didn't read the article, but felt you had to comment after all? The first section deals with your "insight" (yeah HN says don't be snarky, but come on): > In this and all below charts, all $1 USD is equivalent to $1 P

At first glance (and the glances after that), the blurring makes me think there are things being censored. IMO unhelpful because the audience will think "hey why is this screenshotter hiding stuff before and after the quote?"

Yeah, the YouTube ad shows this (there's a quick screenshot of an email address with .kz after the emoji). But the ad also does the trick of eliminating the ccTLD after gmail and yahoo, it asks you "Still using an @gmail address?&

If they wanted to end "surveillance capitalism", helping the company that supply these systems secure them better would not help their goal. Or maybe they can collect the millions, and publish the compromising material anyway? Alt

I'm reminded of a redditor commenting how he visited a music festival in Sweden as a foreigner, and how annoying it was for him, because all the food stands were expecting the Swedish payment system. And he couldn't even ask other

And you have to scan your bank card (which apparently in Sweden is a secondary ID card) to enter. I wonder if they do an extra verification to make sure you just didn't steal someone's card, maybe with a PIN? Hah, I guess for the

I use Vivaldi, but use a different browser for Facebook, to limit tracking (although Zuck probably knows it's me from the IP address). That browser used to be Chrome, but now Chrome warns me when I save JPEG files that it might be harm

And Opera before that also has the "place the tab bar at any side you want" option (Vivaldi's founder is one of Opera's founders who left after the Chinese takeover of Opera).

The Rogers comission was also just going to bury the problem and almost absolve NASA of guilt, Feynman fought to get his appendix in the report, and he also later said that he was being gently lead to discover the O-rings issue during his i

Smells like it, they probably want to GME themselves. I remember reading someone's opinion how the current SV companies are basically ponzi schemes (e.g. WeWork), the big institutional investors hype them up and get the first stocks, r

You're probably being downvoted for the 1st sentence. And for the Edit. Why is it ignorant? OP is just stating a fact. Is OP the PC police, or is he the canary trying to warn that the "cancel mob" might attack this project if
