Makes you wonder how much KYC data is being used for ad tech. There’s a perverse incentive to do more KYC, for more than compliance reasons.

Quite the slippery slope. Cloudflare still hosts the IPFS-backed UI to Tornado Cash for example. (OFAC-sanctioned)

I believe their UX is similar to PayPal or Stripe where anyone can “join” - but performing money transfers triggers the actual KYC “additional verification.”

This happened to me. An eBay buyer lied that the item I sold was never delivered. eBay sided in their favor, I was scammed by the buyer. My PayPal account went negative and bank account was debited of a few thousand dollars while a freshman

Cloudflare Tunnel is great for NAT traversal.

It’s also a number that inflation makes convenient for warrantless intelligence gathering.

For the ~95% I think banking must be smooth or there would be great outcry. In my experience the risk of becoming unbanked, even temporarily, has become worse and worse for the increasing number of “outliers”: - a common name - previous vic

Ranking by miles per disengagement without context as to which roads the vehicles drove on does not feel like the most useful metric. (On a track? In a well-mapped city? Cross-country on highways?)

This problem led us to self-hosting Gitlab four years ago, I can't believe it's still an issue in 2022. It's appalling that a "developer product" like Github remains such a blocker to IPv6 adoption, especially for h

This is a consumer rights issue across our industry. Algorithmic customer support “decisions” should always be appealable to a human audience. My Google account was banned years ago, “computer says no” - all of my attempts to appeal failed.

I think their growth numbers would have looked much differently if they had transparently disclosed the reality on their login form from day one: “Plaid will store your plaintext password and use it to periodically access your bank account.

The use of third party KYC services like Onfido is widespread in the cryptocurrency space as well, where over-compliance is the norm right now. Consumers are given little choice as to which provider stewards their ID scans, bank statements,

I highly recommend Fastmail. Self hosting is a dream but spam filter monopolies are a nightmare. Opting out of being the product is a good compromise. I pay for email.

Please be more clear about this in your site's "Predictable pricing" section. Google results for "site:withcardinal.com pricing" link to 404 errors at withcardinal.com/pricing - this feels misaligned with predi

I’m a big believer in their future. As soon as they release their native crypto deposit/withdraw functionality beyond beta (it’s amazing), Robinhood will be the first true crypto exchange with an attached U.S. bank account. [1] That me

I have been unbanked and am not open to talking about it publicly at this time.

My statement was vague, apologies. I meant client-side pass through of devices. (such as plugging a USB device into your client, and the remote VM believing it is local) SPICE on Proxmox may support this but I find it incredibly clumsy to c

It's no coincidence that some of the strongest criticism against cryptocurrency happens here, in a community mostly of banked, relatively prosperous people in stable countries. May you never personally experience being unbanked or othe

Proxmox is great for this as well, minus VMWare’s optimized “VNC” compression and ability to pass through hardware devices.

I thought about this, but you're still stuck trusting the implementation unless you test with actual illegal data, which is often criminal and immoral to obtain. Example: How does a researcher test whether algorithmically-classified il

How does someone truly test how this feature is being used without possessing illegal content? This is a nearly-impossible area to research. Frightening. (edit: I'm of course referring to possessing anti-Putin memes) (sarcasm)

“Safety” depends on your threat model. Unencrypted (password-less) WIFI traffic is trivial to sniff. Decide how much you care about the unencrypted portions of your traffic: SNI headers, HTTP, DNS, flow logs of which IPs you are connecting

That’s horrible. My Google account was also suspended at a time when I needed it most, due to no actions of my own. A hacker gained access to it and was demanding Bitcoin donations in my name. I tried every appeal process. I tried to backch

319 ETH per acre. ($1mil USD today) I'm struggling to find a way to constructively criticize. Project aside, the video is not at all professional to a western audience. (watch all of it, I dare you) It's stylistically tone-deaf fo

Many governments forbid getting paid cash under the table, especially without a visa. I believe history will show cryptocurrency to be even more resilient than cash as an international, sometimes private, means of transferring value between

What’s uninformed is caving to a blanket rejection of all cryptocurrency despite there being many eco-friendlier alternatives to Bitcoin, and many ways to offset approximate carbon footprints. If you’re a “privacy company,” you better learn
