Wouldn’t that change all of the passwords?

Doesn’t this mean that you can never change your password for a given site? E.g. if some retailer leaks a bunch of data and is storing passwords in plain text or something, I want to be able to rotate my password for that website.

> You need to work enough at a good rate to get the income you want. If you were making $100k at a full-time job that's about $50/hr. This is further clarified in the rest of the comment, but I wanted to call attention to this.

Public speaking and giving better presentations are both good skills to practice to become more articulate in an informal conversational setting. The core principle is the same: think before you speak. Sometimes, you have the benefit of thi

Why move the goal posts? An “unwilling transaction” is either theft, fraud, or coercion, pure and simple. Why should it be legal to pay somebody to kill? That seems insane to me. Especially since the laws in many countries could/would

Living by any strict moral code sometimes requires sacrifice to be in compliance. Theism is not the only moral guardrail in peoples' lives.

Buying drugs is not the only illegal thing you can do with Bitcoin though. People who do not understand what bitcoin even is, for instance, are frequently talked into using bitcoin "atms" to send money to scammers. It happens all

Think of it in the same way as email: anyone can stand up a server, the users on that server are addressable by users on other servers, and some communication can happen between them. There are obviously differences under the hood, but it&#

I think you may be over complicating this. It’s not one giant network of users like Twitter. It’s individual servers who know how to communicate with some specified protocol - just like email. How “findable” is your email address? Are there

It sounds like you are running into the same problem that I did, which is that I wanted a structure to fill out with info. Don't do that. IMO, it's the hardest possible way to go about writing anything non-trivial. Start writing i

Also, many of these problems work the other way too. Instead of forcing somebody to ask clarifying questions, ask you to describe at a different level of detail, etc., you can ask ahead of time. "What level of detail are you looking fo

FWIW, I found this kind of question to be much less frustrating when I remember that communication is a 2+ player activity. If poor communication is happening, it is the responsibility of all parties involved to remedy the problem. That is,

React Native is a huge PITA. It’s not worth it for a one person dev team. Try flutter. I highly recommend the appbrewery video course - it’s $10 and teaches you everything you need to know.
