Microsoft is doing a service to all of us by destroying Skype. Nobody should use it anyway from the moment MS has bought it with sole purpose of handing data over to NSA&Friends.

Drone killings in Pakistan? Different dataset, but that's just nitpicking.

"Situation is real, but the problem is made up". You did made up that point, after all. Once again - if you are using other currency, being it BTC, CHF, EUR, RUB or CNY, you are exposing yourself and counterparty to exchange rate

I believe that we have an example of such "success". In Stasi era total surveillance was too expensive. Today technology made it cheap, hence we do total surveillance. We could try to bet on technology-first approach. That means r

Do you agree with the fact that UBI means less fraud and less bureaucracy? I can safely assume that you do. Attempting to reject solution by calling it imperfect is a strawman.

Which is by itself broken. Large websites exchange certificates very often, rendering pinning useless. Unless you are talking not about pinning but about pinning by external actor, such as Google. And that is just moving your own security f

This is good since it protects you from snooping from ISPs/carriers. You are still exposed to Google/Apple, since it can easily combine your contact information with traffic information and with great deal of probability detect wh

Do you see a better way of doing distributed (maybe anonymous) markets? I don't have much faith in OpenBazaar since their reliance on trusted 3rd parties mean that they are wide open to collusion between party and arbiter.

This behaviour is very risky for fraudster. Some buyers will suck up the loss and free the money. Others will say "fuck this guy" and will not free money. What are the chances what fraudster will make money out of this? As for you
