I believe the future is with powerful web apps. They're cross-platform & often easy to use. I don't have to worry about downloading & installing. In the future, they'll be able to run as efficiently as non-browser app

I don't know much in terms of blockchain _research_, but reading the whitepapers of established cryptocurrencies will give you a great overview & keywords to research further. - Bitcoin[0] (the classic!) - Ethereum[1] (contracts is

Hello everyone – I'm the creator of Enlist. I recently discovered TrackMeNot[0], an addon that fights tracking by polluting metadata. It doesn't make you anonymous, but creates "noise" to hide behind. We know that the NS

Non-American here -- what is wrong with UMN? I visited once, and it seemed like a decent university.

FYI I get an error when I try to visit the page (on Firefox) and have to add an exception. I think it has something to do with SSL? I tried to recreate it, but after I added the exception it's not appearing again.

I messaged them one day asking about their price, and they put me on a "student plan". Not sure how it works outside of that, sorry. They have fantastic customer support -- try emailing them?

Yeah, by "everyone" I meant the significant majority -- just semantics. It's a very difficult problem. Most people agree that CP is horrible and should be removed. However, what happens when the media turns a very large major

This is a good solution for general "content filters", but how do you enforce a global filter -- i.e. for illegal content that everyone agrees should not be visible? Like CP? If this is not possible, I'm sure the government w

I'm a huge fan of Notion.so. They offer personal plans, and a free plan to students. They've helped me organise my life - I've built a small personal "wiki" of study notes, WIP writing, calendar plans & email dr

I love the writing style of this author. Experiencing a well-written bit of content is refreshing, and honestly makes me want to go write something. I haven't felt like this since I moved from primary school fiction to adult novels.

Is nicotine bad for you? I thought it was just what made cigarettes addictive, and all the other stuff is what made them unhealthy. Happy to be proved wrong -- I'll let some eCig friends know ;)

This is something I'd love to do. Do you have any resources for learning the background info? Everywhere I've looked just plugs in some TCP/socket library, but I think the real learning would come from _making_ the library it
