And yet no comment on the reliability or trustworthiness of existing UK news content? Seems like this is a half-baked, populist attempt to looking like they're doing _something_, when in reality the UK has demonstrated that it has insu

Their domain privacy service just blackholes any emails sent to it instead of forwarding them on. Almost cost me a domain due to their scammy set-up - since the domain was listed as "Domains By Proxy" or something similar, GoDaddy

I agree, but struggle slightly: In the past I've cut out the news and felt much better fairly quickly. However, it gets to a point where there's something that happens that I should be aware of - like the annual budget speech, or

I believe that the argument they rely on is that if you're pasting it then you must have it written down somewhere so that you could have copied it. It's not a completely left-field position - it's definitely wrong in a moder

Keto absolutely works. The first time I did it was from sedentary and about 60lbs overweight. It felt like a life hack how fast I was losing weight. Fast forward to a new, leaner, me and I try exercising properly. On Keto there's no

So if they're getting the hosting for free on your free tier, that means you're charging £14.99 per month for them to have a domain name? I'm in a position right now where I have a domain, I have a FB business page, and I wan

I feel like your second paragraph is getting the focus of everyone's ire, whilst your first point is being missed (and is a much better one): >I have to say that by the time anyone has infosec written down and categorized it is obso

Don't get into consumer credit debt. Not huge figures, but I'd convinced myself that I would always have debt so I might as well not care about it. This led to my buying things I didn't really need on credit, whilst just pa

I used to advocate a similar philosophy to you on this. Now, I'm in a bit of a transition phase, although I'm not sure exactly where I'm transitioning to. This article [0] has made points that I'm not certain I complete

An interesting idea for a few reasons. Users don't have to remember passwords, which is a strong benefit, but the user's security is now dependent on the security of their mail provider, or their own security practices in relation

I'd say I was "partially technical" I guess. I work in security so have technical expertise in that space - the traditional 'hacker' - but I don't primarily sell myself as technical in business. I'm here b
