I don't think it's specific to sailing. If you're towing a car, would you let the driver of that car get in your back seat? Someone needs to be in control of the vehicle being towed, in case you need to break (if possible), c

What an incredibly pessimistic definition of democracy. By your standards, even the People’s Republic of China could be considered very close to a functioning democracy, albeit with the caveat that they don’t allow multiple parties. If free

So you’re saying “The maximum permitted radiation leakage for a nuclear power plant” in my example is not a small amount?

In the exact example you provide I agree that “bananas for scale” can make sense, but I still claim that it scales very badly when talking about larger amounts of radiation.

The previous thread about this incident was incredibly frustrating to read, with many more or less openly saying that Mullvad was lying or somehow secretly cooperating with authorities in order to keep their hardware. Hopefully this post ca

That’s not how a non-disparagement clause works. It puts restrictions on what you’re allowed to say. It doesn’t require you to correct what other people say. If your badly thought through assumption was correct, the logical response from hi

The main difference is that Mullvad cares about privacy while Nord is a cash-grab operation that sponsors youtubers.

Yes it does, but Mullvad may have good reasons for not sharing it. For example that it does nothing to improve their information to their customers (ie what exactly is being investigated is irrelevant for the public), while simultaneously d

You don’t have a very rich imagination. It’s entirely possible this warrant was executed for no other reason than compliance, if requests come from foreign agencies for example obviously they have to be acted upon even if you are almost cer

You have a strange definition of “facts”. Your first point, “America is a single market” is a fact, and a pretty uncontroversial one. America being “geographically isolated from war” is conjecture. Whether Mexico will invade, or whether P
