Is it even worth it for most people? Aren’t there SaaS services like mailgun etc these days that make it kind of a no-brainer to not roll your own.

Everybody understands this. Here’s what companies don’t understand: if you promote your product through a loss leader — which is arguably how Slack became popular in the first place — changing your pricing at a later date will piss people o

From a design perspective, it irks me that the numbers are so much larger than the letters. Why? This would seem to indicate that the numbers are somehow more important which doesn’t make any sense to me.

I feel compelled to be "that guy" for a second and just mention that while this is convenient, it makes you blatantly vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. I mean, host keys exist for a reason. Sure, for many people security ma

Why did you link a tweet to someone saying they “feel like [they] should do a blog about docker-slim at some point”? What does this contribute?

At this point I think the best thing for Robinhood might be to just get bought up by a larger bank and converted into some kind of separate-but-integrated offering with an international focus, competing with companies like Revolut.

Probably yes, but presumably you could achieve this by compressing the data on the file system level as well (for example with ZFS).

My first encounter with Larkin was “This be the verse” which is at this point iconic in my opinion, but the one that resonated with me the most is perhaps not as well known: “I remember, I remember”. I read it soon after having moved for wo

I have no problem understanding the logic behind it but I really hate being forced into a subscription only to cancel it immediately to get what I actually wanted: one month. If your customers only want one month, sell them one month and

Charges for what?

Just because someone draws parallels between A and B doesn’t mean they are claiming exact equivalence.

The crime you’re referring to, like many crimes, requires intent. You can’t charge someone giving a murderer a ride if that person had no idea they had committed a murder. Unless you’re in an authoritarian regime where the courts simply fol

If you want to re-sell for the explicit purpose of having plausible deniability, obviously the best way to go about that would be to actually re-sell and keep your books straight (like any business is expected to). The point is that you d

We’re talking about hypotheticals. If you want to make up a new hypothetical where tying the suspect to the VPN account is irrelevant, what is even your point?

Doing things that may cause international incidents is, while avoided as a matter of priority, literally the CIA’s job.

Are you implying that injecting malware into specific targets is not the CIA’s job? Nobody said they infect “everyone”, it’s most likely not even in their interest to do so.

How is it in any way a straw man argument? I was giving an example of exactly what the comment said was “not a thing”: plausible deniability when buying the cards. If you buy these cards and re-sell them, you have plausible deniability. If

It’s a great compromise. It allows Mullvad to sell physical cards without becoming a logistics company, and anyone who doesn’t want cards (or doesn’t want to support Amazon) can use one of the numerous other options available, including pay

If there’s a demand for it they can just get it off Amazon and mark it up.

> If mullvad sells the cards literally anywhere else, then you can't even say that with certainty. Mullvad doesn’t even have to sell them anywhere else: anyone who bought one on Amazon could have re-sold it, individually or in bulk.
