What's crazy is that we've had public key encryption for over 40 years, and we're still publishing magic numbers on little pieces of plastic that give whoever sees them the power to take all our money without our consent.

I was homeschooled and it worked out well for me. You have to be intrinsically motivated and have a deep curiosity about the world. Actually, all kids are born curious but they lose it over time as adults get annoyed with all their question

Once again, this feels politically motivated. 1. It's old news. 2. They blame Russian hackers, but we rarely ever have full certainty into the true source of an attack. This is due to false flags (for example, the Germans adding some

Sometimes it pays to be boring. One of the hardest parts of using AWS is learning all their silly names for everything. I know it's tempting to be cute when naming things, but everyone else wishes you would just be clear and descriptiv

Couchsurfing has had an incredibly positive impact on my life as well. I've made a lot of lifelong friends and learned a lot about the world and different cultures through the people I've met. The app is atrocious and barely usabl

The level of censorship that Facebook, Medium and YouTube are applying right now should be terrifying to anyone who cares about free speech. Dissenting opinions are important for a free society. If facts and truth are on your side, what are

Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan never went into lockdown. People there can still go to restaurants and mostly carry on with their normal lives. The reason they can do this is they acted quickly and they have mass testing and contact trac

It's doubling even faster right now, but that may be more related to increased testing than anything. Unfortunately, the US is further along the curve than all these sites are showing due to the fact that we didn't have any testin

Individuals can (and do) use similar transfer pricing schemes. They're just really expensive to set up and maintain.

Yeah it's not the digital cash we were promised. But it's great as a store of value, censorship-resistant money, and one of the fastest and cheapest ways to do cross-border remittances.

I love how their product screenshots show a 2 BR Victorian in San Francisco for $2,000 / month. At least they're honest about how many scammy fake listings are on their site.
