The unique thing about YTTV was that it kind of combined the live content, and watch any show on demand. Their DVR option gives you unlimited storage, and keeps shows you record for 9 months. So you could basically just spend an hour when y

I'm glad you had a good experience, but the one car I've bought from a dealer was the typical horrible sales experience -- long negotiation, then making me wait forever, then they put the wrong price on the contract and apologize

I believe you've transposed "harm" and "good" in your quote. The linked Pew article lists the question as "Do more good than harm."

I think they'd usually use one of the non-KYC exchanges to move the money into an anonymous cryptocurrency, and then out to whatever they wanted. I'm not sure why they don't skip the intermediate step and just ask for Monero

I haven't heard about the mining pools collaborating on censorship. Do you have any sources I can read up on?

I haven't tested but, as far as I'm aware unlock origin never sends anything back to a site, it just blocks content so I expect that it would just remove the element with no feedback.

It's not just US-centric. DDG is just a little bad about local queries in general. With Google, if I'm looking for a local business, or something in the news locally, there's a decent chance I can just search for it and I&#x2
