I think the gist of the article is: Sometimes (not always) the winning move is not to play. I have experienced this phenomenon before where my best ideas are had in the shower, or a software bug is resolved after going for a walk in nature.

Yeah but many opt out of telemetry so the amount of users would be substantially higher. Also I can just spoof my useragent to Chrome to use certain sites that require chrome-only users.

There’s no mention of it being a strictly UK affair in the app description. I imagine 100s of people download it each day, fill in the form and then bail once they realize it’s UK only.

That’s the double edged sword of cash. Whilst it guarantees privacy, it also enables criminal transactions.

The Treasury should setup several mixer honeypot services to find out who’s tumbling dirty money. This would be far more effective and would turn people off using mixers (at least for a while) and would uncover a vast criminal network.

I downloaded Monzo on the Play store and installed it. During registration it asked for personal data like my address etc then proceeded to tell me it’s a UK only app. I was shocked. I’m in the EEA and thought I could use the app. It should

I only ever used prepaid CCs that you load with a fixed amount. CCs that allow you to spend more than is in the account is financial vampirism and needs to stop.

It’s worth having some form of takeaway from a book, even if it’s just one profound paragraph that resonated with you, and the rest can be filtered out. I mostly read self help, and have managed to boil some books down to a little kernel of

Yeah I’ve even had very personal dreams where my Linux root password was spoken in the dream. I’m glad I don’t talk in my sleep. There’s also truth serums that can be weaponized in war scenarios to extract secrets from the enemy without res

Gabriel, whilst you’re answering questions here, I have one slightly tangential question and it’s as follows: why does DDG not have a warrant canary? I’m skeptical of using the service since it’s a US based service and the US doesn’t have a

Some sites have multiple versions of the same page. Like there would be a GitHub repo, and then a GitHub page residing on site.github.io that is usually the same thing. Also some projects eventually get an entire dedicated domain after resi

I imagine depression is a multi-faceted problem and not singularly a chemical imbalance problem. On a holistic level it could also mean you’re spiritually broken and don’t have the right tools to navigate life and its many hurdles. People n

I read a quote that went something like: Even the paranoiacs know a little something of what’s going on . Most paranoia is baseless and delusional, but every now and then it has some foundation. It depends on who you are. This is why I don

By mentally ill I mean it can cause extreme paranoia. Obviously not in all cases. It depends on set and setting. Imagine taking shrooms at a death metal concert and seeing demons for example. I’m all for the ritualistic set and setting, and
