Process is much easier to change then changing people. Its why the government deducts taxes from you, instead of you paying at the end of the year (both because you'd spend it all, and you'd be pissed doing a bulk sum payment). Li

Same goes for sugar. We know the dangers it poses, we are also seeing how much it increases risk of death due to covid. I don't think we should be surpsied, as much as pushing to regulate this garbage. As an aside, Michelle Obama&#x27

Misspelt self sovereign identity* oops. I'm making a frontend client, that lets you setup a vault / wallet. You can then store secrets. I'm working on adding "contacts" (via public key), and then implementing the ke

I’m making a self sobering identity vault / wallet where I can setup a threshold cryptography scheme to share keys with friends and family for recovery.

I wish I saw this before I started on the road with React Native. Lot's of similarities but seems easier and thinner (i.e. npm is too bloated).

Yes it does. One rotten apple spoils the bunch. That's not to say guilt by association, but yes it is suspect.

A user posted this comment then deleted it. Is this true? If so. JFC. >>> Take this with a grain of salt. LogMeIn, the owners of LastPass, had a Chinese APT group in their servers for years. They only found out because the attacker

Not a fair comparison. Years saved should be looked at. Elderly dying from covid is not the same as suicide at 25.

Outlaw as in make it painful for those who use it. Cannabis has put many people in jail, its a plant that continued to exist. Same can be done with this. You’re not using government approved electronics, in jail you go.

Ah... I had a motorcycle stolen in NYC. Smoothest insurance claim process ever. Granted the cops had the thief on the bike going over Brooklyn bridge at 3am. Progressive paid for full value of bike (which at the time, pandemic just started

Cars can't drive in 2 feet of snow either. And if you say what about plows? Plows apply to bike lanes and roads - which ideally would be bike / bus / vans only.

So I registered for an account just now. Most interesting part was when I had to login. You have to use a Web UI keyboard (i.e. buttons arranged in a keyboard), to key in the password. I use a pw manager, so that would be annoying. Ended up

IoT devices get infected because they usually use common software stacks that go un patched. There's crawlers always doing their thing and looking to pop these.

Another thing is create a contract or promise with yourself that sets out conditions which when met would result in you quitting or finding something new. It’s really hard in the moment or while on the inside to make a good decision. But if

Agreed. I use brain.fm (no affiliation) and have found it great for focusing. While I ride around the city on a bike or euc, I find faster pace music great for getting in the zone / flow state. For the latter example, I wonder how much

What city do you live in? Also while 2 bikes occupying a large portion of living space is not ideal, people do it in NYC in 400 sqft apartments.

The unagi scooter has them[1]. In all honesty, they're garbage for NYC. They are somewhat of a hard plastic, and do not provide the kind of give that your want for roads which have imperfections. It saddens me that peoples first impres

The price of a prediction depends on what people are currently predicting. So you can't keep it blind. Well I guess one way would be to put in limit orders on odds you're willing to take, and not revealing the market price. Howeve

Crypto is far too broad a term to use and say it's the same as Gold. In many ways it worse (PoW for Bitcoin), in some its better (banking for the bankless). However you can have Crypto that has an inflationary mechanism that's cod

Can you explain further? Are you saying domestic surveillance is leveraged by external state actors? Or that domestic surveillance is used to stop external state actors ?
