   Sign up flows serve more purposes than just a funnel for new users (which IMO is part of a problem with how we build websites in general, but I digress). Anti-scam/fraud account identification can rely heavily on inputs up front. I&#x

   I know you're trying to make a point about censorship existing, but I'm not sure if loli porn and scam online pharmacies were really contributing to the internet.

   Comparing an 800,000 employee company with 1,000 employee companies doesn't really match up. This comment feels a little like gaslighting.

   Seems like a pretty important piece of information to share with potential users up front though, for something marketing itself with a privacy focus.

   This has been the model traditionally but retailers have been shifting to renting shelf/floor space to wholesalers and manufacturers. You may see certain fully-branded end caps in grocery stores, or kiosks in Best Buy, for example. It

    Well, tax circumvention never is a good idea, but I know plenty of military folks who get away with it though. I once saw a sailboat named "Minsc", that had a dingy hanging off the stern named "Boo" but it was gone befor

    Whiteboarding has been a real loss here. It feels like ages since I picked up a marker and made a data model. There really is no remote alternative that isn't super expensive or lacks the responsiveness of in-person.

    Eventually. Probably. The characteristics that make Bitcoin unsuitable as a currency right now isn't is deflationary printing, it's that it's unregulated, uncontrolled, and subject to tragedy of the commons (as is seen wit

    I'm not a monero folk and think it has no real world application outside of criminal dealings. Monero is being used as a currency though which is relevant because bitcoin used to be used as a currency too before the first bubble/s

    Well, Monero is the crypto of choice these days for drug dealers, due to the fact that feds have backtraced BTC transactions to bust people. Most trusted BTC exchanges are going KYC so even tax evaders have to start reconsidering.

    Yep, it's like lightning is moving closer and closer to credit cards, which was what blockchain was supposed to substitute.

    Precisely. Lightning scales with the number of transactions, but does not scale with the number of users. For that it still needs the bitcoin network to verify, and you're back at your transaction bottleneck but with added complexity.

    The right to a GDPR erasure request is sometimes called the right to be forgotten: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-17-gdpr/ It is confusing, bc the latter is sometimes also used to refer to index removal too.
