Check your Vitamin D levels, just out of curiosity, before giving Vitamin D3 a try. This doctor here says you need to be at 60-80 ng/ml D3 in the blood to get very restful sleep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF24xmJQ

They shouldn't have pretended so hard that everything is just peachy and there's nothing to worry about right after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. They misled investors. I'm glad there's a lawsuit, maybe they won'

You're painting everything with a very broad brush. The "state" by and large has to be transparent to the public.

No? Police actions are supposed to be transparent to the public. Should we treat every single government agency as if they deal with super-secret national security issues and allow them to keep everything secret?

In the same way targeted surveillance from 50 years ago was different from the total surveillance of everyone today, or in the way air strikes from 2 decades ago are different from the tens of thousands of drones strikes that the US launche

Inbox was another attempt at that. If Google wanted true lock-in they could implement a Gmail-only end-to-end encrypted protocol. Ironically, that's the only thing they don't want to do.

I think the main problem is that both Nvidia and AMD miss the cycles of bull runs. They start pumping out GPUs for the crypto market when the market is almost at its peak. Then, the market crashes and they're left with a factory full

How many more failures/lawsuits/scandals does it take for Qualcomm investors to completely replace the board and Qualcomm's top execs?

Yeah, that stood out to me, too. It's kind of funny that they're using the "open" as a competitive advantage against Google, when they no longer have that competitive advantage. I bet they wish they had stayed open rig

Not a stock investor but AMD looks like a solid but for the next few years especially given the fact that Intel is in disarray and will be for a few more years. $100 amd shares by 2021 is not out of the question imo as I believe amd will re

But U2F is used as a 2nd factor, because you still need the password. Are you saying we should give up both passwords and U2F keys when WebAuthn is mainstream? Would that really provide just as good security, or do you think it's 90%
