Using PGP securely is as easy as downloading some software, typing in your message, and clicking a button. It's not something that requires any knowledge beyond basic computer usage. You aren't going to be able to stop people from

Ever slept in a room with a wireless router before? Those flashing lights get annoying.

Some places have lots of off-road bike trails. I live in Minneapolis and bike to work most days in the spring, summer, and fall (on a bike trail). The ground is flat, so it's easy to go 12+ mph without breaking a sweat.

Not to downplay the skill involved in lifeguarding, but the camera position/focal length in most of those videos offers an absolutely terrible view of those swimming compared to what the lifeguard can see. In my experience, the challen

Since 2010, population growth has either restarted in many cities that lost inhabitants for decades, or has accelerated for cities that never stopped growing. New York, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, D.C., Minneapolis, Miami, Philadelphia,

I'm skeptical that you can call this a cycle when we have no idea what's going to happen... Suburbanization isn't some recurring thing that's happened countlessly throughout history. It's also possible to have urban

Looking at social media, it seems like lots more people know how to screenshot than directly download an image, leading to screenshots of images being shared. Strange phenomenon.

The largest use of DNMs is for the sale of illegal recreational drugs. Regardless of your feelings on the matter, I hope that it's clear that crimes like that fall into a different ethical category than child pornography.

As far as I know, all dark net markets (including Silk Road when it was around) strongly recommend that you encrypt all text containing sensitive information using PGP. They don't force you to, though.

The missing context here that no other comments have mentioned is that the violence in question here is almost certainly perpetrated by and against poor blacks. Race relations in the US--particularly those between the black urban poor and w

Haha, you have a good point, but 2048 is a terrible example because it's one of many clones of Threes. What you said applies very well to Threes, though.

I have no evidence for this, but I think that your chances of funding a violent group with your purchase would be significantly lower on a dark net market than if you made the purchase on the street.

Interestingly enough, my experience using Yik Yak at a small liberal arts college is quite different. As the article notes, posts get removed if their score reaches -5. My observations are that basically any post with any negative connotati

The idea of carrying cash to hand over if you get mugged being a safety precaution is funny to me. I never really thought about it that way. I always thought of not carrying cash as a way to lessen the risk of getting mugged, or at least le

That's true, but I have a hard time believing it has anything to do with the fact that their laptops can get really hot. It's clearly marketing to differentiate themselves from their competitors.
