As far as I'm aware, no one is still looking as Fravia is dead and +Orc hasn't posted publicly in decades. I always thought they were the same person. Fravia was operating at a time when reverse engineering was very dangerous lega

I started ordering at Target. They have a similar program for free "2-day" shipping (through USPS, so the same issues as Amazon. Averages 2-3 days) if you sign up for their credit card. Obviously a vastly smaller selection, but th

I could and thought about that. If Apple focuses less on privacy on the future, I could go the fastmail route. Apple, if I recall correctly, does let you change your icloud ID, thus moving away shouldn't be hard. For now, I'd rath

I've been switching to Apple as well from Google/Microsoft, and the only challenging part so far is grabbing a professional icloud username. I'm very, very late to the icloud e-mail party, so literally every e-mail that doesn

I suppose that depends on how much 400-500$ is worth to you. I'd pay 500$ to not have a mobile tracking device developed by an advertising company on me at all times, but I have that luxury from working in tech.

The concept of xyz "villages" at DefCon was always pretty silly. Very little, if anything, new is going to come out when people have no real time or access to these devices. Combine that with the technical skill of the average att

No, that event didn't hurt the rich and powerful, just the average Joe. Something more along the lines of search history leaking or being used for insider trading. Something of that nature.

My guess is that Apple is positioning themselves for an inevitable future where privacy is taken a bit more seriously or at least legislated against. While this seems far fetched right now in the United States with the Google ad monopoly, I

Useless anecdote incoming, but after always reading the many hastily posted defenses posted after anyone claims that teachers get to take summer off, I asked a friend who started teaching a few years ago. He said that you do indeed get most

Sure, after anti-trust, which isn't a thing in the United States anymore. All hail the ever increasing stock and housing market, the savior of the boomers, the one true political goal.

Bogleheads [1] has an interesting thread on the same topic. Mostly the same talking points, but a lot of anger towards millennials for "not paying their fair share". A bit disappointing. Bogleheads is an excellent investing forum,

Good point. Over that period, you probably could cash out on a house in Boulder and make a pretty easy 500K+ if you were lucky enough to purchase before the great weed deluge.

I wonder how much, if any, of depression or anxiety could be linked to having such a low opinion of what you achieved. Whether or not his assertion is true, I don't understand how that would help anyone's psyche.

Just to be clear, you believe you would starve if immigration policy was changed in such a way that farmers received less subsidies and had to pay a fair wage to get work done?

Probably better binning.

No reason to do that with current immigration "policy", or lack thereof.
