That's incredible. How has he not patented the process and made a fortune from selling a cure for lactose intolerance?

They should simply stop using social media. Why ban everyone else?

Maybe you should move to a community that shares your values rather than getting the state to impose those values on everyone.

What is that hidden service scanner showing with regards to monero?

Every time I try to use TramsferWise, I end up jumping through KYC hoops for hours - days. Sending crypto is much simpler and faster.

How is the serial number on cash any more anonymous than bitcoin addresses?

The private key used for attestation is stored in the secure element hardware, which runs its own OS, completely inaccessible to the main hardware's OS, even with root. Some apps don't actually check the attestation signatures, so

Why should the method of payment solve that problem? A reputation system for sellers and service providers makes more sense to be entirely separate.

Non-Google attestation is still a bad thing. I'd much rather GrapheneOS continue to get popular enough that banking apps are forced to support phones without attestation.

> I think the easiest way to do that would be to run Android in a VM. The problem is the critical payment and government ID apps that will never run in an Android VM because they intentionally break without hardware attestation.

That's really not true. Sure, there are huge amounts of scams and ponzi schemes and that's what gets attention, but crypto is absolutely used every day by many in a decentralized and effectively anonymous way. Dark markets are st

People putting their self-interests before maintaining support for more general principles is par for the course. Even the vast majority of free-market maximalists will support a government bailout of large banks or the auto industry if it

Did you mean to reply to someone else? No one is claiming the US government is doing less terrible things than the Indian government.

If by "society" you mean the state, I disagree. The world is changing quickly, and many people may run into problems, but I'd rather let cultural solutions to these problems naturally arise. Relying on a government to impose

I had the same reaction my first year. I found the NixOS documentation to be very poor and the lack of a single set of best practices (e.g., imperative, declarative, home config, flakes) to be frustrating. I switched a couple devices to Gu

The decision to update or not shouldn't be taken away from users. Frequent updates have the downside of more frequent breakage and of course extra bandwidth usage. Let users make the trade off between those downsides and the risk of z

My (very non-technical) 70 year old mom was actually happy to use Element because it has a nice desktop client, so she can more easily type and see pictures than on her phone screen. Simplex Chat would have worked for her as well.

by rjdj377dhabsn 10mo ago
Simplex Chat looks like a decent alternative. It also has the benefit of not needing a phone number or email address.

It shouldn't be that expensive. I had 10x 500w installed and wired on my 7-8 meter high roof in 1/2 day. I only paid $50 where I ljve, but even with 10x higher labor costs in the US, it should be under $1000.
50.
by rjdj377dhabsn 10mo ago
Those limits are just arbitrary regulations. It's easy to install 10x that on a residential roof.

Ah yes, quite a few. Not great, but definitely better than literally no door.

by rjdj377dhabsn 10mo ago
Yes, not one. I just googled for pictures of hotel bathrooms without doors out of curiosity and mostly see sliding and frosted glass doors. Is that what people are talking about?

The app takes up Android's only VPN slot, but some like RethinkDNS have VPN support built-in, so you can still connect to another actual VPN.

Huh.. I've stayed in over 1,000 hotels and Airbnbs over the last 15 years and not once saw a bathroom with no door. Lots of bathroom windows, but always some kind of door.

How would you handle things like probability distributions with infinite support?

Isn't that the whole idea of hipsters? They existed far before online culture. And not much different to how teenagers have always rebelled against the traditional culture.

Governments respond to populist pressure. I think most people just aren't aware of how bad air pollution can be or that it even exists. I was recently in a small Asian village where the pollution gets very bad for a couple months when

by rjdj377dhabsn 10mo ago
I wonder how the amount compares to other fine particulate pollution.. would it move the needle on a pm2.5 sensor? And would a standard air filter remove most of it?

How is this method any different from encrypting the private key without any secure enclave? Isn't it just using a password derived key?

Agreed. I normally find the complaints about formatting to be petty, but for a long form writing piece like this, all lowercase is just a bad choice with no discernable upside.
