If you were one of the most successful people on the planet and at the head of a company that deified you, you could probably do with a memento mori as well.

The ROI is unencrypting your files and returning to business as usual

The money is generally spent doing both things surely. One doesn't stop the other

Ransomware encrypts files on the disk also. The business pays to unencrypt the files and achieve business as usual operations. The business doesn't need to trust the attackers not to further share data to get their upside, though I&#x2

While true sometimes, like when the US says they won't negotiate with terrorists, the realpolitik is that if the data is valuable enough normally companies will pay for it. Most won't take some moral stand that costs them money.

> “We have successfully [compromised] all of [Sony’s] systems,” Ransomed.vc proclaimed. “We won’t ransom them! We will sell the data. Due to Sony not wanting to pay. DATA IS FOR SALE. WE ARE SELLING IT.” The key detail. If Sonys not will

If you think you can explain to anyone and convince them easily, you’re likely wrong. Unless you’re some god of charisma. Try and make someone have your opinion, it’s incredibly hard. If they disagree they won’t say so openly but they will

Fair, though my initial long fast did pretty much kill my cravings overnight

Yes. I didn’t even start this for weight loss. I started it after reading Jason Fungs book on type 2 diabetes prevention

Also, sorry, I think I missed out a detail that this regime only works for me if I avoid all sugary and processed food. If I do something like eat a big chocolate bar, I’m also immediately hungry again and craving chocolate and treats and p

I no longer have to worry about counting calories to maintain my weight. I simply don’t get hungry when I don’t need food. When calorie counting Id be eating every two hours, constantly snacking and weighing a budget of calories I could spe

I eat breakfast at around 8/9ish, lunch, and then dinner before 7, normally at 6. This gives me my rough 12/12 with some give and take. I specify 3 meals because I no longer snack in between them at all. Including no sugary drinks

Yes, it’s mad how accustomed we all are to sugar. I think I was getting around 20-30% of my calories from sugar, and regularly would have chocolate at work as a pick me up when I started flagging. I thought the energy was fueling my brain b

Everyone has their own rules on this stuff. On 16/8 I couldn’t get enough calories

As the other commenter said this was less than my necessary calories. So generally I needed 2800~ calories, and when cutting i’d eat 2200~ calories. Sometimes less when I wanted to step it up to 1.5~ or so lbs a week., but a lb a week was

Once going on my fasting and only eating 3 meals a day, I lost 8kg and for the last two months have been maintained a stable weight without having to think about calories at all. I won’t be going back. Edit: also, I was never massively over

Yes this exactly. Apologies for not being clear.

Annoying article to read. Why swear so much? Anyway. I used to believe this. Every few months I'd flip between dieting, and not dieting (putting on weight). When dieting, I'd go on a 500 calories restriction. This meant religious

You may be wrong, you may be right, but I like your sentence - 'that (maybe) the manipulation of desire is rewarded' Thank you for your take

Thanks, that’s more understandable

This is a hard read. It seems to require a lot of context to understand. Is it basically saying everyone online wants attention and that makes them girls?

It’s probably worth worrying more about climate change which is a feedback loop we’re directly causing, versus an major asteroid impact which is a once every 300~ million year occurrence
