Valid point. Afaict, vpns I've used route all network activity regardless of phone state, but that's likely dependant on the service.

A VPN obfuscates this. Assuming a target is even remotely aware, you might think they are in Australia, while they're actually in Nova Scotia

I can send a link in Whatsapp to a domain I control and track if clicked. How is that different?

If under-representation is because of preference and not discrimination, then there is no problem to be solved. I work in a wood shop with a bunch of men. It's a physical job, but there's no reason a woman couldn't do it, but

Can't control but they are generally predictable. I tend to ride the same trail loop, so know it's condition based on recent weather. For new trails, it's helpful to ride with someone who's done it before, otherwise just

I got off a road bike onto a mountain because I feel I have more control. A motorist plowing me from behind on the highway is something I can't control. How fast or cautious I ride is in my control. It does help to be familiar with wha

I don't see this trend as generational though. There are just as many boomers as zoomers glued to their phones.

TSA does not do border control, and in fact border control is usually relatively fast compared to being re-screened through security (TSA). Edit: It's convenient if you are a digital native, but elderly folks, among others, will not fi

I wouldn't qualify standing in a line as endless misery... Regardless, I have global entry so I do appreciate the desire to skip a line, but I don't follow how 100% digitization solves the need for checkpoints completely. It just

I draw a different conclusion from your analogy though. One should continue to plant those seeds of friendship wherever you are. Friendship is not zero sum. "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today

But there currently isn't a problem with physical passports. They work! Why introduce new problems? I was bike touring and wasn't carrying a phone. Isn't that allowed?

Or... Canada! I've biked from Montana into Alberta and the border crossing was in the middle of forest in the middle of nowhere. Definitely no reception or wifi there.

Yes, but... I used to discover great new (to me) artists on Spotify. Now I'm pigeon holed by "the algorithm", to the point where when I start a new playlist based on an artist or song it's 90% songs already in my liked l

You similarly reduced all Americans to a stereotype with this comment. If you get your idea of Americans from internet discourse, you may come away with this impression, but it's a shallow view of a diverse country.

The Bahamas is my guess, and would be relatively easy to ferry a car there from Florida.

As I said. It's not about efficiency. Knock (pre-ignition) will destroy an engine. I have a naturally aspirated infinity, but with compression ratio around 13:1 it calls for premium. Believe me I wouldn't pay for it if it wasn&#x2

by sojournerc 2y ago
High compression engines require high octane to avoid knock. It's not about performance. An engine with a turbo or super charger will always need higher octane fuel.

There was an influx of less than savory characters after reddit censorship of some unfortunate subs, but I don't think voat was created for "bad actors", which is why OP's question is relevant.

Relevant username. Voat definitely fell victim to bad actors. Are you a creator/founder?

Good question. I think a big part of physical engineers' credential comes down to liability, which ultimately leads to civil engineering firms hiring contientious and responsible engineers. It's a internal feedback loop that the s

I get it, this is hacker news after all, but it really could be worthwhile for the profession to differentiate between someone who picked up Python for a weekend project, and someone with 30 years experience with real-world systems. Would y

I think, yes and no. Yes, there is no formal standard or certification, and that opens the door for charlatans and sloppy crap. No, designing and implementing software systems well requires planning, fail safes, redundancy and all kind of t

My Suunto sport watch logs the workout and automatically syncs to the phone. You could get your work tracked and avoid screen time that way. It sounds like you're using the phone for a workout plan though... Nothing is perfect
