That was common in my university as well, for the same reason. I think OP's school lacked some common sense with the schedule.

Why did we as consumers accept this? I remember back when MSN/Windows Live Messenger used to be one of the most popular options out there. Even though I used Ubuntu, I could still chat with my friends through the Pidgin messenger. This

Not any less ludicrous than any other religion. People believing in fairy tales is unfortunately the norm, not the exception. I even find it a bit condescending that this report comes from the BBC. Last time I checked, UK was still predomin

NewPipe is garbage. Vanced has that original YouTube app feel, but works even better.

There are a couple of publicly traded companies with crypto holdings. One idea would be to short those. Galaxy Digital Holdings, for example, is entirely about crypto.

They do choose to move somewhere where their language is not spoken. As stated in this article, the woman was receiving service in Arizona. The official language in that state is English, so you should expect services to be offered in that

This one seems to be a lightweight Vuze fork. The differential is that it should have most of the Vuze features, which are not necessarily available for the programs you mentioned. Swarm Merging, for example, seems to be exclusive to Vuze.

I bought my car via FB marketplace two years ago, and I've been very happy with my purchase so far. I could have lucked out, but don't remember seeing any obvious scam back when I was browsing for cars there. I wonder if it's

But unfortunately it is highly censored. And if you're part of any community that is banned, your account is banned as well. It happens often. Something I experienced, as a former member of a nootropics server. I don't find the se

What is the alternative then? Nobody has done anything after the fake bombings before the Cechnya intervention in 1999, which at least is in their own territory. But then again silence in 2008 after the Georgia invasion, and again in Crime

Your second point does not invalidate it as a double blind. But I agree that the person administering should not be aware.

Not sure what you're talking about. They're are double-blind placebo clinical trials with injectible drugs all the time.

This is probably way more pervasive than we imagine. Several years ago they uncovered a large SAT cheating scheme, out of Thailand. They even made a movie about it : https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/bad_genius And that

I don't think it's common for porn websites to do these sort of verifications. Also, who would trust a sketchy porn website with their id? Remember the Ashley Madison incident?

Have you ever worked with decompiled apps? It's extremely hard. Even more props to Vanced. Yes like they are playing a game on "Hard" mode, while Google is on "Easy".

The website itself used to be hosted in St. Petersburg, Russia at least. Not sure if that's the case anymore though. An American Court even found Sci-Hub guilty, in a lawsuit brought up by Elsevier. But nobody could enforce it, so it w

I'm surprised they did not have a plan for this. I thought Vanced would be based in a more "rebel" country like Russia, which is what Sci-Hub does. A Cease and Desist letter from Google would be meaningless there. Were they t

That's disappointing. I was in awe on how much better an alternative modded app was, when compared to the official one from Google, which supposedly has the "best" developers working on it.

To be fair, they don't regret a thing. They still have shrines to honour war criminals, and continuously downplay what they did.

I suggest signing up for subscription services using virtual credit cards instead. There's a service called Privacy ( https://privacy.com/ ) that provides those. You can set up limits and expiration dates. I find it safe

What a wild story. Everybody is taking these amateur events way too seriously. Not just Meza, who went through all the trouble of doing that, and all for social media points. These Internet patrol guys also seem a bit pathetic, like Derek M
