In this context, we're talking about RFC 2298, which doesn't leak your IP address and is opt-in. It is completely unrelated to "remote content" settings.

It's not like only advertisers would benefit from read recipes in email. It would be very useful to know when your friend opens your message, which I assume is why basically every mainstream messaging app has the feature.

Since you don't sign in with an Apple ID how do you download apps? Or do you only use the stocks ones?

To the contrary, given that the deepfake cat is out of the bag, I would rather deepfakes become normalized such that people stop putting so much faith in video evidence.

Some sites (CNBC comes to mind) put summaries in the form of a bullet list at the top of most of their articles which I think is pretty cool.

You don't need to become an investment manager to invest in stocks and bonds any more than you need to become a bank manager to have a bank account. Just buy a mutual fund (preferably indexed) from somewhere like Vanguard and let them

I don't know if having a large army matters that much in a nuclear war. I think its more a matter of who has the best antimissile defenses. In the age of nuclear weapons having a large population might actually be a liability since you

Ironically some of the most profitable ads on the web (those that appear on search results pages) are almost completely contextual. So clearly targeting is not always necessary.

Actually that's an interesting idea I wonder if Impossible or Beyond meat have considered selling their stuff as dog food. I'm sure vegan dog owners would love that.

I don't really know how Clubhouse works. But why would radical liberals and conservatives ever want to talk with each other unless forced to? Seems from most other parts of the internet that people like to surround themselves with like

Just because someone is a great mathematician does not mean they would be a great cryptographer. Mathematics and cryptography are about as related as computer science and cryptography (not that much).

Would the SEC have even allowed them to issue shares? Hertz tried to issue new shares when their stock price was irrationally bid up but was blocked by the SEC. Its a little bit different because Hertz was going bankrupt but otherwise the s

Just because you're protected from the government doesn't mean that the mob won't get you. Take for example, the founder of Mozilla. Apparently a number of years ago he donated a thousand dollars to a political organization t

Yes, in practice you always have to rely on someone. Even before the internet you'd have to rely on the USPS to carry your letters. Unless you are physically speaking to someone in person, then there is always a middleman.

The secretary problem says that once you pass on a CV you cannot go back and latter decide you want that person. I don't think that is a restriction that exists in real life hiring. It is possible to review all the CVs and then decide

Gold has been in use for hundreds of years and yet it's still very volatile. If Bitcoin is digital gold that doesn't really solve the volatility problem.

One problem with email is that it lacks typing indicators, read receipt, and other niceties that people have become accustomed to. There can also be a bit of a delay between sending and receiving messages on different email providers.

At today's interest rates it seems like you're probably going to lose a lot of money to inflation. At the very least why not buy government bonds? Alternatively based on your posts it seems like maybe you would like investing in a
