   Fair enough, I am not familiar with this quote. I much prefer the less provacative title, but interesting read nonetheless.

   I think a lot of these are agreeable, even some of your prophecies seem reasonable. I wonder why you titled it "Things that are true", however, and don't have a single source to any of your claims. Especially when a lot of th

   Wow, thanks! I'm cured! Who knew all I needed to do was "let go". I never would've thought. Despression, suffering, whatever. Just let go! What a grossly oversimplified view of mental health. What happens, often, is that

   YMMV, but after a substantially embarassing night (that I found out about the following day) I realized that the feeling of wondering if I did something embarassing (or, horror of finding out that I did) was quite a bit worse than the good

   I read the first three paragraphs, and was immediately reminded that this is a medium article. Why is it okay, when promoting one gender, to pingeonhole the other gender? Could the point not have been made without saying all guys are sexist

   When I was first starting out in the tech industry, I was lucky enough to get hired in a sys-admin-like job for a small (<25 people) company without a degree. I'm not talking about securing Ft. Knox or dealing with critical infrastr

   I mean, trust your council over some random guy on the internet (me), but I would seek a second opinion on this from a technilogically savvy lawyer. There are absolutely implementations available that will allow you to have a hash, not tied

   Correct, to a certain degree. Specific things that require data and/or cookies to function (e.g. providing a shipping address so that your package can arrive) are exempted, obviously. But everything else is supposed to work, regardless

    Couldn't agree with you more. Just another Medium post, presented as factual news, steadily leading me to just... Never read posts from Medium.

    Is it me that's in the wrong? No! It must be everyone else! I find it hard to believe that Mozilla, Google, StartEngine, PayPal, Stripe, Square, CashApp, Coinbase and BitPay, Azure, Joyent, GoDaddy, and Apple are all in having secret m

    Perfect timing for me, as I just switched from LastPass to 1Password and couldn't be happier. LastPass has seemingly taken a bit of a fall lately, both user experience wise (this sure doesn't help) as well as the article earlier t

    Would be awesome to have a bit more context. Are we talking about the decision to paint your kitchen a different color or whether you should spend a few million bucks on bitcoin?

    Unvetted, user-submitted articles and presenting them as if they are valid news is my biggest gripe.

    If I have to send it this way, any out-of-band communication is generally fine with me although I do prefer phone (out-of-band verification and no transmission over net). Assuming your no side-channel requirement means no phone call availab

    Although I agree with some of this article, I find the closing paragraphs frustrating. How can they go from "Twitter's boss [...], Facebook is working on some kind of crypto [...]. Market analysts and pundits provide cheery reassu

    If Article 13 kills YouTube, thats a feature? Okay.... I'd love an explanation. I'm sure millions of other creators who got started on YouTube, and all of the websites/jobs/consumers of YouTube would also love a bit more

    I didn't, because the link just says "this has moved". However, "discredit" is way too strong of a word if those quotes are supposedly "discredting". - Dont require upload filters? How else are you suppose

    I mean, you can locally mute people in Discord too so I'm not quite sure why that is in the "pro" side for Mumble. However, I'll agree that Mumble is great if all your looking for is somewhat privacy-forward low-latency

    Whoever spun this into "modernised rules fit for a digital age" instead of "Rules you're unable to comply with" is a marketing genious.

    Are you paying a flat rate per conversion or a flex rate based on customer spending or some other metric? If its just a flat rate per conversion, this could be accomplished with minimal (if not no) PII collected from the customer.

    So, again this is just for myself as a consumer, it's all about approach. Ideally when I visit a site I'd like to see minimal tracking by default with an opt-in model. If a site tracks the bare minimum by default and unobtrusively
