There's no reason to believe that commercial entities would be any less likely to spy on you than a government entity. The government can just pass security regulations that require access to infrastructure with gag orders in place so

Dunbar's number is 150, which seems about right for the number of people to be involved for the group to end up devolving into two macro communities. The micro-communities still hover round the 2 to 5 mark where everyone gets to feel l

The more realistic explanation is that the toolbar takes up space and every pixel has value on smaller screens. Moving the toolbar out of the way when the user is not likely to be using tools makes sense when understanding the web from the

The obvious chain of events is payments not being processed, Thiel gets on the blower, receives inside information which causes him concern, removes his money while he still can. To me as a low information armchair expert it seems bizarre t

You say “trailer parks” I say “affordable housing”. Affordable housing solutions like dorms and bedsit apartment blocks aren’t feasible in many places like the USA where it’s literally illegal to build anything other than high rise apartmen
