If you need to buy Sudafed in a pharmacy you need a drivers license, and I believe they record the information somehow. Presumably online alcohol or marijuana sales would also require some retained evidence that a dl was presented. Maybe ca

We do? People can go into any neighborhood they want. They can’t break laws, but the law allows them to walk around and look for open windows, knock on front doors, take photos, scan WiFi bssid, note cars and license plate info, etc… The cr

To me, Facebooks’ entire business model seems like spyware and selling personal info to third parties. Whether people at such companies are good or bad is not at issue. I assume most people everywhere are good people. But are the companies

Microsoft just compromised the National Nuclear Security Administration last week. Facebook was breached what last month? Google is an ad company. They can’t sell data that’s breached. They basically do email, and with phishing at epidemic

It’s not a given that “web page” has any particular meaning to people who don’t own a computer or laptop. Even people with only a cell phone, many don’t browse the web on mobile. Is the google sign in screen that pops up on a google tv a we

“otherwise they’ve been good.” I wouldn’t think that’s a very common opinion. They like most other news outlets are circling the drain and using clickbait and nbc/fox style engagement news-tainment as life support.

Got to fight fire with fire. Only way to beat a sociopath is by being a bigger sociopath. Yet, I try to go a different way myself. I choose vulnerability over taking on sociopathic behavior. I’ll probably never become wealthy this way, but

Tents are safer and better in a bunch of different ways. Imagine if the tents had electrical systems like motorhomes do. Fire, environmental damage, crime, public costs, all favor cheap, safe disposable tents over motorhomes. The answer isn

There have been reports from Israeli soldiers about surplus killing of citizens which you can find on YouTube. It’s unlikely these people are lying, but their reports may not be entirely representative of the war effort either. I think we n

I felt moral outrage after October 7th, but my moral outrage only served to give Israel a bit more justification for actions which are increasingly and ultimately turning out in a way that provokes similar outrage. Outrage begets outrage, b

How about the fact that Elon and most of his cronies weren’t even born here and seem to feel that the people who were born here are stupid and/or lazy. Maybe only Vivek said that quiet part out loud, but they very much agreed on the so

“subscriptions like Apple News” They will eventually start pushing ads. Just like Netflix, Amazon prime, etc… Paying a subscription to prevent ads is like paying a ransom: maybe you get lucky and they don’t come back for more in the future.

I’ve heard you can cut intake by a third if you switch from chicken breast to fish. Not cheap but you can get frozen tilapia cheap and tuna is safe if limited to once or twice a week. Part of the problem with whey is processing and potentia

But if everyone used that, wouldn’t it just encourage websites to get even more sleazy with those infernal cookie menus because instead of a human being forced to click through “performance cookies” vs. “cookies for ad targeting” vs. “cooki

It’s a choice I make all the time. I disabled it on one of my computers just last night. I’ll probably turn it back on today. It’s easy to toggle.

Freedom vs safety should be contextual. I’m not free if I don’t have choices and secure boot is a choice. Having it improves both my freedom and security somewhat. I want both unlocked and locked hardware, for different purposes.

A variation can be the scammer presents a fake number for you to call, via email, sms or worse through malicious ads that pop up when you google for the company phone number. Or, a phishing proxy like evilginx could overlay a “call [fake nu

The scammer calls the bank rather than trying to login. When calling, they will be asked to verify with info and the code which they will get from you. Think mitm but telephone based. The verification info (maybe just a zip code or last 4 o

Stock price delta over the past five years is a good metric since the market is efficient and traders themselves use all available information.
