This is an absurd fantasy. If you take psychedelics and go outside, no one is going to arrest you. Consumption of drugs, in most western nations, isn't a crime. Stop spreading this sort of asinine fear.

With all the great encryption utilities like age[0], Signal, or Veracrypt, can anyone please tell me what the point is in using pgp anymore? It's old, it's clunky, it requires careful use to be safe. Why not use something more mod

This article has absolutely no substance in it. Nor is "cryptocurrency traded at $60k" - that's literally only Bitcoin, and today that is roughly cut in half!

Are you really coming on HN to try and blame immigrants for this? Do you know the kind of contributions immigrants have had in this industry? Do you know how important open immigration has been to the rise of tech?

TikTok's moderation team is pretty on point. Far better than any social network I've ever used before. I don't think the commenters who say they only get weird or bad content actually know how TikTok works, or how to use it.

Additionally, we can also detect deep double-spends very easily! When a double-spend occurs, usually it's from a deep chain reorg. This is what people usually refer to as a double-spend attack, not the kind of reorg where it only affec

Isn't the open internet great? I can register a domain to use for my own purposes so I can also have a voice.

This lacks a clear threat model and even overstates many problems it claims to resolve (e.g. vulnerabilities in Signal, et al). I'm not very certain what value this adds to the landscape. Is it possible the developers can elaborate her

You could begin with the Anarcho-primitivist philosopher John Zerzan. However, heed my comment above: a lot of the followers use this philosophy to justify horribly fascistic ideals. Take a peek at the alternatives to this such as post-civi

But don't take Anarcho-primitivism seriously. A lot of the "thought leaders" on that side of the Anarchist spectrum just use it as a means to espouse what would normally just be considered Fascism except with an Anarchist twi
