Honestly if you want real financial privacy, the best thing to use is {insert cryptocurrency that I'm heavily financially invested in}

There's not a lot of industries where the dominant player is such a lean company

It must be the former because I have the latter enabled and still see them

In this interview he claims he was simply paid to develop like a contractor and the people running the business still haven't faced consequences: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/136/

Disputing a CVE is no straightforward task either, as a GitHub security team member explained. It requires a project maintainer to chase the CVE Numbering Authorities (CNA) that had originally issued the CVE.

CNAs have conventionally comprised NIST's NVD and MITRE. Over the past few years, technology companies and security vendors joined the list and are also able to issue CVEs at will.

These seems like an issue worth addressing. If it's too easy to report and too difficult to dispute, I could see the CVE ecosystem be weaponized and turned into a political tool.

I played high-end games I couldn't otherwise play, often at a discount, and then they refunded me at the end anyway. Pretty sweet deal

Flagging things like that usually leads to their removal

If people didn't do this it would happen faster. Not everyone has the luxury of immediately switching, just like the "move to another state" argument

Tello has a no data, 100 minute, unlimited texts plan for $5/month

This is ugly

Software updates have, more than once, changed my settings for things like autopilot without warning, and I've only discovered it when driving and turning autopilot on.

I feel like this point can't be overstated enough. When I need to go somewhere, I shouldn't need to reorient myself because the car receives software updates all the time. A device that's constantly changing is inherently unreliable, even if technically it's improving over time.

I'm not sure what specifically you're referring to, but algorithms are, generally speaking, code. You can purchase a company and their code.

This needs more contributors FYI. There's a ton of issues and feature requests

because the expectation with screenshot software is that it doesn't add any metadata

I'm not sure where you got that idea but I assume the opposite. Many devices add metadata by default

I was under the impression they only show bands when the number of people with the same title is low

How will it be distributed?

I found this historical context particularly interesting.

And Ronald Reagan was somebody who did everything he could to curry the favor of evangelicals and white Catholics and the Moral Majority in the election against Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan delivered on some of those promises, but he ended up frustrating some of his religious right supporters. He didn't go all the way. Well, we arrived a decade or so later to George W. Bush. George W. Bush was a self-identified evangelical who had been saved by his faith in Jesus Christ. And he certainly did a lot to promote the interests of evangelicals and other conservative Christians in the country.

But George W. Bush - despite what he did in Iraq and Afghanistan, when he left office, it felt like the itch had not been scratched, that there was still something wrong with the country because even though we'd had an evangelical president for eight years, the country continued to be less religious, less Christian. It continued to get more pluralistic, more diverse, racially and ethnically. And then all of a sudden, it was Barack Obama. And Barack Obama was, like, made in a lab to scare white Christian nationalists. So Barack Obama is president, and then we get Obergefell, and gay marriage is legalized.

By the time Donald Trump arrives, this group of Christian nationalist voters, whether they be evangelical, whether they be conservative Catholics or Latter Day Saints, are in the mood not for somebody who simply identifies with them and their politics, someone like Ted Cruz or Mike Huckabee, they're in the mood for somebody who will act as the brutalizing barbarian needed to take the country back. If you want to colonize the Earth for God, it's not enough to have a testimony that says, Jesus saved me from my sins or from my alcoholism. What you need is a bully, somebody who will put in line all those folks that you think are ruining your country and causing it to descend into the pits of hell.

You don't just need somebody who's going to go to church on Sunday and talk a good talk. You need somebody who will destroy in order to rebuild. So Donald Trump, yeah, doesn't go to church a lot. Donald Trump, been married a couple times. But you know what he promises in ways that no one in our lifetimes has? He promises to punish those who have caused this country to go the wrong way. And so eight years later, we have a base that is more rabid to make him their barbarian king than ever before.

Yes
