I don't understand the reason for your sarcasm. In your original reply, were you not asking for an anonymous way to obtain Bitcoin, so that one could then use it to buy books? My r…

What do you mean? As I mentioned, the reverse is just as easy. You give then cash, they give you USDT or BTC. Now you can buy all the ebooks you want with anonymous crypto.

There are plenty of anonymous (even decentralized) P2P market places for trading crypto for cash, bank transfers, or other agreed upon forms of payment. I have over 2x my fiat savi…

It's really not. Growing up, I had plenty of classmates who spent more than that on superficial car modifications while working a minimum wage job and whose family was on food stam…

It's not ridiculous. You need to consider the numbers involved. If one extra person breaks his leg because he didn't look and see the quiet car before crossing the street, that's a…

Sure, but to achieve equal remineralization, you'll likely end up ingesting orders of magnitude more fluoride when delivered via drinking water vs toothpaste.

Do you review what you've written at a later date or is the value gained just in the initial writing?

What I don't understand is how they keep most freelancers on the platform after finding a client. I've only used it once, but after having a call with the client, I felt comfortabl…

Except you can no longer back up your private key, so you must trust a 3rd party to restore access when you lose the only allowed copy.

So can I set up a self-hosted solution? I don't want to trust a 3rd party to be able to restore access to accounts after losing my phone. I've lost several Google and Yandex accoun…

I could be wrong, but I believe they were using a modified chroot with some preload libraries to intercept missing kernel calls.

You just listed a bunch scary sounding financial buzz words, but I doubt that a thorough analysis of them would support your conclusion. In fact, many have the opposite effect and …

Is there anything stopping it from migrating down to the southern coast of Australia?

Is it important to you that your speech is tied to your physical identity? Now that most communication takes place online, it seems the obvious solution is to say anything controve…

I imagine they're trying to prevent the reverse, purchasing a cheap subscription in a developing country to use when you actually live in a more expensive country.

Probably not. There are terminals with surprisingly high latency, even on modern hardware. See here for examples of ~100 ms of local latency: https://www.lkhrs.com/blog/2022/07/ter…

Is there really a legal responsibility placed on an individual selling BTC for cash to verify the source of funds? I assumed that wouldn't be necessary if not operating like a busi…

It depends what you value most. If you don't mind corruption, then in a lot of developing countries like SE Asia, you can have a huge amount of personal freedom by paying the (rela…

It you live in a big city, it's easy enough to find someone to meet in person and exchange crypto for $1-10k cash a few % below the market rate. Some will even pay above market rat…

I don't want government agencies involved in dictating the minutia of acceptable UI design for a private website. Businesses have brand reputations. Just let people vote with their…

Why? Isn't most ethical behavior driven by self-interest? We want to follow general principles that promote respecting those who are similar to us in the hope that others follow th…

I'm not sure to what you're referring by "your own token", but most do offer a range of popular tokens by using one of the 3rd party payment providers like Coingate. I had paid for…

Servers and domains are one of the easiest things to buy with crypto. I actually just migrated away from Hetzner last week (for unrelated reasons) to two new providers to whom I'm …

Is most of that brake dust or from tire wear?

The data plans in most developing countries are actually quite good. For example, the best overall plan I've used anywhere in the world is in Thailand. You can get unlimited 10Mbit…
