why not zip the entire internet to 1MB so everyone can have a copy? because it is not possible - we don't know if it is possible. I mean we know it is impossible, but we don't know…

>No, you did something fake to avoid doing what you were asked to do. Yes, that is what plausible deniability is. >But there are very effective ways to find hidden encrypted volume…

It absolutely offers some legal protection. If it is implemented correctly, no legal framework for it is required. Government forces you to enter your password. You comply and ente…

Kind of that. I'm not USA based. In my country you can do it through gov. insurance which is a lot of bureaucracy that I can't handle. Will go through the private route (fast) and …

I'm a developer in my 40s considering getting diagnosed and medicated for (predominantly inattentive) ADHD for the first time. I've built a career around working with my brain rath…

Private court system? How does it work? Regular court system works because the government has the threat of violence, has the muscle and rights to hunt, capture and detain. if "pri…

You can create e-mail addresses for single use, even temporary ones.

Someone might think: surely seeing ads targeted for them instead of random ads must be useful / beneficial for the user!

I don't understand this. Copyright law does not prevent people from sharing their information freely. It gives the option for "rent seekers" to do their thing. Enforcing your right…

the point is, if your economic model cannot survive / adapt to the environment it is living in, is it viable? Cuba froze itself in time decades ago, is it just the embargoes? Why d…

your antivirus is arguably a malware itself. you don't need to give a 3rd party your entire internet browsing content to have a secure computer.

did you read the article? author says you get approval from Apple for your use case then it is kosher.

you're not the target. advertisements work. the people managing ads are very meticulous about their spend vs. return. if you are seeing an ad of something for any noticeable durati…

spent a lot of time trying to troubleshoot why vscode can't access extension marketplace as I just installed a new computer and am trying to bring in my profile but getting XHR err…

oh ok. is running things in server really necessary though? it sounds like an enormous cost even if you are mildly popular.

What is the limiting factor there? I don't understand. I assumed these programming languages were working in a browser (wrapped into wasm or some other VM) so everything was client…

how does being backed by something big in China makes it less scammy?

not eager to defend Sam as I think he is shady (maybe necessary for a successful CEO? don't know) but the Scarlett Johansson story was just speculation because she knew that she wa…

Trusthworthy has two meanings here. I trust that Apple does have no intention to look into my private data. I think they'd rather have no way of getting into it while providing the…

Yeah, my initial response was: this is wrong on so many levels, and I love that it is out there for public to see 100 art points.

It is not just about marketing though. There is this belief, especially among fledgling indies that if they make a game that they think is good, and if they are able to market it w…

unless I am very mistaken, that is the default behavior. youtube won't show any ads on the videos you post unless you put them there. so you need to be eligible for monetization (h…

just make a utility function! don't see what the fuss is about. the original API choice is arguably not great, but haphazardly adding multiple ways to do the same thing does not im…

macOS asks you to give permission for an application to read your clipboard. do other operating systems not have that?
