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 requ…

The poet? Murti-bing pills?

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, sc…

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 mo…

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 breac…

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. I…

“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 engagem…

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…

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 …

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 en…

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 q…

“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 yo…

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 we…

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 “pe…

Should isn’t must.

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 unlo…

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…

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 bas…

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