Its the world we have made. We make a whole generation of people not care for privacy (FB), and then we are surprised when people assume their finances are not private? We are all collectively to blame for such privacy…
I dont know why people even defend MZ, with arguments like, "he was young" -- he still is young. "People grow and mature" -- yup not seeing it. "People change" -- also dont see it. In fact, the MZ of today is just as…
Who would use Venmo? When I see people buying drugs (see vicemo.com), I shake my head at the stupidity of it all. I have been asked multiple times by people who want to pay me, and I have flatted refused because of…
You have a responsibility to your users, be they EU or not. The fact you consider "they keep sending it to me" means that you are not considering the whole privacy issue. This data is not yours to do with as you please.…
Bitcoin.
I understand you are a student, and you really need a job, but working for an unethical company is not worth it, for your sanity and the world. You didn't study for years just to end up making the world a worse place.

I think this is a very short sighted prediction. You could have said this about bitcoin in 2010, and you would have been wrong then too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassandra_(metaphor) RMS is typically correct, even if at the time the industry thinks he is being melodramatic. Everything he said has come true. You either listen to his rants and…
This is a horrible horrible idea, and will end in tears. We need less active scripting in documents, not more. :-( Example: coinhive monero miner distributed in xls:…
One time fee? Apple don't pay for such things. Possibly why there is a black market for iOS exploits.
energy into money. We always wanted a universal energy based currency -- it is bitcoin.
This should be renamed. Garbage ETH tokens are not cryptocurrency they are 'shittokens'. This is 'Create your own (crap)token in 3 mins'. Not that its actually this hard -- copy paste ERC20 (and use a better version…
This attitude is so completely negligent I dont even know where to start. Its dangerously misinformed. ('i never caught a virus, why bother'). AV catches the low hanging fruit. If you do not have it, you will forever be…
You never want to actually lend your car to randoms -- as anyone who has ever driven a loaner car (fleet), these cars are ruined. People drive like maniacs -- its not their car! This is a sure way to get your car messed…
What a hellhole. Pray the CA authorities put a stop to this madness!
Renewables mate. Human usage of power need not have a negative effect on our environment. Global Warming and human use of electricity need not be linked as directly as they are today.

There is no illegal spying. There cannot by definition be illegal spying, as if you are caught, it is retroactively made legal. Go back to sleep.
Why did you found PredPol?
Lefteris Kalamaras is not to be trusted. His organisation knowingly distributed malware in a legitimate software installer provided by his company.
Unfortunately, the moment a company has distributed malware intentionally, they are totally written off. They will never be trustworthy to distribute software again. Never touch any program this company has released,…
No, dont run Tor over VPN. Its VPN over Tor. Tor provides anonymity, VPN provides privacy. You want anonymity between you and the VPN, and privacy between you and internet hosts. From the OpSec for xyz series:…
Or its hidden by RingCT -- confidential transactions (cannot see amounts transacted), and signed with a ring signature so you cannot determine the 'true' inputs and outputs. No reason that cryptocurrency needs to use…
Selling a large slice of the tokens to a small group of specific investors, such that they obtain a much larger price when these are listed. Because they were in so few holders from day0, and the 'auction' closed so…
