Why is society ok with guilty till proven innocent codified in law when it’s regarding taxes.
Why does the tax thugs get a pass on basic human rights?
You know how in the movies people live in abandon warehouses with a big padlock on the door and it has all their crazy tech inside with like 20 monitors... where did this idea originate?

I was recently speaking with a friend whose company buys data from Google for targeted marketing. He complained about the work they had to do to 'match up' the anonymized data to real people. I explained how I degoogled which was a new concept to him. He then said the famous words, "I have nothing to hide." It baffles me how he de-anonymizes personal data and doesn't understand the problem. It seems to be some kind of cognitive dissonance for marketing people?

Do you spend any time on learning HOW to learn?
Well along in my life and I've only recently realized the importance of hand writing things down.
My old physics teacher used to harp on it all the time and unfortunately I didn't take it that seriously.
How do we make social media platforms for introverts and privacy minded people without also opening the doors to trolls?
How many of you would have a podcast (or something similar) if you could remain anonymous?
Be honest with your inner dialogue. The only other entity listening is your subconscious - and it's imperative that it know what you want.

💌 I like email. There is no expectation that it is answered quickly, so I can check it once a day, and only on workdays. It's good both for short answers and long-form discussions, with one person or many. It's federated and at least partially decentralised. There's a client serving all kinds of needs, from phones to the command line.

I finished my exam in 20 min.
We were allotted 90 min.
I got an 88%.
Given I was certain of all my answers, I believe I'm getting a good return per time/effort.
Also considering time is all I have.
On to less diminishing returns!

The simple equation to understand the most valuable commodity in the world:
Knowledge = Power
Data = Knowledge
Therefore
Data = Power
Stop leaving things up to chance - prepare for the day it happens.

@woozle McAfee was never meant to be uninstalled. Just install Norton and see which one survives the ensuing resource war.
