It is most likely not them but they proxie for the US. Under another administration they would use an NGO to advance the agenda. The goal is to facescan the world.

It also requires some ideological bubble where people care too much what other people know and think. Otherwise someone would never bother that kind of an educational talk with a stranger.

Did not the EFF have a long time ago a fingerprint analysis that showed how unique a user profile is.

Went down that rabbit hole of training crows to do things. Crows are such amazingly intelligent creatures. There is a whole scene of people teaching and training wild crows silly things.

Would be interesting what similar companies are (in parts) most likely agency fronts.

My guess would be quite a few in the soft privacy selling business, such as VPN or email providers.

This is so weird. But I love watching it. Crazy the level of intimacy he can sometimes achieve sometimes with made up ideas.

I would be interested in this too. Also from my laymen understanding it should be not that hard to develop filters for at least larger particles. Or is that too simple thought out?

I trust any bar more about privacy than anyone on the internet. Their incentive to maximize consent to stalk me and my behavior is close to non-existing.

Same situation with Ferraris. If only they would hire more people, cut some corners and get a bigger factory, I could afford one!

I would put logging as a bottom tier feature for most chats. The characteristic of chats is in the moment and not some archival function. I am a heavy discord and telegram user but overall I would value the benefit of everything getting deleted after 72hours higher than the few times I actually search for something older than that.

You assume that complying with social norms attracts the most brilliant/informed people.

Problem is minimal viable expectations and how fast these ar filled. In 90% of Reddit you will get flamed for offering money for anything. Wouldn‘t even touch my mind to go there.

Surprisingly clear and balanced for a 4chan post. Would have expected a lot more detailed discussion.

You have to take another moral compass that reflects the personal reality. For example someone can be super supportive and volunteer to help immigrants. But on the other hand support hardcore anti-immigrant regulation.

Why? Because he realises that people are selfish and he would act in the immigrants situation the same opportunistic way thus feels sympathy. But at the same way sees opportunistic immigration is a mayor problem for society thus supports hard regulation.

That way leads to situations where you are personal friends with people that you on a systemic level attack, without having a true moral conflict.

For me his behaviour makes sense. I act in similar ways, as it shows that the person has higher moral standards than he can fulfil himself. He knows that his lifestyle is not according to his ideals, but to compensate this he funds initiatives that support those. Its basically carbon trading morality. And just because you can't live up to your own moral standards does not mean you see the point that these should be changed.

That is the case with every market that is not (yet) fully governmental regulated. Full of scams, dirt and some people who are able to navigate these waters to get incredibly rich.

I think they always were out of conventional fiat markets. Its just that big corps try to get a slice of the market (and so far mostly fail at it).

Why do things have to solve problems? Are you going to an art collector and asking them the same questions?
