    Cameras off in Zoom meetings

    Weird argument... Seriously, switching on or not your video on zoom calls elicits that level of anxiety?! Maybe this is all too much for you to handle... How about, meetings are a general waste of time, Zoom meetings are at least as wasteful and people working from home, mostly in t-shirts and...

    How a 27-Year-Old Codebreaker Busted the Myth of Bitcoin’s Anonymity

    Glad we can agree to disagree and also agree that America has been devolving into a shit show for close to a decade and isn't about to snap out of this anytime soon. You're making my point with your examples... On one hand your talking microcosmes, like my point about rural living, and on the...

    How a 27-Year-Old Codebreaker Busted the Myth of Bitcoin’s Anonymity

    I don't believe for one second in the sovereign individual; it's the anarchist fable reply to proletarian dictatorship or pure capitalist supply and demand, all pipe dreams thought out by young intellectuals with too much time on their hands and no desire to work. The basic issue with anarchism...

    How a 27-Year-Old Codebreaker Busted the Myth of Bitcoin’s Anonymity

    Wikipedia has a long and detailed definition of Libertarianism. As far as I'm concerned, it's anarchism, where extremes on the right and the left meet and realize they are more alike than different. It's an idealistic notion that humans need no government oversight, that fundamental freedom is...

    Trying to run it as administrator but the app is stuck on loading "installing updates" regardless. Updated: I did a Windows update, deleted the old TOS files and download the app again. After about 15 mn it loaded properly! Thank you for your help Vanzandt :thumbsup:

    How a 27-Year-Old Codebreaker Busted the Myth of Bitcoin’s Anonymity

    I know you are. So you should be crying that BTC is traceable end to end and traded on financial markets with full government oversight. I guess making money is making you soft.

    TOS disappears

    Very strange.... Loaded TOS as usual from the icon on the desktop and... Nothing. Tried again, tried restart but... Still nothing. The app has literally disappeared and all is left are the associated files relating to the account. I had to download the desktop app again! The logo color is a...

    Australia’s property boom making the nation poorer

    If they rent their property, they make income which affects their gov pension... It's a ridiculous system. In the US, social security is based on years worked, contributions made to the system. Everyone who contributes gets it, rich or poor.

    Musk blackmailing Tesla's board

    I think you revel in taking time frames that suit your narrative. The X story is just in its infancy, far too early to call it a failure. Did Musk pay too much for it? Sure, in the short term it looks like a disaster. But 10 years from now, when X offers a payment system, a WhatsApp like...
