FWIW, I also have an Amex with YNAB and have not had any issues with it in the past year.

Another vote for YNAB. It is expensive, but for me it pays for itself in a month.

It can be as open-ended or as detailed as you like. And the tutorials / videos are worth watching, as well.

I don't think so. These people are at a company that may not exist anymore next week. It's right around the holidays. It's a horrible time to have uncertainty about employment. I would assume most of them would find it reassuring that there's an opportunity for a seamless transition. Just because there's an open offer doesn't mean they have to go.

And having a solid open offer from Microsoft makes it much easier and less stressful to quickly get a great offer from somewhere else.

Or they can go and simultaneously bid themselves or whole teams to Google and Facebook. The option cost is zero to do this.

This comparison doesn't seem up to snuff.

The government has the ability to prosecute crimes, and has a monopoly and the use of force. Private companies have neither.

One of the two is clearly more dangerous if they have the ability to control your speech.

This item appears with so much backing hype and attention. Yet I am not sure I have seen enough substance behind this yet.

Will be very interested to see reviews and more physical examples of this product.

ZCash is insecure by default. It is a honeypot for people who wish to use the default privacy settings of Monero.

> On June 8, 2020, Chainalysis added support for Zcash to their Chainalysis Reactor and "Know Your Transaction" (KYT) technologies.[22] This permits Chainalysis to trace and provide transaction values and at least the sender or receiver address for over 99% of Zcash activity.[22] Chainalysis explains that it is able to accomplish this since most Zcash users do not use privacy-enhancing features.

There have been some claims that Chainalysis has been able to make progress in de-anonymizing Monero. It’s hard to know what’s true. We’ve certainly seen where false information is used to steer people in certain directions. E.g. “Monero isn’t anonymous, so don’t use it.” When it reality it is anonymous, which is the real reason they don’t want you to use it.

Bitcoin was never anonymous. It just took an incredible amount of effort to follow the transactions, along with subpoenas to exchanges, that even the shady exchanges gave into. Chainalysis are credited with bringing down the biggest criminals that tried to hide behind Bitcoin. Who knows if they have also cracked Monero, because there was a short while where people thought Bitcoin was safe before it was known that Chainalysis was already at their door.

I found this the other day as well. It actually only applies for certain browsers. I think they are doing the redirect via user-agent.

Orion Browser (by Kagi) can still access i.reddit.com.

This is the only way I will use mobile reddit. I don't need an app for something that can be a simple, clean web page.

I use the Magnet.app extension, which supports basic tiling commands on MacOS.

It would be a sad day if we are judging our laws by China's. We have different structures and values.

Thanks for reading and for sharing your experience. Much appreciated.

I'm not trying to spread propaganda. I'm doing my best to make sense of the different narratives being told by different parties. It's all we can do in these crazy times.

You have many good points. This article was not comprehensive and could have dug deeper into many reasons. I'll respond to one bit:

>To say that pro-western and anti-Russia attitude in Ukraine was fabricated by the West is a bit of a stretch, to say the least.

I never used the word 'fabricated', and I don't think I said anything that robust. I said "funded", which is different. Ukraine is a large country, and there are plenty of different political opinions and movements to pick from when supplying funding.
