I would argue that we're noticing mental health problems because in most cases survival is not an issue in modern society. This is not to claim mental health problems didn't exist prior but there was an interesting podcast about suicide and how it affects people more from good backgrounds that don't have the level of success that their peers have.
I assumed you were wrong that wealthier people would be more at risk for committing suicide, because this sounds like an interesting but believable bit of folklore trivia, but this study suggests you are right.
I've been on the other side. When your VPN transaction fraud rate is much higher than your non-VPN transaction fraud rate and the volume is lower it's a no-brainer to react negatively to a VPN.
This is a violation of the regulator guidance for the ePrivacy Directive. So I wouldn't trust anything on this site when they themselves aren't compliant with EU directives and regulations.
Not true. You don't have to consent to set a cookie. It depends on what the cookie does. Gdpr actually doesn't care about technicalities like cookies, but about privacy. So if you achieve the same tracking using other techniques (like Etag) that needs consent as well.
"SR 17's combination of narrow shoulders, dense traffic, sharp turns, blind curves, wandering fauna such as deer and mountain lions, and sudden changes in traffic speeds have led to a number of collisions and fatalities, leading to the reputation of SR 17 as one of the most dangerous highways in the state. In the winter months, because SR 17 crosses a high precipitation area in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the roadway can become slippery from rain, snow or ice, especially at the summit." [0]
UK and US both have private central banks. This is true for all G8 countries if I remember correctly.
Most income taxes collected in the US/UK go directly to these private organizations.
In many ways slavery in the US was 'abolished' in 1865 then a revised version (aka perpetual debt slavery) was adopted in 1913 at the tail end of the US-China opium trade induced economic boom and expanded by both parties in the decades that followed.
The us central bank was chartered as an independent entity because policy makers here felt that having the central bank be embedded in the ex3cutive tended to inevitably corrupt the central banks decisions and led to crashes and devaluations and various bad politically motivated outcomes.
A response completely bereft of any logical argument about why taxation is "theft and slavery". Do you have any arguments that would support this assertion?
I don't want to support foreign wars. I don't want to support foreign aid to countries that use it to conduct wars. I don't want to support incarceration. Yet, if I don't (e.g. pay taxes), I will be imprisoned, shot, etc.
it's a comment on a web forum, he doesn't have to reiterate the entire history of heterodox economics for you to be convinced its a defensible position. and anyway, it's quite besides the point since the economic argumentation is secondary to the observation that cypherpunks were an anti-taxation and anti-government - basically anarchist - subculture out of which crypto emerged.
Fun story time. I had a manager who used to work for Microsoft. Apparently he had to talk to a bunch of people before he could get Office to install properly when not running as Admin. This is pre-Vista release but it shows that even Microsoft didn't always write their software in way that was the best for their own OS.
