If the data is also local, which it can be and in many cases should be, there’s no network request round trip.

Why would you post your party pictures under the same name you apply for a job, and to everyone on the internet? Maybe those two should be separate?

Probably should but in practice won't be for most people. The people who have party pictures that are wild enough to be a problem are probably even less likely to evaluate the probable threat landscape for the next decade or two before posting. It's nice to be able to easily fix things like that after the fact, at least in most cases.

What I meant was that maybe we should discourage everyone to be “one person” online and rather encourage using multiple different identities and especially not posting party pics (or anything personal) under real names.

Maybe we shouldn’t use real names at all on the web.

No it wouldn’t.

This is beautiful!

I wanted to talk with the other kids, I wanted to go over that hill. I wanted to feel the end of the day and the sunset. I feel the sea is somewhere near.

It does work at night, for about 4-6 months if you’re far enough North.

That’s just not true. Solar makes sense even in the far North, North of the arctic circle. I ran the numbers and deployed, it’s been profitable since day 1.

Quite the opposite. When sharks smell blood, there’s a feast. Or as investors would say, when things are down, there’s a good deal to be made.

None of what you said is true.

That’s just all FUD.

You may not remember 2008, but banks are absolutely, massively, a systematic risk to everyone, everywhere.

And nobody lost their deposits!

Bank regulations have completely changed since then, so if anything we'll get new problems.
