on: Spotify will now suspend or terminate accounts it finds are using ad blockers
I would advocate for legal rights to use an adblocker! If we don’t, it’s going to be banned under CFAA in the future. Ads suck! Nobody has the right to force these on me!

What ongoing cost? This is absurd. It’s $0, the automation is free, and the config is free. Stop spreading FUD.

on: Genetic contribution to neuroticism associated with affluence, health, longevity
This seems intuitively correct. Neutrotisicm is associated with risk-averse behavior and thus less likely to engage in risky life-threatening activity. A highly neurotic personal can be paralyzed by enumeration of every conceivable outcome, and as such not ever do the dangerous thing. There seems to be a positive correlation of intelligence, so the individual may make long term conservative bets that further increase longevity.

on: Same day ACH: moving payments faster in the USA
Paypal doesn't serve many countries. Has high fees. Can arbitrarily lock you away from funds or freeze accounts. Censors Transactions. Banking law does not apply as they are a transmitter, not a bank. Many many reasons not to PayPal.

on: Bitcoin just passed $4,000
Because something is happening. Large trades from Korean exchanges are driving very high prices worldwide. It means people are fearful of the existing financial system and are pouring their savings into "cryptocurrency".

on: Quantum-secured blockchain
I agree that we need to implement postquantum computing algo's for both hashing (proof of work function) and signing (transaction authentication). I don't agree we should build a QKD network of p2p fiber to er this. SIDH is looking the most attractive for the postquantum signing, at least.

I own a Ubuntu phone, Aquaris E4.5, imported from Spain via a EU dropshipper. Wouldn't use it as my daily phone until it supported full disk encryption.
