+1 But please be mindful to which charities you give you money to and do a bit of research.

There was a website which I cannot remember now that monitored how much of the donated money converted into actual help and was not used for salaries and events.

This finding talks volume about two facts:

1) Competition, even among smart money investors, works 2) The implicit value of, as user sethbannon stated, "getting a known and trusted person on the board"

Pseudo and psuedo are derived from the greek work ψεμα psema, which literally means lie. It's synonym is 'untrue' which indicates that your term is the right term to use when anonymizing-but-not-really-anonymizing

I was very excited about this project when I was a teenager - another was a "simple" dam just at Marmara/Black sea / Istanbul.

However, as any adult can see the financial impact vastly supersedes the potential benefits.

Besides the obvious impact to the local seaside communities in Southern Europe, you would have to deal with unstable regimes in northern Africa and Turkey and the geopolitical side of things. Wars have been fought for much less important things than land and resources.

Moreover the ecological effects would be impossible to calculate. There are other seemingly less important issues such as immigration.

So, in all, ok - the central planning from a German scientist does get some creativity points, but we are not in Mars, trying to terraform it; we are in a heavily populated part of Earth which has civilisations at its shores for the last 4000 years.

So if I use a VPN plus Mozilla with this setting switched on I should be good to go?

Are there any actual guides on protecting your privacy online and eliminating filters? Preventing tracking and fingerprinting is already feasible with a combination of ublock origin and noscript for mozilla.

Also, what about linux?

I had a similar issue not long ago. I went in and really changed it into a massive 50 character pw.

My spotify account was hijacked in 2017 and managed to get it back - someone from Tunisia - he had the audacity to start creating playlists full of autotune rappers. I wouldn't mind sharing but man his taste in music was awful.

It's a great idea and I wish I'd known last Christmas when I had to print and post 5-6 photos to 5 recipients with a total cost of ~£100. My hustle also costs something but it's not priced in.

Only one question if I may. How can I know for sure you delete the photos? Is the business GDPR compliant? If I am based in the EU, do my photos need to go to server in the US? I'd prefer if they didn't have my young daughter's pics...

It was September 2012 when a friend of mine and I pledged some money. I was backer number ~ 2000. My friend jokingly said "We will have children by the time it comes out". Guess what.

They could have avoided the expensive actors, changing engine half-way, and they still should come out and say - we promised 1000 things. We can do 50 to get the ball rolling and we will do the following 950 in due time.

I really do hope that they put together at least the single player. We've spent money on the same sport simulators since '97. What's $50-$60?

I am rooting for them.
