From an interview with the founder of Wordpress - "NVC - non violent communication". I didn't find a "best" book to describe the basically simple process though.

As far as problem solving specifically I enjoyed taking the CFA exams. Particularly L1 was good for looking a Financial problems.

yeah best way is to create a new gmail account for every phone. Or a phone only email which has the associated photos.

Other option is a yubikey

Couple of questions:

1) Did you pay everything up front or was it a 50% up front and 50% on delivery basis? 2) Did you manage any deliverables on a google sheet (dates, owner etc) or something similar?

There was an MIT Phd student thesis I read 20 years ago that electric bikes (escooters) are the future transport for Taiwan.

Roll the clock ahead and ebikes (at least here in Paris) are taking over. Dedicated lanes, government subsidies, government lending system plus private systems (2 or 3) have pushed it into main stream.

I would love to use it more but:

1) Has there ever been a full security audit?

2) if not and I run it inside a VPN (wireguard) doesn't that remove most of the benefits?

hard to pay for a apartment in paris in land or olives in Argentina - but I can use bitcoin.

Meanwhile it is almost impossible to send out Argentine money without government approval. This is the case for most non OECD countries....
