I love the minimalism of the site! Something you don't see often anymore.

I'm way too straight-forward of a person in a sense that I rarely keep anything I'm thinking to myself, to a fault. But that also means I'm not afraid to be rejected and people can always expect honesty from me. Charisma goes along way with people like me, because without it, we're just assholes.

Yea but we don't put them in a building full of other violent offenders to rehabilitate them. We do that to get rid of them with zero care for whatever they will do once they serve their sentence because, yet again, we can get rid of them and whatever damage they do while they are outside of the prison is considered unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

Siderant: I find it funny how humans work. On a very personal level, we love each other (you <> your parents or significant other), but the further the connection goes to other people the less we care. Whereas if we cared about everyone in a very loving way, we would probably not get rid of people we don't like.

Holy crap. This blew my mind. I haven't heard or read a story this good in ages.

I think it's like that in most of Europe. It is at least in Estonia.

Yes it is, but lots of companies have upgraded to 10. Of all the offices I visit I see Edge open a lot. Chrome of course is the most popular, but I'm happy the awful web rendering engine that is IE is soon gone.

So, birds that can't fly very far, are very high. Interesting.

As a web developer, this is not true. An large number of clients I've worked with have used IE and thanks to Win 10 shipping with Edge (which in itself is a decent browser) I've noticed a huge decline in "but it looks odd in my browser" comments from clients. So while I don't like Windows, or Microsoft in general, I do like the push to get rid of legacy stuff by them.

I know this must be a stupid question to ask, but why does a document writing tool need security updates? Can someone hack in and write documents on your behalf?

Science fiction thriller with a bad ending.

On the company, sure. On the website, no. I didn't delete my Facebook account because I hate the company or something, I just simply didn't use it much anymore.

Messenger Lite which requires the bloated FB account. Ironic.

Ah, did not know that. All tho' I do bet Facebook will do everything they can do clickbait you into making a Facebook account once you already have Messenger as well.

As my overall Facebook usage had naturally gone close to "check once per week" in 2017, and do even that because of habit, I decided to delete it entirely from my life as soon as 2018 came around. The only thing that I'm not 100% happy with is that without Facebook you also don't have Messenger, which was the main thing I used to communicate with people. However, I still use Instagram to share Stories and photos and, luckily enough, it has a chat built in as well which works wonders.

Serious question: are there any ICOs that aren't scams? Or are there any ICOs that have raised money for something and have actually delivered that something? Seems like everyone from children to grandmas are doing ICOs these days and I've yet to hear about anything that _wasn't_ a scam.
