You can configure it to do anything including scan your social media for signs of life, cURL your own servers, and send out text/emails with attachments. Uses client side encryption if desired, or just give us your own self encrypted files.

>As noted above, many of the federal criminal statutes associated with the type of stolen data that tends to be sold in Dark Markets—e.g., passwords, account numbers, and other personally identifiable information—only apply if there is intent to further another crime: for instance, an intent to use the information to defraud.33 For this reason, a purchaser of the stolen data who lacks a criminal motive is unlikely to face prosecution under those statutes.

Which part is unclear?

Stripe for credit cards, run own nodes for cryptocurrency because customer privacy is important in certain scenarios for me.

> * Harder to read/understand, especially street names. A lot of the time I have to zoom in 100% and scroll up and down a street to see what the name of the street I'm looking at is.

This one is hugely aggravating, but there's another one that annoys me more. Try searching for "food" or "restaurants" at an intersection with 10-20+ options, Google will completely hide plenty of results. Just show me where I can eat at nearby...

> I hate it when I am reading a news article and a video autoplays.

Not only that, but the video follows you around while you scroll and most of the time you can't get it off your screen.

> I believe Canada has something like 20% tax on the profits you get out of cryptocurrencies for the year, which I think is a much simpler system that makes much more sense.

This is wrong. Canada is taxed very similarly to USA meaning if it's an investment it may be capital gains and if it's a business then it's income.

A service I'm building has this option. Puts protection against SIM/email jacking or social engineering into the hands of the customer if they feel capable.

They tried the "child porn" route up here in Canada and failed. I just posted about it before I saw this response https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20308373

A Canadian prosecutor tried to force someone this year to provide a password to decrypt the contents of their cell phone via the court system. She failed [0].

Sometimes I forget how small European countries are.

Are they going to give you advanced notice of these bank box inspections? There's no way anyone would remove property to avoid a tax of course.

Not a job, but I signed up for a gym membership recently and the sales employee asked me to digitally sign the contract (displayed on screen) using an electronic signature pad.

Naturally I asked him to print out a copy so I could read it before signing. While I was reading the document, to make some small-talk I asked him how many people in the years he'd been there have actually read the contract they signed. His answer? 0. I was the first.

I thought iCloud contents were all encrypted?

  No one else, not even Apple, can access end-to-end encrypted information [1]
