they don't even need to break encryption. Patriot Act.

1- tor is broken. 2- they know and use ways to get around encrypting. We got to give them some credit they knew encryption was an issue that at some point they had to dealt with. And they found ways to do just that from the beginning.
esMazer··on Stripe: Bitcoin
is it that different from buying bitcoins by meeting physically with someone and paying cash? or do you buy bitcoins from your personal computer? I guess no way will be truly anonymous

I think they were referring to the buyers view, where you are referring to the sellers

esMazer··on Presenting the Most Over-Engineered Blog Ever
this is a really cool idea, however I can see how some people would try to abuse the app playing pranks on other people and the like.. I don't have an iphone so I can't check if there are some ways that the users are verified (basically a test to see if they are really blind) seems extreme but this might be better to help grow a more 'healthy' community

esMazer··on Robinhood Raises $13M to Democratize Stock Market with Zero-Commission Trading
ohh I get it! Basically there's a market of third party companies and the broker has the liberty to choose to who give all its "traffic"/transactions, but the broker is choosing the company based on the fee it gets instead of other factors (which I'm sure there are many) in this case the choice might not be the best for the customers just to the broker.

Definitely nothing is free!

esMazer··on Robinhood Raises $13M to Democratize Stock Market with Zero-Commission Trading
I read the introduction of the wiki article, but I'm still at a lost.. the third party pays back the broker because it "wants to influence how the broker routes client orders" what? so if I were the broker I would deny or allow my customers transactions based on a third party?

I'm sure is not like this and the broker won't deny any transaction if I were the broker I would just get a commission on some transactions by third parties but I don't see what I could change in order to get a greater commission.

could you elaborate please, I'm at a lost.

esMazer··on At the Uber for home cleaning, workers pay a price for convenience
you could use Homejoy to find a good cleaner and then talk to them directly, they are a contractor and are free to make a contract with anyone they wish.
esMazer··on At the Uber for home cleaning, workers pay a price for convenience
Since you already now this person for more than a year, why keep using Homejoy? You could make a deal with her that benefits both parties (she'd get 100% of the profits and you'd pay less since Homejoy is not in the middle) - just curious how Homejoy manage to keep clients coming back to them.
esMazer··on Uber Drivers “Strike” and Switch to Lyft Over Fares and Conditions
~3-5 years is way too soon. The technology might be ready but the governments (think regulations, traffic laws, car insurance companies, car manufacturers, etc etc etc ) in addition to the public (which is not ready either). Is going to take at least 10+ years for it to resemble something like you imagine it.
esMazer··on Introducing free voice calls from Hangouts
data-only plans solve all issues, we don't need "talk" or "texts" to be included. Just carry around a "hotspot" (it get's hard when you have a family plan since it would be to expensive to buy multiple hotspots.

I don't know about any of the "sleep benefits" but as someone that works and enjoys being in front of computers 10+ hours a day, is great! As soon as I got it 3+ years ago my red-eye, eye-discomfort, dry-eye and strained-eye conditions disappeared! I can't use the computer without it (day or night)
