It is based on Chromium so it isn't much different.


It's very much different. Just like Chrome and Chromium are very much different.

Just because it's built on Chromium which means Blink, V8, etc. Doesn't mean that it brings all the baggage that Chrome does with Google's intrusive nature.


You know what they say about assuming things...


So money laundering never happened before digital goods existed?


Yeah, because I meant all money laundering and not just this specific laundering situation...


What could go wrong?


The HN audience is ripe for this kind of knowledge.


Um, probably because Twitter is a place where many people go to read stuff. The author probably likes it when people read their writing.


Putin is the president of Russia. Trump is the president of the United States.


Thanks for clearing that up. It's getting pretty hard to tell the difference.


I obviously don't know you, but based off that comment, I think you're missing the forest for the trees and I'd venture to guess that it's because you've never experienced something like DMT. There are definitely levels to certain lessons in life, like learning that "feeling sure" isn't enough to be certain of something. Sure, math class taught you that if something doesn't add up, it's not true. But I see that as an intro to that life lesson of "feeling sure" not being enough. A few levels up from that understanding, a lot of times, involves something like DMT giving you a metaphorical 50,000 ft view from where you can begin to understand that even those math problems might not be the end all, be all of truth.

We live in a world of gray areas, not black and white.


I think the point they were making was that regardless of how you feel emotionally about giving up specific information, it has no effect on whether a country allows you to enter. So go ahead and do only what you feel is "acceptable", just don't be surprised when you are turned away at the border for not filling out all of the required documents.


I've recently launched a project and don't know any successful entrepreneurs to talk to. If you'd like to dabble in coaching, please send me a message at thankeeww at gmail.


Ah, I see. According to you, the world needs laws on the books to keep dunces from harming themselves in all the different ways possible. Ythl, I don't mean to scare you, but did you know you can die from drinking too much water? And can you believe there aren't yet any laws preventing this?! Scary, right?

I kinda agree with you, but I think it's a bit harsh (and unpersuasive) to call him a dunce. Take a look at my post where I analyze his reaction a bit more charitably/emotionally.

It's not stupidity on his part at all, it's just fear. And it's understandable that there's fear, because look at the world we're in! Fear is generated constantly. It takes effort and a gentle intervention to snap people out of it and encourage them to grow and become responsible and let others live freely.


Touché. I figured since I didn't call ythl a dunce directly that I wasn't being overly harsh, but your comment is much more eloquent than mine and has effectively reminded me that one can attract more bees with honey than with vinegar.
