Tell her to be sure there is a distinguishable "unsubscribe" link in letters.

Is it normal that GMail marks email with a link to this thread "suspicious" and asks me if I'm sure I'm not getting scammed here?

Do you have anything to support your claim?

Nah, that's just employee of Organic™ industry hopped on a train and added some lame ads to the topic.

But in reality the faster people realize that genetically modified products are more nutritious and less harming to nature, the better are our chances of survival.

But the truth is that it really will.

When electricity is generated by burning fossil fuel or garbage, waste heat is fed to centralized heating systems. In this way efficiency of over 90% is achieved. Probably it's time for the next stage of this idea: electricity should be immediately fed to mining facility, which preheats water that goes to the furnace. In the end all computers are just hi-tech heaters.

Bitcoin market is overall a very new market. If you do analysis, it looks a lot like fiat market at the time when there was no computers. There is a flat simple reason. Most of the cryptocurrency market just doesn't have enough education in finance. Not even enough to know what is "bulls and bears", and why putting attention on major news source to things like "bitcoin has terrific environmental impact", "bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme" and "the rapid increase of exchange rate is due to some scheme with Tether that we won't properly explain to you" is a hugely profitable thing.

That's the second good reason to ban dollar, isn't it?

Let's look at previous May. So you're sure the reason of the "bitcoin is a fraud" surge is x5 increase in hash rate, and not x10 increase in exchange rate? Look, it got twice as efficient in half a year, and yet they go with their hypocrisy on bad environmental impact!

Dollars require infrastructure too. Thousands of banks and other institutions are required to operate it. They have offices (that take energy) and employees (that take energy and also have households that take energy). Most of that energy comes from fossil fuel. I'm pretty sure operation of dollar costs much more than operation of Bitcoin. Let's ban dollar.

High price of bitcoin resulted in surge of "bitcoin is a fraud" kind of articles to HN. Who wants to play bears on Bitcoin market that much?

Well, we don't know. It might go wrong in many ways, and it's only up to ISPs to figure out how much pressure they can put on users and business. As a rule of thumb I'd expect business to suffer less, because they're more likely to go in court and win, and thus more dangerous.

Fiddler can install Root CA certificate and use it to sign fake certificates for websites to MitM on HTTPS. If someone knows how to do that in Wireshark, please, tell me.
