The Tor tunnel will go through the VPN tunnel and terminate on your device, not at the VPN provider.

It's a thing, especially in developing countries. You often get xGB data with an additional xGB social media data.

You'd be surprised how many there are though. It's often quite easy to trace the seller using the Companies House website which now allows free company lookups. The companies are often held by a chain of UK based shell companies and agents ultimately leading to a random virtual office in Hong Kong.

It depends on the type of book. Tutorials are more like recipes from a recipe book, they help you achieve a specific outcome but don't necessarily teach the underlying reason or background information.

HSBC Hong Kong is actively promoting this. Just say "I will need your help with something" and you're in.

My Hotmail account from the 90s is still receiving emails

There's no legal protections. Anyone can apply to be on the PSL.

That's great until they get bored of running the service and you've now lost all of the aforementioned which are dependent on their domain.

The page explains that Japan is ranked highly "masculine" because of how competitive the society is.

> What you see is a severe competition between groups. From very young age at kindergartens, children learn to compete on sports day for their groups (traditionally red team against white team). In corporate Japan, you see that employees are most motivated when they are fighting in a winning team against their competitors. What you also see as an expression of Masculinity in Japan is the drive for excellence and perfection in their material production (monodukuri) and in material services (hotels and restaurants) and presentation (gift wrapping and food presentation) in every aspect of life. Notorious Japanese workaholism is another expression of their Masculinity. It is still hard for women to climb up the corporate ladders in Japan with their Masculine norm of hard and long working hours.

Most index funds are quite transparent about their constituent assets. The purpose of index investing is to capture the market as a whole which includes assets held by the few people who make their millions / billions and the many others who blow up their accounts going all in in single stocks.

So in other words, gambling. Some will win, many will lose.

It's the same after any accident. presumably lessons have been learned, procedures improved and people more vigilant.

AIs are not going to take your job (but may change the nature) for the forseeable future and a degree in Computer Science is still valuable. It's always valuable to diversify your skillset but in general it's highly likely that you will get more out of a CS degree than an HVAC qualification if that's what you're interested in.

If you use the Blockchain you still need to legislate such that whatever is on the chain is legally binding then create an agency to enforce it.

The final destination is unlikely China. Usually these phones are then transported to Chungking Mansions in Hong Kong or Guangzhou and from there flown back in a suitcase to various countries in Africa.

It's a bad translation of 水軍 which is short for 網絡水軍 (astroturfers)

It depends on the other party's privacy settings. You can set it to display the profile picture to Everyone or Contacts.

We've been having this problem in Singapore for a couple of years now. Can't add any VMs to our k8s cluster and can't provision a number of services which made our multi-region BCP more complicated.

He's choosing to use his talents this way

I think it's a cultural thing. We Europeans are just more used to driving manual transmission vehicles.

For that to work the destination server, in this case Gmail, would have to know to deliver mail addressed to me@domain.com into your Gmail mailbox. In this example it's a limitation on the Gmail side.

Domains and subdomains are handled by DNS which is why Cloudflare can E2E proxy them. Email mailboxes are handled by an application running on a server.

Could also be the Alter Ego Effect (there's a book with the same title about it).

All of this is predicated on Twitter remaining accessible, or existing at all, in the medium to long term which is seeming increasingly less likely.

That sounds like an easy way to crack the windscreen

What's your connection? Most of your posts and comments are about Notesnook

Pretty sure the NextStand is a whitelabel product inspired by Roost. You can also buy them from TaoBao for a couple of dollars or AliExpress for around US$15 in the 11.11 sale [0]. Disclaimer: I haven't bought this particular listing, but am happy with my TaoBao one.

Airline intercoms are usually analogue systems with no state or access restrictions other than physical.

I have two dedicated home internet IPs (one iCable fibre and a China Mobile 5G fallback/quarantine WiFi) and get these "checking if your internet connection is secure" interstitials all the time now. Also see them on my HKBN work connection.

I'm from Hong Kong and suspect the whole territory is on the naughty list.

Depends on which country you are in. Many countries financial years run April to April.
