Big fan of CRA. I like the idea of bringing this to the full stack. Really cool this includes AWS and CD configurations. I've spent weeks setting that up.

Will you be adding other backend or auth options?

How do you test if a product is durable or not? I mean what's the time frame?

This makes sense. The act of recalling it is what cements your 'knowledge' of it, and repeating that recollection makes it easier to draw that connection each time.

The closest thing there is right now would be ENS - the E stands for Ethereum.

ENS domain names can mainly be used for payment for now, so I'd be sending crypto to [domain].eth where the advantage is having a readable address instead of a random-looking string.

You can also host web pages on it (which I believe is helped by their IPFS) but that has seen limited use as of yet.

Incidentally, crypto exchanges in the past (and one very recently, known as Bitmex) have faced issues with US authorities regarding this. Context: US citizens cannot trade unless the exchange is US-licensed.

Essentially, US gov applied pressure such that a simple tick box (to prove you are not American) is not sufficient. So, authorities definitely have precedent to enforce geo-constraints, it's just a matter of "do they care".

It gets really spooky when you start getting ads for something that was mentioned a couple times in Messenger. Wouldn't be surprised if they are scraping DMs now, too.
> someone seeing themselves on a billboard or advert

I just pictured 4chan hacking into a photo database and putting people's faces on a bunch of billboards.

Surely if this happened to more people, the public would become more privacy-conscious, no?

This is pretty much dependent on your attack vector being, for the most part, infinite. Method of delv and spawn rate, etc.

A 0day RAT for android was hitting about 500 devs per second before getting fixed.

Not from the South myself, but I noticed a similar trend in parts of the Midwest and anywhere that's not a big city.

Similar to the UK would be somewhere like Japan, which is well-known for its culture of restraint and politeness. Loneliness and suicide rates are high, while dating and marriage are suffering. It would appear a result of having a relatively restrained social culture.

PS. what is the spotify trick?
