What do you mean by nothing is encrypted? Transport encryption?
foobar.com never has access to cookies from google.com. when requests are sent to google.com, cookies are added. when you load google.com, JS can access the google.com cookies.

google analytics: google.com tracking cookie is to identify the user. the js in the page knows the current website and tells google "im here". the dominance of google analytics and adsense means users are tracked wherever they go (because google is always there and recording)

I am all for receiving free stuff and not having to pay for it. The only problem is that is impossible (unless you are a nordic country where the government owns the black gold pumping industry. (even then its not sustainable))
Re:List of languages that compile to JS on Thursday October 04, 2018 @04:52PM (#18143559)
Interesting. I feel the opposite. I can write JS way faster than C or python. JS is much more forgiving and less restrictive than those other languages.

edit: gotta love the downvotes for voicing your opinion. LOL

yeah but not extremely over priced

A lot of them are newer versions or slightly modified versions of JS.
I previously considered the idea of creating a cloud storage solution where customers are only billed for what they use. This was spurred by looking at dropbox's $10/mo plan for 1TB of storage. But I decided against it.

Storage is already free for the average user. 15GB with Google is enough. If you want more, the option is there and not that expensive. $2/mo for 100GB. I see no reason why a consumer would switch to my lesser-known service to save $1/mo. $1 is nothing. So my market would be users that store a lot of data. In that case, $10/mo for 1TB doesn't seem all that bad. Anymore than 1TB, customers probably have a bit of technical knowledge and may aswell store it themselves.

This market is already extremely saturated. Every single big tech name has a part of it.

https://cock.li

tor friendly. free (runs of donations). no email or id required.

also has tons of cool domain names to choose from. some of my favorites: horsefucker.org, cumallover.me, nigge.rs, rape.lol, nuke.africa

Decisions on treatment for mental illness should occur with a doctor. Widespread promotion and glorifying of "transitioning" encourages unstable individuals to make life-altering decisions.
