and from that there's a whole slew of problems

That's the whole point - doctors have more work, so they can ask for more money and pharmaceutical companies make a killing. Doctors are not interested in curing their patients nowadays, they are interested in making money for pharma.

I think it is worth mentioning that it actually kills pain and I am yet to experience any side effects. Only problem is to find the right dose, but it is a minor obstacle in comparison to the hell offered by pharmaceuticals. I have been taking Kratom for a month now and after a week dropped all pain medication prescribed by doctor. I feel like I am getting my life back. I feel that there are forces out there trying to make it illegal, because it interferes with the profits of pharmaceutical companies.

I understand the convenience of not having to manage such product, but more often than not is way more cost effective to rent some dedicated servers and run infrastructure for fraction of the cost. It is fairly easy to create resilient infrastructure nowadays and hw failures are very rare anyways. People are being fooled by fancy menus to overpay a mile for mediocre service.

Problem is that people (politician) wanting to push it through simply don't care. They just want to have access and they think there are agencies that can deal with potential consequences. It is frankly all about the money - they want to have ability to access sensitive data and therefore be more attractive to people willing to pay the bribe.

As a European not belonging to VWP you have to go through the process as if you were going to mainland US which is ridiculous. All neighbouring islands I can visit with visa on arrival - don't have to go to any embassy to beg for the privilege to visit your country.

When I was taking it, it only worked first couple of days then I had to increase the dose to feel anything. Then I had a very strange effect of being tired but unable to sleep at all, as if I was sleeping awake if that makes sense. After taking 600mg to see if this fights fatigue I was not able to sleep for a couple of days. I still have not found how to tackle the fatigue. Doctors are helpless, tried almost every medication available.

The new £1 Coin 9 years ago

Coin has WiFi and a microphone and sends data to the nearest surveillance spot if it is in range.

You don't have to, because it is already written and fairly easy to use. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to encrypt a message using asymmetric cryptography, that will be difficult - if possible to break. People who will want to conceal contents of their messages could still send them encrypted via WhatsApp or other platform regardless if there is a backdoor or not. UK Home Secretary has just displayed unprecedented level of incompetence.

It was not possible to explain my spouse that I can't be interrupted when I work from home.

What has worked was showing her the bill for a monthly office lease. I said I cannot do this any longer so I rented my own office outside of home. First she was very angry that I spent money like that "because you can work from home!", but I said that I can't because she doesn't respect I can't be interrupted. She promised that she will try not to do that if I cancel it. I did cancel (although I lost the deposit), but she stopped doing this. We agreed that I cannot be interrupted between 9 to 5 except lunch time.

Classic example when money talks :)
