It should be an opensource project that people can run themselves on node or linux or whatever. They are logging in via Oauth, pulling all emails from gmail, scanning them for some keywords/patterns and then submitting removal requests to those services. It be perfect for a standalone opensource project, all someone needs to run it is their google oauth key from developer dashboard.

Otherwise we have to trust "someone" whoever it is that designed this service to not keep all the emails they pulled out of your account for processing for whatever nefarious purposes one can imagine.

I mean if I ever wanted to mass harvest peoples inboxes then this is exactly how I would approach it and hope most people just click "next" > "next" on the permissions warning that google shows, which most people would.

Revenue website here in Ireland does this, you need to have a cert which is read by a java applet, cert is issued after you use a one time password mailed to your home from what i remember, they expire every so often and need to be renewed.

One of the banking sites did as well but dropped it, now my gmail is more secure than my bank account since there is no 2fa on this bank.

The java applet approach must cause endless customer support requests

I have no problems using credit/debit cards its Paypal I have a big issue with (As per my post)

I just tried it again and see its a credit card form and no mention of paypal anymore, great i can actually use it now!

I tried to use Uber, but it asked me on registration to provide paypal details

Since I do not have Paypal due to being banned (they never told me why) that was that...

Ireland, 4 bed detached, solar water heater which works well for about 4 months of year, oil heating + wood/turf stove for rest of time. No need for air conditioning here but heat recovery thingie is on all time.

5000kWh last year, tho I have computer(s) on 24x7 due to home office, Comes to about 120€/month

Half of all the bills are just standing charges, and renewable subsidies charges and taxes, and taxes on taxes. Hence adding LED lights, low power appliances etc did little to budge the bills

I remember when the ntp exploit came out few years ago datacenter where we have a rack contacted me saying the Supermicro IPMI devices on the Supermicro servers were participating in an amplification attack.

I was like wtf! Matter was quickly resolved of course, also they learned a lesson and moved ipmi ips to 10mbit limited connnections not 1gbit.

Tho ideally a local ip that accessible only via a vpn would have been the best option for remote management but yeh, little steps I suppose with some providers.

So those 7.4+9.4 million bitcoin address with a balance of less than 0.0001 ($0.06) are basically unusable at this time (due to current fee and blockchain being constipated for most of 2016), the sum up to about 2600$ worth and result in millions of "spam" entries on the blockchain

Its a bit deeper than that, freedom of movement of people/goods/services/capital lies at the very root of why the EU was founded

Even Norway and Switzerland and Iceland had to compromise to gain access to this market.

It would be absolutely hilarious (from a political point of view) if the UK endsup in same position of having to pay into the EU and implement most of the laws without having any say in how its run.

Bitcoin blockchain can only store very small amounts of extra data with each transaction.

I have heard that argument being made and like I said as a small business owner here it does piss me off that likes of Apple get preferential treatment from the taxman (but not surprised).

But if that is the case then the matter should be handled via courts, Revenue and the Gardai(police).

Who made the EU Commission the judge, jury and executioner?

You have to remember the EU is not the US, it is a much looser union where member states apparently meant to have most of the power, so in this case it seems there is somesort of powergrab and I do not like it

I voted for Europe in each and every referendum but I do feel like i was lied to when it comes to all the assurances made about states being able to make their own tax policy.

This Apple thing could open a pandoras box and could be a slide towards a more federal Europe, something that myself and I assume alot of people here and across europe do not want.
