  • people who really need anonymity are very rare. probably less than 100 in the entire world. definitely not typical Kagi users

    unless they are criminals, in which case we don’t care that they don’t have full anonymity (nor we want them as customers)

    If this is where you’re drawing the “believes only criminals want privacy” argument from, that’s not exactly what the quote says. The wording sucks, but it’s saying:

    • Very few people need anonymity.
    • Anonymity seekers aren’t our target market.
    • The criminal subset of anonymity seekers are even more “not our target market”.

    (This bit about criminals is completely unnecessary, though, and its inclusion makes me inclined to believe that Vlad looks down on people who want anonymity. I’m definitely not a fan of this guy.)





  • I think that’s because you’re thinking about it with your body and your experience.

    Someone with a different body and different experiences might see that 240lb bouncer and think:

    Another guy they hired to be dumb muscle. I’ve dealt with his type before; wouldn’t hurt a flea without permission. Would probably cry right after, too. But the little guy… his eyes are saying he’ll do it. He’ll enjoy watching the big guy crush my windpipe. And big guy? If the little guy tells him to, he won’t hesitate.

    “H-hey, we’re all friends here. T-Tell you what, I’ll tell you what you want to know, and you can tell big guy here he’s got nothing to worry about.”

    If you take the right perspective, you can make almost any skill check make sense.
