  • “Evolutionary reason” does not necessarily mean that a feature is an advantage. Mutations are random and then positive or negative selective pressure act on them untill the mutation is either extinct or is adopted by the whole population. For features without selective pressure the same thing still happens it just takes longer and is basically random. So different populations of a species will always develop different features even when given the same environment.

    So for most of the features you listed: yeah it just happened.

    The ghost is sad because it locked itself out/forgot the key inside. Second ghost shows up an tells them to just warp through because they are ghosts. But instead of being happy they are inside and never needed the key, they try to move the key outside so they can unlock the door to get inside.

    And the brain didn’t even know it was naming itself.

    The ancient Egyptians removed the brain before mummification because they considerd it to be basically useless. Later associations between motor control of muscles and the brain were discovered but it wasn’t until the development of modern neuroscience that the brain was considered to be the seat of awareness, self and intelligence.

    Client isolation doesn’t help. That is just the access point not routing traffic between connected devices. The problem with WiFi is it is a radio signal. Everybody in range can receive 100% of all communication on that network. Just by being in range the attacker can do passive sniffing. No wiretap needed like with cabled networks.

    WiFi is encryoed if it uses a password. So any public WiFi without a password can be sniffed by literally every device in range (no need to connect to the WiFi for sniffing). On public WiFi with a password, the radio signal is encrypted but everybody knows the encryption key. So everybody connected to the WiFi can still sniff the traffic of everybody else.

    That encryption is only on the WiFi level, so encrypted radio signals, not on the actually traffic level (like TLS/HTTPS etc).


  • The post office knows who you are sending letters to. They have to know because they have to deliver it. They do not know the content of the letter. They also dont know if the letter will be passed along by the receiver to a different destination.

    Your ISP knows you are sending traffic to a VPN but not where they are sending it to. The VPN knows where you are sending traffic to but not the content of that traffic. So if you browse a website that only serves pirated content, then they knows you are consuming pirated media but not which media.

    If the law requires the VPN to report any and all traffic to blacklisted sights then a “no logs policy” would breach that law.

    However to make this law work, Italy would have to ban all VPNs and http proxy services outside of Italy. Italy would have to force pretty mutch the whole world to follow this law for it to work.

    What happens if you run a tiny server on AWS in the USA to proxy your private traffic. Unless AWS USA is watching all traffic to see if it complies with Italian law there is no way to enforce it.
