I hate compliments. I become uncomfortable when people say nice things to me because I don't know if they are sarcastic or not. Probably because I'm never satisfied with my own results always thinking about how I could have done it better.
Secondly I hate everything material, even so money. I make just enough money to pay the bills and other essentials, but if someone I know even remotely would ask me for $100 I would never ever think about getting it back.
Yep. Same boat. I'm a student though, so I'm curious how things will change once I start my career.
I'm a bit minimalist, and it sounds like you are too. I hate carrying more than one bag when I travel, and the thought of having a ton of stuff I don't need makes me really, really uncomfortable. It's surreal.
Do you use this "never satisfied" outlook for personal improvement? I'm really glad I act that way. It keeps me moving forward, even if I seem a little cynical along the way.
I'm a student too, in my final year. In a month my employment is going to finish and I'll have 9 months of living on savings until it's all over.
I own a largish TV, a few consoles, a bunch of stuff I don't need. It does make me feel very uncomfortable. I suspect rather than dipping in to savings too much, I'll be simply selling things off.

To me it's like material things takes up valuable space inside of my head that already cramped more important. It's like even if you don't use the stuff you own, it still takes energy to keep track of it.
The paradoxical thing is that in a way I'm maybe more materialistic than everybody else because I get very attached to things. When I buy things it has to be perfect, and the process of finding the perfect product is sometime so cumbersome that even if it's something that I actually would need, I spend a week researching about what to buy and then end up just skipping it thinking "I managed so far".
Now I gotten so used to this pattern that I've started to actively buy as little as possible just to spare my self from this time consuming process.

Yes, absolutely. As I don't look for endorsement from other people, and money does not either interest me, that's the thing that keeps me going. If perfection and personal improvement wasn't important, then I really wouldn't know what would get me out of bed each day.
I definitely relate to this. When I get a compliment, I instinctively feel the need to say something negative about whatever it is that is being complimented. No idea where that comes from.
Just because a possible alternate explanation is put forward does not imply that explanation is deemed probable. It can simply be more information to consider.
Did this site really deserve its own domain? We (as the internet) really ended up misusing the domain system and the only one benefiting from it are those selling domains.
So, no, domain (re)sellers aren't the only ones benefiting. And TBH the credibility of your statement is questionable given that ICANN doesn't directly sell domain names anyway.
I actually don't think using domains instead of paths or sub-domains makes things easier at all. Here's an example. Lets say you wan't to know about the latest playstation. Where do you go? ps.com, playstation.com, playstation4.com or sony.com? As a non gamer, I have no idea but I know its made by Sony so I guess that's where I'd go.
"Hacktivism, Illicit Drug trade, Cyber Attacks, Human Trafficking, Money Laundering, and other areas - could have a set of predictive probabilities by analyzing huge volumes of data in virtual space and narrowing the common denominator IPs and other cyber prints."
Even if we were free thinking individuals, able to make rational decisions on our own, we base those decisions on past events and the current situation. So even if you get to choose, you'd probably make the same rational choices as long as your past experience and the environment is the same.
This would be true one second ago, and a second ago this would be true about the second before that.
No thanks. Life is too short for that. But here it goes anyway. Rosa: modified in Russia. I don't even want to know what shady things are going on in this distro. Korora: Fedora-based. Not for me. Chakra: KDE. Nope. Ubuntu Gnome: could be my second choice. But Ubuntu lost me, at least for the time being. Sabayon: Gentoo. Nope.
Looking at movies from the 80's and even the 90's it's kind of painful to see the perception of technology. Not because the technology is obsolete today and that in some way is hilariously funny, but because you can feel the hubris at that time as people thought of them self as being at the forefront.
Now I used to think that we the humanity grown out of that hubris. That our kids will never be able to mock us because of the old technology we once perceived as cutting edge, simply because we gotten more distanced to our self no longer perceiving our self as being on the forefront in a world that's always changing.
But right now I feel like we're back in the hubris of the 80's. We will tell our kids about the time when every one was supposed to have a 3d printer at home. The material was super expensive, the material didn't hold up to anything, and who is going to have time to manufacture stuff at home when we don't even make our own food any more? And our kids will laugh at us for ever getting so out of touch with reality.
