Maybe not SBF specifically, because he seems to be too stupid to cut a deal, but the whole crypto space appears to be a den of thieves where secrets were poorly kept. I imagine that many players in his orbit knew at least generally what CZ

I think vehicle sims are the best case for these things. They really do play better in vr. Yet even so, of course you can still use a monitor, and of course that's good enough. It's hard to imagine what a vr exclusive that couldn&

Whether MS is good or not isn't really the point. If they're constrained by GPU availability, being locked in to any specific provider is going to be a problem.

That's interesting to me. Personally, I feel like you can apply the same mindset to a lot of other activities, which makes them satisfying in the same "way" that programming is. Putting things in neat little boxes, solving li

I live in the southern US and these things with modified exhausts are everywhere. There's no car inspection and no regulations are enforced. You can hear them at all hours of the day even if you live several blocks from a major road. I

There was a short-lived show called "Going Deep With David Rees" where the host explores this in a humorous manner. It's S1E1, I believe it is available on Amazon. You might be able to find excerpts on youtube.

It's similar to Buzzfeed (News) really. Vice always did clickbait / lifestyle, but they also invested heavily in real hard hitting stories that other outlets ignored. Of course they also continued the clickbait / lifestyle st

This is so far divorced from my experience, like we're not even thinking about the same software. Rails is very opinionated, and when I've encountered new rails code bases they are easily legible to me and can readily be understoo

OK, now you're moving from the realm of genuine curiosity and into the realm of victim blaming. Before the collapse, FTX and crypto had a veneer of respectability. They had ads everywhere and the mainstream press treated them like legi

This doesn't solve anything, sadly. You are entirely at the behest of Bigco as to whether they will require keys signed by any particular device's certificates, and they have no incentive to allow interoperability here.

One plus actually required an account to unlock the boot loader on one of the devices I owned. You had to log in and submit a request for unlocking. Perhaps they aren't all this onerous, but that really put me off of them.

Yeah, the state of affairs with Google is better than any other mainstream vendor. It seems lame that you have to phone home to unlock a new device, but it's nothing compared to what they could be doing.

I believe Google now can do the app signing. They seem to encourage developers to upload keys [0]. The stated reason is to generate dynamic packages based on device details. I don't remember the details but I believe it is their intent

Of course, it's all Realpolitik. The US system of governance at this point is such a failure for real democratic rule. It's devolved into a two-party system, and for some reason we grant whichever party happens to be in power the

Is it big news? It might be, but we haven't seen the packet captures yet. I'm not trusting this shallow analysis (from a source I don't have any particular reason to trust) without seeing more details or corroboration.
