This is great! Now these companies can become the new government-granted oligopoly that tries to use regulation to block future "disruptive" competition, and the complaint cycle can start anew!

If I were, say, some sort of Global Passive Adversary, I would try very hard to spy on Mitnick's communications. Then I could have all the vulnerabilities, and know who is buying and selling. I wonder if maybe that has occurred to anyo

Isn't that 5.5 years of sequential trying? This is a parallelizable problem. There's also no restriction on how fast a cracking machine is allowed to be, so I doubt 80ms is the lower limit.

The tools are world-class. But as soon as you use them, it is also obvious how far away they are from perfection. So I think you'll always here about how great they are from the outside, and grumbling from all the people who use them o

Something else that can change is fiat -> fiat transactions become progressively less useful if everything supports BC transactions.

I would go even further. Calling it a lottery is to completely disregard all the hard work and intelligent decisions of a person's ancestors.

Replace "AirBNB" with "a bulletin board" and try to make the same argument.

I would bet that the only reason they're beating prediction markets is because the markets aren't "real money" or they aren't able to participate in them. If they were, they would go make money in the prediction mar

I have thought about this a lot. I think the only way to truly defend against traffic analysis is with regularly-spaced broadcast messages. This is complete anathema to mobile devices, where power is at a premium and radios shut down to sav

I noticed a pattern with your post: "you should not be at all surprised that a summer associate billed against a matter" "you should probably not be using a large, full-service law firm" "you should find a new firm&

This is such random advice. What threats are you defending against here? "Wear gloves": Why? Are you thinking someone will pierce the veil of all these other precautions but then be stymied when they find a smashed laptop with no
