Flying an empty plane does not generate a rare collectible that the airline is speculating may some day be worth over six figures each.

There is a lot of game theory behind why people mine a PoW cryptocurrency. Attempts to quantify “CO2 per transaction” are fundamentally flawed in my opinion. Bitcoin’s pollution is not strongly correlated with its transaction volume. It’s a

If someone wants to give you money, take it. They can mandate more environmentally conscious PoS cryptocurrencies if they want. If I call Mozilla and offer to donate a million shares of the dirtiest Earth-polluting company, they should take

Blockchain activity: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/bc1q7rhc02dvhmlfu8smy... I have no idea how this passed Coinbase's KYC limits, there must be much more to the story here. I can't imagine that

You’re right. To clarify I’m blacking out the top X pixels to hide the dot, not scaling.

These are great: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/ultrastudio/techsp... Use case: live (minimizing latency), no compression, compatibility with other gear.

A good suggestion if you have the budget. NDI is also incredible for this. But small producers rely heavily on built-in I/O on their computers, and I suspect that the market share from small/amateur streamers using Apple products

My temporary fix has been to use an expensive hardware scaler to crop the output when I run into this. You’d think Apple would have plenty of production experts beta testing, I’m sure this will eventually affect their own live events. Mic i

Visual artists often use secondary monitor outputs to display media on projectors or large LED walls. Secondary outputs are also commonly used in broadcast for keyed font overlays among other things. Power users should be able to disable an

I think they'll need to iterate a bit to find product market fit. The 10mbit bandwidth limit, calling it "Decentralized", no public IP downsides are off-putting even at this price.

Thanks for the productive response. I was using Watchtower in Docker Compose on all instances, but I had it misconfigured. My fault for assuming auto updates were working without verifying, lesson learned.

This happened to all Gitlab instances that I manage around 2 days ago. Good to see publicity, I’m still dealing with not-so-understanding abuse departments at my hosting providers. Sure, my fault for not keeping it up to date. But there is

The U.S has an MLAT with Israel and routinely extradites. If the crime was committed on U.S. soil (intrusion, conspiracy), my understanding is that it is within U.S. jurisdiction.

Why a new agency? This is already very much within the FBI’s jurisdiction. Why is the international surveillance of U.S. journalists and their sources not visibly a priority? In my opinion it’s a matter of policy. This comes from the top do

It's possible. But I would expect panic selling as charts make it _look_ like all cryptocurrency is crashing due to USDT's sudden decrease in value. Small exchanges could also lose liquidity from bad code that assumes USDT will al

My source was a cursory look at https://coinranking.com/markets but I admittedly could dig deeper to verify this. I agree that prices would recover after a short term Tether-induced crash, and markets would almost certainly

This is a slap on the wrist. Tether's current market cap is $68.5 billion of printed money that users assume is really held in bank reserves. Expect a massive cryptocurrency crash if Tether's regulatory downfall finally occurs; a

This could be somewhat mitigated by VPN tunneling all traffic through Amazon’s edge, not sure of their implementation here but I highly doubt that Amazon overlooked this threat model. The exploit attack vector mentioned is already a risk to

Disrupt the hosting market, Apple. We're ready for your EC2. Achieving a quantum power/performance leap without swinging for server market share is an massive wasted opportunity. But Apple is Apple. I'll keep dreaming. Oh loo

This is not a BitPay competitor until PayPal allows users to deposit cryptocurrency. Until then it is a closed loop system, users and merchants cannot yet deposit or withdraw crypto itself, similar to Robinhood. Highly disappointed that Squ

Cryptocurrency is a blind spot where Hacker News’ normal optimism towards innovation has disappointed for a decade. May this thread be one we can reference years later as another example of “our collective opinions can be very wrong about t
