How is it that Tether, with all its reports of unviability, seems to manage to go on? It seems like if they were the fraud people frequently report, the would have bust long ago.

The problem with the author's paper is that his assumption (and that of, apparently, media organizations, Wikileaks, and others) of DKIM "ensuring non-repudiation of emails" is simply wrong. >DKIM provides a life-long guar

Somewhat similarly, I suffered 4-8 attacks per year from the age of 24 to 49. Colchicine was my friend. But at 49 I quit drinking, lost almost 50 lbs over a year period, and almost completely stopped having gout attacks. Interestingly, I st

Curious about this too. I use it on a couple of 18.04 and 20.04 *buntu's, and only occasionally have trouble with it. I have noticed there are some websites that tend to make it both consume CPU and prevent my machine from screen-blank

FWIW, I still use ltib (originally a Freescale open-source build environment) and it's mostly great. Fewer layers of abstraction, builds all the source modules using essentially the "linux-from-scratch" system, with .rpm inte

Sounds like my day job of the last 10 years or so. Although I'm mostly focused on the app code, I spent about four months this year debugging various wifi stacks (one for each generation of product). Only to have most of the problems

The argument for HFC is always "more liquidity is for the greater good." I think the best way to stop the timing arms race is through tax structures that encourage longer-term investing, and penalize extreme short-term investing.

Then any device can connect to that server, not just authorized devices. Maybe you assume that's okay, but it's an attack vector on the server, and it means someone can emulate a device that isn't really one.

They also deploy these features to prevent unsigned code from running and creating botnets. There is a tradeoff for letting users run their own code on these devices: people other than the device owner may be able to run code on them too.

Whoops, silly me / more coffee needed. All my servers have: PasswordAuthentication no ChallengeResponseAuthentication no so sshd never generates a password prompt. They all run on a non-standard port, and it's somewhat r

Wait, I think I'm an idiot - does disabling password auth entirely prevent openssh from generating a password prompt?

There is no need for a long-term stock exchange. If you want to encourage long-term investing, "all you need to do" is change investment taxation. Equities held for less than a minute? 100% tax. A year? 20%, like the US today. Fiv

I wish it were so. For card-not-present transactions (i.e., all online credit card transactions) the liability is the merchant's. There is no recourse for a merchant who is a victim of a stolen card, the money is simply removed from th

Musical.ly did? How did they negotiate that license, I wonder? Let me put it another way then: Is the success of musical.ly and its successor TikTok really about somehow getting licensed music on a platform out the gate? And the sorting hat
