Searching the mans name quickly brings up media reports of the story. His 'hack back' involved a SIM card hijack, which was then used to get access to the other partys Google and Dropbox accounts. Is the jail sentence fair? Highly

All maps are created with selective purpose. The only thing that can possibly represent all purposes simultaneously is the world itself. Accordingly, every map is also a compromise.

Curious: what exactly are the mechanics of this seeming dire prediction? Is it being implied, or threatened, that forthcoming actions will lead to the insolvency (and resultant loss of customer funds) of the worlds major crypto 'exchan

An outspoken person attracts attention. The more polarising the topic(s) spoken of, the greater angst one can expect under the weight of the attracted attention.

A quasi- bell curve function, is it not? Could paraphrase "on average, content is average". Not trying to be facetious. But sifting out large quantities of general dross has been a common requirement 'in tech' since befo

In a small business with low staff turnover - which amply describes any number of small city outlets - most of that stuff is ad-hocable. It's not efficient, but it's such a small part of the work involved that few cares are given.

It's weird being an old-school desktop computer user who never jumped on the mobile bandwagon. Not just because it makes me somewhat a dinosaur, but also because anecdotes about the average users internet experience these days sound li

Various band accounts over the years have described Rubin's role as a mentor and kind of 'album godfather' - a role which encompasses almost therapy-like factors and mental approach, but also some technical overview and exper

Many of Johns points are sound, as expected, but the entire discussion lacks an overarching context, namely: "what is your goal?". That diverse, foundational variable defines all that comes after. Deciding not to do something is

A trivial aside, and for which I apologise in advance - not least because it may have been merely a typo - but the correct phrase is "averse [to Google]", not adverse. "Averse to Google" == "disinclined to Google&q

I can see some argument for certain substances having, at the least, some adjacency to psychedelia, e.g. by way of some shared or similar mechanisms based around 5-HT receptor agonism and key involvement of the dopaminergic & serotonerg

You may have read my use of the term manipulate as cynical. In fact I meant it neutrally - that is, exchanges manipulate (or, "enable actions upon") money in the same way that computer applications manipulate data. Nothing inheren

Crypto exchanges basically are giant bots, based upon massive technical investment over many years, whose purpose is to stay at the cutting-edge of manipulating billions in customer funds in such a way that their own profit is paramount.

"Set and setting" [0] is a widely known phrase, in those scenes. The phrase attempts to catchily summarise the vital prerequisites, in any substance-taking situation - and this applies to alcohol too, as one of the potentially har

That's great, then. It seems like, depending on how knowledge develops, taurine may become quite the popular product. As a person in a not-dissimilar situation - thanks a lot for posting.

Be sure to rule out the 'sugar rush' effect. Not that your ~150 millilitre (or just over 5 fl oz) drink is the world's worst in that respect - it weighs in at around 4 teaspoons of sugar, based upon my googling. Some energy

Your assumption could come to pass. It's not a certainty. Keep in mind that these squabbles center around ownership, custody and handling - not seeking to destroy, or to cast the assets themselves as 'bad' per se.
