Not even are there no further requirements, it's also one of the very few products where you as a single user will pay about the same as a bank licensing several thousand terminals. I don't know of any other product that doesn&#x2

You need the keyboard and/or B-Unit for second factor authentication. Licenses are for a single person only and not transferable (there are machine-based licenses but those are increasingly rare). So you need a shipping address.

Bloomberg has a steep learning curve but it's amazing once you've worked for it for a few months. I can access the most exotic functions or sub menus by just typing in a string of numbers. I don't think any other software all

Honestly, writing an email probably also gets you there. If sent from the right domain (big bank, asset manager or even pension fund), you'll get attention quickly. It's not about the channel, it's about signaling who's

That's for any piece of trading software used at brokers, banks and asset managers. Bloomberg IB is a central piece of trading architecture but not more so than many others.

I absolutely agree. I had a terminal for most of my career and while it's an amazing piece of software (Reuters offer doesn't come close despite them often having more extensive news and data) and it's super convenient for co

Rather a few thousands at least. Most larger companies have that amount of data (if they can use the model is another question).

Do you have a link to that? Didn't see it here on HN.

Any reason why it has to be hosted in the US? Hosting is so standardized, it's hard to argue why it can't be moved to the EU.

It might be good news for EU consumers. There's no technical reason for most vendors why customer data of EU customers has to be stored in US data centers.

They needed to reset credentials so this could've never been a stealth attack. By making it public, any later leak of DMs is much more likely to be accepted as authentic. Without that, most people would've doubted the authenticity

Or they were but it was kept secret. Twitter hasn't published a list, we only know of the BTC tweets. Maybe they actually were after other accounts' DMs and the tweets are just diversion to make it seem like an undirected attack.

Is Musks account really publicly managed? He probably has an agency helping him but I doubt he'd use another account for DMs.

Even more important, Github lives off fees paid by companies. They might switch to Gitlab or other competitors if availability remains an issue. Facebook lives off ads, as long as people visit FB, companies won't really take their ads

I believe they still use the MAC address? If the master node changes, the number could suddenly start at a different block, causing massive performance impacts. If they're purely sequential you can as well use a 64 bit int.

by dx034 6y ago
UUIDs can have severe performance implications. Even without massive randomness, a change in the MAC address used or non sequential numbers can slow down writes massively. As others have written, a simple 64bit integer should be enough for

It's actually an error I've seen multiple times in the past, and I'm not even working with databases full time. I do think it's surprising that no one had thought of implementing at least checks for these conditions.

by dx034 6y ago
What confuses me is that CPU starvation caused crashes. Sure, too few CPU ressources should cause a slow down but the database process itself shouldn't crash as a result. I haven't dealt with MySQL that much but at least for Postg

I've set up systems where I chose 32bit int because I could've never imagined to need more than 4 billion values. AT some points I did (related to deletes) but changing the datatype when you have >1bn records can be next to imp

If this is a demonstration to a client I don't want to know what the product is they're selling. There are few more valuable targets than being able to hijack communication of public figures.

If past cases are any indication they're just super proud it works and at some point will want to tell someone to get validation. That's when they'll get caught.

Social engineering could be very easy from within the US, e.g. if you're the neighbour of a Twitter rep working from home and can talk them into handing you their phone for a few minutes. From outside the US it's much harder, esp

Maybe Trump was protected, his tweets can certainly move markets. And while it's possible to track investments in smaller stocks, someone buying futures or ETFs on large indices to profit from that would likely be able to stay anonymou

Reporting that social engineering would allow to take over the admin panel might not lead to any pay out at all.

In some areas, you'd need 10km of fiber to reach 50 households. Considering frequent repairs and maintenance, even with robots that's not cost efficient at what consumers are willing to pay.

Or make it more expensive? I'm sure their 1gbps plan won't be cheap. Probably expensive enough that no one in a city would consider taking it. In rural areas however it's the only alternative. Starlink's business is prob

Starlink will likely be more expensive than city fibre. That should solve the issue naturally. The only people using it in cities could be companies for backup connections or people taking their router when travelling.

It's also why Wifi, as amazing as new generations are, can't be the universal solution. Even well built installations in offices will quickly clog up during busy times. Wifi is important for devices where cables don't work, t
