This is a really good opportunity for them. A large set of Twitters powerusers are journalists, so it makes sense that a Twitter competitor would be backed by a major newspaper. I would be funny to see Bezos owning Elon without even trying

Yes, using a crypto algorithm also counts as rolling your own crypto. You're putting together crypto libs that others wrote. Most crypto vulnerabilities come from glueing together solid crypto implementations. The glueing has to be sol

I'm very skeptical of crypto, but what this is telling me is that at least one pro-crypto argument has _some_ merit: _some_ degree of additional transparency. Anyone could look at these addresses. This isn't the case with accounts

Ok so we can go one step further, which is that most speech is a giant marketing exercise. Some people use it to great effect, others less so. And the ones that do get a multiplier effect from putting that speech on the internet/social

Speaking of which, what's the status of TrueCrypt btw? Is it still discouraged? I've been using it for years. And if I wanted to make the effort to move to VeraCrypt, are they compatible? Can VeraCrypt open TrueCrypt files? What a

As a general rule, I don't think we should blame the victims. If someone got scammed, we shouldn't go "well if they were smart enough they wouldn't have fallen for it". However in the case of pump and dumps, I would

I'm not suggesting you're wrong, but would you care to clarify how exactly binance being "in dire straits" (in the sense of not being able to honor withdrawals, I presume you mean) would affect the value of BNB?

It wasn't a "as sprawling of a business as FTX was". It was a shell game.

The title of this thread is "how do you protect your children from Internet addiction", so you're the one who really wants this discussion to be about something that no one else is taking about.

Thanks for sharing. I don't doubt that it worked for you, but I wonder whether this is a good approach. You say you never had limits on anything. Say one of your kids tells you he wants to trying heroin a bit. Would you let him? Now, o

Those who paid for a Cybertruck pre-order, or a Tesla Semi pre-order, aren't enjoying them. EDIT: Quick google says Tesla took 1.5M Cybertruck pre-orders. Assuming each costs $100k, how much is that? People get riled up with SBF, but t

I get your point, but on the other hand, Musk (and his hyping/scamming) is the only reason why anyone even knows about Tesla. Were it not for him, Tesla would just be one of many (tens?) of struggling car makers. So sure, Elon Musk has

That would be hugely disappointing for all the people calling out Elon Musk as a scammer for his Tesla work for many years now. I'm sure those people would rather see Tesla go down due to its failures, rather than because of Twitter.
