It does seem very clearly a permissible use. Corellium beat Apple's copyright claims and they did far more than just embed a DLL.

This is a myth, and if you look into the statistics of the people pushing this Big Lie, you'll find that they cheat and use different inflation metrics for productivity and for compensation.

The companies are much bigger today. If you run a company that's 10 times as big, why is it surprising that you're getting 10 times the compensation? You'd need to compare to similarly sized companies today. Instead, they loo

Polymarket is in fact the oracle for all of the markets on their site. They don't host them in the sense that it's all on the blockchain. Augur has no actively traded markets last I checked. It was good by the election but has bee

They have markets on whether Biden, Cuomo, and Gaetz will still be in office as of various dates. You could pretty cheaply buy shares that pay off $1M+ if Biden were to die. But I'd expect the cost of assassination to be well over that

Polymarket uses USDC, a stablecoin, and is run by a NYC based company with millions in VC funding.

Interestingly, the setup used means they don't actually hold your money. It's all on the blockchain. They can resolve incorrectly but they can't outright steal everyone's money.

I don't know about the legality, but they've raised millions in VC funding. I suspect they have some kind of plan. They don't hold your money, all they do is act as an oracle as you note, which might help legally. So far ther

There's been some interesting markets. The vaccine market produced some interesting models, and there's a few markets now on how many covid cases will be reported in various states and nationwide.

I answered that in the comment you replied to. He implies there was no encryption during those five years, when in fact WhatApp had exactly the same level of encryption during that time as Telegram has by default.

Knowing that whatsapp implemented e2e in 2016, the direct implication of his statement is that there was no encryption prior to that.

by ikeboy 6y ago
If the beginning of that sentence is referring to 2011, then there's a five year gap until full e2e was implemented that the comment pretends never existed.

Interesting. Still don't think this is an honest way of describing it: >WhatsApp, on the other hand, had zero encryption for a few years, and then adopted an encryption protocol funded by the US Government

The same way I know that signal is - trust in the various groups that have incentives to set up encryption correctly and to break it if set up incorrectly.

It claims that Telegram has always been encrypted and whatsapp originally wasn't. There is no way to interpret that to make it true. Telegram chats are not e2e encrypted by default. They're encrypted between the server and the cli
