Two things worth noting here: - Not your keys, not your coins. Never keep in an exchange what you cannot afford to lose. - Governments, especially tyrannical regimes that don't even need to pretend to respect human rights, will hampe

Something smells fishy here. Surely sending a C&D letter would have been more cost/time efficient for all parties involved? Then again, I wouldn't put it past Riot to try to employ these kind of shakedown tactics given their..

A good red team pentest would have been to just stop after the first round of patches, not to try again and then cry foul when they get rightfully rejected. Unless, of course, social denunciation is part of the attack- and yes, it's ad

I have to question the true motivations behind this. Just a "mere" research paper? Or is it there an ulterior motive, such as undermining Linux kernel development, taking advantage of the perceived hostility of the LKML to make a

Sure thing, that's fair. "No name-calling" is pretty clear-cut all things considered. Notice I really haven't used the term myself (or "boomer" in a derogatory way) but it's the sort of thing that admitted

They probably caught enough flak with how incredibly unserviceable AirPods were and decided not to repeat the same mistake, especially here where it wouldn't give any benefit at all. Kind of a no-brainer, but you never know with Appl

You can't help being born black, or being born a woman. However, you can not be an entitled person who abuses their privilege in order to get ahead of literally everyone else, which is the attitude a "Karen" embodies. Sure, I

The cat's out of the bag now. Cryptocurrencies will kept being used in tyrannical regimes even if under wraps, and governments will try to rein in to keep them under "control" in the rest of the world, but they're very m

Here's the thing with the proliferation of paywalls in news sites: it just makes disinformation and the spreading of fake news all that much easier if you can't fact-check easily. I understand people need to get paid, but I don&#x

So why doesn't Telegram have the same issue? Just like Signal, the client is fully open source and most of the secure bits are client-side, but unlike Signal they make no pretenses about being "fully" open source as they&#x27

Not all causes are made equal, and they're not necessarily important to the same degree for everybody. That's not being "privileged" or "ignorant", that's the patent truth.

Leave a tourniquet on for far too long and you risk losing a limb. And a limbless person will have a much lower quality of life. Likewise with capital controls, it might serve to treat the problem now but it does nothing to tackle the cau

Capital controls merely treat a symptom (flight of capital) instead of treating the disease (a faltering economy) and left on for any period of time only leads to further consolidation of power to the ruling class, at the expense of the res

As much as I'm bullish on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general in the longer term, this feels like too much, too quickly. I don't really expect this bull run to last that much longer.
