Your funds are safe. I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow to contain.

That image is already 300MB of uncompressed pixel data. That's a hard floor on the memory usage unless you do something crazy like build a streaming image processing pipeline.

Their brand name is probably worth less than 0 at this point. Outside of crypto circles, they're unknown. Inside crypto circles, they're known for freezing people's accounts at random and not having any customer service when

It already does take seconds. Sometimes even minutes or hours. When you click "buy now", Amazon optimistically pretends the order completed instantly, and queues a backend job to charge your card. If your card is declined, you get

If I use my private key to send a transaction to your public key, the exchanges have no say in it. You can choose who to trust. If some exchange is corrupted, just don't use it.

Why did you find Twitter's CEO stepping down in 2015 interesting enough to repost? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31688455 Also, when is the last time you slept?

A 51% attack in those days would have made no sense. These were the days before exchanges or even an exchange rate. To trade you had to post on a forum or IRC and wait around for an answer. If the network was attacked, it would have been an

The rule of thumb for multiple locks is always acquire them in the same order. Lock A, lock B, unlock B, unlock A. Otherwise you risk a deadlock. If another thread locks B, then tries to lock A, you're in trouble.

If I steal 50 Disney DVDs from a store (and they aren't recovered by the police) the store's insurance will reimburse the store for the loss, and then the store will order more DVDs to refill their stock. Disney actually comes out

Let's say I have an iPhone 6 that stopped receiving updates. What do you suggest I do with it: - landfill - install Linux - something else?

It's only a matter of time before they stumble on a streaming site hosted behind a Cloudflare IP and the ISPs end up blocking half the internet.

Coming from the other side, most apps don't check the winapi error code when copying text. One app I use (notepad2 maybe?) at least throws up a tiny "Error" dialog box when it fails. I configured my clipboard manager to make

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the title seems a little clickbaity. "Cache invalidation might no longer be hard" --> "We built a tracing library and manually fixed the bugs it uncovered"

That sounds horrific. I wonder if anyone has built a TCP tunnel that works over shared clipboard? :)

IMO sentences should scale with the harm done, not absolute dollar amounts. Violent crime with a real-life victim should always be treated more harshly than crime where the "victim" is a megacorporation's intellectual propert

I think DALL-E would be a good way to come up with these. The nonsense text it adds to images is usually pronouncable and somehow always seems to match the theme you give it. GilaWhamm.com, anyone?

Not all -- orgasmatron5000.com is still available! I'm surprised, I thought that would be the first one to go.

Windows on ARM supports that already[1]. The low traction is probably because of the (sorry) bad hardware. Windows branded ARM as the budget option so nobody wanted it. Then Apple came along and flipped the script. [1]: https://b

I love the idea behind this! Having said that, it will take a lot to convince experienced users to trust these over on-chain transactions. The info on your website is pretty sparse - there's not nearly enough info there to work out the

It's illegal to counterfeit more than just currency. You'll get yourself in hot water selling fake Rolexes or fake Magic the Gathering cards too.

I would be careful with that 137GB 7zip file too. If you wanted to target crypto users with a 7zip 0day, this would be the way to do it.

The first paragraph also says "Imagine…" I skipped over it the first time around, but that made the rest of the post hit harder. This was pretty well written.
