Coinbase Staking, the specific service that the SEC is going after here, is obviously not a security. It's a hosted custodial wallet, and Coinbase provides delegated staking. IMO Coinbase lawyers are about to eat the SEC alive.

Take a moment to look into it. Coinbase has hired the top legal team in the world on exactly that topic. They know the case law. The SEC has consistently refused to respond to any queries for clarification on what Coinbase can do to ensure

Please take a moment to look at anything that Coinbase legal has put out in the past few years. They have desperately been trying to figure out how to register, to the point of suing the SEC to get information, and the SEC has time and time

Saying "just register properly" is insane at this point. Coinbase has spent millions in legal fees over the past decade trying to get the SEC to publish how to do exactly that, and the SECs repeatedly refused to clarify how to do

No one is saying that China can't be an adversary. People are saying that maybe US politicians shouldn't be blatantly labeling them as an adversary just to score some sinophobic rageporn points with Fox News viewers.

I'd love to see what would happen if Walmart got banned in the same way.

What's the rooftop solar situation where you're at? I live in Oregon and maybe a fifth of the houses in my neighborhood have rooftop solar. A friend of mine in California mentioned that their rooftop solar setup fully covered all

This is why Microsoft's takeover of Github (and OpenAI for that matter) is so tragic. They weren't required to take this down. It got taken down because Microsoft didn't like it. Microsoft now has their hooks in the open sour

Everything that anyone has ever built is built on the works of others. This is how we progress as a species. The entire reason why the internet is so revolutionary is that it allows for permissionless innovation.

That's not end-to-end, that's just regular old symmetric encryption.

People should have stopped using SMS codes when NIST told them to stop six years ago. The fact that there are websites that still support it is an abomination and should come with hefty legal penalties.

Or.. use non-conductive coated wire to wire up every possible path, with all the wires connected at a start and finish point, and then see which wire gets hot first. It's not going to save you any time, since wiring up every path is ba

I feel like I've seen 10 or so cutting edge separators that allow for the use of metallic lithium without dendrite growth or dangerous rapid discharge. This would apparently lead to a massive increase in power density. Are they all bei

It's easy to hide backdoors in open source applications. It's easy to detect backdoors in closed source applications. People should definitely be using open source for as much as possible, because I want to live in a world that ma

What kills me is the often repeated claim that some massive tsunami is going to wipe out everything up to I-5 (about 60-80 miles inland in Oregon). Most of the analysis I've seen seems to completely ignore the existence of the Oregon c

Maybe to spite Mircosoft? I would love to completely remove Microsoft from my workflow. The way telemetry creeps into everything bugs the hell out of me. I also really don't like the security model of vscode where it's assumed tha

Yeah, like a fifth of the world's population was born in China. Unless a company is explicitly enforcing sinophobic hiring policies, there's going to be a lot of Chinese people working there.

I'm honestly more worried about US spies working for OpenAI. The US military has shown time and time again their obsession with weaponized AI, and now OpenAI has been fully consumed by Microsoft, and is now stating how building open so

Microsoft is well known for piping data to US intelligence as a service. It's almost certainly why they bought Skype, then removed all the end to end encryption.

Quick point of clarification here, Cthulhu wasn't an Elder God, it was an Old One. The Elder Gods were the ones who came and rescued humanity from the Old Ones, and locked Cthulhu in the sunken city of R'lyeh.

I find it funny that a global trillion dollar economy counts as being "wound down" to some people. The total economic value of the cryptocurrency space at the moment is just between the total economic value of Russia (1.06 trillio

GPU mining was only really a thing in the cryptocurrency space for a few years, maybe 2011-2013. Miners moved on to FPGAs for most things, and then ASICs shortly after. There were a few mildly GPU friendly cryptocurrencies, but the vast maj

My assumption was that it would first detect when it was written using stylometry, and the change in style over time, and could use that, in addition to other location tracking data in XKEYSCORE to figure out where the target was at tha

One under-discussed component of Snowden's XKEYSCORE leak was the claim made in one of the presentations that the NSA has enough stylometry data collected that, give some piece of text, they can not only tell you who wrote it, but th

In addition to those resources, Episode 4 of the Netflix series "Web of Make Believe" is basically a one hour documentary all about how sextortion operations work. Every episode of that series is solid gold.

I mean.. did you watch to the end of the episode? In the episode the scammers were targeting people trafficking child pornography, so it's a bit harder to empathize.

Option 1: Sounds to me like physical access is most likely. Your friend, or someone who knows them saw the message on your phone because you left it unlocked somewhere, and added it that way. Option 2: Autocomplete randomly added some weird
