Are these blobs of text being generated by some language model or something? They seem like wildly incoherent generated stories 100% unrelated to the content of the article or this thread.

First off, you're hand waving over every person who has ever used bitcoin to purchase anything, which is a lot of people buying a lot of stuff. When I started mining bitcoin no one was talking about it every have a USD value. It was ju

Yup, that's just a Merkle tree. In a blockchain, blocks occur at regularly timed intervals, and are distributed globally, which is all enforced by some distributed authority mechanism, like Proof of Work. Rumor has it that Satoshi was

Eh, Wuhan has over 11 million people in it. It's much bigger than any US city, and almost all US states. A lot of stuff is going to come from there, especially shady network traffic. The city has also been there for 3.5 thousand years,

It's not artistry, it's overly complex hackery to satiate some weird technological obsession. Even with a soft fork, everyone still needs to update their nodes to maintain consensus. BIP100 signalling would have fixed everything a

Any chance that there's a way to actually encrypt a device set up like that? I usually use LUKS and EXT4 for all my drives but lately I've needed to move files to and from Windows systems on occasion, and it kills me that (from wh

Are we expected to sympathize with an app that's siphoning off sensitive user data from phones without informing the user? Seems shady. Your main website says: * Data is never kept online * No ads, no affiliate marketers, and no creepy

In the responses I read through on twitter, no one accused him of racism. People were upset that in the wake of a tragedy he seemed to only care about getting blue votes, which is pretty insensitive. Also, just like you said, he's doin

Please point to one person whose life was ruined from a single tweet, and who didn't deserve it. Yes, it exposes unapologetic racists and misogynists. That's a good thing. People who genuinely learn from their fuckups are generall

I guarantee that whatever browser you use, they have 0day for it. Whatever ISP you use, they can inject traffic into it, and they have a much easier time about it if you aren't in the US. If you're someone who uses the Internet,

I don't know all the details, but for SSO think about how you log into GMail. They enforce U2F and I'm pretty sure special certs get deployed to client machines. As for machine administration, it's ChromeOS, what needs admini

Hey, maybe instead can we make it illegal to sell shitty software that gets all your customers hacked? The disease is a broken software/security industry, these people taking advantage of the situation are just an inevitable symptom.

This really isn't all that hard, technically. (I've been in infosec for about 20 years now) 1. MFA all the things 2. don't disable windows updates 3. don't give Domain Admin rights to half the company 4. don't use s

Maybe this is a dumb question from a JS muggle, but the thing that kills me about this whole movement to virtual/shadow DOM is that it's made the "ctrl+f" search useless on more and more websites. Is there a nice way to

This is Apple, the inventor of walled garden tech for consumers. I wouldn't have been surprised if they had some proprietary extensions in Safari that made it so Safari was the only browser that could do it.

You've got that backwards, exchanges are only used by people with USD or trying to get USD. The Bitcoin ecosystem did just fine before exchanges existed. I was there. We either mined our own coins, or earned them by doing work for peop

The funny thing about infosec taxonomies is that actual attacks actively resist classifications like CVSS. CVSS is generally used on the sysadmin side to figure out what to patch first. Successful attackers generally go after shit that&#x27
