The BOA leak, and several others, got burned by that Daniel Dumbshit guy over some petty personal disputes on how Wikileaks was run. That's what the Benedict Cumberbatch movie was all about, told from the perspective of the shithead wh

The illegal coordination between the Hillary campaign and the DNC was kind of a big deal, and did trigger a wave of corruption getting flushed out of the DNC. I voted for Hillary in 2016, she was by far the better candidate, but I also seed

The "bad" part of the word "scaremongering" is the "mongering" part. It's fine to be scared of things, and talking about scary things, but when you intentionally work to scare people for profit, that'

I've been saying this for years, but every post you make online, every unencrypted email, IM, text message, etc, will eventually end up getting sold off as training data for future machine learning projects. Every company stores this s

No resentment towards Musk etc. They all did some awesome work, and many of them continue to do so. My resentment is towards hacker news commenters who think someone is "poor" because their parents didn't buy them enough Nint

Part of "access to decent education" is a school with well paid, highly motivated, and properly resourced teachers that can develop those relationships with kids who need extra help.

So you think they should split up harder ? What would that look like? Phone companies make some sense because they have to serve certain geographic regions which can't compete or collude with each other. Google serves the world, of wh

Eh, last I checked the five primary validator nodes are all run by Ripple.com. Not really "POA" when there's only one authority IMO.

by px43 6y ago
Yup, the original vision of Ripple was payment channels, like what the Lightning Network is trying to be today. Pretty shameful how they abandoned all that to become a shitty version of PayPal.

JFC that entire comment section is about blaming the Jews and using some pretty fucking horrific slurs to do it. Let that trash pile burn. Fuck those guys and anyone who would give pieces of shit like that a platform to spread their hatred

Ooo fun. Okay.. really stretching here.. Lets say decoherence is no longer an issue. You've got your qbits suspended in some sort of fancy diamond lattice, and for some reason you really want your scheduler and all your hardware IO to

I'm pretty sure most of those people were born into homes with plenty of access to good food and education. Elon had a nice computer from an early age in the early 80s, and went to a fancy prep school. Gates had parents who were succes

This is one of my favorite paths forward for long term CO2 reduction. About 360 million years ago, there was something called the Carboniferous Period[1]. This was the 60 million year period after wood had evolved, but before anything h

Great info, much appreciated. Still seems like kind of a lot of something that's supposed to live in space for years at a time. Presumably solar panels recharge a battery when it can, but continuous operations seem out of the question

I'd bet someone could pretty easily build an alarm that goes off every time one of these things is looking at you. That radar blast has got to be massive. This definitely couldn't be a 24/7 thing from those satellites. I wond

I feel like you're trying to sell the utter lack of a security model as some sort of feature. Power users and developers have always had the ability to circumvent the Android sandbox on their own devices. Windows CE just never tried to

Are you really arguing the that Windows CE platform was more open than Android? Back in 2005, an open source Linux based phone was a hippie pipe dream, and carriers were FIRMLY against allowing anything open source on their networks. Androi

It can also be changed if Mathematicians all decide to redefine what numbers mean, which has just about as much chance of happening.

If you track over time, which that site doesn't show, you'd see that "number of users" isn't much of a factor. There are a bunch of popular apps with shitty security practices that have cheaper bugs than less popula

IMO the most interesting metric these days is bug price. https://zerodium.com/program.html Chrome bugs are currently selling for $500k and Firefox/Edge bugs are selling for $100k. It's kind of shocking that we got

There is a vastly higher chance of there being exploitable bugs in port knocking tooling than there is of there being exploitable bugs in SSH. You are adding extra exposure and gaining nothing.
