I didn't mention the word "fucked" , that was the article, I was making a point about lack of clarity in Binance's financials :) But yes, if a major financial company can't complete an independent audit to IFRS or s

AFAIK no, as in there's no "Binance headquarters" you can go to, or write to... The company is apparently registered in the Cayman Islands, but it's pretty easy to register a company there without operations.

For me the concern with Binance is that it's the biggest crypto exchange in the world, yet has no geographical base and has (AFAIK) never had a proper audit. Without more clarity, there's no way anyone can know for sure if all is

by raesene9 4y ago
The thing is, with the lack of clarity/audits etc for a lot of organizations in this world, you'll never get clear proof before problems become all too apparent. Look at FTX, Celsius et al, lots of people called FUD when issues we

Another point on the Mazars element is that (at the moment) it appears that Mazar's have suspended these services https://twitter.com/WuBlockchain/status/1603689768356675584?...

would it not be easier to say "life has no purpose for you "? People are varied and have varying motivations, what's important to one is not necessarily important to another.

Whilst I obviously can't speak for the single people you've met, it is possible that not all of them were optimizing for the outcome of living in giant mansions or owning lamborghinis :)

An ancillary question would be, how many of those people wanted to move into management? Definitely in IT departments I've worked in, in the past, there were a lot of people in management who would have preferred to still be ICs but,

I can't remember the timeline too well with Madoff but looking at this timeline of Theranos https://edition.cnn.com/2022/07/07/tech/theranos-rise-and-fa... it was years between the start of problems

I don't think the fact he's walking around in necessarily evidence of corruption, so much as it's evidence of governments (and there are multiple jurisdictions here) being slow to act. As to the idea that connections will alw

ah that's an interesting clarification! They should really give that more prominence as I'd guess there'll be quite a few people with that use-case.

yeah I could likely automate it if needed but generally I'm ok with manual sync for now.

That's not exactly how I'd read that EULA. To me it's asking for payment if you use it for work not at work. so someone recording personal notes on a work system wouldn't fall into that category, but someone using it

Obsidian is free though. Even for syncing it's totally possible to do that wit just git (which is what I do)
317.
by raesene9 4y ago
FWIW I use Obsidian, and just a private GitHub account and git for syncing, it works well no costs, I just need to remember to use git :)

You can browse the local timeline from the web interface, which is one way. Assuming you've joined an interest where people who have similar interests hang out that's a good discovery mechanism. Then there's cross-instance #h

Sounds similar to Virustotal, where customers can get access to uploaded files, so if you use it to scan documents for malware, you might end up leaking them. There are some times where cloud based solutions aren't the best option, and

FWIW whilst it doesn't run Linux directly at the moment, it runs WSL2 just fine, and you can setup Windows OpenSSH server to launch WSL2's bash on connection, so you can use it for remote Linux work ok.

However, it is also complex and has been worked on by many people which increases the chances of bugs due to mis-understandings between team members. In contrast BearSSL is kept simple, and is primarily the work of a single author, who know

I'd say that all economics at a national level is about confidence. If the markets have confidence in what you're doing they don't react badly, if they don't have confidence in what you're doing, they react badly. B

It's important to note that in the UK we do not vote for a PM we vote for an MP in the seat we live in. I'm not a labour supporter, but I'd like to see a general election as it's obvious that the conservatives can't

by raesene9 4y ago
It was the daily star, one of the UKs tabloid newspapers, who often have "irreverant" approaches to the news, this one paid off for them I'd guess.

What happens next will be interesting . At this point, a general election would be the obviously correct solution. It's clear that the conservative party don't have a platform and can't agree major policy points amongst them

From what I saw it was Truss and Kwarteng who caused the immediate issues, so not really a fall person, so much as the people who caused the problem leaving. They came up with the disasterous "mini-budget" which kicked it all off,

So the CSP has physical access to the CPU (and the rest of the hardware), is it possible to attest that it hasn't been tampered with after it leaves the CPU manufacturer's control? (I'm not saying that's it's in any

So with AMDs SEV (and I'm guessing similar systems) what's the interface by which a customer will get that information? What I'm interested in is, is there not a CSP controlled API between the literal hardware and the CSP cus

If you don't trust your CSP (the threat model discussed in the article) then I'm not sure that confidential computing will save you as you're relying on the CSP to implement and provide that service faithfully. The CSP instal

The tricky part is that many more developers think they're capable of handling all these issues than actually are. Web app security is a genuinely tricky area with lots of edge cases. Good frameworks provide abstractions that mean you
