What’s the issue with that? This will be discovered as soon as the endpoint tries to send an event, right? At which point the client will see that the connection has been closed, reconnect, and receive the event.

Don't allow that. When a site registers as "local", which gives it the "local" badge, do not allow the site to switch back to non-local. Perhaps the site could be allowed to update itself. But this update function s

It's a great idea, but I don't think defining the syntax of a programming language as a syntax.toml file will work for enough programming languages for this to be useful. You're basically rewriting the parser of your langua

This should not be legal. It’s not okay to conjure up some arbitrary scheme, consisting of five different cryptocurrencies, and sell the instrument as though it will always track the price of some stock. It’s not okay to say “well, we thoug

Thousands of companies have been hit by ransomware this year. If we were to accept your analogy that this is equivalent to thousands of mall bombings, I’d say making malls bomb safe would make a lot of sense.

What makes you think this attack was politically motivated?

What’s the alternative given that most small/medium-sized companies know very little about IT security? Seems to me like a centralized system is fine, as long as it’s properly designed and implemented. The problem is how a business can

PoS relies on the possession (“keeping secret”) of private keys. No matter what you do, private keys (information) can be stolen, including in a covert manner (in a way that no one discovers that anything has been stolen). PoW relies on har

They don’t need to be, but it gives the best security guarantees. PoS is subject to threats that don’t exist for PoW, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27672759 .

The threat model of proof-of-stake (PoS) is weaker than that of proof-of-work (PoW). For example, "initial sync" (a new node joining the network, needing to find the sequence of blocks that everyone agrees is the right sequence of

A Tether is redeemable. The terms say you may experience a delay, due to liquidity issues. But it’s still redeemable. Issuing a token, and claiming it will always be worth $1, simply by hoping that someone, somewhere will buy them for $

I wonder how often a C program does something wrong because of a compiler bug versus a program bug. I’d think the former is extraordinarily rare for e.g. gcc. Although, if you spend an hour studying every line of code (as is customary when

Market cap is the wrong metric to use. Tether is debt. Its entire market cap is redeemable in USD. It’s not possible to redeem the market cap of e.g. Bitcoin.

Good point. However, OP specifically said “cash”, not assets in general.
