This really doesn’t add up. Who was performing these hard passport checks? An airline employee? Where was your flight originating from/going to?

You can travel without any ID just fine, evidence of EU (or EEA?) citizenship is sufficient.

I fly around europe on almost a weekly basis to and from a wide variety of airports. My ID has never been checked before security. I think maybe you’re confusing the checkin where you might show your passport with an ID check? You can compl

Freenode didn’t even exist 20 years ago

This wasn’t even remotely similar. Those EU countries didn’t allow the plane into their airspace, encouraging it to land in a third country to refuel. Belarus called in a fake bomb threat and used their fighter jets to force a passenger fli

Yeah, this case is. The Morales case wasn’t.
339.
by ryanlol 5y ago
Not really, that plane was forced to land by not allowing it enter certain airspace. Very different from having fighter jets intercept and force a plane to land. Shameful? Maybe. Hijacking? No.

By whom? Googling that term shows that it’s not widely used and brings up cars like aston martin vantage and bentley continental gt, which are certainly luxurious and could reasonably (the bentley less so) be described as sports cars. Can y

by ryanlol 5y ago
Look, I think we both can agree that nobody would describe a mclaren s720 with bucket seats as luxurious. It’s a sports car. These cars are luxuries, but it doesn’t make sense to refer them to as luxury cars unless they’re actually luxuriou

by ryanlol 5y ago
Yeah, the electric lotus elise is totally a luxury car.

by ryanlol 5y ago
Some luxury cars are fast, not all fast cars are luxury cars.

by ryanlol 5y ago
The Roadster does not exist. Model S competes with low end german cars when it comes to luxury, but is priced on the same level with S-class.

How does Maker for example not create any value? They’ve built a decentralized USD-pegged token, how is that not worth something?

This is not correct. But if you are facing federal charges you probably do not want to do that.

Compared to just deploying totp normally as a PAM module this is a horrible idea. Much harder to ratelimit, much cheaper for the attacker to bruteforce codes. It’s neat for sure, but not a good defense.

Is it though? It seems that this was all initiated by freenode staff trying to walk back on the deal Christel made with rasengan, forcing his hand.

NYSE does the same when there are big drops. If there was a 20% intraday drop in SPY they’d halt trading for the rest of the day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trading_curb

So what’s the point of restricting ransomware payments then? Only organizations that can’t hack it in the modern economy will be affected anyway.

This is strictly not true, Tether makes trades on exchanges in order to maintain the peg.
357.
by ryanlol 5y ago
As long as Tether maintains the peg on exchanges you can cash out, this is no different than cashing out directly via Tether

by ryanlol 5y ago
The TOS is pretty meaningless given current exchange volumes. If you somehow ended up with billions of dollars in tether you’d have no difficulty cashing it out to usd.

Oh nonsense, that was well established to be an edit of the binary. It’s obvious the GRU didn’t have the source code. The idea that this was an example of the GRU working with criminal hackers is plainly ridiculous. https://blog.
