This is that scene in all the casino movies where the person who found a system to win gets taken into the office by security and given a stern warning/beatdown.

74 million voters. This is not going to play out well. There's really no coming back from this moment, the technocratic elite have changed American democracy forever. Edit: I mean this in the way Snowden tweeted yesterday, it will be i

Yes and? Sci-Hub is a resource whose value transcends American IP orthodoxy and their contributions to Twitter are a gain for humanity. If Twitter can platform totalitarian governments that commit crimes against humanity why not a mere IP v

It's clear social media companies are in over their heads. I'm glad I don't use them and they need serious oversight. Just today Twitter allowed the promotion of genocide on what they would consider to be their tightly modera

How can somebody post that and keep their job? Is that how far gone American culture is?

It's a lot more than $2k for many, as with the exit tax it means paying capital gains tax as if you sold every single investment you hold.

What I mean is some technical explanation that it is Russia and how they arrived at the conclusion. Countdown to Zero Day had excellent explanations for attributing malware, I'm just wondering if there is anything out there about techn

Does anybody have any details on the Russia attribution? Not looking to start political flame bait here just curious what details are out there.

Yes, but don't waste your time with American exchanges, the regulations are too burdensome. Bitmex actually maintains a high score section, a lot of people are doing extremely crazy things trading in the crypto space https:/&#x2F

I thought copyrights on numbers were deemed invalid? Copyright applies to data as it appears right? You can encode a number in any base, the idea that a company has copyright on every base encoding is equivalent to me saying I have copyrigh

I'm actually tempted to get one of the new Macbook Airs. There's something intriguing and fun about navigating the brokenness of a new ecosystem. Does anybody know how Steam handles the new macs?

Canada infamously has some of the most corrupt and expensive telecom in the entire world. I seriously doubt this article is accurate. It looks like Trudeau is preparing for an election with empty promises.

And with a total lack of fungibility things could get even crazier with crypto. Imagine losing your house because you cashed out some BTC you got off of some guy you don't know for cash that Chainalysis says is linked to the Silk Road

What's fascinating is that it is the view of the state that the creation of a hard fork, which is the creation of new and previously non-existing coins according to how Bitcoin is taxed by the IRS, is considered to be the proceeds of c

So what is the actual story here? Some dormant coins that were associated with the Silk Road for which no ownership was established and nobody was prosecuted for has moved to a new address and the feds are laying claim to the coins? And wha

This is why when I need to proxy traffic I do it through an AWS instance in whatever region I need. Many services not only don't suspect AWS IPs as malicious, they might even have whitelists on their firewalls for AWS IPs.

The "under penalty of perjury" part of DMCA has always been fascinating to me. Has there ever been a single case of this being enforced against inappropriate DMCA takedowns? What's next? DMCA against Intel for making a chip t

This kind of mess is why I respected Wikileaks so much for all those years including the 2016 leaks. Leaking is an art that requires dumping verifiable and irrefutable documents to as many people as possible so they can independently invest

Not necessarily. Everybody knows the best way to move up in tech is to switch. Depending upon your options taking this offer and moving to another company where you make more is the best possible path you could take. Throw in the desire rig

The "ethicality" of any given program is a non-trivial semantic property. It follows that any software engineering "Hippocratic Oath" is an undecidable concept.

Does anybody know of any papers about attacking coinjoins? From what I understand Wasabi + TOR is still the gold standard of Bitcoin mixing.

Given that crypto is regulated as merely being property, it seems quite arbitrary to ask questions specifically related to it. Where is the Beanie Baby question or the question about my old Magic cards sitting in a box?

Free speech concerns on an app built by a nation where people have no rights that bans people for bringing up the Tiananmen Square massacre and Uyghur genocide, unreal.
