Correct, I don't think the FBI is making up evidence about Marcus and they actually believe he's the creator of Kronos. Sounds crazy, I know.

I guess I am obtuse. I see this as the FBI believes Marcus created and sold/conspired to sell malware. This is illegal. Now we will see evidence and a trial. The responses are ridiculous. - Muslim last names ?? - US happily arrests

But he wasn't arrested for any normal thing a security researcher would do - he's arrested for creating and selling malware... big difference. The FBI could be wrong and that'd suck. I'm just assuming that the FBI and t

Ok... but what does that have to do with this article or these comments? In this case a banking trojan creator was arrested. He wasn't middle eastern, he wasn't arrested for using Tor, Linux, or Telegram.

Can you elaborate? Have you been creating malware (banking trojans) and selling it online?

I've read a few articles but I feel like I'm missing something. What's with the sensational quotes like "I had folks afraid that their own involvement in investigating WannaCry would get them arrested."? Everything

Did you read the article? > Prosecutors argued that Shkreli lied to investors in two hedge funds and the pharmaceutical company Retrophin, all of which he founded. Shkreli told investors he graduated from Columbia University, that his he

I don't follow. I just tested with my Google Home and it correctly told me my Coffee Maker was "off". Is this just a limitation of Echo?

This is insanely cool. Having worked with SystemJS + JSPM dependency hell in a large project I can't imagine making it all work this seamlessly in a browser.

Why would you want everyone's information made public? Do you see any value in anonymous (or semi-anonymous) discussions?

But most currency has a set (or slowly changing) value - a dollar is a dollar. Millions of people aren't going out and buying dollar bills in hopes that more people go out and buy dollar bills so that the value quadruples.

Well if he's an expert on investments then it qualifies him to make a statement on bitcoin as an investment. You don't have to agree, or believe him, but it's pretty easy to see that many people are throwing money at it in h

I'm not judging, I get every situation is different. It sounds like you're referring to a specific incident, 10 year+ relationship, things change, spouse is a drug user. Sounds awful. My opinion is still that one should leave th

Beholden to someone? Servitude? I'm simply saying that it's unethical to live off of someone else's salary, in marriage, while trying to find a replacement (it's called an affair).

Yes, it is still unethical. > Where it gets murky is if you don't have a job, you're stuck -- it's very difficult to leave your marriage without at least attempting to find someone else before a divorce. Are you saying tha

Dancing does pay... if you're good enough. Basketball doesn't pay either unless your good enough and personally I don't think Lebron James or MJ should feel guilty about it. Lucky? Sure. And back to your dancer friend, is

Yes, I didn't mean to speak for everyone - I'm sure many people prefer the living picture which has more emphasis on the body and less emphasis on the wings.

I guess we all have pet peeves but this one (while interesting) is a bit silly. Pillow designers are looking to create an attractive pillow that will sell - let's face it, a dead butterfly is more aesthetically pleasing than a living

AFAIK Google Home doesn't work with Amazon Music and Echo doesn't work with Google Play Music or Chromecasts.

I partially agree, seems a bit fishy but then again people OD at various levels. Seems like I read that someone had a 0.9% BAC which would be 2x the amount that would kill most people.

I don't follow - are you referring to this specific malware (which tbh I don't know much about) or ransomware in general? There have been plenty of ransomware cracks and decryptors released - programmers aren't perfect. htt

I think the main benefit would be that they have a better chance of getting paid. Developing an unlocking mechanism is technically challenging and takes time and money to implement. It also adds risk - if there's an unlocking mechani

Having kids greatly reduced my free-time to work on side projects (or actual work). Getting married reduced my ability to move anywhere anytime or take risks freely. Buying a house with endless projects has also reduced my free time. If
