The article says they’ve been doing this since November 2020. But I was mostly referring to how much crytpo they could really mine, since I assume the process has limited CPU, and a limited run time.

Would anyone be able to estimate how much money the attackers would’ve made doing this?

No, you have to book your appointment online.

The Hong Kong government here usually uses its brand name “Comirnaty”. The news uses every variation “Pfizer-BioNTech”, “BioNTech”, “Pfizer”, or often just “the German made jab”.

I don’t think that matters, if you’re the CEO of a company, and are doing business in a country where you’re obliged to give up your morals, then it’s up to you to either throw away your sense of right or wrong, or give up the country and s

While I agree, I think in most cases there is a “morally right thing to do”. If the laws in certain countries go against the right thing, then maybe it’s time to go against those laws. Of course that’s easy to say as an individual. For a co

From what I can tell, most HKers are looking at Canada, UK or Australia. I haven't really heard anyone talking about moving to the US.

Most BNO holders also hold either a HK passport or HKID, making it possible to leave in either way. China (and HK) not recognizing the BNO passport doesn't really change much for most people. I do believe there was a story here lately

If this person really said "it likely came from a lab", then i would agree with him being labeled as a conspiracy theorist. Because stating it like this also implies that you dismiss any other possible theory. There's quite a

A bit off topic, but anyone who ever played SnowRunner or MudRunner can probably relate. Quite often when you try to rescue a truck, you flip it over, and now require another truck with a crane to come over and load the cargo again.

I was also there, but in my opinion 1.7M was an exaggeration. Don’t get me wrong, there were A LOT of people, the whole area from Victoria Park to Tamar Park was packed with people. There was also a constant flow of people coming in from No

Am I wrong to think about “creators” as just businesses? If you’re not making enough money through your business, then maybe you need to reconsider your business plan. You know what you get on Youtube, you don’t have a contract saying how m

So if you want to make a quick buck, you find a good domain name, build a fintech, use the investor money to buy your own domain and let the startup die out.

by woutr_be 6y ago
This sentence kind of baffled me, surely the domain name isn't the deciding factor for whether your startup succeeds or not.

The whole concept is that you can transfer your stack (a digital version of your consciousness) between bodies. The show does touch on the issues of bodies, rich people can just buy them. Anyone else essentially has to wait for whatever bod

Just my personal opinion, but if you’re looking for a place to advertise your startup, then I doubt HN is the right place. Personally I come to HN because it’s one of the few places you can have a discussion and read comments without having

The whole visa hopping thing works, but it’s also fairly uncertain. I know quite a few people who did that in Asia, and have heard multiple stories about immigration catching on and them being refused entry. I personally migrated by finding

I don't know all the visa rules, of course. But if you're looking to relocate, you usually needs a visa, or some sort of citizenship. Sponsoring yourself isn't always an option, or might be fairly expensive. The easiest way t

You got banned because some automated system might’ve concluded you were a bot or spam account. You didn’t get banned because of the context of your speech. (At least not to my knowledge)

If HN removed your comment it could be seen as an exhibit A. But you being downvoted has nothing to do with free speech, you’re still allowed to say what you wanted, but if people disagree, they have the right to downvote you.

The only time I felt the pandemic affected me was when they closed the gyms. I was on a 5 day workout routine before, and suddenly being without that was the moment I started struggling. The gyms have finally opened up again two days ago, a

Was the rewrite to microservices really the problem here? I’ve worked on a few such projects too, where we decided to rewrite the application, but it never ended up replacing the old existing one. Technology was never the issue in all these
