They already know where you are because of the GPS chip and mobile data. This is just the final step to find/fingerprint non-Apple and possibly non-internet connected devices. Think of all the interesting things you could do with a wor

So what's the point of LoJack now? This will probably bankrupt them. The most practical use for this product is hiding them in cars and tracking car thieves.

Rustls is still not formally verified. It may not have memory errors, but there are a lot of other security errors besides just that (and there may be more of them since it hasn't been used as much as open|boringssl has been used). It&

Headline is misleading. The whitepaper by the CIA director emphasizes that the US should not outlaw crypto, because China would then capture all the value that the US would miss out on.

We do see it though. There's Uniswap and Bancor on ETH. The trading volumes are in the billions of United States dollars per day. There is also Bisq as a decentralized fiat onramp for BTC and XMR (and soon on-chain atomic swaps). Today

It's not. All of the DNMs have switched to Monero already. Ransomware is also changing to Monero. Anyone using Bitcoin for illegal stuff at this point will be caught.

if someone "upgrades" the UI you just know it's going to be some Typescript/React/Electron monstrosity. so I'll keep the 90s look.

Yup, I've never heard of a fire taking out a Big Cloud DC. They actually know what they're doing and don't put server racks in shipping containers stacked on top of each other. If you want quality in life, sometimes you have

C++20 coroutines are not async in the standard. They are just coroutines. Actually they have no implementation. The user has to write classes to implement the promise type and the awaitable type. You could just as easily write a coroutine l

Rust programs can theoretically be fast, but most of the ones I've used are slow. I tried two high profile implementations of the same type of software, one in Rust and one in Java. The Java one was faster and used less memory. Rust pr

Why did polling have to be baked into the language? Seems bizarre for a supposedly portable language to assume the functionality of an OS feature which could change in the future. Meanwhile C and C++ can easily adopt any async system call s

You still need some way to distribute the git commit hashes so it's TOFU and less secure than Bitcoin.

Bitcoin whales manipulate the futures market. The liquidity is (or was, maybe) small enough that individual players can move the spot market in the direction they want in order to profit from a futures play. It doesn't take that much (

It's not. Tesla's stock price is driven by supply and demand. Even after a 5-for-1 split, there still is not enough float. Many shareholders are true believers.

The interesting thing about Parler is that the US government and its laws are neutral to it, but no US corporations wish to carry the liability of serving them--regardless of the money they offer. Legally, Parler could operate but no laws e
