Can someone edit the title of this to say “tornado cash“? As a one-time contributor to the python tornado web framework, I had a bit of a scare waking up to see this!

Agreed. Using a dongle is a terrible experience. I had to buy a few cause they kept breaking for me. The primary way I listen to music on my phone is while walking around with my phone in my pocket. In addition, the lightning port can get d

Or maybe it is a mixture of both? Are you sure they don’t have covert people in all the very same positions? Does the CIA have its own internal museums, mapmaking companies, architecture firms? What buildings do their architects design? Emp

I’m glad people are finally catching on to this. The CIA has their tentacles in pretty much all aspects of society, and it has been that way for years. They have even admitted this openly: https://twitter.com/CIA/status

Yes, I agree, but it is a memory leak. It doesn’t START at 10GB. Also closing windows does not help much at all. To answer your question, I have a total of 73 windows open at the moment. 11 of them are from applications with a single window

I too have the problem with WindowServer although for me it seems to happen with just regular usage. I have not rebooted in 48 days, and currently it is using 10GB RAM (I have a MacBook Air with 16GB). I have seen some people claim it has t

Misinformation? What do you mean? One of the strongest ones? You mean they didn’t lose a lot of money as a result of the collapse? That is exactly my point. They were financing the lenders and offloading their own bad securities in secret w

Gotta love when the Hacker News crowd sides with Wall Street kingpin Jamie Dimon just to own Bitcoin. This guy became a billionaire thanks to taxpayer subsidized bailouts after the 2008 crisis while regular people lost their homes, and whil

Actually a sensitive product is exactly where this does NOT make sense. No matter how good their security is with their cloud version it will still be less secure than having a vault locally on your disk. That is a fact. Subscription serv

I agree that running it on top of another ledger like ETH or BTC makes no sense. That said, the idea of trusting a central bank that is completely unaccountable to the public or even to the Government is crazy to me.

Yeah. I agree that is not great, but it also is legal language and says “might be less”, not a guarantee. The way I would probably do it is always refund the equivalent U.S. dollar amount of the initial purchase. That may very well be what

This is a pretty terrible take. First of all it only applies to refunds. Second, if you are afraid of missing out on Bitcoin gains then DON’T BUY YOUR CAR USING BITCOIN. I have spent Bitcoin on things like web hosting in the past, I paid pr

“Trust the science” in the age of Covid is more or less a euphemism for “Fall in line and don’t question what the ’experts’ say”. When you look at what has happened to people who have questioned things such as lockdowns and mask wearing,

But the point that Palantir will still have a big pool of money to play with regardless of who is in power is completely valid. Over 80% of Democrats (in both the House and Senate) voted to approve the 2020 defense budget. I believe the num

This is the sad state of VC funding in this day and age. I can’t help but wonder if movie theaters could have exploited a similar loophole with MoviePass before they went bankrupt. Something like this: 1. Movie theaters buy up MoviePass sub

I agree there is a lot they left out, but as I posted elsewhere in this thread, I think the Times actually went extremely lightly on Bill Gates. It read to me like his PR team authored it. Seems almost like they are trying to get ahead of

Haha. I clearly do not have any experience in that area, but I guess that does make some sense.

This piece reads like it was authored by Bill Gates’ PR team. The Times has to do better than this. They do not question a single assertion and take it all as fact. > Ms. Arnold said Mr. Gates and the foundation had been unaware that Mr.

Unpopular opinion: I think a lot of people use charity/philanthropy as a cover to prevent scrutiny against other less than stellar things they have done. See Clinton Foundation, McCain Institute, etc.

What would be interesting would be to have a poll of which forms of energy people think lead to the most deaths and put it next to this. I have a feeling nuclear would be the top. The New York Times published an article that touched on th
