It's easier than ever for people to moonlight as a spy and get away with it. You'll probably only get caught if your adversary has the means and motivation to counter. Most people in civilian/domestic situations are unable t

No, just suggesting the arb opportunity existing at all helped reel in price. I believe this was the intention. Sounds reasonable, thanks for clarifying and correcting.

Yes, the futures price settles daily based on the reference rate. Eventually such correlations become more efficient once you have a real market. (As another poster pointed out it's still thin).

It's not technically incorrect to say there is manipulation in the US markets, but comparing bitcoin exchanges to US exchanges is a bit laughable. The US Federal Reserve has (had) what amount(ed) to a printing press, associated with &q

Bitcoin topped out as soon as the futures went live. Massive contango on a regulated futures market may have been a factor in "reeling in" price. The spot market is so thin that it didn't seem to take much open interest in

In the US, one can fill out a police report, but that doesn't mean that the police will opt to press charges. If one contacts the police to report a crime, they still need probable cause to press charges. As for witch hunts, folks do

Your reasoning has merit, of course. And, that's a sad commentary on the current state of affairs, in which one cannot trust a firewall appliance to do its job. Perhaps the movement for open source hardware should focus on minimal sec

Wasn't there also a conspiracy in Portage La Prairie whereby the government secretly dumped chemicals on its citizens, as part of some experiment?

I'd speculate that, after such an age of barbaric experimentation, new and supposedly more innocuous methods that don't require physically detaining/restraining a subject have long since been conceived, implemented, and tried

Do any modern day entities (governments, corporations, other) perform ostensibly mild versions of such psychological experimentation, possibly at scale, or with the intention of scaling? This occurred decades after an ancestor of mine was P

This is disheartening to hear. One can only imagine the number of sufferers who have become estranged from loved ones because of similar circumstances. It's not difficult to understand why the loved ones had to cut them out, either.

I had edited/removed the comment for a reason, so your revival of it via inaccurate takeaway isn't particularly appreciated. In light of the responses, I re-considered whether it was best to keep such information here, but you&#x2

No, that's not true, the argument for a backdoor isn't purely technical. LE's perspective is almost certainly predicated on a universal (amongst the good) desire to reduce suffering. This part is downplayed or ignored. Can

Agree 100% about carefully considering consequences of crafting a skeleton key into our most prized technologies. The tech community, at least the most vocal subset in these parts, can keep pushing back against LE's cries for such a k

The number of leaks and breaches shows there's a serious problem, but keeping keys secret isn't necessarily implied to be near impossible by consequence of this.

Didn't they respond to this already? Spying is what they do, and as far as I recall, the consensus is that they do need, per their mission, to hoard some degree of zero days, but that they should not hoard so tightly. If this under

Facebook is a mixed bag as far as being a model of good behavior on many things. The company is founded on irresponsible social principles. For how long did general internal employees have access to users' private data? This is no l
