Your impression was wrong. Zhu Su of 3AC infamy had the evidence sitting on Twitter since 2019 and nobody cared. https://twitter.com/zhusu/status/1116945693946433536

Is there a good ToS/EULA diff site? It would be nice to see how and when these things change across many services.

With FinCEN Notice 2020-2 it's clear that the US wants to treat crypto as foreign bank accounts to coerce disclosure but that severely limits the scope of regulation they can do as it would place public blockchains as strictly not bein

This article is terrible honestly. Statements like "tracing a cryptocurrency that once seemed untraceable". Excuse me what? Who thought this? Idiots at three letter agencies? Pedophiles and drug dealers? Here's what the Bitco

Rapid7 has some very good datasets to play around with certificates. If you want a fun project try to find bad parameters. https://opendata.rapid7.com/ edit: looks like public access is gone now, that's unfortunate.

Everybody should browse the internet on Tor from time to time to get an understanding about how the web works on a second class IP address and a slow connection. On some exit nodes reCAPTCHA actually enters an endless selection where it&#x2

Theoretically the whole area could be turned into a dirty bomb with a few strategic strikes and it would be carried down a river destroying vast areas of Ukraine for millennia.

Many ISPs give customers much better download speeds than upload speeds. I remember personally having problems using bittorrent and seeding too much destroying the network for all using it.

This somehow reminded me, wasn't there a competition years back to see who could generate the most compiler error output with the least amount of C++? A few too many templates and you could generate terabytes. Edit: don't think it

Americans by and large aren't able to trade crypto in any meaningful way to impact the markets, unless they are an American institution operating on foreign exchanges. Look at trading volumes by pairs and exchanges. The US occupies a s

Trace your family ancestry and look for any types of citizenship by descent you are eligible for. If you can get another passport leave, then change your name and start fresh. If you have the means you could even try citizenship by investme

The 10 minutes also isn't accurate because the ability to obtain private keys from public keys would completely destroy the incentives of the Bitcoin network. Miners are incentivized and compensated for including transactions in a bloc

It never ceases to amaze me how incompetent some high profile criminals are. Encrypting a file is simply too difficult apparently. The entire purpose of crypto is that the exclusive holder of a private key cannot have funds seized. A 15 yea

Has anybody ever thought of something like a real world NFT? Imagine if you took a bunch of dried plant pigments and mixed them with oil and smeared them onto a canvas. Because it is physical it couldn't be duplicated or double-spent a

NFTs are essentially a technical fraud that combines the failures of DRM technologies with the failures of perceptual hash functions. Whereas blockchains provide a novel solution to the double-spending problem through distributed consensus

SMS-based 2FA needs to be eliminated completely. Authenticator apps need to come preinstalled as an essential utility on every OS. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of pressure to improve 2FA security.

Yandex is the most entertaining search engine. Not always the best results but it reminds me of Google from 2003. Just look at these insane results, not a single DMCA takedown or SEO spam result to be found https://yandex.com&#x2

Years back I did a couple hundred problems on this site. It's very good at making you learn about important results in basic math and algorithm complexity. It forces you to write your own library of efficient functions for factoring, e

The worst anxiety I have ever experienced was from a bad trip that caused intense panic and days of anxiety and paranoia after. Can anybody anecdotally attest to psychedelics helping anxiety?

It can be fun to look at high value addresses and see the quantities and transaction dates. Hard to say how many old ones are lost or if they are dormant long term holders. https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-a

The IP issues with the leak are interesting. There's got to be some Stack Overflow copy/pastes, perhaps some variable name changed license violating code, and I wonder if patent trolls or even rightful patent owners can now sue ba

I only use Youtube in incognito mode to avoid the Youtube algorithm and recently I think they have started to preserve suggestions between incognito sessions. Not in the way the algorithm usually works, but much more subtly. It's proba

Oh China is definitely cracking down on crypto, what I'm pointing out is that Western financial rags print the story late on expiry day to manipulate the market.

Some China FUD on the last Friday of the month that is an almost verbatim reprint of headlines printed a couple months ago... You surely realize the purpose of this right? Just look at all those 40k strike puts...

AWS is my favorite VPN in the few cases I have had to use one. Rent the cheapest instance in the region you want, then SSH tunnel your connection. Very simple and quick. Services never blacklist AWS IPs, in fact in many cases they have extr
