Readit NewsI don't understand how we should trust a company we know nothing about other than the text they put on their website which basically means nothing.
It's right there in the first paragraph: they didn't cooperate with French authorities, but were ordered by Swiss police to assist.
But I would posit that it is possible that constant exposure to people in your network's achievements (or appearances thereof) can elicit emotions that have negative consequences over long periods of time. I think tribal species probably have an innate function of trying to sort and rank members for various purposes, and maybe that program can get overloaded.
I would read this as a cautionary tale against renting your cars. If you can’t buy it, don’t! This holds true for any depreciating asset.
The fact that they can determine all this from some binary is amazing. Security researchers really are techno-archaeologists.
I find this argument a little weird, because I think we can all agree that bubbles and fad tech isn't really great for society as a whole. If you believe cryptocurrencies aren't a fad and actually provide useful benefits to real people (which does not include "we built a company that does crypto stuff and made a bunch of money"), then ok, fair opinion, but I don't share that view. To me it just looks like a big house of cards built on something that is fundamentally not that useful or valuable, but is propped up mainly by speculation. Building a company on top of it that is sold for $400M is great for the founders and investors in that company, but doesn't mean that crypto itself is useful for society.
I apply this to other things, too... there are ton of lucrative, successful businesses built on top of and around internet advertising, but I think that entire ecosystem is a huge net negative for society.
Specifically, the overflow is in the upper limit of the text selection buffer when characters are combined in UTF-8.
Spending money will remain economic decision until we can have government agencies fueled by the righteous indignation of their critics rather than having a line item added to their budget. Until you can convert that indignation into legal tender, agencies will remain subject to old fashioned accounting constraints.
I do not want all my USB-C cables to support the maximum 40 GBps speed (or whatever it is). That would require them to have all the 19 wires and shielding and all and again, would make them expensive and short.
And just imagine how much a 90W maximum speed 3 meter cable would cost...
I prefer having one power cable, one fast cable and then a bunch of disposable cables for general use cases.
