Oh no! The emperor's has no clothes!

http://www.levi.com/US/en_US/category/men/collections/levi-c... Why is this only in skinny hipster sizes like Slim Fit Levi's 511s.

Damn you malnourished SF hipsters (I guess you cant afford to eat with Bay Area prices, also you keep buying new phones instead of food).

Not 3rd parties, but their business model is based on affiliate payment from the banks/credit companies they recommend to you based on your data.

probably the PBOC, who will use it to 'buy the dip'

This sounds very exploitable.

* Fake account via throw away mail service * Block camera lens to blind computer vision with gum * Steal all the things

I did. I guess you have more info as you are an apple engineer and are breaking NDA?

Just wait. Id rather not even deal with these scenarios at all. Where is touchID?!? Why did they ship this without it!?

The good model -- with TouchID. Buy this one, not that FaceID crap.

I am not interested in the X model without TouchID. FaceID provides a less secure authentication method than TouchID.

* Sleeping victims * Attacker holds the phone to your face

Its not as simple as using the 'wrong finger'. You only have one face.

This is awful, Apple. What were you thinking?

What an interesting story and credits those who may be missing from the general narrative of codebreakers in WW2.

The impact of breaking NAZI codes and learning about the murder of your people -- without being able to act -- is a terrifying position for any human to be in.

Nah, this is wrong. BK has no influence over the WAVES blockchain. If they say, lost the private key with the ~1B whopper coins not in circulation, there isn't a person who can stop it. (baring ethereum style hard fork, and this wont happen in Waves).

For clarity -- this is not cryptocash or cryptocurrency. Its is a User Issued Asset (aka token) on the WAVES cryptocurrency blockchain. We typically call these 'cryptoassets' or 'tokens'. You cannot mine these. They are purchased via the WAVES network, in 'BTC' (which is another 'pegged' asset on the WAVES chain).

Edit; I bought one whopper coin 3 days ago via WAVES. I paid $0.50USD (majorly overpaid for it!)

No this isn't colored coins; Its a first class asset on the WAVES network. The protocol itself supports user issued assets (aka cryptoassets). Colored coins is a hack for bitcoin-like protocols that don't support native assets.

What is sketch? The page doesnt actually say. (I assume its some graphics tool).

Some of us not in facebook land have no idea what some of these things mean!

> This just allows them to decrypt it and inspect the source code

decrypt the firmware and inspect the binaries

even if every line was already jammed with the millions of new customers? Humans only scale so far.

I think coinbase can do a better job with support, but expecting the same quality of support as a heavily regulated and $T industry from a startup is foolish.

Yeah, I think I am confusing the two.

I suspect there are chemical compounds that when reacted can perform analog arithmetic. If you used that to create signing, hashing and propagation logic I dare say analog cryptocurrencies could exist.

Insurance on cryptocurrency holdings? might be hard to find a provider that would accept that level of risk and volatility. Would the premiums increase with the value of the BTC?

What if there just isn't enough bitcoin in circulation to cover the loss (there is a 21 million cap on BTC).

Bank robberies don't usually leave the bank with nothing :-) Exchange gets rolled, it might not even afford the claim.

Agree about advantage as being a great place to work vs traditional banks. They will attract better talent for sure.

Bitpay was cashing to fiat from unconfirmed bitcoin tx's? SMH

If its a bitpay to bitpay tx its all internal and likely didnt actually touch the bitcoin blockchain.

Yes, some of the chinese exchanges offer futures contracts.

The larger western exchanges offer leverage (and its other peoples funds earning interest, currently ~0.015%/day).

There is also mining contracts which are a form of derivative.

Also -- none of these deriv's provide any solution to volatility (possibly make it worse?)

There is no 1-2 second delay tho; bitcoin transactions take 1 hour to confirm. At best, you might have 7 blocks between receiving, sending and being credited on the exchange.

Of course, this is possibly things like Litecoin are more stable as you can 'get in and out' in 15 minutes.

Its also used to purchase other cryptocurrencies. Trades ride the volatility of USD/BTC, as well as the XXX/BTC. In extreme cases you have USD/BTC, BTC/XXX, XXX/YYY!

While there is a large number of LTC, BTC and ETH exchanged for fiat (USD, EUR, RMB, KRW); Most of the trades are between BTC and alts - https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/

Im sorry this happened, but you might want to get on to their security team, rather than the regular customer support queue.

Imagine if your bank suddenly had millions of new clients join in a 2 month period. I think they would stop answering the phone too.

a block is just a header, a ref to the previous block, a set of tx's and a nonce to satisfy the work function.

It being digital is just its encoding. An analog cryptocurrency could be carved into trees or anything.

Coinbase is positioning themselves to be the first legit cryptobank. Fidelity now feeds their customer portfolio data (on BTC, LTC and ETH holdings) from their user cold storage holdings at coinbase.

Its extremely risky to hold client keys that hold money. Making a CryptoBank is like making a regular bank on hard mode.

Friend, all the money is the world cannot undo environmental damage. Your tax dollars for gas are for revenue, not to offset environmental damage. Accepting this is very important.

If you have any doubts, throw all your greenbacks into a volcano and let us know if it stops erupting.

Why anyone would trust Juniper firewalls or VPN's after this incident is the question.

Against the advice of the cryptographer community, they implemented a known backdoored algorithm in 2008, and then let that backdoor be usurped by unknown attackers until discovery in 2015.

Every piece of code released by Juniper should now be questioned for back doors.

Except it really is a shitcoin. A scam to ensure that the mining pools can keep exploiting ASICBOOST. Ignore it and move on in life.

So the scenario becomes: a) use DNS b) use "central"-ENS, but if the domain is already registered now I have to sue some .ch organisation to unregister it. c) use regular ENS and live with whatever namespace entries are free

a) offers everything b offers, but its likely cheaper and has a real-world dispute resolution process.

Take a look at the grandfather of decentralized DNS namespace; .bit from namecoin. After 6 years it has not found its place in the internet name ecosystem.
