That won't get you put on a watchlist. You have to a little more than access it. I bet that millions before this post was even created have accessed that document.
I would strongly encourage to pursue formal CS coursework even at a community college. Most coding bootcamps are very profit driven and not really interested in the needs of their students. He will be much better off in the long term.
indeed it is. I have read about cases where they have intercepted a target's cell phone at a repair shop and had it modified with an explosive device, then used it after the target had the phone back in their posession.
You can still eliminate the trusted 3rd party with other blockchain stacks. Bitcoin pioneered the concept as social experiment mostly that happened to become a currency by accident. The concept of a "Federal Reserve" and "the elimination of a trusted third party" are in direct opposition of each other, so Bitcoin doesn't even make sense from that point of reference either.
but why Bitcoin? It's flawed on so many levels (Proof of Work, hard to extend, etc). Why not actually engage DARPA, or some equivalent organization to research and properly design a cryptocurrency that meets and possibly exceeds the current requirements of the Federal Reserve. I'm laughing too, and how ignorant our gov is when it comes to technology. So many things they could experiment with: Ethereum and Hyperledger would be a good start.
When I was doing software at (In Flight Entertainment) IFE Vendor, people used the "Emirates card" to basically shift priorities at moment's notice. Emirates buys a lot of planes, and subsequently a lot of IFE systems, so they are pretty hard to ignore.
https://embedded.fm/contact , If you are brave enough to be on a podcast. Full Disclosure: not my podcast, but I have listened to it, and also took Elecia White's emmbedded systems course. I would love to hear you talk about it on that podcast. :)
DoD tried to do this in the 90s and failed. The CS program I was in used Ada for most of the lower division foundational courses because of the DoD mandate that all software developed for them be in Ada. DoD gave up in 2000 and said Ada was recommended because they got tired of processing waiver paperwork. My 1st 2 jobs Gov't contractor jobs '98-'99, 2001-2004 were in C/C++.
When I got married (20+ years ago), my dad painted (oil panting on canvas) of our engagement photo that our photographer took, and wanted to display it at our wedding reception. I asked our photographer at the time if it was ok, and he mentioned that his painting was considered "deriavitive work", so that he wasn't violating his copyright. Yea, I get he's not a lawyer, and this is just a single instance, but I hope the outcome for Kat Von D, especially since she didn't get paid for the tattoo comes out the same.
I used to work at one of the larger IFE providers and we always being asked to make the system as dumb as possible because flight crews hating supporting them. Not surprising to see this exists.
Costco is a weird one. They accept both for payment , but can only refund back to Visa. Source : Me, As I have personally experienced this at Costco in California. Maybe it's just this specific store/region
Not sure how they planning on enforcing reporting exceptions, since part of that rule is to use TikTok on campus, the device can't be connected to the campus networks (Wired/Wireless). So you have your own personal device, use cell data, why bother reporting it? Not sure if I agree with the ban to be honest, but it is very alarming how tech illiterate those that are writing the laws are.
Of course they do. The scam was in the misuse of customer funds, had nothing to with that the fact it was crypto. It already happened with fiat currency; guess everyone forgot about Madoff.
