I think it's covered under that "right to life" section of the Constitution. Deliberately poisoning people through their water supply seems like a sure-fire way to deny the right to life of your citizens.

My point is: Don't try to reason with them. Their minds are as closed as a MAGA.

I said "Don't try to reason with them. Their minds are as closed as a MAGA."

Don't try to reason with them. Their minds are as closed as a MAGA.

Tradesinsight? Plural? Because tradesinsight is a DNS not found, but tradeinsight.info will notify me when Nancy pelosi and other Congress members trade.

Always make sure you get that name right.

Email seems like a no-go here. It would feel like spam. If you wanted a something more conversational, I'd consider doing this over text messages.

I'd suggest no one should investigate. So you lost your Bitcoin from some massive fraud? Too bad. That's the cost of playing that game. You should not get a free pass when you ask your government for assistance, and you should not have your government investing time and money looking into massive fraud concerning Internet Fun Bucks. You assume all risk when using this kind of money.

No value?!?!? You anti-sex psychos are just nuts. Porn is both valuable and useful.

I'm happy that opinions like yours are the minority, and people like you are seen as prudish freaks.

> In particular, anything that needs regular updates is not "firm" in any sense.

It's really not about the updates that makes something "firm". Hardware is hard because it's a real physical thing. Software is soft because it's a non-physical thing, a set of instructions. Firmware is firm because it's less physical than hardware, and is more physical than a set of instructions. Firmware is software, in that it's a set of instructions, but additionally it needs to be loaded or flashed or programmed into the hardware, and stored either on-chip or in some ROM or NVRAM nearby, differentiating firmware storage from software storage on disk, tape, or some other peripheral storage. At the time, this made pretty clear sense, but over time, things were made murky by multifacted uses of NVRAM and peripheral storage.

So, "software built into hardware" is a pretty good definition. When you say something isn't firmware, it's software, that seems mistaken. All firmware is software, not all software is firmware. The size doesn't matter. Whether it's an application or a device driver doesn't matter. What defines the "firm" part of firmware is whether it's "built into the hardware". That's it.

So, yeah, you're having a definition problem. If you keep whatever definition that you currently have, then you're gonna have a bad time. If you try to "draw a firm line somewhere between the code in a tiny microcontroller running a battery charger and the operating system running on a general-purpose application processor", with this new definition, the question becomes "where is this code stored?". It doesn't matter how large it is, whether it's 100 lines of code in your battery charger or 1,000,000 LOC for your OS. If it's in on-board storage, it's firmware. If it's in peripheral storage, it's software.

Never underestimate the incentive of sucking up to management.

I think we shouldn't forget the real stars of that movie, Maury Chaykin and Eddie Deezen, both playing epic nerds. Jim and Alvin were my heroes. Not so much now.

Bitcoin is neither your wallet nor your bank account. Some people want to treat it like a wallet, others like a bank account, others like their account on a stock exchange, others as an investment vehicle, others as a hedge against the dollar, and I'm sure there are other comparisons that make sense to people. Ultimately, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, which has both it's own unique benefits and it's own unique foibles.

... and I hope you realize that your bank account CAN be completely drained without the money being recoverable. If you're trying to say it can't, then might I suggest to watch some scam-baiting videos to see how those scammers operate, and how they try to do exactly that to the elderly and the unaware. You can call it a bug all you want, but it's quite possible to have your bank account drained; and, despite what others in this thread have said, an attacker can do that from thousands of miles away.

I've watched this video a few times, and I recommend the part at 25:43 which describes agility. To repeat it here:

1) Find out where you are 2) Take a small step toward you goal 3) Adjust your understanding based on what you've learned 4) Repeat

I think this is useful as a high-level guide, and it's both easily memorizable and generally memorable. I use a silly mnemonic "FI-TA-AD-RE", and I come back to it whenever I'm working and get to a point where I have to ask myself "What the hell am I doing?"

There is also an incentivization problem here. For every person that they get onboard, “Worldcoin will allow everyone to claim a free share of it.” That share is worth $0.07 in US dollars today. If I don't think it's worth 7 cents to produce my iris data, then the best strategy is to wait until the coin goes up to my price point before entering that market. It makes the most sense to hold off until the coin hits $65,000 US before getting the "free share" and immediately converting it into another currency.

I remember that the binary for L0phtCrack had some sort of software protection included with it, and it took a 1-bit change to be cracked, itself -- a 0x74 to 0x75, iirc (or 0x74 to 0xEB if you're a stickler for doing it right). I don't remember exactly what the protection was, maybe there was some sort of password count limit or time limit. It was a long time ago. I just remember being a little disappointed that it was that easy.

The government never said that masks don't work, because "the government" is a thing which does not speak. The former US Surgeon General, Jerome Adams, who was appointed by the former president, claimed that masks don't work in his now famous tweet "STOP BUYING MASKS". Fauci did not say this; Fauci instead said that for several reasons "there’s no reason to be walking around with a mask" at that time. The White House Press Secretary was absent, so there was no comment from the former president's Press Secretary. Which of those voices, or lack of voices, or any other voices, would you say qualify as the statement by "the government"? Unless you're a 2-dimensional South Park "nutter" character, you should realize that "the gubbmint" does not share a single voice, if it has a voice at all.

If you're treating the government as a solitary nebulous entity, then accountability goes out the window. It's important to keep the individuals that make up the government accountable and responsible, as President Biden has with Jerome Adams, who is no longer the Surgeon General. Accountability is also why Fauci still serves as the NIAID Director of the NIH.

SWIM once said to me: Funny thing about those System 75's, the entire ordeal originated from the hack of a bank's telephone system, who had a small Unix UUCP network and, for some odd reason, put all their System 75 logins and passwords into their Systems file. The default login information leaked out after a hacker named Syadasti announced that he was willing to turn any System 75's given to him into usable remote PBXes, and eventually some other hacker (Scott Simpson, maybe? don't know) set up a system on his own home line that responded like a System 75 would, and gave Syadasti that number. He promptly tried to login with the cust/rcust accounts, which were recorded by the other hacker, which led to the explosion of System 75 hacks throughout the US.

When I first heard the lab leak hypothesis around Feb or March 2020, it was entirely non-partisan and was being investigated by people who had no skin in the political game. At the same time, some other politically-motivated people were claiming that the virus was both a "democratic hoax", and a "bioweapon" made by China and deliberately released on their own people so that it could be blamed on the US and embarrass the US President. Now, those same politically motivated people are tying themselves to the lab leak theory, because none of their other nonsense panned out.

I'm surprised that people had forgotten this already. You don't hear much about a "democratic hoax" or a "bioweapon" nowadays, but those words were a part of the conversation a year ago.

Note that the phrase "politically motivated people" was substituted for the original term "whack jobs", which I think is more appropriate; however, your asked me to use "non charged terms", so I did my best.

It didn't make the cut? It certainly should have. I vacillate between Doggy-coin, and using a long O, something like DOE-gee-coin (as in "Get along, little doggies", which is sometimes sung with a long O). The use of Doje-coin always seemed silly. The mascot is a friggin dog, not a doje or a dozh, whatever those nonsense words mean. Stick with Doggy-coin, it make the most sense.

> This turned a health debate into a struggle for rights: "We're all in this together" vs "99% let me take my chances".

If that really is the case, then it IS an education problem, except they failed their civics class. Civics is a balance of civil rights and civic responsibilities, specifically, the responsibility that you have to your fellow countrymen. Not killing your fellow countrymen falls high on that list of responsibilities.

If he's an IBM employee 100% of the time, then I expect he's only getting paid for 33+1/3 % of his workday. I hope he demands the other 66+2/3 %, granting, of course, a 1 time exception on lack of payment to make this change.

Ooh. I forgot weekends.

>so what exactly is "ownership"?

Really? Ignoring the philosophic debate, ownership in terms of BTC deals with the capacity to modify the ledger using an agreed-upon protocol -- but you already know this, and I don't know why you're asking that question. What do _you_ think ownership means in terms of BTC? Do you think you can implement a public system for ownership of digital assets without a distributed consensus system? Or Verifiable transactions? Maybe you can, and if you do I'd love to see it. Good Luck.

>So... who owns it?

The person who has the key.

> what is that actually useful for?

Ownership. It's the difference between "I own 20 quatloos because the Bank of Endor says so" vs. "I own 20 quatloos". It supports actual ownership instead of representative or proxy ownership.

In the same way that you can have $20 in the bank or $20 in your wallet. When it's in your wallet, it's actually yours and you own it. When it's in your bank account, then you don't actually own it, you must trust that your bank will do the right thing and give it back to you when you ask for it. That level of trust has been wavering for decades.

Remember that Bitcoin was started as a rebellion against the "second bailout for banks".

I looked at the Jacob Blake video. You said 'He came at the cops with a knife.' If the video is accurate, then that is untrue. There was no provocation by Jacob Blake with a knife or any other weapon shown in that video. He was shot in the back multiple times while getting in to his car, and there was no knife in his hand when the trigger was pulled. It's possible that he may have possessed a knife or that there was a knife in his car, but there was no imminent danger to the police officer when the officer fired 7 times point blank.

That you can speak this untruth so casually is discomforting. You appear to believe the lies that are being spouted by someone who is attempting to defame Jacob Blake, without ever having evaluated the original video. If you had seen the video, you never would have made the claim that "he came at the cops with a knife." Who was this person that lied to you in this way? It would be useful to name and shame this individual or group.

Please watch the video, reassess your claim, and cast your doubts upon these people who told you this untruthful story.

The original text from the parent post is "Butler, at the University of Florida, said making an IP address that appears to come from elsewhere isn't that complicated."

There is no specific mention of IP Spoofing, so I wouldn't assume that. By far the easiest method of making an IP address appear to come from somewhere else would be a proxy, but it's never precisely claimed, because that's not how rules of evidence work. The burden of proof is on the prosecutor, and we don't know exactly what is being alleged, nor how it will be defended. I assume that the search warrant is somewhere on the Internet, but without at least the warrant to add context, we fart into the wind.

I was disillusioned by Princeton's Algorithms course when I took it. I felt like I was fighting too hard with eccentricities of Java than actually learning about algorithms. In retrospect, I was wrong, because one of the things I realized that it taught me was that implementation details of algorithms are _hugely_ important, and can cause drastic differences in time and memory utilization. I can easily forget the details, but I haven't forgotten the experience of hacking out my stupid mistakes until the implementations fit the requirements.

I can't speak for kerabatsos, but when I see something like "How my paid community made $5K in it's first week", I tend to automatically add "... and YOU CAN TOO, with my special patented secret methods!"

Writing like that is bait, because it will generate money from marks without even verifying whether the claim is true. If I take the bait, then I'm a sucker, and I'd rather keep my money and not be a sucker. To turn phrases in that way is sensationalism, and while I'm sure it works for you, I believe it trades short term cash for long term trust. When the next sucker finds that he can't reproduce your results, there's a good chance he'll feel shafted.

Just to confirm: Yes, that works fine. It's probably the better solution here.
