That's true. I stand corrected. And having just entered the term 'homomorphic encryption' into Google patents it would appear the space is not very active at all.
Every single piece of law granting the US government authority on national security grounds has enjoyed bipartisan support for a very long time. I'm only surprised it hasn't been used like this earlier.
They already are. There were revelations just this week that Google has removed conservative media from search results in what would appear to be a direct effort to interfere in the 2020 election.
Dems are in a rough spot on this one, it will be hard to attack an action against an app with documented CCP/PLA involvement when they went so hard against FB for their inaction on use of the platform by foreign powers.
Place your bets, phishing or bug exploit. Some of these targets are too high profile to all fall for it and probably have teams that manage these accounts securely. Edit: 2fa was bypassed, interesting. https://twitter.com/tylerwinklevoss/status/12834920178892595...
It wouldn't matter if the courses are shared. Anybody in the world can now get access to the very highest tier of educational materials from sites like MIT OpenCourseWare. Universities sell credentials.
Reddit really had a good run as an interesting site, but it's really angling for a FB style consumer ad experience now. I think the final blow will be when they go after porn like tumblr did, then it will die forever. Too bad the alternatives are pretty extremist. I think Dread is really the best one because people who want to buy drugs on the internet aren't there completely for the politics.
If they can indict Assange for hacking conspiracy for a theoretical ability to crack a hash of a password with an unknown and possibly infeasible number of bits of entropy, the only lawful right the US government should have to encrypted data is the infeasible suggestion that cracking properly used secure cryptographic primitives is possible.
Are there any people trading on companies trading their profitability for moral righteousness? Many companies are doing poorly now anyways, but I wonder if it is actually possible to convert these types of actions into gains.
Looking back reading Manufacturing Consent at a young age was one of the most important things I did. It sets you up for a liberating life of zero expectations for media.
The only concession I want from the pro-censorship crowd is that they oppose democracy. If you want unaccountable private social media corporations to be the arbiters of what is allowed to be discussed so be it, but just admit that you hate democracy and that you are a die hard technocrat.
That's a fair point. I'm not defending Trump's tweet, but it seems defining violence glorification is arbitrary. It would be funny if Twitter adds a rule that says you can be an organization whose whole purpose is to make devices that kill people as long as you don't glorify making devices that kill people.
The service that hosts the accounts of all branches of the US military, all major weapons contractors, all three letter agencies, and many foreign militaries, governments, and world leaders guilty of all manner of war crimes, and this is where they draw the line for violence. Really interesting.
How can the "private platform so they can do whatever they want" crowd reconcile their views on election interference using social media in 2016 with this latest move by Twitter? If they can do what they want with their platform why did it matter in 2016 and why does it not matter now?
Somebody using the leverage exchanges (>100x margin exchanges) are liquidating the leveraged longs over the weekend after a several week long run up where people built large long positions. After a 10k close on Friday expect it to gap up to 10k Sunday night forming a reverse BART and making the players behind this move much wealthier.
It's an incredibly simple thing to screw up. I wonder where else they use low entropy random strings. I wonder if their password reset functionality can be brute forced too. Another problem is where they put rate limiting as it seems probable based on this article there are holes.
Long term large scale miners with massive reserves of BTC (you could literally get 50BTC for ten minutes of CPU mining on your laptop when BTC started) can crash the price on a whim with a small percentage of their reserves due to the lack of volume in the BTC market in combination with the liquidations from ridiculous amounts of leverage people are using in crypto (binance and bitmex are >100x to unqualified investors) which causes accelerated declines when the price drops even slightly. They can use this as a short term strategy to force miners with less profitable operations (higher electricity costs, worse equipment) to liquidate their coins at a lower price and cease mining temporarily allowing the more profitable miners to enjoy less competition and the ability to buy the coins at a reduced price. Even if the operation starts up again after the market pumps the superior miner has increased their proportion of coins allowing them to swing the market even greater, and sell coins to get better equipment (the newest bitmain miners), and the bagholders who bought the worse equipment or have more expensive electricity naively set themselves up for failure. The entire crypto space relies on long term pumping and dumping as well as short term "barting" to liquidate leveraged traders. I didn't even mention bitmain patent fuckery and the likely collusion of key players with the BTC devs to purposely not scale BTC to increase transaction fees which benefits miners. The whole thing is a disgusting mess and I don't touch it anymore. Do not fuck with cryptocurrency. It is entirely bought and paid for.
I have made a large amount of money trading cryptocurrency over the years. This correlation is spurious at best. These stories are so wrong it is hilarious. The price action of crypto is unlike any other market. What we have seen over the last month is massive legs down caused by whales flooding the market at specific times. These bart patterns are so obvious I can't believe people can't draw these incredibly easy to see conclusions. Crypto is pure manipulation. This coronavirus panic happens to coincide with a period right before the block reward halving where it is in the interest of miners to drop the price as much as possible as to make the mining operations of competitors infeasible leaving them with a larger slice of the mining pool.
There should be no shame in having a mental illness, but there are many mental illnesses that I would highly highly advise not disclosing publicly. It isn't a simple matter of discrimination, if you disclose that you have BPD or ASPD or are bipolar people will avoid you and view you negatively with actual reason, these conditions are absolutely devastating.
The open source community might want to think long and hard about ceding control to groups of people that proudly list their mental illnesses in their twitter bios (like actually, they really fucking do this). I predict a serious split in open source culture once people realize they have been played by narcissists seeking power.
Seems like a good time to get diagnosed with a personality disorder or some mental condition which legally qualifies as a disability and start making millions from discrimination suits.
If you create a program which provably generates all of the members of a specified set, do you own the copyright to a member of this set regardless of the runtime of your program?
The labor force participation rates for men and women are currently at 69.2% and 57.7% respectively. They arbitrarily exclude farming positions but cite mining, logging, manufacturing, transportation, and warehouse roles traditionally occupied by men. This article doesn't really seem to paint a full or accurate picture.
Does anybody know the state of the art for wasm tooling? I have used emscripten but are there any excellent 'higher level' tools? The worst part was writing the interface between the wasm and JS.
