When I saw what community this article is posted in I almost choked.
Maybe, I don't know enough about him, but I will say this: Nobody fits my definition of "people who work hard" better than Euler.
When someone says "He's an unbelievable genius," I now understand that the person speaking is either a con artist or a gullible idiot. Unbelievable geniuses don't exist, there's just specialists, people who get lucky, people who work hard. So if you're saying someone is such a genius, either you have no metric by which to measure genius, or you're selling something.
“I think Cullen made the Satoshi accusation for marketing. He needed a way to get attention for his film.”
Cullen is absolutely selling something: he's selling his documentary.
The various denials and deflections from Todd, [Cullen] claims, are part of a grand and layered misdirection.
Smells 100% like bullshit. I had no take on this documentary one way or the other before, but now I'm very skeptical.
Ok but if you see sliced croissant loaf, fucking buy that shit, buy two, immediately. I don't even like to shop any more at places where they don't sell it.
With as much bad faith antisocial sociopathic shit Mark Zuckerberg has done, I truly don't understand why anyone would use anything associated with meta. He's Elon Musk with more experience at being.. that.
Bluesky isn't going to be the savior of social media, but with the death of Cohost it's the least bad option available.
This is gospel truth.
I highly doubt they did anything remotely like "hacking" the seed phrase. I don't care for cryptocurrency, but I hate cop bullshit even more, so here's my 2 cents.
or just found it written somewhere in the house?
this one.
A seed phrase is just an encoding of a long binary number which can be used to derive the secret key. Trying all the possibilities probably isn't possible, and I think it's also unlikely that they found a way to weaken it. What they probably did is find it and type it in. They DID raid the dude's house, where he was probably keeping a copy of it.
"Twenty or thirty years ago, police did not hack, that was not a thing that they did, but that's very much part of the bread and butter of a modern police force nowadays," Mr Uren said.
LMAO fuck off with this. I don't doubt they have some tech guys on hand. I don't think they have access to the quantum computer you'd need for this.
You'd rather be the person who decided to randomly unmute to share your actual factual filthy self? At least a soundboard is just a poorly judged joke (that actually landed, if the teacher laughed). Or you can be a fart pervert.
A fart that serious wouldn't seem real, and that goes double if it appears that you unmuted specifically to make the noise. Just tell people it was a soundboard.
I did get a chuckle out of this though:
The facility will need to be fully restaffed
Yeah, it's been 45 years, I don't think those folks were waiting around for the place to reopen.
Jesus Christ.
Look, I'm in favor of nuclear power. We have new designs that are much, much safer than the ones that failed back in the 80's. Even so, we can get a Fukushima event; not world-ending but still pretty terrible.
The thing is, no matter how safe the design, Microsoft and other companies dialed in on greed--especially companies for whom power generation is not their core competency--can be trusted to cut corners until those safe designs become dangerous again.
And Three Mile Island WAS NOT A SAFE DESIGN.
What the fuck are we doing?
