No, "Satoshi" is dead. No clues will be dropped here. No one is going to tell you who he is.

Fuck you Steve.

You have no magic but the mods and the users. Better is on the way and the great migration will begin. You rose from the ashes of Digg. This will be no different.

Y'all probably should know better than to double down with devs. Lame.

it is very meh. let the others throw billions at the fad.

Why the FFFF should this be a subscription? Elon is desperate for Twitter to have cash flow every month, but FB doesn't need to do that... You don't STOP becoming who you say you are... Just charge a $100 one-time fee, I bet they would net a lot more revenue and it would be a "we're better than Elon" moment for them.

I am sure you want to know. but no. stop asking.

Right after Alphabet decided to actually stick with the google cloud offering (for however long they actually do) last year, they bought out Alooma and made it google cloud only. Well, we were depending on going with Alooma for basically all our ETL orchestration and Data Integration orchestration. I won't say who "we" are, but its sort of a big deal to anyone in the United States who cares what kind of government you have and I'm super pissed about it.

Also another side of "we" IS on Google cloud for their data warehouse and I'm so pissed off they went that way because of course they'll just fold it one day when they decide its not worth it to compete. And so then it's going to be a disruptive pain in the ass, especially for the hundreds of staffers I'll have to retrain to use Redshift or something else later who are learning google's bullshit query language for big data.

Do no evil, my ass.

You seem to be hung up on what is legal and required in the United States. It's a big planet, my friend.

You definitely have missed RMS' entire point on the thinking about patent law needs to be dealt with separately from copyright law. He specifically writes to credit Boldrine and Levine arguments on patent law - NOT copyright law.

Without the paywall: The study was performed on the Jaguar Supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratories http://softerrors.info/selse/images/selse_2012/Papers/selse2012_submission_4.pdf

I wish I could say more... yes.

I microwave any RFID they dare to put in my papers. So should you.

"oh? no workee? I have a magnetic personality. Electronics just fail around my person."

um, this counts as cracking their encryption. Just because you can't efficiently perform a "cleartext" digital translation (it is analog sound...) doesn't mean you can't read the message.

And now that Microsoft has bought them for 8.5 billion: LMAO.

Fuck you Ballmer.

What's the next hottest crack target? THIS. Obviously it will be owned, and abused for spam.

Either that, or it will be owned by a ~11yo and everyone, everywhere will get "an urgent message form the president" which is actually a picture of his thing. * or hers; equality.

Is there a rule # for this? Surely there is? If it has eyeballs, it will be spammed, or porned.

And somewhere is Rule #1337: If you build it big enough, it will be cracked in an inversely related fractional amount of time it took to 'perfect'.

ColdFusion for systems management automation?? What the hell? that's so off-base, I'm offended. Whatcha going to do, install coldfusion on EVERY system you are going to automate? Bizarre.

The sad lack in modern education is history. One reason our modern politics is so thoroughly screwed up is that a high quality understanding of history has been lost to the general population for a century.

I was looking hard to see if anyone had a glimpse of why greek and latin are important to education. You almost nailed it.

We've lost the art of teaching of how to think. The gentlemanly Greek and Latin were taught towards skills in reading texts, not in conversing to Joe Greek on the street about how he feels today; the pupil is then empowered to read many great and early works documenting the foundation and thought, and its progression, that form the fundamentals of our knowledge in philosophy, government, sciences and mathematics. Reading the literature of the time in the original source language conveys the subtext much more fluidly, thus enabling full comprehension. Individual languages are colored by the culture speaking it: Much is lost in translation. If you are to understand how to think, and achieve parity with where we have already tread in thought, then you need to understand first-hand how we arrived at the present knowledge, complete with the traps and tangents, not just the right answer. You learn how temporary some right answers are, giving you the humility and perspective to grow beyond the works of mankind thus far.
