Looking at one of my servers that services an external address, I see about 100 IPs listed in the authlog file that are trying various passwords and such to break in. Its not even a main server (www, mail, dns, etc.). Of course, I use keys only for login, but it is a bit annoying. I guess I am getting quite a block list built.

So, does the author expect me to report all these IPs? Who would I send them to? Is there an easy reporting system? I suspect that any report will be treated like many police departments treat a stereo being robbed from a car, they'll give a incident number but not much else.

That is due to a shift in 1962 (although some irredentists, primarily in Europe, do still perform services in Latin).

Church latin was the working language of the catholic church. Services switched to Latin (from Greek) around 200, but as the church spread through Europe and the middle east, services were often in vernacular. Since this led to a lot of local interpretation and variance (many -- perhaps most? -- priests were illiterate at the time) by 1000, I believe, the popes started insisting that the priests use Latin and turn their back on the audience.

> That's interesting, my Cryptopia DOGE trading pairs (and LTC) beg to differ.

How?

> USDT is one of many trading pairs offered by crypto exchanges.

USDT is not a trading pair, it's a single cryptocurrency. The issues that give it a special role, both tied to it's USD peg, is that:

(1) It is sometimes treated as equivalent to, and commingled with, USD by exchanges (notably, Bitfinex), and

(2) USDT:<X> trading pairs, on exchanges that don't handle USD lat all, are often treated by the community as if they were USD:<X> trading pairs.

(3) The special role USD has in world markets.

Just because you have a hundred billion dollars doesn't mean it's worth spending it to try (and quite plausibly fail) to topple an entrenched competitor in a tangential line of business. Monolithic corporations are massively inefficient because the combination of wealth and bureaucracy is the recipe for waste. Let them give the money to shareholders -- isn't that why they were supposed to be in business? Then if it makes sense to invest the money in some other line of business, the investors will invest it in some other company doing that thing.

The fact is that smartphones are now a mature product. There will continue to be incremental improvements, but nobody is really expecting a future iPhone to be to the current iPhone what the original iPhone was to Blackberry. The market is now a cash cow. They have an existing technology and customer loyalty that they can milk for multiple years until increasing competition eats away at their margins, doing that is a profitable medium-term strategy, so that's a completely reasonable and expected thing for them to do.

They could invest their cash in some speculative technology and maybe get lucky, but so can their shareholders.
You either go with JSON because everything talks JSON or you go with something that doesn't have an explicit parsing step like flatbuffers or capnproto.

If you don't care about parsing CPU efficiency then gzipped JSON beats protobuffers, CBOR, etc when you care about bytes sent over the wire.

If you care about CPU efficiency then protobuffers, CBOR, etc are worse than flatbuffers or capnproto.

There is not a lot of space for a new standard between these two existing categories.

> In cryptospace governments want to ban things

American regulators default to permissiveness, particularly in the face of new financial technologies. Their laissez faire comment-and-wait approach to Bitcoin, ICOs and related events is not particularly jarring. But India's regulators are of the shoot-first-ask-questions-later variety [1]. Cryptocurrencies are a unique global phenomenon of immense regulatory restraint, not zeal. (This is probably explained by cryptocurrency's technical complexity, growth and metastasisation as well as some regulators having been won over by the pitch.)

I don't understand this tendency to promote subjective experience from a process occurring in a physical universe to some property which constrains the universe and knowledge itself.

I prefer to believe the universe exists and whatever is possible is synonymous with being physical law. Conscious subjective experience is one of those phenomena not excluded by physical law.

But then this article claims and you also seems to claim something like:

> But what if somewhere else some consciousness has intuitive experiences about numbers which differ from our intuitive experiences.

I don't see why minds with intuitions creates any burden for numbers. From my perspective Mathematics is at bottom a game of string manipulation. Interpretations of those strings often can be applied to understand/predict/manipulate the physical universe. But the only real thing is the universe itself not the subjective interpretations in the minds.

The minds are real, obviously, they exist in the universe. Integers are an interpretation of a particular string. Suppose some other mind is incapable of an intuitive understanding an interpretation that we as humans have; I don't see how the "integers" could possibly be affected.

None of us are concerned that dogs don't understand math. Why we be concerned about the minds of aliens and what they find intuitive?

How could openness coexist with adversarial SOE? Genuine question -- I think it's possible, but how?

For example, "Optimizers" currently have to guess at what Google is doing, but if the system was open source, they would know exactly.

For another example, modern cryptography actually benefits from openness. Is there a similar possibility for Search?

Someone I know used to be a fairly serious amateur photographer back in the film days. Did a lot of bird photos among other nature-related things.

You should look into a philosophy called stoicism. You have lost money, but it sounds like you still have your health. Many people would trade every penny they have and more to be able to walk, breathe, and live unencumbered. It's only money - you can make more. Things can always be worse, and always be better.
Steady on: firstly, this is not average Joe or Josephine here, it's a politician using Artists on Spotify and their music to make a political stunt, so it's not like Spotify have politicized anything. Secondly, the artists themselves complained about it, and somebody reported the issue to Spotify. Using musicians to promote an agenda they disagree with is hardly an innocent act when a politician does it.

FWIW, Spotify have denied deleting the playlist, so this may well be more publicity-seeking behaviour from the politician in question. The truth appears to be buried somewhat, but it doesn't look as bad as you suggest for Spotify...
I am not a financial advisor and this is not advice. Consult a professional.

First, completely ignore anyone who says “I think it will go <up|down>, so you should…” or “Sell when the time is right.”

Trying to time a momentum-driven investment and failing is what got you in to this problem. The first step is acknowledging that this was a dumb thing to do and that you don’t have any more skills at reading this market than anyone else (and some random commenter sure doesn’t).

Second, that matters because it lets you reach this conclusion: your current portfolio value is all that matters. You can’t undo the losses, but you have complete control of what happens to the remaining principal. You bought a very expensive lottery ticket, it didn’t win, and now all you can do is decide whether to buy a second very expensive lottery ticket (hold) or learn from your mistake and do something smarter, like actually investing this.

Ask whether, today, you can afford to have X% of your investable assets in a single asset. Based on your post, it sounds like X is a large number, maybe even over 50%.

Assuming you can't afford it, start here: https://www.fidelity.com/viewpoints/guide-to-diversification

Note that you don't need a plan in order to liquidate and hold cash. Don't get hung up on not having a plan; cash is a fine asset.

The other reason acknowledging to yourself that you can’t time the market matters is that, if you sell and then it goes back up, you shouldn’t feel any worse about it than, say, if Google’s stock or some random smallcap stock went way up and you didnt own it. You didn’t “miss out” on anything, you opted for diversification and predictability - that is, market-average returns - ahead of a lottery ticket.

(ObDisc: None of this is a commentary on cryptocurrencies, good or bad, only on taking outsized risks with money one can’t afford to lose without caring. OP’s remaining principal obviously is not that or s/he wouldn’t be here.)

Third, after dealing with the time-sensitive stuff, consider seeing a therapist to see whether some underlying issue led you to take this much risk. Not at all a value judgment, but taking huge risks with money you can’t afford to lose may be a manifestation of self-destructive tendencies or at least a sign that it’s time to make some changes in your normal life.
Good luck.

PS in case it makes you feel a little better: many people have spent a larger percentage of their assets self-funding a startup than you lost – and also gave up years of their life and opportunity cost to do it. Life goes on. The important part is to incorporate what you've learned into future decisions (starting now), and to assess what led you to do this in the first place.

> The whole purpose of Tether is to trade USD after Bitfinex lost USD banking relationships

This is willful money laundering. If true, everyone who ever beneficially owned USDT would be subject to federal money laundering charges. AML law doesn't care about intent or knowledge, just actions.

> if banking relationships were public, they would be at risk

Any bank which holds electronic U.S. dollars reports, directly or indirectly, to American regulators. Large deposits owned by foreign institutions with possible connections to Americans trigger FATCA filings. American financial regulators are somewhat forgiving when it comes to mistakes; less so when those "mistakes" are willful. If a bank is hiding its direct or indirect relationship to Bitfinex, they are betting the bank on Bitfinex. At that point, laundering drug money is probably a better reward for the risk being taken. (Disclaimer: None of this is legal advice. Do not launder money.)

> These are probably dollars pledged by corporations and hedge funds but held in bank accounts of those corporations and hedge funds, not in Bitfinex's name

This is plausible, trivial to demonstrate (repo and overnight wholesale financing aren't novel concepts), and a different risk model if true (for the lenders as well as Tether). It would also fly in the face of the Tether spokesperson's claim that Tether has a "relatively simple balance sheet."
Even more sadly, a significant number of Americans, even registered voters, living in gerrymandered districts do not even know the definition of the word "gerrymander."
A more-legal solution might involve invoking the “take-care” clause that requires the executive branch to “faithfully execute” laws. They usually get very wide latitude to (de)prioritize things, but requesting zero money and putting all work on hold might be on the other side of the line.

F# is an excellent language. I love tinkering with it. But its compiler is painfully slow compared to OCaml's, and that has a real impact on web development which is generally dependent on a fast tweak/save/refresh cycle.
