Why don't we all have solar panels on our roof to generate electricity for ourselves?
Why don't we all have small farms on our properties, turning lawns into vegetable producing land for each household?
Why don't we have small datacenters on the property of each business, so the business users and IT folks can keep track of their own servers and data and applications?
http isn't the internet. al gore created a series of tubes, and other folks built protocols to share information through those tubes. http is one protocol
what would those companies do with the infrastructure in AZ? serve clients in other states? I imagine the AZ legislature would have some levers they could pull to make those existing datacenters less effective or more costly to run.
Also because the companies are beholden to shareholders and their financial best interest. cutting off millions of clients to make a political statement is not in the companies best financial interest and would likely result in a shareholder lawsuit.
Does anyone know what crime is being investigated? It looks like the malicious activity was sending spam text messages and forwarding international phone calls. Is there a federal regulation against sending spam messages?
Is it somehow illegal to have many sim cards in the same place as having many radios?
The telco's are also capable of bringing down the network, and they are legally allowed to turn their services off. Its not government infrastructure, its a business. If the backbone ISP providers decided to turn off their services for an area for a time, thats fine, there are contractual provisions to deal with that. its not a crime.
There has been no mention of arrest, was this 'crime' perpetrated by the infamous hackerman in ablack hoodie?
so the risk to the wallet holder is the exact same risk that exists for every single HTTPS connection right now?
Post quantum algorithms have been available. You can do it today. Why not for bitcoin?
In reality, there are very few current real world implementations. This article makes it seem that RSA is under active exploitation. If it is, bitcoin is not the first target IMO
like cash?
Loading up a single address with too many UTXOs degrades the entropy of a public-private key pair
does bitcoin or UTXO's somehow for some reason generate multiple PUBLIC keys for the same private key?
LOL. Worms come up to eat food, go down and poop. Poop forces remaining food and wormpoop (compost) up to the top.
They aren't pushing the teabags to the top, they're digging to defecate.

How are they compensating you for the expected work? If you can earn 50-75% of that compensation while working 40 hours a week, why would you go YC?
Why are you focused on YC/startups? Are you interested in the stock options, as a get rich quick scheme? Or are you interested in working during your life and being employed.
Working 60-80 hours a week is above normal and should be compensated as such. Startup stock is a huge risk.
Are you curious why the founders of a company spend 24/7 working it, and why they expect you to do the same? Well there you go, its the only thing the founder thinks about, and they want people to support them in that.
HOW ARE THEY COMPENSATING YOU. Thats the only thing that matters. If you make $1mil/year plus bonus, 80 hrs a week seems more reasonable.
The same government that divested DNS after owning it? For years, ALL DNS was run by the US government. They decided to hand it over to a handful of organizations so no one could control it. Now, it looks like we will all have different versions, the same activity can have hugely different outcomes.
there are a handful of ranges in IPv4 that are NOT globally unique. You're describing a much smaller set of IP ranges that are designed to be used+reused but not routable.
if you take someone elses public IPv4 address and they're using it, neither one of you will be functional, and they will come knocking on your door.

There is an enormous issue here. A service provider committed crimes against customers and their justification is the customers were using a protocol to exchange something. The service provider has no idea what the something exchanged was.
It's similar to arresting someone because they are speaking French. I don't speak French and I don't like people who speak French because sometimes French people say stuff I don't agree with. I don't know what they're saying but I hate it.

It took 3 years but the FBI published the names of the fellows they believe are responsible for breaching equifax and stealing private data about half of americans
Wu Zhiyong, Wang Qian, Xu Ke, and Liu Lei
Agreed this is a shill.
What are the financials of bank of dave? How many of his loans have defaulted? How does he analyze the risk he is undertaking?
What happens to Dave if 10% of his friends cannot or decide not to pay him back?
Why does Dave, an individual, have so many resources that he can support thousands of his friends schemes they couldn't afford? Maybe we look at the top down redistribution of wealth. There are so few people controlling so much money and influence.
I think its equally likely something would be toxic to humans
Are we following the rule of law here? We are talking about arresting bad actors, built on the fundamental principal of due process. There are rules to follow. If the department of justice wants to bring criminal charges against individuals or corporations, should the first step be 'sieze all assets'? When is the doj allowed to sieze assets, if we think its a scumbag foreigner but what if its an upstanding american tax paying LLC? Should your business be subject to immediate takedowns while the doj investigates and attempts to prosecute you?
Has anyone been convicted of anything? We are siezing control of personally owned assets under the presumption the responsible parties will be found guilty. That seems like a slippery slope.
Ford gave explicit instructions to imitate a copyrighted performance. Because that specific recording as owned by a record studio.
If you can describe a woman's voice and mannerisms and the result sounds similar to a copyrighted performance, that is natural circumstance.
If you want an example of purposefully imitating something with a copyright, look at GNU. Anyone who looked at the UNIX code was realistically prevented from writing their own kernel with similar functions. But if a handful of folks describe what the kernel ended up doing and some <random> guy in his own head comes up with some C code and assembly to do end up with the same high level functions, well thats just fine, even if you include the original name.
The details matter. There is absolutely enough vocal difference, it doesn't take an audiologist to hear the two voices do sound different but very close. It would not be hard for the producers to describe "a" voice and that description would overlap heavily with ScarJo, and wow the marketing team reached out to see if she would attempt to fill the existing requirements. When she said no, they found a suitable alternative. If the intent was to have ScarJo do the voice and she said no and they did it anyways, thats illegal.
