Please correct me if I am mistaken, but couldn't this have been implemented into an iframe that when ran could send the passwords to another remote server?

If so, I am a little taken back by LastPass only offering $1,000 to the researcher that found and reported it for fixing. He or she could have taken a different path and resulted in this being used in some complex targeted attack against tech corporations via short-url redirect interstitial pages, or an ad network's javascript, etc. Given the potential damage, I'd say there is a missing zero or two on that reward amount, in my opinion.

ASN.1 parsing in implementations of several different standards have had this class of issue for well over a decade. ip phone and software stack vulnerabilities in, for example in asterisk, specifically for ASN.1 handling have probably been used by our intelligence community for a long time. The safe implementations are probably ran in virtual machine languages.

Blue Jeans solves this at scale, with higher quality than WebRTC alone, while also supporting video conferencing equipment joining the same meetings.

Transcoding is tough with unique views per client, but audio processing is tougher. :)

In thread-per-connection server applications, the concurrency is exactly the number of threads spun up for the pool of connections. In node, it achieves that concurrency without a thread pool for the connections themselves, and thus you get less resource usage (memory mostly) for the same number of connections as the daemon scales up.

Node's real draw, aside from pretty easy concurrency, is the package ecosystem.

Considering the artist says they were lost by the scientist manning the electron scanning microscope accidentally placing his thumb on the glass, and didn't mention what the scientist team that created the sculptures thought of this (or if they could make more), I'd lean towards hoax story. There are several other glaring inconsistencies in the artist's story.

He just says to trust him that they were there, and that people love to hear stories :)

Unless your work hours are being explicitly questioned, you perhaps are being a self conscious to the point of being unhappy. There is also a difference between being physically present for 12 hours and being productive. I don't think anybody would for a minute guess you are productive for 12 hours. If you actually are, you are way more valuable to the company than they are paying you and they would be damn fools to fire you. (And you shouldn't even try to be that productive).

Is your work tracked in any fashion, such as Jira?

Milton Friedman is famous for saying the inflation of the dollar is exclusively controlled by the FED, but that isn't 100% true today. There are other branches of government that capture back large amounts of the printed paper from operations that are illegal. So in a sense, the "war on drugs" could be keeping inflation lower than it would be without it. For inflation to be felt the money has to be in circulation. Also, when the US broke away from the gold standard and printed a lot of money for police actions, it took about 10 years for the inflation to become rampant. It is important to realize this was before the crack wave.

There are extremists that believe Bitcoin is poised to be the new world's reserve currency (which to me means a highly sought after commodity to compare against), as gold once was in the past 200 years to some degree. This party of thought see it as digital gold that is fungible through the internet. It doesn't have enough critical mass of actual economic value hedged on it yet to be that, if ever, so it's going to be a wild ride when any big players decide to put some monies in the slot machine of the market. Small level purchasers aren't moving the market, and if they're in the US they're probably using Coinbase or some other "Bitcoin bank" that does off-chain transactions. The begrudgoned trusted entities that the current world requires to exist for people to get involved aren't moving the price for the most part, and their prices reflect what the other exchanges are saying. Regardless of the potential for transaction exclusion collusion, any large amounts of Bitcoin bought off the chain can cause wild swings on the markets that are averaged for the prices, and for a while if Bitcoin continues to excel, it will remain just as exploitable as any other financial system such stocks w/ press.

Satoshi's Hashrate 12 years ago

There most likely was a simple gpu miner that wasn't public knowledge until later, which helped in balancing out the network without needing a horde of machines early on.

People don't have to share their name to their public key in the blockchain. So the anonymity is about the same as a social security number, and but confirming the identity is much stronger and doesn't need to reveal private information or their private voter's token keychain. Transparency is giving out tokens to known voters, since there is already registration at least in united states elections. What it does give is a strict list of keys that should correlate with registered population.
