Hacker = terrorist

Those two objects are not correlated. The housing market collapsed because of bad debt that was loaded into paper held by banks, and Lehman happened to have some of the paper too. Note that Lehman was allowed to collapse because the impact to the housing market was a non-event. The impact to the US as a whole, and the housing market secondarily, by the bankruptcy of all solvent banks was much greater. And so we entered into a time when the government took a stake in the stock market and financial institutions.

MT and BTC are the same scenario, luckily the US Govt has not stepped in yet. Which means the market is actually free.

Here we have a large brokerage that shuts down, but changes in the value of bitcoin are largely unaffected except temporarily by the news, and everything remains stable despite a large market share being removed from the market. How will this change when users gain access to their accounts and finally settle at a loss is unknown. But the value of the underlying currency is both an interesting sounding board for this type of data, and in terms of technical chart analysis, an interesting point of stability. FWIW.

We was all Goxxed for the last time!

The way things are going, there might be a TeslaPad first.

We're all stressed out, and can't deal with it.

Many years back a CEO of a subdivision of a company wanted to know why his email service was disrupted. I told them that it was because their idiot webmaster took control of their DNS and did not copy the MX record. The webmaster defended himself claiming that a document was not in place explaining how to handle the client's DNS. This went back and forth a bit between the three of us, and ended with me calling the two of them incompetent and irresponsible. I never spoke to the webmaster or the client CEO for better or worse.

A few years later, the CEO of the parent company called wanting to know why his network was suffering intermittent downtime and demanded it be fixed immediately. I explained that his outage was caused by antiquated equipment that could not do debugging, and there was a proposal already on his desk for replacement gear. He was in a huff, but he knew I didn't mince words or advice, and that quote was signed in minutes.

While you can't always directly point to a net gain after a net loss, your experience and attitude will help define how other perceive you. You can go in quite politely, or you can be very blunt. I have been both depending on the situation.

Either way, if you can't call out losers, you'll wind up being one.

And while listening to this crap I immediately thought to myself "How the F*** do we have copyrights for 120 years to protect auto-generated crap like this?"

A part of this is foolishness. You can never trust a corp that has been litigious over its brand with ownership of your project or its hosting. Everything should have been copied elsewhere to a domain or hosted url with no TMs, and the old site should have been slowly deprecated and forked.

Anytime you need hot pumping lights and dance music to get 'journalists' interested in tech, you've already proved that CES is a waste.

Yes it's called the NSA

And like all symbols of perceived status, it is as useless as the hoodie or tie.

"It's become increasingly clear that we need to devote hackathons, hours and resources to developing a messaging app that protects user privacy"
And should also become quite obvious that you need to start vetting coders who are infiltrating projects on behalf of the government. That good old warped 80's tinfoil hat paranoia is the only thing that will save you anymore because it seems it was never wrong.

Wow if Doom is twenty years old that makes me... scared
