Does "save" here means to ignore the will of the majority, ignore decision of the judicial branch with the judges appointed by Trump, and in essence for loosing minority to commit a coup d'état while expecting the 81 million majority to idly stand by? Well, prepare to be disappointed.

More "redeem for valuable cash prizes"

Emergency mechanisms... In other words changes to the blockchain to backdoor the system for "specific" accounts.

My answer to this is the same as when Ethereum rewound their chain for the DAO: *FUCK YOU*. Doing so makes the whole blockchain a scam and puts the most important part (immutability) into the dumpster. This is why I still support Ethereum "classic", it's the miners and chain that didn't just bow down to some random loser who couldn't write a proper contract.

If that happens to Bitcoin I sell immediately. Don't care if it goes to a million a coin, I will forever know that ownership of my coins is based on the benevolence of the "recovery committee".

Re the "panties" pics: there seems to be a perfect correlation between getting a bag of groceries and losing the panties  Wink
It also seems to happen in bowling alleys for some reason. I have talked to several real women about this, and apparently this does. not. happen.

Which means these images might be from a post-apocalyptic future where womens' panties are lead lined to protect from atomic fallout or a universe where the gravitational constant is higher.

Or someone really likes bondage in a very very specific way. Dunno.

So Parler was actually "hacked" by its security providers.  Nice.  That's exactly what you want in a security provider.


Not at all.

In any authentication system you have a choice to "fail safe" or "fail deadly" in the event of a problem. In Parler's case, when Twillo went offline they could no longer send out confirmation emails to verify new accounts or changing of passwords.

This happens in life. Cloud vendors are not 1000% reliable, communication errors happen, people forget to pay their bills, etc. When this happens you stop creating new accounts or stop allowing password resets until it's fixed.

Parler did not do this.

Instead their code just ignored the fact the system was down and allowed the user to do things anyway. This is set up for "minimal user disruption" because making sure the user has a nice "fluid" experience is more important than actual security.

THAT is the problem. You have a company run by security morons. Now they could have hired someone to do this right, but it's possible they didn't want to pay for it. Or they believed it was more important to have a good user experience than effective security.

Ah well.

I still think that we should avoid too much politics here (some is probably unavoidable).

It's unavoidable. Trump has only 8 days left to save America! If he fails this country will enter the most brutal dictatorship the world has ever seen.


Capitol police: Now you know how the looters  patriots  idiots  trumpers got in....

- China locks down Langfang city with 4.9 million residents.

- Malaysia declares state of emergency.

- German lockdown could last another ten weeks.

- More mass vaccination centres opens.

- Emergency mortuaries have been set up in England as hospital mortuaries reaching full capacity from Covid deaths.

Stay save.

I called my parents to see if they wanted to go shotgun shooting. They called their neighbor and apparently the whole family is in the hospital with CoVID. Apparently it's not like the flu, and the remaining son is home with pneumonia.

Seems serious.

From the article:

"Parler’s site was a mess. Its public API used no authentication. When users deleted their posts, the site failed to remove the content and instead only added a delete flag to it. Oh, and each post carried a numerical ID that was incremented from the ID of the most recently published one."

"Another amateur mistake was Parler’s failure to scrub geolocations from images and videos posted online. Sites like Twitter and Google routinely remove such metadata from content posted by their users. The video files hosted on Parler, by contrast, were “raw,” meaning they still contained this information."

What is this? A social network for ants?

More to the point, I think when their identity providers (Okta and Twillio) pulled support the site failed to "open API" access. Better than shutting down I guess.

Not.

Oh well, as always, never write anything on the Internet that you wouldn't want read aloud in your town square. That goes for this site too....

Also this. I mean they can easily touch the databases.

I’m not a system architect but expect it really depends on the setup.  If they are using Bring Your Own Key (which they should be...) then it’s all encrypted and AWS doesn’t have the key. 

BYOK is tricky to implement: If your keyserver blows up then your whole company is down. But yes, if implemented it will prevent the Govt or Amazon from getting your data. Of course they can start torturing your IT staff, but that is a different problem. It helps to have keys that explode if tampered with.

Fun stuff.

Definitely would not be hiding it!...

The new Lambos really make me feel "Meh". The Hurrican is kind of a flat pancake and not too fast on the track. Feels more like an Audi. Then again the new Porsches also feel like Audis but at least you can still spin a GT3. Not bad... just kinda meh.

I wonder what the new "you put a what in a WHAT?" kind of car would be these days.

Hm. There is a really nice Lambo Diablo up on Ebay, current bid is 2.5 btc. Granted they want like 9+ btc for it, which is ludicrous. Still it's pretty....

Agreed: Don't quote a pig-fucker. Quoting nazis get us Hilda:

NEVER FAILS! A great post after I blow my load! Grin

Merited it for ya!

last year was a disaster for us with the exception of BTC!!
Interesting. In my non-bitcoin holdings (retirement and junk) my net worth doubled under Trump. Gotta say a fair bit of it was in 2019 and 2020 but facts are facts.

By comparison my non bitcoin net worth tripled under the first 4 years of Obama after 8 years of stagnation under Bush. Second 4 years under O was also pretty stagnant.

All these 'pantie pics' inform as to why there are so many boomers.
I think that 50ies had a "thing" with panties, titties and naked legs, I suppose.


Partially. I think it's also the proto-bondage "Oh no, she can't run away" bit that twists some cranks. It's a pretty interesting sub-genre.

And the celery.
660  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 09, 2021, 05:51:18 PM


I simply couldn't resist...

No celery, no panties. Does it even qualify?

The guy pouring gasoline on the ground kind of makes it all work....
