Poloniex Crypto Exchange Confirms Data Leak After Awkward Email

Cryptocurrency exchange Poloniex has forced a password reset for all customers due to a leaked list of email addresses and passwords on Twitter.

WTactualF? Like clear-text passwords? How is that even remotely the case where any system in crypto space might store passwords in clear text? Grr.

We were told the last halving was priced in & we all know how that worked out. People saying this are mainly trolls & NOCOINERS.

The halving is not priced in, no fucking way.

Seriously nothing can actually be priced in ever until it actually exists.

That is just a fact. All there can be is those that try to persuade people to believe something that is for their own purposes.

I hate to break it to you, and I mean the shots are actually not as bad as you say, but those are not Ferrari Dinos.

Happy Preemptive New Years WOers !

A small competition to celebrate the ending of 2019 (and the bear season with it) and a welcome to 2020.  

As always, name this landmark.  It is a major global landmark.  Usual rules apply: 10 merits to first person to name location.  V8 is only allowed two guesses per day. More pixels added at random intervals.  The full picture is identifiable as the landmark.  

Standing on the US side of Trump's wall, facing west. At noon.

Edit: Stunning call. Stunning upset. Stunned.

good timing, i actually got around to watching It II yesterday. Well didn't really watch it as about 10 minutes into i couldn't take it aly longer, no surprise. It was the only Steven King Book I enjoyed the made for TV version was OK. I did like the movie Cat's Eye and The Shining though. I'm just not a fan of his writing style. But weirdly I quote a few things from Pet Cemetery like "sometimes deads better" and "You can't get there from here" so I guess I liked that move as well.

Are you sure? Here’s another angle.

I bought a Sony point and shoot just around the corner

How it looked when I was there (2007):

What it will look like in 2050 after Atari makes its comeback.

 That is fine.

Dude at the CCC is building a quantum computer in his garage.

https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-10808-build_you_own_quantum_computer_home_-_99_of_discount_-_hacker_style

That was very cool, but did he say his prototype was 8 qbits?

It really looked like a simple procedure and the biggest stumbling blocks were just monetary.

If so it looks like this shit is coming alot faster than we have been led to believe. That is if what he says is true, has this been independently verified? I'm not sure what a qbit is supposed to look like to begin with.

I also found it weird that the 2 minute vid he played spoke of the 3 states (as if the non state was one state and not an analog we just cannot measure) but he is only alke to test for the "ON" state or the "Not ON" state so I am not sure how this is used as I thought the "OFF" state had to be known?

I'm no expert but this is just a few questions that popped to mind.

I don't want to sound dismissive, but my intuition tells me that this French guy is all talk and no action. He hasn't showed anything remotely resembling an operational QC, even with just a few qubits. To me he came across as arrogant, boasting "I'm the boss" all around the talk, and dismissing Google and the rest of the QC leaders for using super-cooling because "they are used to it and that's all they know". Not the qualities I'd expect from a true inventor, scientist, pioneer.

I do hope he can do what he says, or, if not him, at least some others out there, for the benefit of all. But QC is no simple matter, and you can't just mill a quantum processor using a DIY CNC machine.

When that boy was spraying blood everywhere out of his shoulder after pennywise bit his arm right off, i couldn't take it longer as to the end of the scene.
The first version of the movie was way better, much more subtle but still gave me some mean horrors, back then. The novel is untouchable, imo. But the first movie honored it quite well in those days.
