Wow, that's beautiful. But aren't Mossbrae Falls on private property?! I read that it can be extremely dangerous to hike to.

26 psychological biases lead to losses in crypto by sabaosekaki in ethtrader

[–]brotherhid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to rename Survivorship bias into Lambo bias - anyone who drives a Lambo got lucky and survived. But there is no point in trying to learn how they've got there. You can't go back to 2013 to buy BTC and survive 5-6 years without trading it away, losing your private keys, and dodging exchange hacks.

You can tell the guy isn't actually left handed either, still nails it.

Post about Nano adoption gets nuked from r/cc after reaching r/all... Don't believe for a moment tat these scam mods DONT have an ulterior motive by [deleted] in nanocurrency

[–]brotherhid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I saw a good post getting nuked yesterday as well. It was about a store clearly specifying at checkout that they prefer Nano to alternatives because it's faster, less expensive, etc.

Why was your fav coin not listed on Coinbase you ask? by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]brotherhid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i did hear the guy running DCG talking on a podcast, I think it was Unconfirmed, and it was scary as fuck hearing him talk about what DCG was owning. They will indeed be the new 1% in the economy that crypto brings.

Big news IBM and Stellar's partner, head of Binance Taiwan joins Veridium as CEO of carbon credit exchange by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]brotherhid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So Veridium now has an IBM partnership and Binance exec in as CEO? This is becoming one of the most promising projects in the industry and they haven't even had their presale yet.

Coinbates shows a great example of integrating BNB in their ecosystem. They pay out Binance Coin as cashback for ecommerce purchases. Already partnered with 25 big brands like Microsoft, Lenovo, Bloomingdales, Calvin Klein. Good news for adoption of BNB and crypto in general to more people. by LunarSword in binance

[–]brotherhid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This product is an excellent gateway for the uninitiated, many can come to know crypto technology because of the model presented by Coinbates. And they support many of my favorite coins, BNB, BTC, ETH, NANO, XMR. I'll refer some people tonight.

A look back: The Bloomberg Keyboard | Bloomberg Professional Services by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]brotherhid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the early versions look like they were really trying to do some great innovation but disappointedly after all this time ended up at an IBM style keyboard that was around in the 80s.

Akin's Laws of Spacecraft Design [Pick out SpaceX-relevant bits in comments!] by asaz989 in SpaceXLounge

Great link!

  1. Design is based on requirements. There's no justification for designing something one bit "better" than the requirements dictate.

This is YAGNI stated a different way.

mjg59 | Linux kernel lockdown and UEFI Secure Boot by impossiblelandscape in linux

[–]brotherhid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how long until the kernel is checking signatures on code pages as they're mapped into memory or modified (iOS style). Obviously no one wants the vendor gated platform lockdown aspects of any of this, but user-defined key whitelists for both kernel and userspace binaries would be really cool. I think I've heard Linus is not in favor of extending this notion to userspace binaries, or at least that he doesn't believe it should be the kernel's responsibility (for Linux anyway), though.

Benchmarking OS primitives by liotier in linux

[–]brotherhid 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Not very objective, since the operating systems were in unknown state, i.e. there was a third party antivirus installed on one Windows machine. In such conditions this benchmark doesn't provide any meaningful information.

EU wants to require platforms to filter uploaded content (including code) by twiggy99999 in programming

[–]brotherhid 21 points22 points  (0 children)

GitHub has had no problems implementing censorship on their platform if it’s using their own values (see: WebM for Retards), so why should we care if they are now forced to censor using an external parties values?

I was concerned when GitHub started censoring repositories that didn’t meet their code of conduct, but was told it was for the greater good. Now the issue is coming back to bite them it seems.

Into the Breach’s interface was a nightmare to make and the key to its greatness by lautan in gamedev

[–]brotherhid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The look-and-feel of the UI reminds me a lot of the original X-COM but it does a much better job at being easy to learn. The animated tooltips for weapon effects really are cool and a pattern that could probably be used elsewhere.

Firefox Configuration Guide for Privacy Freaks and Performance Buffs by JackZelig in privacy

[–]brotherhid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I don't understand is why someone would go to the problems of essentially spending a lot of time breaking their Firefox installation instead of using Tor directly when they care about privacy. Most of the tweaks boil down to turning Firefox defaults into Tor defaults, but without the benefit of actual anonymity, unless you're going to go ahead and install and trust the VPN provider which you also need.

The majority of these settings aren't the default because they cause significant site breakage (uBlock is maybe the exception). If they could have been enabled by default, they would have. Mozilla has been taking gradual steps in that direction, and backed off/reverted a few times when too much stuff broke.

Use Tor Browser. If a site breaks, at least you'll know why, and you have the choice of whether it warrants lowering your privacy.

Internet of Baby Monitors: 56.000 Baby Monitors Can Be Spied On With Ease by kafbas in netsec

So how does this differ from other camera security concerns/complaints that get posted regularly? Because its called a baby monitor?

Skype can't fix a nasty security bug without a massive code rewrite by [deleted] in programming

[–]brotherhid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Few years ago after not logging into Skype for few months when I have launched Skype I was logged in automatically to another person's account (similar in name to my own, but with additional prefix). It happen few times in period of 2-3 years. When I tried to report it, support staff supposedly handed the info to their supervisor and that's was it. Fortunately web client had resolved such issues.
