mookerific | 3 years ago | on: Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang are cooperating in the criminal case against SBF

A guilty plea in the criminal trial will be introduced at the civil trial as a per se admission of guilt. I'm not following your logic.

Reveals, not betrays.

Can someone enlighten me on why exchanges created their me-too coins in the first place? As a way to move out of crypto into a sort of non-fiat purgatory before taking a position again later on? Like, why does BNB even need to exist?

Google Voice is a disaster. They are recycling numbers and many are from folks owing debts, so tons of collections companies call.

Just a huge thank you for N1. It's fantastic!

mookerific | 10 years ago | on: Tutonota: An end-to-end encrypted email client and hosted service

At least ProtonMail is working towards full compatibility with the OpenPGP standard, thereby allowing non-Protonmail users to encrypt emails using a standard PGP key - according to their stated roadmap, ProtonMail will eventually allow you to export your keypair and will also allow you to upload keys you've generated outside of their service instead of relying on their service to do the key generation.

Tutanota has implemented their own variation of encryption which is not OpenPGP compliant. Their justification for this deviation rests on their desire to be able to encrypt all aspects of communications (metadata, subject, etc) while PGP doesn't not offer this.

The real article should be discussing where a JD will take you. That's the scam of the century.

It clearly sounds like money is no obstacle, and perhaps this is due to the parents' return to Russia as heroes and subsequent plush career placements.

So while the kids's psyche are probably quite damaged, they won't be going hungry.

Very interesting read.

What about it? Not all speech is protected and there is a case to be made of the harm such speech poses. This is why we can't yell "fire!" in a crowded theater. Schenck v. United States, 249 U.S. 47 (1919)

It would be interesting to see how the various research chemicals out there - deschloroketamine, ephenidine, and others - would fare. There are anecdotal reports of varying levels of the antidepressant effect and they shouldn't be left unacknowledged.

The hilarious thing is that the US has the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act through which we can punish multinationals - usually BigPharma - for bribing doctors in other countries, where direct-to-customer advertising is prohibited.
