Don’t confuse opposing genocide with antisemitism

It is estimated that Binance has revenues of 20 billion and 7-8 billion in profit a year.

Funds have been already allocated for recovery by the CEO Richard Teng.

It’s about to kill VideoLan foundation (VLC):

It would be hilarious if this was caused by man-in-the-middle or BGP/DNS compromise because of eMudhra.

Binance wallet 16 came online in 2021.

Why to wait 5 years to attack.

Stablecoins are frozen so the hole will likely be around two billion dollars.

Binance has equity and cash flow cover this, outside the insurance fund.

They custody $150B.

FTX was larger in dollar terms and ecosystem was smaller back in a day.

Workspace was acquisition.

Google acquired it from Upstartle (the company behind the online word processor Writely).

Writely was created in 2005 by Claudia Carpenter, Steve Newman, and Sam Schillace. Google bought Upstartle in 2006 and Writely became the foundation of Google Docs. Google then combined it with other acquisitions, such as 2Web Technologies for spreadsheets, and launched Google Docs & Spreadsheets in October 2006.

The only good products Google has ever built in-house are search and GMail. Everything else is acquisition or crappy product.

So we should ask “why would it be different this time.”

Not exactly a democratic country, but came across these instructions what to do in China when police has detected a VPN in your household, or you have posted something

We have some flexibility with freedom left, and let’s keep it that way.

It’s called Terms of Service agreement

Google was cutting their own trees in their own forest, not someone else's trees.

What the news is about is "environmental impact study".

On mobile Kimi definitely wins from the UX point of view

Also the forest was cleared on its own land. The owner by default can do whatever they want with their own forest. It was junk land and economic forest, not any Rivendell. Unlike to contain anything to protect.

Google cut 200 hectares, the requirement for environmental study was 150. It’s likely many Finnish companies exceeds the same threshold everyday without questions.

It’s called regulatory capture.

It’s get worse when these companies work with regulators to create more regulation that they can sell more of their services.

The person behind this legal warfare is the beIN Sports chairman, Nasser Al-Khelaifi. He is also president of Paris Saint-Germain and chairman of Qatar Sports Investment.

He is, obviously, not French.

His self-claimed annual income was about $15–25 million, and his personal wealth was about $70–100 million.

The old joke:

The guide to PHP security:

Use something else.

The end.

Left wing politicians wanted Internet moderation.

We got Internet moderation.

Watch out what you wish for.

You are right, in the case of UK, Israel is not the foreign government

The UK has has this for years.

4chan was already blocked by ISPs and you need to call them to unblock it on your connection.

Because of this, it is questionable why Ofcom picked 4chan as a target it the first place.

The private key was a single-byte random number:

A bit less than a single byte, in fact.

eMudhra is India’s largest Certifying Authority, employs about 600-850 staff and generates roughly $70M in annual revenue. Its main lines are enterprise identity and cybersecurity platforms, digital signature and trust services, and related consulting.

Pirate streams have better access to public IP addresses than legitimate services, so blocking Cloudflare does nothing but destroy legitimate businesses.

Using a nationwide default blocklist to address 4chan would be appropriate behaviour for Ofcom, given its duty to protect kids.

Beyond that, it is just madness to try to control the US company or fine it. Going beyond this duty shows that not all biscuits are present at the afternoon tea.

It's not like Facebook, or anyone's personal life or business, depends on 4chan.

The UK ISPs already did this earlier. What Ofcom really wanted is to flex their muscle and kill 4chan because it represents Satan for them.

What Ofcom wants next is to make VPNs illegal.

Think of the kids the world we failed to protect by not having passport checks and government snitch at the 4chan login.

But don’t worry! We will check your passport when you open your phone (already live in the UK, efforts supported by the GBP 2M secret donation of Meta to NGOs).

And what’s the worst thing that could happen? No one would for sure arrest you for being critical of a foreign government.
