Just about every EU-based company allows for network defense and visibility to include things like SSL inspection and egress monitoring. Some may consider this surveillance, but what needs to be stated from a governance standpoint is that this monitoring is reasonable from a risk mitigation standpoint and the expectation needs to be written within acceptable usage policy.

Even more restrictive countries like Germany are fine with this.

I'll update my comp from vending machine to hotel mini-bar.
This is essentially a vending machine, but more importantly, and the reason it cannot replicate the NYC bodega experience... no cat.

He's also playing a super nitty 16/12 game. I'm guessing he was just grinding rakeback at those stakes.

I can't imagine a better beer scene than Portland, Maine so anything above them must be ridiculous.

Gizmodo now chiming in and saying Satoshi was 2 people, but basically confirming the Wired article on Dr. Wright.

If Satoshi is Wright, and he really wanted to remain nameless, he almost certainly would not have shown up to the Bitcoin Investor’s Conference. Poor op-sec.

That said, the issue with outing him is that he could hold more sway over the direction of BTC than if it were a truly decentralized currency. Not sure this if that's in the best interests of BTC.

Expensive shot at Bezos and his distate of charity. Well played, Zuck.

This seems like a pretty great purchase. Is there anything other than Cisco's licensing model that people truly don't like them for?
