It's not just scamming investors, it's getting funding, period. I know some guys working for major banks who used blockchain to get their work funded. The blockchain is just this token appendage that will almost certainly get dropped long before anything is deployed, but it got them management buy-in where mention of distributed transaction processing and the like didn't.
So treat blockchain as a political mechanism, not a technical one.
The technical term is "adversarial machine learning". We've only just come up with the term for it, and are in the process of discovering how easy it is to defeat any machine learning system. In terms of fixing it, we haven't even got to the point of the "fucked if I know" realisation.
I made a two-hour (or so) loop tape that started with generic elevator music, then after an hour or so slipped in the Lallakiss battle song. Then elevator music for awhile, then the battle song again. After that it came up with increasing frequency until it was just the battle song on loop play.
May have dropped the Horst Wessel Song in there at some point as well.
And then there was the Morbid Angel CD as hold music...
Also, the root certs are only half the story. The SennComCCKey.pem filename indicates that what was used was OpenSSL, and it'll be an ancient, unpatched, never-updated copy, alongside all the other ancient, unpatched, never-updated copies that every other app that needs crypto installs. I once counted seventeen copies on a random work machine, the oldest one being one of the 0.9.6 family, and that was in 2017.
I gather that was a joke? no sane person would buy an Italian car for its quality, especially outside of the supercar range.
"Would the owner of Alfa Romeo XXXXXX please come to the exit immediately as your car is on fire". That really happened, and you just wouldn't expect that if the name was Toyota or Audi or whatever.
British Leyland perhaps, except all the oil would have dripped out so there's little left to burn, and the car would spontaneously self-disassemble to prevent the flames from spreading.
Another thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is the "We've had no political restrictions" comment, which would be another reason for teaching in China: No speech codes, no SJWs, no big pharma buying whatever research results they want, no.... . I'm not saying China is perfect, but they have a respect for science that has greatly diminished, if not vanished entirely, in a lot of the US.
For software, you still need to put in the countermeasures by hand, because you've also got things like control flow integrity and other aspects to deal with. Also you don't need the overhead of TMR for all values, just critical system variables and the like, so having a tool try and do it automatically doesn't work.
It was actually a very effective simulation of what would happen: At the first sign of trouble, the whole thing fell apart. Conclusion: We've got a long way to go before we can have people living on Mars.
From what I've been able to gather, people pay $100/month instead of $30-$35 for two reasons
I'm outside the US, I pay under $10/month. On an unlocked, dual-SIM phone, so I can switch carriers with about two taps if my current one decides to up its prices. It's somewhat scary that what you quote as a cheap price would be premium pricing here, and we're not even that cheap a country to begin with.
You can use it crack certain cryptography problems faster;
One in particular: That maths wonks are running out of excuses to design new algorithms. There's only so many zero-knowlege group key management IND-CCA blind signcryption schemes you can publish before people fall asleep. By coming up with this unicorn-magic break-all-existing-algorithms space-alien wish-fulfilment technology, said maths wonks get another ten to twenty years of publishing papers on algorithms resistant to unicorns, magic, sharks with lasers, and so on. That's why there's so much concern about post-unicorn cryptography... uhh, sorry, quantum, it's addressing an academic publication problem, not an actual real-world threat.
That's way too slow in many cases. I often use Google maps when I'm close to where I need to go but there's some last-minute uncertainty (was it this stop or the next? The train is pulling into the station). Lately it's become more and more and more sluggish, it now takes forever to start up, and then there's more delay before you can start entering your location, and also lag when you go back to re-do the search so you often skip one screen too many back and have to start from scratch. I used to prefer Google Maps because it was less sluggish when getting quick location info than several competing apps I tried, but now it seems to be the reverse, the other apps haven't necessarily sped up much but Maps has slowed and bloated massively so that it's much slower than the competition.

A system that can adapt can adapt wrong.

Clergy perform very important community related functions. If you are not part of the community, then you wouldnt see the value.
Yeah, those boys aren't going to abuse themselves...
I suspect self-abuse among teenage boys is a lot more prevalent than you think.
The problem is that the press think artificial intelligence actually exists.
It does exist. You never seen a blonde die her hair brown before?
Well, I don't know about him being a nice guy, but give him a break, he sells women's shoes for a living.
Typing '!yt keyword', for instance, will do a direct search on YouTube
And if you type '!! keyword' it searches Pornhub.
Print Trump/Hillary (depending on your inclinations) toilet paper until the feed bin is empty. After all, it's not your paper that's being wasted.

the problem remains if uptime trumps fully patched.
How would you full patch trump? I mean, he's been toupeed, but how would you patch him?

Right, which is why we have TLS web servers, TLS certificates and OpenTLS, and not SSL servers, SSL certs and OpenSSL.

Or the Sack AS-6, built in secret by the Nazis at their base in New Swabia, and still parked in a hangar there under the ice.

With Windows 10 alone we work to deliver quality to over 700 million monthly active Windows 10 devices
So, Microsoft, out of those 700 million that you work on, how many do you actually succeed in delivery quality to?
Actually Windows is a service, in the sense of "the farmer got a bull to service his cows". Windows 10 is Microsoft servicing their customers.

"Don't you understand English you arse, we're not at home!".
It's also not exactly news, Germany was doing this sort of thing eighty years ago.
And halotosis, and fat ladies in hot pants, and loud ties!
