If any of the futures exchanges are already started, there will be people who get option calls as the price changes. They're forced to sell or put in funds to cover their options.
The main components with limited lifetimes are the electrolytic capacitors. And I'm not sure they get highly stressed. I am not one of the people who believes that ICs wear out. I do own a lot of 1980's test equipment from Rohde & Schwarz, Agilent, etc., and thus have developed some expertise in this.
Well, then that's actionable information: AMD and NVIDIA, to the extent that their value is from sales of compute-oriented "graphics" cards to large-scale miners, might fall when bitcoin fails, and could be shorted. Possibly there's even a hedge play there.
Yes, bitcoin was not established by a government, because when that definition was written nobody could have imagined that you could create a currency that people would be crazy enough to buy that wasn't backed by a government.
It does have the major functional, rather than historical, characteristic of a fiat currency, which is the part you got from Wikipedia: no intrinsic value.
So, wake up to the present, where we got two new technologies: cryptocurrency and the internet, so that rather than a government some anonymous and possibly fictional person could create a fiat currency.
Nobody had to predict the specific way bitcoin progressed to this day. They simply had to create the ultimate fiat currency, and it was likely it would destabilize some capitalistic economies.
What happens when Bitcoin crashes? What effects will it have on companies that accept, use, or hold it, market-makers on exchanges and futures, etc. ?
My theory is that it was created by a national actor with the intent of crashing national economies. Not sure it will actually do that, though. But real people will be hurt. Some of them will be people who took the risk themselves and deserve the consequences. But when stocks or currencies crash there are often lots of innocent victims who never made the choice to invest in them.
There are unexplored paths, such as research into human performance enhancement. These are blocked by the anti-doping organizations that plague athletic organizations. Some competitions should be open to deliberate enhancement.
The author of MINIX, Andrew Tannenbaum, wrote a public letter about hearing that MINIX was in the Management Engine. He did not indicate that Intel had any form of special license or had even informed him that MINIX was in the management engine.
He might not care that he's being infringed, he might not even have figured that out. But it really does look like he's being infringed.

The BSD license is the most infringed. Most companies get this wrong. Many of them can tell you why they don't use GPL, and then they infringe on the BSD license, putting themselves in exactly the same place (being a copyright infringer) as if they had used GPL.
The way I read the summary was that the part of the exploit they haven't told us about involves features that are core to the OS.
Yeah, like filesystem transactions and executing files. The whole exploit is explained in the summary. Create a file in a transaction. Virus checker can't get at it because it's not visible outside of the transaction. Execute the file. Abort the transaction. No file left for the virus checker. Process still running.
Creating a process from a file that is part of an in-progress transaction is probably not a documented feature of Windows at all. Making such files non-executable until the transaction is completed sounds like it would be a sufficient fix.
Much as I like to brag that Linux folks can fix this sort of thing overnight, it is not really the case that everyone at Microsoft is a knuckle-walking Neanderthal who could not fix this in a week or a month.
I'm not a fan of Trump, but your position is incredibly obtuse. In this case, your skepticism is not logical.
Well, it's based on the understanding that most forms of attack using ionizing, electromargnetic, optical, and sonic radiation are heavily monitored around our embassies and their staff, starting from the exposure of the Great Seal Bug in 1952. So, those are out as causes or someone is really not doing their job. The US is pretty good at detecting chemical and physical attack methods, too. So, we are down to something like prion infection as in CJD/BSE, which could come from bad meat and have nothing to do with an attack.
People in San Francisco houseboats heard funny noises too, and had all manner of conspiracy theories. It was traced to the Humming Toadfish. I bring this up to point out how accusations can be misdirected.
I have no reason to like the Cubans or their erstwhile and perhaps still friends the Russians. But this one sounds just too strange.
In 1945 our ambassador in Moscow was given a passive RF bugging device designed by Theremin himself. It was exposed in 1952. Optical passive spying devices such as the laser window bug are also well-known. For that reason, I would expect that electromagnetic/sound/optical wavelengths around embassies and their staff are all monitored. So, it's not that.
The US has been monitoring electromagnetic radiation around embassies and diplomats since the Great Seal Bug was exposed in our Moscow embassy in 1952. Known spy technology using RF, UV/infrared (as in laser window bugs), ionizing radiation (x-rays, etc.) would be monitored. US is also pretty good at detecting chemical agents, other physical attacks. Maybe less good at Prion infection as in CJD/BSD.
Doesn't a fair number of people with similar and rare brain abnormalities constitute exactly that?
I don't particularly trust this administration to be telling the truth. Their record on that isn't very good.
I'd like to see information from independent doctors rather than ones who work with the state department and are publishing their paper with state department input.

What about Intel and Xeon Phi?
Be civil or don't play.

Hadn't the serious miners gone to ASICs before now?

Slashdot started up that way. Where were you?
You have a point. This is really just another soiled mattress in the dumpster. With used hypos stuck in it.
If he's the only copyright holder, the decision to sue or not is entirely in his hands. Nobody else would have a right to sue.
The license actuall says documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
So, your legal theory doesn't fly, sorry.

I think you can add to your list of criteria for credibility: multiple sources. Not just one group that explicitly works with the state department.
