Actually traps are pretty common for the rich or those who have to go to bad neighborhoods or even countries.
People keep normal valuables like their wallet, GPS, tablets or laptops in them. The idea is that anything out of sight is out of mind for a crackhead/methuser/dirty cop.
The guy targeted any buyers. The only reason he is going to jail is that he refused to be a snitch so they built a case to punish him for that.
The seems to go against what bitcoin claims to be. I was operating under the assumption that since it claims to be a currency the IRS would treat it as one.
You are incorrect on your tax idea there buddy. That is income and you should be reporting it. You might get away with not reporting a small amount, but if it is ever worth anything you will have the IRS after you.
You should of course assume there are more of these bugs in all software, all the time.
This means web servers should not be able to submit arbitrary queries to the DB, if you can avoid it. Now getting developers to play along with this is like herding cats.
They sent out a warning to everyone on the mailing list. I know, I got it.
You should not have your PgSQL servers exposed to the world, no any db server. You should apply the fix when it comes out. The reality as an admin is that I know odds are damn near everything we use has as yet undiscovered vulnerabilities.
Migrating anything major to another DB is pretty much a nonstarter. Nor will another DB give you even this much visibility. Oracle would never admit something like this with mysql.
Maybe you need to stop being so ignorant. Things have to get done at night, like bridge repair or a whole world of things that cannot be done during the day. Those folks doing that work need communication and services too.
On top of that, the whole world is not one timezone.
Yeah, we have ended contracts with suppliers already for that sort of thing. Someone who can't even tell you when their service will be back are not folks you can rely on.
These are of course not concerns for a university.
Trust is not the only hurdle. Lack of insight into downtime and worthwhile SLAs. Simply getting a refund is not good enough when an hours downtime cost you a 10 million dollar contract. We literally have contract like this. This means we would if we had to steal hardware or resources from other projects to keep that system up and running or to return to service faster.
You can't do that with a cloud provider. If they have an outage you are stuck at their mercy. They will have downtime, not only is it just a fact of life, but they are going to try to provide your service as cheap as possible to increase their margins. Also because if they don't you will select a cheaper provider.
So far the best we found were totally worthless SLAs that state basically 100% uptime, but your only recourse for downtime is a refund of your payments.
In house we also have visibility into downtime. We now when the parts are arriving and at what stage something is at. No cloud vendor will give you that, because they of course will inconvenience smaller players to keep bigger customers happy. So you can't say "We stole your hardware for a customer 3 times your size".
Name some. I want hilarity to ensue, not just give away the money to top brass. If I can get a crudely drawn phallus tattooed on the CEOs face that would be perfect and worth thousands.
Because turbines can be bought now, find me such a fuel cell that I can buy. Also storing H and O completely destroys the entire energy density storage of my plan. To make matters worse storing H2, is a huge PITA. It embrittles metal, leaks through everything and likes to pool in structures under roofs making it a hazard in buildings not designed for it.

This is exactly what happened.
He was told to be a snitch and when he refused they punished him.
If you want to troll you need to be less obvious.
I give it a 1/10 for trying.
Just because you did not get audited does not make it so.
The seems to go against what bitcoin claims to be. I was operating under the assumption that since it claims to be a currency the IRS would treat it as one.
I guess we need to call the IRS and ask.
What citation do you want?
Do you not think that income is taxable?
If I pay you to roof my house in Euros that does not mean you don't have to pay taxes.
No, said it was. I see you still have not googled deflation.
How deep in the hole are you on these things?
Someone here does not understand deflation. Hint; it ain't me.
Or when it is $1 a coin the people who "invested" at 90 cents will be up a whole dime!

So could tulip bulbs, you better go get some quick.
So how does this compare to the value of the worlds tulip bulbs?

My mistake, you're right.
Just so you know you're not supposed to read the article before commenting. It makes you look like a noob if you actually read the article.

Netflix, P2P and non-educational activities are very important for student traffic. These folks live there.
No one works all the time, not even college students.

It is the same issue we face with airlines.
People will shop only based on price, forcing a race to the bottom. Then they will complain about outages and poor service.

Which right now requires landing, so that clearly is not an option.
