You’re not alone.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the CA only signing your public key to prove identity/authority? I don’t think the CA can magically MITM every cert they sign.

The impact is not serious enough to warrant a $1m entry fee, IMO. At best, someone could impersonate a site. They’d also have to get other things in line (e.g. DNS hijacking) to be at all successful anyway. And it’s not like most people are authenticating certs themselves. They just trust browsers to trust CAs that vouch for you and prevents those scary browser warnings.

It doesn’t improve encryption compared to a self-signed cert though.

They came up with the ACME protocol, so presumably somebody could. The real barrier to entry is the cost of getting into that certificate chain of trust. I have no idea why it’s so difficult and expensive.

Remember they wanted like $75 for certs? The gall.

Apparently, Zuckerberg made the song for his wife, Priscilla. “‘Get Low’ was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party, so every year we listen to it on our dating anniversary,” Zuckerberg wrote on Instagram.

Holy cringe, Batman!

That’s fair, but hardly so aggressive that I’d call it a “crypto crackdown.”

But it’s hardly unexpected to see lawsuits around unsettled law. Everyone should expect more as we start settling case law and bringing crypto inline with existing law.

Also, wasn’t it mostly centered around their non-exchange activities? Press release specifically mentions their “Staking-as-a-Service” offering. Not that I see anything wrong with it, but I could see how that could be considered a security. Doesn’t really pass the Howey test.

What crackdown? The SEC has only charged actual scammers and they’ve “requested information” from the legitimate players to figure out how to proceed. Other than some bad calls by sanctioning software, there’s hardly been anything considered a “crackdown.”

Maybe don’t base your world view on some random person’s protest sign.

Accidentally checked out /r/GenZ today. Yikes.

I’m curious who’s actually getting 4 or less hours per day?

Let’s be real. “Surfing” was corny in the 90s.

In gambling, the house always wins, by extracting value from the players. In stock trading, the players (capitalists) collectively always win, by extracting value from labor, technological growth, and natural resources. These are not the same picture.

Not all gambling requires a casino/house.

I don’t even play but I’d love to assemble a guitar.

I would love a wooden touchpad. That would feel so nice.

the idea of having comments be auto moderated to be detected as contributing to a conversation of the article vs attacking someone seemed interesting.

Echo chamber enforcement.

Saw an interview with the family. The anchors are in 8ft deep concrete. This would probably be somewhat effective at at least preventing the roof from being ripped off.

Won’t do much against swell or flying objects though. But they know that

You can have tools for recognition and not identification. Identification likely includes information that someone did not intend to share with you.

It is very privacy friendly […]

What makes you believe that? The most information I could find about this is that it doesn’t “save your session data.” The Orbit privacy policy also seems a bit bare, and I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or not.

Either way, you’re still sending data to a third party service to process. Might be worth it for some people.
