i knew someone w a phd in physics apparently all his adviser's students rotated "ufo duty" (reading the letters + emails about ufos sent in on the off chance one was legit... but mostly to see if any of them needed to be sent to campus police rather than merely trashed)

On Dumpster diving, this is my opinion. I used to be in the food industry, I dropped out of Culinary school, most of the "food rules" we have are extremely conservative which makes sense for liability reasons. I've found over the past couple years that in my experience as long as my body doesn't reject the food it's most likely safe to eat. I assume it's the same thing as listening to my intuition and that in the beginning it's hard to tell what your reaction to the food is, but the more aware I've become of how I am, the more reliable my judgement is.

would this even count as insider trading? does a vuln count as publicly available information if anyone can find it? 🤔

IDGI?

To be "short" a stock means you're making a bet it will decrease in value. For example: "I'm currently short 'Quality Posts by Shinku ABOOKEN, AG'".

Pictured: The only good cop (a fictional one).


Most people in finance use the phrasing "I am short XYZ Corp" or "I have a short position in XYZ Corp".

I guess it might be because there's a difference between actively creating a position through trades at that moment-- "I am shorting..." and holding an position that's yet to be unwound-- "I am short" or "I am long".

Or it's just that way for no reason, who knows. The cited sentence isn't unusual in that context or likely to be misunderstood by the target audience.

wait, but they've posted their findings publicly.

do they do the initial short when only they known the vuln?

or blog, then buy a short 5s later?

iirc you can't just wait 5 seconds, you have to wait a certain amount of time so that the information can propagate, but i don't know details

that being said i have no clue if this applies to a vuln you discover, or what the rules are if you get the information illegally

I am not a lawyer but almost certain illegal means nonpublic.

I think they do a bunch of "public" research, short then blog.

There's another hedge fund that does a similar thing with bad medical patents. They research and find a lovely patent, short the company then try to get the patent invalidated.

OP is a student at university and was goofing off from his homework when he decided to have some fun, he saw it as a dumb joke and had no idea that things would get so out of hand, or that others would follow his lead.

He also did not think anyone would notice it, otherwise he would have written the document in a more mature way he told me.

It’s also important to note that OP believes that he never agreed to the FCC.gov TOS because he never applied for an API key, he just managed to get the URL through their faulty comment system, no hacking involved.

OP is scared and a lot of you are making him really worried about this, so its worth noting that he did not actually hack anything to upload his document.
