There is some really bubbly behavior going on but considering how important technology is to literally everything the human race does nowadays who knows if it'll ever burst. Even so it's a crazy situation that needs a fix sooner rather than later but you have a poo poo load of property owners going "gently caress you got mine."

It seems like the winner will be whoever releases the first AAA quality game that uses VR as an essential component. Tech demos and small scale projects can only get you so far, now that the tech is there someone needs to make something that mass market consumers will pay hundreds of dollars to play. Have any of the large game studios made a public commitment to develop something major for a specific technology?

If your answer is anything other than an emphatic "yes" you failed to pass the test to manage a $70 billion company.

How on loving earth was this ever allowed to begin with?

Security research firm Rhino Security Labs found a vulnerability in the Amazon Key in-home delivery service's security procedures that could allow either the courier or even a savvy and malicious bystander to enter your home undetected after the delivery is completed. Amazon has promised to change how Key works in order to make it easier for you to tell when something unusual is happening in this event, but the changes proposed by Amazon don't necessarily resolve the vulnerability.

...

Rhino Labs discovered that a courier equipped with a simple program can use their laptop to fake a command from your Wi-Fi router to disconnect the Cloud Cam from your network. This causes the camera to stop functioning by freezing the image at the last frame. At that point, the courier could re-enter your home, do whatever it is that they want there, and then exit, reactivate the camera, and lock the door as usual. This re-entry would be undetectable by the resident, and it would appear like a normal delivery in Amazon's data.

iirc, a huge problem with the bitcoin exchanges is there aren't any banks who are willing to transfer to customers (considering how shady bitcoins are)

so bitfinex has no ability to pay out. but people keep paying it cause they're loving idiots. oh and bitfinex has tether cause of all this, they're basically notes saying "we'll pay you $1 usd". so if you have 30k tether that's supposed to be equivalent to 30k usd

problem is there's no way to actually convert tether to usd

On August 1, a dissident faction of the Bitcoin community created a new payment network called Bitcoin Cash. There are lots of Bitcoin-derived spinoff currencies, of course, but this was unusual because it branched off from the existing Bitcoin blockchain. The result was the cryptocurrency equivalent of a stock split: everyone who owned one bitcoin before the split suddenly owned a "cash" bitcoin after the split.

Today, the value of Bitcoin Cash in circulation is about $20 billion. That makes it the third most valuable currency, after only the original Bitcoin and Ethereum. And this appears to be newly created wealth. The value of vanilla bitcoins didn't fall significantly on the day of the split, and it has since zoomed upwards so that the value of all conventional bitcoins is now around $150 billion.

...

The question now is who is going to try this trick next. The answer is: a lot of people. In recent weeks, a bunch of different people have announced plans to create new currencies. There's Bitcoin Silver, Bitcoin Platinum, Bitcoin Diamond, Bitcoin Uranium, Bitcoin Cash Plus, and Super Bitcoin.

A complaint I heard on Marketplace (I think) about the new interface is that the old interface allowed you the illusion that the stars were your friends, just one more person on your friendslist, while the new interface separated the lists out, shattering the illusion.

quote:

Despite the criticism, Spiegel remains characteristically bolshy about the new design, telling a conference in San Francisco that “some of the complaints we’re seeing reinforce the philosophy.

“One of the complaints we got was, ‘wow I used to feel like this celebrity was my friend and now they don’t feel like my friend anymore’. And we’re like: ‘Exactly. They’re not your friend.’ So for us, even some of the frustrations we’re seeing really validate those changes. And it’ll take time for people to adjust.”
