Today is not a good news day for Ethereum. A vulnerability found within a popular wallet has frozen potentially hundreds of millions of dollars of the crypto currency in a second setback in recent months. They weren't planning on spending that, were they?

Barter only works for stuff for which there is a demand. I doubt that there is any demand for stone knives
..and industial metal that does not rust, which is chemical inert, and accepted by the human body without rejection - might have a few uses.

The US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has ruled in favor of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in its fight against Sci-Hub, a pirate site for scientific papers. Now how will we ever find out the arrrrrr value?
Not sure if I need my coat, or a swat on the head.

Looks like Sci-hub is getting the booty.

Microsoft launched a Roslyn-based analyzer that works in Visual Studio to flag problematic .NET Core and .NET Standard APIs that might be deprecated or incompatible with certain platforms. You have your compatible incompatibilities, your incompatible compatibilities, and your incompatible incompatibilities

Don't forget the compatible compatibilities - that aren't.

As some of you may know, there's a wall of lava lamps in the lobby of our San Francisco office that we use for cryptography. In this post, we’re going to explore how that works in technical detail. Just in case you need a groooovy new random number generator

Cool, or should I say "hot", but it gets me thinking that an old cathode ray TV (you know, the kind lying around in the front yards of rednecks) tuned to, well, anything, do they still broadcast over the airwaves? would be a great random number generator by capturing the static. And who knows, maybe it could be turned into an ET detector too when the numbers suddenly stop being random.

Shouldn't that be 'void far*'?

If you have a modern Intel CPU (released in the last few years) with Intel’s Management Engine built in, you’ve got another complete operating system running that you might not have had any clue was in there: MINIX.
That’s right. MINIX. The Unix-like OS originally developed by Andrew Tanenbaum as an educational tool — to demonstrate operating system programming — is built into every new Intel CPU.
Apparently the year of LinuxUnix on the desktop happened a decade ago without anyone noticing.
Also filed under things nobody expected to ever see again after finishing their OS programming class at school.

This is absolutely crazy!
Article said: Why on this green Earth is there a web server in a hidden part of my CPU? WHY?
The only reason I can think of is if the makers of the CPU wanted a way to serve up content via the internet without you knowing about it. Combine that with the fact that Ring -3 has 100 percent access to everything on the computer, and that should make you just a teensy bit nervous.

Officially it's almost certainly because if you buy a mobo with a business chipset and pay extra for Intel's remote management tools porting a basic web server was the easiest way to build a network interface for all the stuff that lets sysadmins at MegaConglomoCorp patch your computer wile it's turned off and left on your desk overnight.

Yes, I agree that Intel surely isn't using it for nefarious purposes, but the fact that this functionality has been so "back door" and hidden is the problem. Of course, again, maybe they were trying to hide it so blackhats didn't find out either, but it's just crazy that as consumers we buy things that have some functionality that could expose us but we are completely unaware.
