<p>If you've read Ted Chiang's "Understand," you'll understand why this headline made my eyes pop out.  For those who haven't, it's in the "Stories of Your Life and Others" collection, which includes the short story that the film Arrival was based on.</p>

<p>Quick question - why hasn't someone 51 percent attacked Satoshi's wallets?<p>Estimated cost of a 51% attack on Bitcoin, if no one is cooperating, is $6 billion to $10 billion.<p>Surely the cost goes down if they get some big players to cooperate.<p>And the reward is...  $83 billion.  Basically 10x your money.<p>I mean, this is the kind of thing that we could sell bonds for, to raise the $6 to $10 billion needed.<p>Other than the fact that you'd be de-legitimizing BTC, the very thing you're trying to steal.  Or morals - them, too.  Other than that?</p>

<p>Sorry for the tangent - does anyone have some really zoomed in views of GB, GBColor, GBA screens in operation?  I'd love for retro shaders to be able to more faithfully reproduce.<p>I mean, ideally, we'd run different color test patterns through, in different lighting conditions, to build a really detailed model, right?</p>

<p>Have you heard of the term, "bury the lede"?<p>I'd love to see an opening paragraph like this one:<p>"All discovered vulnerabilities have already been patched.  We waited to publish this article until they were.  Release 8.0.3 addresses all of them, and we advise updating as soon as possible.  We waited until 95% of installs had already updated to that version."</p>

<p>EDIT: Looks like they did responsibly disclose - that's nice.  I missed the single line at the bottom of the article.  I'd prefer if an article like this opened with a paragraph about their conversation with the maintainers, and how all vulnerabilities have already been patched, etc.  But I guess that's a personal preference.<p>===<p>Did they privately disclose these vulnerabilities to the developers and give them a reasonable amount of time to fix them, before they announced them to the world?<p>Because, and I'm going to highlight, if someone exploits a CVE in an EMR, they can wreck havoc on actual real patient data, and can endanger health and lives.<p><a href="https://github.com/openemr/openemr/security" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/openemr/openemr/security</a><p>"Option 1 (preferred) : Report the vulnerability at this link. See Privately reporting a security vulnerability for instruction on doing this."<p>Did they do that?<p>Because if they didn't responsibly disclose, this sure seems like a hit job performed by someone who'd rather EMR software be closed source.</p>

<p>I hear there's no legislation called "Protecting Unified Monetary Products & Distributing Usury Monetary Profits."<p>In this new legislation, some stocks will not be associated with any corporations.  There will be no reporting requirements.  The stock will move as the market dictates.<p>And people who have more money than you can buy access to trade it seconds faster than you can.<p>Good luck everyone!  I hope the PUMP & DUMP bill works out!</p>

<p>I think the best analogy for Google is that it's like being accepted at a University.  And they think it's going to take you a while to declare your major.  You may not like your weeder classes.  You may not like your first few professors.  But pretty soon, you'll find a home for yourself, if you want to make the best of it.</p>
