There’s a window between the proof of concept success and Bitcoin being worthless where the attacker could attack any wallet and collect/sell while people figure out what is happening. The only question at that point is do you attack and sell aggressively to beat the clock, or do you slowly and carefully attack to try and stay under the radar? If one person has the ability to break crypto, then it follows that other people working towards it only have to align the same pieces before the window shuts.

Crypto is and always has been a scam.

Many chip fabrication machines in Taiwan are set up for sabotage in the event China invaded. Taiwan does not want to be a repeat of what the world saw happen to Hong Kong.

Tool-Lost keys/Rosetta stoned. Maybe the stoner really did see something out in the desert.

These programs require continuous funding. The probe went to Jupiter. The scientist and listening stations back on earth still have to run to receive the data.

It is usually due to “budget cuts” as the easiest way to kill a project is to defend it.

SLS-which may actually be a bad program but is a good example of the political issues with NASA vs senate.

NASA is too beholden to politics… You can’t do 7 year builds and missions when the Senate flips every 4 years and has to kill everything the other side did on principle that it has a D or R attached to it. Everything is political.

We once again congratulate software engineers for nullifying 40 years of hardware improvements.

And knowing the cult of Apple, they’ll pay it because it makes them look wealthy. That is the whole culture of Apple Customer base.

More the equivalent of a parent using your full name before telling you to do something… But it is your own mental monologue.

3rd person.

Scrap metal. I’ll give them $100 if they run, $50 if I have to tow it.

This one works in my company. If you have a ticket with no actionable items (you can’t do anything to improve it or it is complete), then you use that lack of actionable items to make a timer to close it, or pressure the team you’re waiting on.

He’d drive a truck fogging asbestos dust out the back

We congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs.

…and the US could make a China shaped nuclear crater to the west of Taiwan. Then everyone clapped.

“Bro, what if…”

Great! Now I just need to export screenshots of passwords and other personal info from other people’s machines. Isn’t it great that so many applications now have that little eye symbol you can click to see if you typed your password properly? I bet I can trigger that for a frame and catch the plain text.

Hooters goes tits-up.

Even still, the ‘flag’ could be enough damning evidence for some people to take action. We’re in the cultural ‘guilty until proven innocent’ territory, where a mere accusation ruins lives.

You can go to any bakery and order a cake, take it home, and eat it by yourself. Same energy.

Measuring cup from Walmart. Packaging said dishwasher safe. It was not.

Better Homes Food chopper that couldn’t be disassembled to clean it. Potato chunks got pulled up into the housing by the blades and just rotted there with no way to access it. The exact same model is still sold in stores.
