Crypto. Scam. Fraud. Fascinating case of what to do when a smart contract is exploited. Is it fraud, or just a savvy investor taking advantage of an opportunity? Also includes a small bonus section detailing how the hacker was tracked down and identified.

One of my complaints about “strategic ambiguity” in many different areas is that it’s rarely ambiguous. More often it’s conflicting and contradictory statements that are incoherent and confusing. (1/2) https://t.co/Xf6So78RaR

This is shocking. DuckDuckGo has a search deal with Microsoft which prevents them from blocking MS trackers. And they can't talk about it! This is why privacy products that are beholden to giant corporations can never deliver true privacy; the business model just doesn't work.
