This is just bullshit. A JS exploit that allows remote code execution is worth millions, and have far greater implications than revealing VPN IPs.

When a photon reflects off of a mirror and changes direction, does it decelerate, stop, then accelerate like objects with mass do? by dnap123 in askscience

No. A photon always moves at C, for as small resolutions as we can possibly observe (planck's constant).

There is no such thing as acceleration or acceleration for photons.

Well, duh. Security is as strong as it's weakest link. So it doesn't matter if you use your super private email, if the other party uses gmail.

That's why GPG is good. It forces you both parties to use the same security.

Because it was never known that their AML/KYC extended to Bitcoin transactions? Tell me ONE other exchange that locks up your Bitcoin. Coinbase is the only one that implements this, and that's why I consider it theft..

Furthermore, Coinbase refuses to send it back to the originating address, a staple of many other AML policies. Let me explain theft to you:

In common usage, theft is the taking of another person's property without that person's permission or consent

I deposited BTC under the assumption that I can withdraw it without any hoops to jump through. This was also their policy at that time. Now, their policies have changed retroactively and now they require verification for certain withdrawals, or at least my withdrawal. That's theft because they never obtained my consent to enforce these btc AML provisions, and a "We may take any action as necessary" does not count as informed consent.

OP is not asking for specific coins to be sent. OP is just asking for an option to use coinbase to purchase/sell BTC only, and automatically send it to OP's own wallets.

Eek! I've bought from Cheapair before, but sending directly to a Bitcoin address. If the next time I have to use my CB account (which coinbase are stealing 6 of my BTC), I'm not using cheapair.

Update: Cheapair responded to my support ticket (in 10 minutes!) and said they let people send directly to a Bitcoin address. I've made a dummy reservation and I have the choice of paying to a Bitcoin addres.

No. This is a bad thing. Bitpay doesn't do B2C wallets, they focus on merchant processing. They don't aim to be the central clearing house of Bitcoin transactions.

I don't support privatization in general, however when something is privatized it is sold to the highest bidder.

I appreciate you telling me to "tone it down" when Coinbase is holding thousands of my money in hostage.

Only for buying / selling BTC for fiat. They don't control who you send BTC to.

Coinbase has stolen 6 of my BTC, despite me NEVER engaging in any fiat transactions.

Coinbase has stolen 6 of my BTC. They even refuse to send it back to the same address it came from, which is allowed under most company's AML procedures. They are stealing it by ransoming me for verification, and refusing to send it back where it came from.

On IOS apple collects metrics such as usage of the app. It got rid of all the "get credits to download this app and rate 5 stars" fast.

Thanks, can I ask you a follow up question? How can you convert numbers to exponents?

Eg , how do I know what is 55370 in 2x ? I can get something by guessing a d checking.. But I'm sure there's a way. Found this hard to google.

Thanks

Just because someone else does it, doesn't mean you should do it. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Hamas are essentially terrorists, but the IDF is not fairing better in their actions.

This is simply propaganda with no merit.

according to the Israeli Army spokesman’s office.

The Israeli army frequently distorts facts and figures, including making up complete bullshit.

Please justify the IDF's intentional killing of civilians, and false messaging designed to maximize harm of civilians. "The other side does it" isn't a compelling justification, when they are the ones occupying the land that belongs to Palestine.
