Can someone edit the title of this to say “tornado cash“? As a one-time contributor to the python tornado web framework, I had a bit of a scare waking up to see this!

Agreed. Using a dongle is a terrible experience. I had to buy a few cause they kept breaking for me. The primary way I listen to music on my phone is while walking around with my phone in my pocket. In addition, the lightning port can get dust in it so sometimes it is difficult to maintain a good connection. The connection kept coming loose and causing the music to stop for me. I even had my phone’s lightning port cleaned at an Apple authorized repair center, but the problem came back after around a month. Never had that problem with a 3.5mm audio jack in my life.

I ended up having to buy Bluetooth headphones just to listen to music on my iPhone which has its own problems because they have to be charged all the time.

Or maybe it is a mixture of both? Are you sure they don’t have covert people in all the very same positions? Does the CIA have its own internal museums, mapmaking companies, architecture firms? What buildings do their architects design?

Employing an internal economist might be able to give you an idea of financial things going on in the world, but employing an economist who writes for a prominent media company or is on TV allows you to shape how the public THINKS about economics and financial markets which is much more powerful.

Perhaps the tweet is not an open admission of this, but it doesn’t take a lot of effort to connect the dots.

I’m glad people are finally catching on to this. The CIA has their tentacles in pretty much all aspects of society, and it has been that way for years. They have even admitted this openly:

https://twitter.com/CIA/status/1034866941587087360

> CIA officers work as scientists, support staff, engineers, economists, linguists, mathematicians, secretaries, accountants, inventors, cartographers, architects, psychologists, police officers, editors, graphic designers, auto mechanics, historians, museum curators, & more!

Curiously absent from that list is journalists…

Yes, I agree, but it is a memory leak. It doesn’t START at 10GB. Also closing windows does not help much at all.

To answer your question, I have a total of 73 windows open at the moment. 11 of them are from applications with a single window open, 8 are from iTerm, and 54 are from Sublime Text. I am aware that is quite a lot for Sublime, but that is just how I use it.

Regardless, I just quit Sublime Text, and the memory usage only dropped to 8.9GB still absurdly high for having 19 windows open.

I too have the problem with WindowServer although for me it seems to happen with just regular usage. I have not rebooted in 48 days, and currently it is using 10GB RAM (I have a MacBook Air with 16GB). I have seen some people claim it has to do with using a display scaling setting other than the default (I use 1280x800).

Gotta love when the Hacker News crowd sides with Wall Street kingpin Jamie Dimon just to own Bitcoin. This guy became a billionaire thanks to taxpayer subsidized bailouts after the 2008 crisis while regular people lost their homes, and while I don’t know that it is proven, it is very likely he was personally involved with or at the very least aware about the subprime mortgage derivative schemes that set off the entire thing.

> Sure, it's annoying that I'll need to use a VPN or change my DNS resolvers to use a pretty slick (and otherwise convenient) website archiver.

You can alternatively look up the IP address using something other than Cloudflare DNS and add entries to your /etc/hosts file for archive.is and archive.today.

Actually a sensitive product is exactly where this does NOT make sense. No matter how good their security is with their cloud version it will still be less secure than having a vault locally on your disk. That is a fact.

Subscription services to me are only justified if they are providing a SERVICE which they are with the web version and ability to sync through their own servers, however, using a local version with your own vault can be done without any service at all.

So to me this looks like them intentionally crippling their own software in order to force people into paying a subscription fee that is not necessary. They already hide the ability to purchase a standalone license for 1Password 7 trying to get people to pay the subscriptions so this is the next logical step.

I agree that running it on top of another ledger like ETH or BTC makes no sense.

That said, the idea of trusting a central bank that is completely unaccountable to the public or even to the Government is crazy to me.
