Why do we have to “ML” everything? A simple database query should provide good evidence.

I’m confident that a significant portion of problems that ML is applied to today can be solved by some Excel sheets.

Million guesses per second vs thousands. Really interesting how SHA3 made its way to this blog post.

Worth noting that the CC in London operates for 15 years now. I’m sure there is a wealth of data that can be analysed, and I’m even more sure that there are a number of studies and papers that have explored its usefulness and positive/negative impact on traffic/economy/environment/public transportation.

Not really sure why people are downvoting without providing their side of the argument. Your point is valid.

There is definitely a portion of people that this applies to. However, I’d wager that the majority of the Cryptocurrency market capitalisation is from people that really want to become millionaires really fast.

We deal with this almost every week, as in, we get into systems by searching through email:password leaks and use them.

There are a number of mitigating controls that can be applied here. Most will hamper usability, some will not.

There is a “simple” solution. Enforce 2FA. If not at the login, then before “dangerous” actions (transfer funds , change password , buy X/Y/Z )

“There’s a couple of good options (and this is not an exhaustive list) for pre-made tool VMs. Obviously you have Kali Linux for offensive tools and penetration testing, but you can also use Security Onion for the defensive side – intrusion detection and network security monitoring.”

I catch myself internally debating this from time to time.

On the one hand, we are encouraged to make decisions based on facts/data/evidence. Speculation is speculation. Anything goes.

On the other hand, if we only do this we are bound by the “reality” that has been provided to us. No evolution/revolution can occur.

History is filled with documented cases of these “conspiracies”.

I’d be really interested in hearing other peoples’ views on this.

You will have to factor in the 4x associated costs as well (fuel, maintenance , flight crew, airport costs, etc).

I have 0% knowledge on commercial flight OPEX, but at first glance it doesn't sound as simple.

Google news alerts. Alternatively you can pay someone to do it for you.

I mean, apart from the moral issues here, what you are doing is illegal.

And that's fine, if it wasn't for the fact that your HN profile advertises your business.

Do you also do this to your clients?

If I'm not mistaken, he was comparing the stolen amount to the entire market cap of ETH (currently 19bil), to make it sound like it was a small amount.
