I think it's covered under that "right to life" section of the Constitution. Deliberately poisoning people through their water supply seems like a sure-fire way to deny the right to life of your citizens.

My point is: Don't try to reason with them. Their minds are as closed as a MAGA.

I said "Don't try to reason with them. Their minds are as closed as a MAGA."

Tradesinsight? Plural? Because tradesinsight is a DNS not found, but tradeinsight.info will notify me when Nancy pelosi and other Congress members trade.

Always make sure you get that name right.

Email seems like a no-go here. It would feel like spam. If you wanted a something more conversational, I'd consider doing this over text messages.

I'd suggest no one should investigate. So you lost your Bitcoin from some massive fraud? Too bad. That's the cost of playing that game. You should not get a free pass when you ask your government for assistance, and you should not have your government investing time and money looking into massive fraud concerning Internet Fun Bucks. You assume all risk when using this kind of money.

No value?!?!? You anti-sex psychos are just nuts. Porn is both valuable and useful.

I'm happy that opinions like yours are the minority, and people like you are seen as prudish freaks.

> In particular, anything that needs regular updates is not "firm" in any sense.

It's really not about the updates that makes something "firm". Hardware is hard because it's a real physical thing. Software is soft because it's a non-physical thing, a set of instructions. Firmware is firm because it's less physical than hardware, and is more physical than a set of instructions. Firmware is software, in that it's a set of instructions, but additionally it needs to be loaded or flashed or programmed into the hardware, and stored either on-chip or in some ROM or NVRAM nearby, differentiating firmware storage from software storage on disk, tape, or some other peripheral storage. At the time, this made pretty clear sense, but over time, things were made murky by multifacted uses of NVRAM and peripheral storage.

So, "software built into hardware" is a pretty good definition. When you say something isn't firmware, it's software, that seems mistaken. All firmware is software, not all software is firmware. The size doesn't matter. Whether it's an application or a device driver doesn't matter. What defines the "firm" part of firmware is whether it's "built into the hardware". That's it.

So, yeah, you're having a definition problem. If you keep whatever definition that you currently have, then you're gonna have a bad time. If you try to "draw a firm line somewhere between the code in a tiny microcontroller running a battery charger and the operating system running on a general-purpose application processor", with this new definition, the question becomes "where is this code stored?". It doesn't matter how large it is, whether it's 100 lines of code in your battery charger or 1,000,000 LOC for your OS. If it's in on-board storage, it's firmware. If it's in peripheral storage, it's software.

Never underestimate the incentive of sucking up to management.

I think we shouldn't forget the real stars of that movie, Maury Chaykin and Eddie Deezen, both playing epic nerds. Jim and Alvin were my heroes. Not so much now.

Bitcoin is neither your wallet nor your bank account. Some people want to treat it like a wallet, others like a bank account, others like their account on a stock exchange, others as an investment vehicle, others as a hedge against the dollar, and I'm sure there are other comparisons that make sense to people. Ultimately, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, which has both it's own unique benefits and it's own unique foibles.

... and I hope you realize that your bank account CAN be completely drained without the money being recoverable. If you're trying to say it can't, then might I suggest to watch some scam-baiting videos to see how those scammers operate, and how they try to do exactly that to the elderly and the unaware. You can call it a bug all you want, but it's quite possible to have your bank account drained; and, despite what others in this thread have said, an attacker can do that from thousands of miles away.

I've watched this video a few times, and I recommend the part at 25:43 which describes agility. To repeat it here:

1) Find out where you are 2) Take a small step toward you goal 3) Adjust your understanding based on what you've learned 4) Repeat

I think this is useful as a high-level guide, and it's both easily memorizable and generally memorable. I use a silly mnemonic "FI-TA-AD-RE", and I come back to it whenever I'm working and get to a point where I have to ask myself "What the hell am I doing?"
