> Obviously you have pay anonymously, with bitcoin, for exaple (if youuse it carefully)

Bitcoin is anonymous? Time to go to jail.

Yes.

I've been wearing mine for 5 hours (since I got up) without noticing them at all.

> I noticed their scan process is not using ASLR

You can be pretty sure that none of their software is fit for purpose if they're not using basic protections for a process which runs as a super user and parses every file it can find.

Ah the old, break the PoC to make the researcher stop complaining move but don't fix the underlying insanity. Classic.

I don't think that's possible, it would be sheathed in extremely thick steel and not something you can just splice onto.

For marine gear you either use a material which won't readily corrode, or you use sacrificial anodes which are galvanically consumed rather than something you care about.

No, but it's a harder proposition to have fibre runs to a server which is in the ocean. You can throw a normal server somewhere silly and connect to it wirelessly, this is just the one remarkable exception.

> 50% OF US LIVE NEAR THE COAST. WHY DOESN'T OUR DATA?

It's corrosive, expensive to get things to and from it for replacement, leaks destroy the hardware, it's not close to power generation, internet access needs cables because RF doesn't penetrate water, everything is going need watercooling which is rather expensive.

Depends on the browser but there's usually a 1k character limit which isn't a great deal of state. Perhaps that's counted badly so you can get 1000 char * 4 bytes for unicode, but I wouldn't bet on it being handled the same in different browsers anyway.

Do you realize it's tens of millions of dollars to spin an 18nm ASIC? They're not doing additional revisions, the (at their websites admission) loss-producing miner is as good as it gets.

They went to all the effort of getting it FCC certified and had injection molds made at considerable expense, this is the final product.

It's all about the miner! Which is useless.

It's all about the software! Which is closed source, and has no documentation.

You'll need one to develop with us! Why?

You can buy and sell services with our network! Only to other people who have $400 to drop on a Raspberry Pi.

Pity there's absolutely no documentation for any of it.
