No, she said “zero” not “zero fucks”

“I’m sure Ms. Cortez means well, but there’s almost an outstanding rule: Don’t attack your own people,” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) in an interview earlier this month. “We just don’t need sniping in our Democratic caucus.”

So telling her to sit down, be quiet, and play nice isn't the same thing? Maybe she's trying to light a fire here in some dead wood.

Good. While I don't agree with a lot of her positions, the fact that she's willing to stand up to the establishment dems who can't stop sucking wall street or corporate cock is great.

and once again the GOP clutches their pearls...

Yyyeeeaaahhh!!!

When people talked about throwing a wrench in the system, this is closer to what I had imagined.

I wanna know if it's legit so I can renew my passport lol

Start taking action. Call out fake news reporters and distributors. Selling fear of hate in any market is terrorism if you ask me.

Don’t click on CCN shit.

CNN is very fake news. Sad

yeah who would believed them. Ofcourse it was big FUD

The title is immoral

Even tho she didn’t say this , the title isn’t wrong .

Misleading headline with a very, VERY selective quote.

I agree with her that government should take strong actions to start draining wealth out of the top 1 % and back into the middle class. However, this statement in particular isn't really accurate. Again I find myself agreeing with AOC in principle but wishing her specifics were different.

Imagine I start some company out of my garage, and it does really well, so I hire a bunch of people who I pay really well. Eventually I take the country public, but I retain some large portion of the shares so I still have control over the company I started. The company continues to succeed and becomes worth hundreds of billions of dollars, so my ownership stake is itself worth billions. I don't really see anything immoral about this story, which is sadly hypothetical for me but basically what happened with the like of Bill Gates and the cofounders of Google. It's how a lot of billionaires get their net worth that high.

I think that anytime one of these billionaires sells stock for a profit, they should be taxed at 90% on most of it, just like income in what should be an extremely high tax bracket. And there should be obstacles in place to ensure that companies play fairly with respect to their competition, which would make it harder for some of them to be worth so much so quickly. There should also be rules tying executive pay to average worker pay, and a change in the ethics of corporate America from serving shareholders to serving employees and customers. There's a lot to be done to reduce the wealth gap, and I'm not endorsing every specific thing today's billionaires did along the way to get an advantage over their competitors. But I don't see anything wrong in principle with the process of somebody becoming absurdly rich because the thing they created becomes absurdly valuable.

out of contact much? You left out the part about extreme poverty.

Total bullshit headline. That's like since Fox News shit.

The title of this post is bullshit. It is a gross misrepresentation of what she actually said.

STOP misquoting her!! Jesus Christ, this is like the 4th misquoted clickbait article about her I have seen today.

This headline shady af And I’m starting to think that all the headlines since ‘Ocassio says: tax the richest 70%’ are just creating an image of ‘FUCK THE RICH’ -person

Downvoted due to misleading headline

I'm going to buy an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez T-shirt, poster, coffee mug....

I love this woman,

and I don't care if the trump chumps vote me down...

BTW, if you are a progressive,

and you aren't upvoting comments you like,

please put down your bong and do it now.

The only reason trump is king of America

is progressives that were too lazy to vote

Yeah that whole profit motive thing. Let's abolish that. Turned out real great for the Soviet Union.

This is so incredibly stupid. Like way left of Scandinavia stupid. The people these days that go "I want socialism like Sweden. Let's abolish profits and eliminate the extremely wealthy. Wealth is immoral" don't actually understand Sweden, socialism, or human behavior.

I can’t stand her.

How is she so stupid?

I bet billionaires have “zero fucks” to give to her opinions.

Holy shit the headline completely chops the quote in half.

Success is immoral. She has a few failures under her belt and will not tolerate anyone who doesn't hate success.

The inversion of America. If you work hard, and you succeed, all should be taken from you.

She's absolutely right, however what's not mentioned is:

- Bill Gates has already donated $50 billion

- Warren Buffet has already donated about $3.5 billion

It's a thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Giving_Pledge

(Most) People work to become billionaires, and a lot of them start out in life with very little. Look at Elon Musk for example. He was born in South Africa, it’s not like he grew up in the most loving family, but his net worth is 11.5 billion. The man gets stuff done! He works hard and uses his intelligence to keep on moving through life, no matter what challenges are thrown at him. He started PayPal, Tesla, and Space X. Last year, Tesla almost went belly-up, but he saved it. He sets up a TENT where he hired a ton of people to build the Tesla Model 3, which became the highest selling luxury car of 2018 and saved Tesla. There’s nothing immoral about someone’s hard work paying off.

I love how reddit is full of billionaires worried that AOC is coming for their money.

The hill is garbage - fuck this bullshit headline.

Nice headline

Stop letting this idiot have air time. There are lots of people who work hard on both side of the aisle to make a better country. Stop with this BS. JUST STOP! Start covering the doers and the people who are trying to move the country in a positive direction. She is a nut.

Basic economics sail completely over her head. What a dingbat.

So working for a living and doing well for yourself is immoral? Wtf?! This donkey needs to go back to the farm and graze on free grass.

It is a little like saying they want to get google out of their lives while using youtube for income and having 3 gmail addresses.

You can't cut amazon out of your life while (carelessly) shopping online

Why do they have two prime accounts?!

For CDNs just use decentraleyes. Then block amazon requests through ublock and no script and umatrix if u use it. Bam amazon blocked. Not hard.

Upvoted for visibility. That's an interesting article, thanks for posting.

It seems that Qtum, Particl, Navcoin, HTMLcoin, and Emercoin are the one's the attack was successful on. Kudos for making the teams aware instead of attacking the chains in question.

I have a very specific coin in my mind probably being vulnerable since it is a bitcoin fork with posv3 and no updates since release a year ago.

So proud of being the most secure coin... :D let's see when they fix it.

Very proud of my Alma mater here. Didn't realize they had set up a digital currencies research group. That's pretty cool. Maybe I I'll go join if I get bored of my current job.

The new 51% attack.

OP question,

Given the amount of cross-pollination of ideas and code reuse across cryptocurrencies, we anticipate more vulnerabilities like this in the future. We found there was little uniformity in the security process among these codebases.

Would you all suggest coins and tokens being spun up on their own blockchains as opposed to reusing codes and ideas? also, wanted to say major respect for how you all handled this with disclosure to devs first before the public. to me, says you all had everyone in mind as opposed to fame for being the first to discover these vulnerabilities. major respect.

Wow! Super interesting read with everything well-explained.

Although the article doesn't directly say it, it sure seems like this was the result of developers copy-and-pasting code that they didn't really understand.

It also sounds like any projects that didn't respond to this disclosure should pretty much be considered worthless. While either of these vulnerabilities exist, an attacker can cripple all of the nodes of the afflicted blockchain with minimal resource usage. Several of the relevant teams have done nothing to fix the problem - I expect at least one of these blockchains will get knocked completely offline by an attack exploiting this vulnerability in the very near future.

Respect to these students for not abusing the bugs for themselves, even after going all the way to test the attacks too. The double-spending on the fungible ones like Particl and Cloakcoin could be seriously nasty with their privacy features.

Fixes to address this vulnerability have already been released for several projects, including Phore in our v1.6.0 release.

We took a different approach from Qtum because they do header-first sync which has an impact on how this attack would play out.

Thanks for this OP, I haven’t read it yet but will update post after. But just the title alone (if it isn’t click bait) is kind of PoS crippling. Damn! And I have a specific coin in mind I always had doubts about which is PoS 🤔.

Edited to update: something you all touched upon in the paper,

The chain split risk also introduces new attack vectors for hostile miners. An attacker could attempt to mine a long chain in secret and then publish it to a subset of the nodes in order to cause a chain split. Nodes in IBD (Initial Block Download) or nodes that have just restarted after a long offline period are particularly vulnerable to this attack. Such attacks can be combined with eclipse attacks to lead honest nodes into an attacker controlled chain.

that's interesting as hell. also, the coin I'd had in mind is on that list. reason I figured something was fishy (not this though) was due to dev activities and wallet address holdings. I really appreciate this write up OP. You and Your team did a dope job.

Luckily not relevant to Nano's Block Lattice technology.

Upvoted for visibility. I never knew PoS had the potential for these kind of vulnerabilities.

What a dumbass...

"pay us money or we hold your device hostage"

How does this work? I've never had to pay for porn.

Squeezing us dry

'Get an erection to fund our ejection!'

Your country needs YOU to beat off so we can beat back the immigrants.

Never gonna happen. Senate's never gonna tax itself.

Just say you want to tax the Internet and prepare for the backlash. That's what it boils down to anyway you dishonest fuck.

"which would make “distributors” of devices that allow access to the internet install software to make the offending material not viewable."

Because this type of internet restriction has a consistent and proven record of success /s lol.

That old school mentality of the appropriator trying to sin tax our sexuality :)

It's just a wall that's just the length of us-mexico border, not a wall around the solar system. Don't fall for it, the dude probably want to pocket all the extra money lmao.

If you build it, they will come - Field of Dreams (1989)

If they come, we will build it - Arizona Legislation (2019)

That stock photo is amazing.

Appropriate music: Architecture (All That's Erected are Walls) (instrumental).

Warning: The rest of the playlist contains "taxable" lyrics from a transsexual artist.

I”ll fund the fucker single handedly

I didn't occupy wall street or take a stand against racism. I didn't walk for breast cancer awareness or protest against sexism. But if you start taxing my porn, I will be in streets hurling molotov cocktails

Humans were better off before porn was so freely accessible, change my mind.

This is how riots get started.

I can't believe this border wall bullshit. Is this the 13th century and we're trying to keep the Mongols out? Fuck is wrong with everyone

Lol there goes all his votes.

Pro life tip for politicians: dont piss off everyone

Why exactly is this person a lawmaker?

Or.....just federally legalize marijuana and use the tax money from that. That’s just too much logic though, better tax the porn.

How about this lawmaker pay for the shitty wall if he wants it so bad. I didn't vote for that bafoon. Maybe pass the law with the exemption that only Trump voters are required to pay.

Republican Rep. Gail Griffin, R-Hereford, has introduced House Bill 2444, which would make “distributors” of devices that allow access to the internet install software to make the offending material not viewable. To remove the blocking software, a person would have to pay the state $20.

This sounds like the rantings of an idiot that doesn't really understand how things work...
