    Yang is out ...

    Well, it's too bad. Yang is out of the mayoral race here in NYC. I'm a Republican, but if it had been Yang vs Sliwa, I think I would have faced a difficult choice. Now, for me, it's a slam dunk.

    Do you use a Mac or Windows for trading ?

    As an example of which might be the better OS, think about one of the most basic parts of the OS, the file system. Why do Linux systems normally not require defragmention? Because of the file system. Windows places a new file directly after an older one. If that older file needs to grow, it...

    Do you use a Mac or Windows for trading ?

    Not many at all. I use Fedora Linux, and the installation is normally quite easy. Some customization is required (need to separately install Chrome, for instance). Anyway, the only issue I've had with Linux installations on machines with Windows pre-installed is not disabling the Windows...

    Derek Chauvin jury reaches verdict in George Floyd case

    Ok. But if a jury acquits someone for the "greater good", has justice really been served? I think not.

    Derek Chauvin jury reaches verdict in George Floyd case

    To me it sounds like Dershowitz agrees that Chauvin should have been found guilty, but the trial should have resulted in something like a mistrial. If in fact Chauvin was guilty, as the jury found, would not a reversal on appeal (simply due to outside influence) be an even greater miscarriage...

    Putin's Waterloo?

    Cool. Anyway, I hope that when the border re-opens, we can all go and see what life is like there. I think you'll be surprised.

    Mail-in voting

    I dunno. It seems to me that as you add additional hands, processes, etc to the voting process, the odds of error increase (never mind fraud). Keep voting as near to the voting booth as possible.

    Putin's Waterloo?

    True. But otherwise, Russia is a magnificent country, and Russians are great people. Lots of night life in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Good shopping too. St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Just too bad none of us can go there at the moment (border is closed to...

    Man has two guesses to unlock bitcoin worth $240m

    Yes, maybe. I guess it depends on how valuable access to the sites is.

    It's not a website with this function, it's a flash drive.

    Man has two guesses to unlock bitcoin worth $240m

    On a website that has been coded for this function, yes. For a USB drive, I'm not so sure. Maybe that is a selling point for IronKey. Very difficult to recover a password.

    Democratic definition of insurrection ...

    Democratic definition of insurrection ... a gathering of people who do not agree with or who oppose us. Anyway, I agree that the Capital protesters were trespassing. And should be prosecuted as such and made to pay for any damages incurred. But insurrection? It was more of a sit in, than an...

    Man has two guesses to unlock bitcoin worth $240m

    Frankly, at this point, I think I'd be looking for the paper I wrote the password on, rather than guessing.

    Did Trump really say "Storm the Capital?"

    Did Trump say "Storm the Capital?" If so, then I think insurrection charges are warranted, otherwise, I think not. What I have read, is that he tweeted " \“Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,\” Trump tweeted a week before Christmas. \“Be there, will be wild!\”...
