I find strange that line of thinking. That NASA and other space agencies use highly trained personnel like military pilots for space missions seems largely a historical accident.
In "The Right Stuff", there is discussion on this topic, initially trapeeze artists were thought to be the ideal personnel for the space program due to the high dynamic forces they routinely experience. Another opinion being considered was to use death row prisoners. Finally it was decided to use military pilots from mostly a PR point of view.
if it went to court, i am guessing presuambly under a plea deal the hacker would be required give back all or most of the crpyto to rectify the 'mistake;' if not, it would prove intent to steal . For example, there is the 2005 Sammy MySpace XSS incident. Technically, his code was interpreted by Myspace as valid CSS/html, but was still guilty due to intent.
This was not a hedge fund, it was a family office, a vehicle he chose after his last hedge fund blew up in 2013 and he was fined for fraud. He chose a family office probably because the disclosure requirements are not as arduous as hedge funds, then he lied to lots of banks about his exposure to ramp his own stocks multiple times by buying on margin with multiple partners, till it seems the banks found out and the last banks out were left holding the bag.
Classic doubling down on failed leverage and classic signs of the massive bubble in financial assets about to implode.
My own theory after digging sometime into Economics is that no one seems to have a clear idea what on earth we are actually doing. We all seems to have our own theory, and they all seems to answer half of the question. And in practice none of them currently models the world we have now. And it will take a long time before any of those theory are proved to be correct this time around. May be we can finally say Keynesian is wrong. ( At the expenses of our generation )
And it makes things more complicated when people start messing around with how they measure things, and messing with formulas. Numbers like China which are inaccurate. Inflation number which are messed with by FEDs. IMF prediction model which has been wrong every time for years and it seems its only job is to please or more accurately manipulate the market mindset.
Not sure what the fuss is here, the permission is literally called "Read and change all your data on the websites that you visit". It should be obvious what it can do.
As if this attack purely relied on people clicking on emails. Maybe that's 1 person out of 10.000 but obviously this used various other methods to spread.
Can anyone long the stock who is bullish about the future growth of production, cars, batteries etc write down some quick napkin math on future expectations that would justify your investment at this valuation? I have yet to hear a bull case with any actual math behind it, but am willing to hear you out.
Something like:
cars sold by yr, Margins.
battery wall, solar sold by year. Margins.
multiples assumed on revenue and earnings by yr, and at mature phase.
dilution of equity assumed to scale production.
Can someone address those things without hand waiving them away for me? Again, I'm not long or short the stock, but havent heard a coherent argument with math for going long.
I think the point is that he picks it up before anyone else does in your behalf.
He's doing the equivalent of standing in line for you outside the Apple store on iPhone 7 release day and then charging you a premium for his services.
