Must not have been on the blockchain

from here and here

I imagine if the job offers had been on the blockchain, rescinding them would have been a lot more complicated what with it being an immutable public ledger. Perhaps they would have had to fork the project in order to invalidate the transation? Although that hasn't always gone to plan in the past and it would get pretty tedious if they had to do it with any regularity. Maybe they would have used some kind of smart contract as an employment contract (assuming they even use employment contracts rather than being an at will employer).

Timmies rustling your privacy jimmies

from here and here

I wonder how much of peoples data plans got used up by this app sending location data to the server every few minutes. If you want to get away with something you're gonna have to be more discreet than that.

The lowest tech ATM robbery


Watch on YouTube

He's got no heavy machinery, no vehicle of his own, no apparent tools of any kind. It seems like he just unplugged it and started dragging it away. I honestly would have thought ATMs would be heavy enough that you couldn't do that. I certainly have my doubts that he would have been able to hoist it up into the bus. Not without help, at aleast.

When privacy's highly prized

If you do use this technique, make sure people see you going in there with the launcher. It should save on both the cost of extra rockets and clean-up.

It's a good thing you don't have to read this code out to a human.
