I never used to be particularly sentimental, and as I've become
increasingly ancient, I've also become increasingly cynical rather
than sentimental. Go figure.
Ah, that is much better John. You've graduated from "butterball" to "dude". And... you're correct of course wrt hacking. So many hacks, so little in the way of proper mitigation schemes. Yeah, with so much compute power getting wasted on marketing and so little on doing stuff as you've mentioned, encrypting sensitive information. And so it goes pretty much. A new day, a new hack. So? we're supposed to trust digital money? I think not.
