Anyway the story is my friend (who is white) was sitting at an airport in China one day waiting for his flight
This other white guy sits next to him and strikes up a conversation
Within 5 minutes the other white guy is telling my friend how he's a professor at [x] university in [y big city] in China
And that he's had sex with a number of his grad students in exchange for approving their topics, being their advisor, etc. etc.
Like putting aside the awfulness of it, it just made me think how terrible westerners in Asia feel like they have nobody to brag about their 'conquests' to and will literally tell the first white person they see at an airport

In conclusion if you're an old white guy traveling in Asia wearing a loose button down and socks with sandals I'm gonna give you a severe side eye

andrew from yo is this racist joked on one episode of his podcast that maybe there really is such a thing as "white mans burden" in that being white means you have to deal with other white people automatically assuming it's cool to say gross racist shit around you all the time

Mayor Mike Duggan detailed Monday how Detroit has been victimized by cyber crimes, including how a city database was frozen in April and held for ransom.Duggan said the city database was held hostage for a ransom of 2,000 bitcoins, an encrypted digital currency. A bitcoin is currently worth $401.75, making that ransom worth $803,500. Duggan said the ransom was not paid and the database wasn’t used or needed by the city.

Bitstamp got "hacked" for 17k (or $5 million worth), Vault of Satoshi shuts down, seems like someone anticipated this and dumped a bunch of coins onto the market over the weekend, dropping the price to sub-270 levels. If Bitstamp runs like Gox it could drop it even further. And the BFL liquidation/subsequent panic selling hasn't even happened yet. Good time to sell short.
