Chilean State Bank And Chilean Branch Of Itau Suffer Pre-Trial Loss Against Local bitcoin Exchange Over Account Closures

Banco del Estado de Chile and the Chileño branch of Brasilero Banking titan Itaú have been ordered to reopen accounts for local bitcoin exchange Buda.com after the later sued over losing access to traditional fiat side financial services following account closures. The Chileño "Free Market Court" ruled that closing the accounts was premature and Buda.com's accounts with the banks must remain open until the lawsuit concludes.

Handicapped by Pacific coastline, earthquakes, and mountains which make building adequate Internet connectivity a challenge, Chile has resorted to other strategies in an attempt to remain economically relevant in our future.

Even “Locked” Microsoft Windows Computers Vulerable to BSOD Crash On USB Insertion

Code has been published which will induce an iconic "Blue Screen Of Death" crash on running Microsoft Windows installations (archived). The vulnerability lives in Window's handling of filesystems in Microsoft's own NTFS format, and can be triggered by inserting a USB drive with an exploit triggering NFTS filesystem into a running Windows computer, even if it is "locked" without any active users logged in.

While this particular trigger for the crash behavior appears to have been patched in recent Windows 10 builds, it likely lives on with a slightly more guarded trigger. It definitely lives on in an unknown number of surviving embedded Windows XP and Windows 7 installations.

Open the Books is back in the spotlight today with another deep-dive report, this time looking into U.S. taxpayer subsidies, tax breaks and federal payments into Ivy League colleges.

Below are a few key findings from the report, titled: Ivy League, Inc.

1. Ivy League payments and entitlements cost taxpayers $41.59 billion over a six-year period (FY2010-FY2015). This is equivalent to $120,000 in government monies, subsidies, & special tax treatment per undergraduate student, or $6.93 billion per year.
 
2. The Ivy League was the recipient of $25.73 billion worth of federal payments during this period: contracts ($1.37 billion), grants ($23.9 billion) and direct payments – student assistance ($460 million).
 
3. In monetary terms, the ‘government contracting’ business of the Ivy League ($25.27 billion – federal contracts and grants) exceeded their educational mission ($22 billion in student tuition) FY2010-FY2015.
