TLDR: CME testing negative prices for commodity futures contracts.
I wonder if this will eventually come to equities as well. Is there a niche where it makes economic sense? Public unlimited companies maybe?

Stealing your SMS messages with iOS 0day
This is a special post because I fully based on another researcher, s1guza’s 0day. All of this story began from the following tweet:
Siguza told us that his 0day was patched in the iOS 13.5 beta3. So this is actually a sandbox escape 0day for the newest,…

Universal Relation between Corrections to Entropy and Extremality
> Perturbative corrections to general relativity alter the expressions for both the entropy of black holes and
their extremality bounds. We prove a universal relation between the leading corrections to these quantities.
The derivation is purely thermodynamic and the result also applies beyond the realm of gravitational
systems.

For the first time, we show that speculative execution enables attackers to leak sensitive information also across cores on many Intel CPUs, bypassing all the existing intra-core mitigations against prior speculative (or transient) execution attacks such…
