You may be able to find an extension for your browser of choice to do just that! I have one for Firefox but I’m on mobile right now and can’t find it. I can send it later if you’d like. But they do exist!

Veracrypt 1.18 was audited in 2016 by the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund [0]. It is incredibly unlikely that a random NSA backdoor is sitting around on a high profile open source project like Veracrypt. If you are still skeptical y

Let us say that there is nothing beyond death, does that really mean that life is ultimately pointless? I'd argue that the idea that there is nothing beyond death is what makes life all the more meaningful. We are only going to get one

I feel this. As a first year Computer Science student at university I am currently torn between staying as CS or switching to Computer Engineering. I am really interested in the low level aspects of computers from a software perspective (OS

With the old v2 hidden services (16 character long onion addresses) it was possible to recover the onion addresses of any service running on the Tor network while the v2 hidden service was running. However, that issue was only present in v2

This is incorrect. A Tor hidden service is fundamentally different from port forwarding. If you don't have the hidden services onion address (v3 address) then you physically cannot make a connection to the hidden service. This is becau

This is completely incorrect. It is physically impossible to make a connection to a hidden service without the hidden services onion address (I am talking about the current v3 onion addresses, the ones that are 56 characters long). This is

I think I cleared up what was left unmentioned here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30620496 I like your initial explanation sp332, I thought it was good so I elaborated on it.

by I_Byte 5y ago
I think I may be able to help sort out the confusing bits. I know a lot about Tor so if you have any further questions feel free to ask. Sp332's comment is a good explanation so I will simply expand upon it. Also, if I misunderstood yo

Thank you for sharing this story! I really enjoyed it!

The depreciation of v2 addresses is the best course of action in this case. v2 addresses consist of the first 80 bits of the SHA-1 hash of the hidden services 1024 bit public RSA key. This sentence alone is enough to make any cryptographer

From my point of view the store model simply is more convenient for consumers and worth the extra price. I know that I stopped pirating games, music and movies when I started using Steam, Spotify and Netflix.

I think that the Twitter thread is less about bias from datasets used to train ML apps and is more in reference to the application of biased ML apps that are supposed to identify criminals (which have been historically bad at identifying no

Ooh, man I’m really not on the top of my game today. Thank you for the explanation!

The article is an April fools joke. I let my guard down and it got me as well until I looked at some of the other comments.

I was unaware. Thank you for the correction! Do you have any further reading on this topic?

Ah, I didn’t mean to come off as dismissive. My bad. When I wrote my comment I only had consumer hardware on my mind. However, I realize that C isn’t simply limited to this new modern hardware either.

by I_Byte 5y ago
C was created during a time where instructions were executed linearly with no vectorization, memory was a flat space with no CPU caches, and there wasn’t a branch predictor that may or may not execute the correct program branch in advance.

Bitcoin is still being developed yes. However, what are the chances that old stagnant wallets, like Satoshi’s, are moved to a new quantum proof wallet? Are we to trust whoever tries to move Satoshi’s fortune 30 years from now when all the o

But if it wasn’t the fake money that allowed them to stagnate inflation then what did? As someone not very well versed on economics I find this whole thing interesting and would like to get a good picture of what actually happened. Edit - I
