I know I'm not financially liable, but when the bank has to cancel and reissue my card (with a new number), it's still annoying to have to go and switch it everywhere. Smaller surface area (so less places to change) helps with tha

With the way the article compared it to donating organs, I figured this was a system for releasing information after death. In that case, the de-anonymizing problem is less of an issue. (Informed consent of this problem would still be neede

3. I think he was referring to aggregate file size (total amount stored) not a single file. If that's the case, his point still stands. 4. He was probably saying that, as the average age of the nodes in the network goes up, the chance of th

The "facts" on the reunification page are... interesting: http://www.korea-dpr.com/reunification.htm It's so far out there, I become suspicious that this is a joke. But then, most of the news I hear from N. Korea falls into that category
