It might be worth taking a look at Mattereum [0] as an example of work in this area. Much of their work has been on how to make smart-contract based 'ownership tokens' (akin to NFTs) enforceable in existing courts in as many globa

AFAIK only the pool operator can see the full set of transactions for the block being mined. Pool workers only get to see the block header for the new block. This header only contains the hashed root of the transaction tree, and so they are

Delphi XE IDE (2010): Crashes often when stepping into multi-threaded code, frequently 'forgets' whole families of types. Throws a fit if you switch git branches from underneath it. In its defence it does compile damn quick!

Gut flora in humans appears to have a significant influence on weight gain/loss. Perhaps ABs fed to livestock tilt towards weight gain.

Wow, this is really appropriate for the day I've had today. Repeatedly failing to get a brand new install of Bitcoin Core to index and sync with the blockchain. I finally dusted off my Memtest86 and voila, bad RAM stick! I suppose cryp

Downvotes require a karma threshold (of 500 IIRC). BTW, whatever you do don't overuse the 'flag' feature on stories as it seems when this is revoked it is permanent! I lost mine when trying to encourage news other than the pa

Failing a 'dream bard' like you mention a fairly good alternative is a laptop (scraptop) with a broken screen. It may need to be fairly high end, e.g. many Lenovo models I've seen (even X series) have two m-PCI slots availabl

It possible that the ballot box is no longer the biggest tool in your kit. Stick your neck out, support a local cause that is affected by this perverse phenomenon if you can. Myself, I have been arrested multiple times and have convictions

Here comes the corporate damage control! Bluemix is too little too late, and appears to be an advertisement for all the open-source 'cool' tech that IBM did not invent. Let's not even get into the fraud that was the share-buy

I think what will happen is for any given target a weighting will be inferred, giving the likelihood of that person being sarcastic or joking. As more and more data about us is collected, about what we say/type vs. what we actually do,

How about DNSCurve for traffic between you and us? (client requests). That'd be nice!

This looks very much in the spirit of Yegges' 'Grok' project at Google [1][2]. Does anyone know if that project is still alive? [1] http://bsumm.net/2012/08/11/steve-yegge-and-grok.html [2] ht

I didn't say you won't get your money but that legally speaking the money, once deposited, is not yours any more, it is an asset of the Bank. This is why you'd need insurance/government-guarantees during a bank failure,

Don't forget, 'real' bank accounts work like this as well. The money is no longer yours once you deposit into an account. The bank represents it as a liability on its balance sheet. As an account holder you are an 'unsec

Scheme syntax and main semantics are taught by the first couple of lectures IIRC. The main issue for me with the book and to some extent these videos is the assumption of the student being fairly comfortable with certain (fairly basic) math

Well, it's more of a 'they are breaking the rules of our community' outcry. Sure some may be crying out for law enforcement to get involved. I agree that those folk are being naive and/or hypocritical. I think Bitcoin is

Good points, especially treating addiction as a medical condition. There's a lot of folks on SR, or whichever is the latest online drug market, selling good quality and relatively safe soft drugs. They are able to earn reputation in a
