What you're describing is basically copy-on-write: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copy_on_write , which is a part of most modern filesystems (ZFS, BTRFS, etc). That makes it software-based, but the idea is the same:

That's not true-- if you built it into the protocol/client, then transactions from the blacklisted addresses would simply never be accepted into the blockchain; there would not be the possibility to spread them around. But I doubt

I personally wouldn't call that position CTO. I prefer to use the C-positions for people who manage others, i.e. who set out the vision and direction, not the ones actually performing all of the lower-level work. But your opinion is, o

The grocery store I usually visit shows the price for all of its products both per unit and (much smaller, below it) in price per kilogram. I look at that all the time, and it's often surprising which of the products is actually the ch

Also, the resume says that you were Marketing Director somewhere, and that you were CTO at a company with 2000 employees. Is that actually true? If not, why are you trying to imply it? That's the type of bullshit on a resume that'

Your question contains a very teleological narrative, in that you assume/recognize a natural evolution from the first to the last, with cause and result. Partially because you take all of mankind as one group. Then, to look at your que

How is it a step down? Without SNI, the public IP you connected to also uniquely identified the domain/cert you were visiting.

A specific fun example: I learned the insight that you can make a cryptosystem (stream cipher) out of a PRNG by using your secret key as PRNG seed, and then XORing your data with the PRNG output stream. The Coursera cryptography course was

Only issue I have with mine is that they have non-expandable 4 GB memory, since it's soldered onto the motherboard. I think some of the later models can be manually expanded up to 10 GB.

No, it's not the same. The poker sites you mentioned did try to pay (albeit with some delays); what did them in was that they spent their customer money on running their business, among other things that are in hindsight completely inc

Would it be possible to use three color lasers, and create full-color images? On a second thought, that would probably require variable brightness, or being fast enough so you can move slower on regions you want to appear more bright...

Does PURIFY get rid of the warnings by suppressing them, or by disabling code temporarily for debugging purposes (since it mentions macros)? The FAQ seems unclear on that point.
