and what i see is a billion serf's getting exploited by a small minority of tech feudal lords. There is no alternative, except opting out of the game entirely. That is the point I wish to make here. There is no making a safe social med

I agree -- we are doomed. I have no cause. I stopped believing in democracy a long time ago. I have zero interest in helping others to understand my perspective, best we can hope for is to slow down the tech parasites from harvesting their

Of course I am in the minority. The majority of people on this planet have neither the education, interest or intelligence to understand the cage that is being constructed around them. Are you in the blissful, ignorant majority that cannot

I'm motivated by solving real problems, not artificial climbing wall problems, sorry.

No such thing as good DRM. All DRM is broken by design, and exists to take your rights away. Never make excuses for this garbage software. DRM must die.

climbing walls or being stuck in the wilderness with a bike don't sound like fun at all. pointless. I don't think your suggestion is helpful for people that have depression. The metal working suggestion from parent is far more hel

Any australian working in the US that is able to obtain PR or citizenship likely has a well paid job that provides health insurance. While I feel for the folks in the US without coverage, lack of access to affordable health care does not re

You don't need to store 3 hashes, infact, you would need many hashes for all possible cases. It is easier to drop all cases pre hashing, and only store a lower case hashed value.

Its pretty easy, you configure your logging library NOT to log the attribute, key/value pair, whatever containing the credential. If you can't modify it on the server side (which you can lazy bones), you tell your central logging

You really want to do this if you use Spectrum Cable. You are locked out of configuring the DNS settings via their cable modems (even if you supply your own). These force a DNS search suffix that leaks all DNS requests to their server, even

Did you update the wikipedia article with the correct citation? Its easy to complain on HN, takes a little more effort to correct misinformation for future internet users.

This was in 2011. They probably got them finding near hash collisions (by hand, with pencil and paper) for mining cryptocurrency in 2019.

Downvoted. If you live in the UK, you will need to buy a 'perverts card' in order to prove your age. This will of course lead building of biggest Blackmail database outside of the Intelligence Community. Nothing could possibly go

Nope, and this is part of the building case against Porn in the UK. Please ignore the lies coming from the UK, this will only ramp up as the Porn Ban is rolled out - that is correct, porn will be blocked by default in the UK.

1. correct; 2. correct; 3. Kinda but Not quite the only way -- you can convert the values in the coins into another chain, ideally something like monero in which 1. applies, but 2. does not. (Monero uses a different transaction format calle

Yeah, I will 'change' my position on this. Satoshis in a single UTXO that are split are fungible - in your scenario you cannot identify the specific sat: either a1->a3, or a1->a4. This is kind of like 'forward fungibili

Kinda. You can use mimikatz to override the checks that the private key is isolated, you can even override 'no export' flag. Timestamping relies on external trusted timestamp providers implementing RFC 3161. There are many out the

every satoshi can be traced from birth until unspent. There are most certainly individual satoshi. they live in UTXO's.

by g45y45 8y ago
Not accurate. You can trace the life of a particular 'coin' value -- which is generated in the coinbase reward in a block and spent later on in a UTXO (unclaimed transaction output). We like to pretend that bitcoin is fungible, bu

0days are not magic. Stare enough at code and you will find them. E&Y and the other Professional Services companies have a big pentesting team, and they would have made discoveries on their own regarding system security. Any company wit

You can't double spend -- you would need to generate 2 conflicting tx's with the private key. Only the person that holds the money can attempt a double spend, the miners only process and include (or exclude) transactions.

The only way forward for privacy would be the complete deconstruction of the facebook machine. There is nothing that can be done to salvage this beast. Don't be the last person to delete your account. We can turn facebook into myspace.
