I'm not sure how much truth there is to that post since I haven't done any due diligence myself, I just remembered seeing it a while back. From the top comment in that thread, it looks like the company with insurance underwritten

What I'd love to see is a version of this tool, which lets you interact with binaries, in Python: http://duschkumpane.org/index.php/mmbbq It's not what is posted here, just what I thought it was going to be.

I recommend Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective. It sounds like what you're looking for, although it uses a mix of C and IA32.

I only intended to comment on the altcoins that are known scams, but draw investors anyway. Imagine you started XorNotBux, announced you were planning to sell a billion of them in a few months, then inflated the price with a much smaller su

Some of these altcoins are the epitome of the greater fool theory, where most participants are perfectly aware that it is a rationally poor decision to invest in them but do it anyway because they think someone will buy it for more later. I

Right now the prevailing attitude is that it's legal and nobody will get prosecuted for it. It's certainly possible for this to change, but premined altcoins (creators mine a % before making it public) and other alleged scams such

OK; I see what you mean now. The article assumes the only possible states are "trusted" or "untrusted", and you disagree with that assumption.

Not not x is equivalent to x using the double negation rule (DN). "Not signed out" can be rephrased as "not not signed in" and thus simplified to "signed in". Same for "not untrusted ip" equaling &quo
