Ideally, passwords are in the heads of users, not accessible from a device. A key would, necessarily, be stored on a device, easily stolen by viruses or by stealing the device. Also, it takes more discipline and understanding to handle keys

> they will stay in the low single digit market share. After the whole "Windows 10" thing i seriously doubt there is anything they can do that would result in them losing much of a market share.

I still wonder why Uber is a thing. It makes no sense, it does not feel like something capable of reliable service and it got almost no use cases. Is it just a passing fad of some sort, like fidget spinners?

Can be anything from zero to 30+ hours a day. It gets closer to zero when i have problems focusing and so go into runaway internet time burning. This typically happens when some exciting/problem solving part of a project concludes, and

Funny thing is, my old OS project [1] is more or less that - it could be a typical OS with separate tasks and so on, but it is effectively a single program, and can easily be compiled as a single program with all the standard calls replaced

Didn't they kill it back in Windows 7 (or maybe Vista)? The whole attraction of Paint was that it was a KISS pixel-level editor, and it ceased to be so in the latter versions of Windows.

I made something like that for my PhD (procedural 3D models composed by natural language description). It's really easy to start such a project, but the gap between a cool demo and a practically usable thing is as vast as the void betw

Huh? No HDD, regardless of capacity, is cheaper than $50. So it would be $45000 just for the disks, 10x more. And then you need something to put them in. You'd like to buy something like 8 Tb HDDs, because the more disks there are the

Yes, the same guys who were behind "Bitcoin XT", "Bitcoin Classic", "Bitcoin Unlimited" and other similar scams. Can't see why this one should be any different.

A payment system. You want to send someone money or receive money without giving any third party an ability to censor the transaction. There is a reason that before all the "blockchain" BS it was called "Bitcoin".

Huh. Just the storage alone must have cost him $60k or so at the current HDD and NAS prices. To be honest, if i was that rich i would have done the same, being from the wrong place and generation for the modern "storing stuff online&qu

"just encrypt the sdcard" is what it does, not how it gets on the device. The github repo only contains the payload, not the delivery method. Anyway, the article answers my question - "This ransomware disguises itself as game

That sounds like a massive scam, in it's pumping stage.

Interesting. What is it's delivery method? I can't quite google if it's something that exploits a hole or something that needs explicit user action.

It's fairly common in the shadier parts of the internet. Such side-opened pages can even host various exploits (if you are on Windows) or fork bombs (in the old days).

I suspect he is either long dead or in prison. Another thing is, unlike people like Snowden he does not have much heat after him. He is a mystery, but that's it - looking for him is pointless, since it's not like he can do somethi

Neat. I contemplated writing something like that, only without the "import rlp" cheat. Basically, there were a lot of blind spots in the official documentation and it took me a while to figure out things like how to make a proper

Many small things, from compilers, IDE and mail client to a bitcoin node, magnet simulator and video-to-3D model thingy. None of it is public, however, for obvious reasons.

As someone who just heard of AMP today, i still can't find any site where it's used, nor have i ever encountered it in the wild. Is it an american thing, not enabled for other countries? Just what am i supposed to look for?

For some extra twists, contemplate one-time-pad encryption. You can claim that some random set of data on someone's machine is an encrypted child porno video, and provide a "key" that would decrypt it. Try explaining why that

I don't see how it is different from it being posted anywhere else on the internet. I.e. yesterday i embedded an innocuous message into Bitcoin's blockchain. Can you see it? I doubt it, unless you are willing to go through and dec
