Yes, that's the entire point. It's a digital thing that, at significant expense to run the system, nobody can forge a copy of.

The use case is money. That's it. All valid use cases involve a transfer of stored value. (eg. money, securities, collectable stuff) For everything else there's a much cheaper option, even for time stamping. Anything involving &qu

It's "wolf warrior". Avoiding Chinese made products isn't a practical solution. Contract manufacturing needs to move elsewhere.

Think of it like a big public message forum. Technically it works like one: You post messages and they're stored on the server and served up to everyone else at any point in the future. It's perfect for coordinating big groups of

You're right, I had it backwards. The procedurally generated graphic is pasted on to the original image. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that this is not digitally undressing anyone. These are not images of the naked bodie

I'm interested but don't feel like creating an account to try it. Is it really necessary to make me create one?

Can you elaborate on this use case?

As if the internet needs even more services designed to make people angry.

Yeah, it would be just as well if no other browser bothers implementing this at all. It's additional complexity for zero benefit.

I agree that we should be able to defer updates and if the client must be disabled until updated then we should be able to use it to access the local data. I'm going to have to take the new code at some point, but maybe I want to delet

It's a lot more than theoretical that he was blowing smoke. It's almost certain that he was. Assange is personally aware of how to crack NTLM hashes. If there was any actual intent to crack that hash I'd expect to see a lot m

Given that we can plainly see from the chat logs that the allegations in 19-22 are baseless, why is it reasonable to believe that the allegations in 4-6 are supported by evidence? It seems just as likely to me that Assange was advocating fo

The allegation is made in paragraph 26 of the first section of the document you linked to. The conversation I understand this allegation relies on is on page 6 & 10 here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/8861

I'm not seeing anything in his Wikipedia or recent Google results that suggests I should disregard him. What am I missing? What is it about his past that motivated you to post this innuendo?

Those are good points, especially the second one. I still speculate that the motive is more trade than security however.

Sure, could be. Maybe it was even Zuckerberg's idea, who knows. Regardless, the strategy is to pressure the CCP to allow better China market access by imposing restrictions on access by Chinese companies. And just like the CCP, this ad

This is retaliation for China's unfair practices. It's not about propaganda, what videos are allowed or disallowed, or who might see which videos you watch. It's about the fact that valuable US tech companies aren't allo

The specific transaction this post refers to was 1813 bytes. It had 12 inputs that had to be signed for making it larger than average. For $10M I'd be willing to manually type out the 3626 hex digits, or if feeling lazy splurge on a $1

It just doesn't work that way. The wallet has a secret which can be used to sign a transaction to spend the balance. It doesn't need to be connected to do this. The transaction is a serialized piece of data which can be broadcast

I keep hearing that, and yet see mailbox hacks where the attacker tells accounts payable to update the payee's account and the money goes bye bye. Seems to turn into an insurance matter. I'm not sure why, but apparently just getti

I can't believe someone would even allow a system with that balance to even connect to the internet. It's like filling a car with gold bars, driving it around town, and hoping nothing bad happens. He could have created another wal

It's amazing that anyone paid $5 for the name now. Who do they expect to care at this point? A reverse takeover for one last pump and dump hurrah?

I'm vouching this comment. I've run a lot of cryptocurrency stuff, and in my opinion XRP nodes aren't worth the trouble to run. Because the consensus is decided by a validator under the control of the Ripple company there&#x2

It's not as if the police are paying anything. The city of Toronto will pay $16M in compensation resulting from the behavior of its police department.
