Yeah I agree that blockchains look attractive for handling the ownership problem, but I don't believe they are necessary for cases like this. A well designed open protocol would do the job just as well. Blockchains are for cases where

Generally it isn't illegal under any system based on common law. A necessary component a crime is mens rea, which is the intention or knowledge of the wrongful act. The act alone, even if it is illegal doesn't constitute a crime.

They were certainly promoting that concept in 2012, and for years after that. Remember, everyone was going to be able to release their own promises on it... so you could have a Euro backed promise from X which you could swap on chain agai

I owe two friends money right now, and I have two friends who owe me more than that. In order for this to work I've got to get the one who owes me to agree to create these credits and give them to me. Then, when I pay the credits to my

Well, every previous incident, those who bet against tether lost. Those who went long on tether picked up a nice quick profit and laughed at the fools on the wrong side of the trade. We'll see what happens this time.

She should try, I think she's got a great shot at being instafamous. I'll be impressed is she monetizes it.

It's far from ideal, but I like the reset provided by card expiration. Better would be if the issuer provided a web interface to turn off any subscriptions at will. Asking the merchant to do it is usually very annoying and time consumi

I prefer to be able to choose whether my card details are updated. By default I do not want updates. I will definitely give Uber my new card, but I like how card expiration kills subscriptions I don't care about without me having to do

I'm not familiar with the particulars of the Google situation, but in any case you're right. A proper share does not require the holder be entitled to vote. What matters is that the share is the property of its owner. It's no

Thailand has exit controls, so he would have to sneak through some remote area to get out. Anyway, I really doubt the Thais will sentence him to death or some crazy life term if they do catch him.

What was the advantage of these over doing the same with Linux and PC hardware? The Sun Ray looked slick but like everything Sun made was ridiculously overpriced and slower than commodity PC gear. I don't see the advantage of thin clie

London is really bad for bag snatching. Never, ever leave your wallet, keys, phone or passport in your bag. Even when you’re holding the bag. Don’t think for a moment that the theives aren’t watching you. Don’t think that you can just put y

Who cares? It's not like an invalid lookup is raising a big flag that I intend to register this domain so come on over and scalp it. Besides, there is ultimately no way to make these lookups other than plaintext.

by Canada 8y ago
Yeah, but I find dig faster since all the whois servers decided they needed to also return 10 pages of legal bullshit, and easier to check a bunch of possible domains in a loop. Whois is probably more up to date as zone updates are batched

by Canada 8y ago
Yeah, for this reason I have the habit of using dig to check if the zone exists rather than touching any registrar infrastructure for search I think it’s less of a problem now though. All of the valuable namespace is either in use or squatt

I don't want to let the password go. It gives me the freedom to rightfully access my service if I just know the secret, without any entanglent to some app, device, or other account.

You are right. The random checkpoint and interrogation proponents have been in charge for some time now. And it looks like it's going to get a lot worse before it hopefully gets better.

There's clearly two schools of thought debating here. One is that there should be a presumption of innocence, and the other is that there should be random warrantless checkpoints everywhere to catch the bad guys.

The other day my friend lost his iPhone. He tried to use my Android to find it, but Apple's site just says it's unsupported. Really thoughtful of Apple to make that feature unavailable right when users need it the most.
