Can I see lbry://@SomebodyUnpopular without talking to the centralized search? If so that's very good as that person couldn't be deplatformed. Anyway, great job offering working and usable software. Way better than 99.99

Right, so nothing stops you from altering the search results at will, which is the most critical part of the system in my opinion. Why bother with a blockchain then? Instead of letting content creators be tipped in bitcoins or something, is

I installed the client and searched. Did the results come from the blockchain directly as seen by my client or did they come from a HTTP request to a server you run?

Okay, so for a use case like The Pirate Bay, which is a popular database of magnet links and related metadata (Description, who added to the database, when added, etc). Users search this data in various ways. Can you explain how the same wo

Actus reus and mens rea are both necessary in order for there to be a crime. In order to commit a crime, you need to do the criminal act and have the intention or knowledge of the criminal act. And you have to do it willfully, which means y

This doesn't look credible at all. If this isn't a straight up scam, it's a bucket shop at best.

No, it's also a power and money hungry agency. The airport security of yore just did their jobs and were a lot more pleasant to deal with. The traveling public was just as safe.

Remember before all the TSA nonsense, airports had metal detectors and xrays operated by airport security? Did they not also prevent guns from being carried on planes?

It sure sounds like one way or the other your job at this company will be offshored. There's no generic answer. It really depends on your role in your team, how marketable the others on your team are, and how trustworthy they are. Who

Not really, it works like this: Prior to the "contest" beginning everyone participating has to disclose what they have 0day for. In cases where more than 1 person brings 0day for a particular target then they will attack it in tur

Whoever pwns the Telsa probably doesn't even live in Vancouver, so no, they're not going to drive off in the target vehicle. Telsa would have to arrange to provide one where they live, and yeah, I think it's safe to say that

Exploits are already developed prior to the event. It's not a CTF where one can reasonably be expected to find and develop an exploit during the contest. Players get limited time to tweak what they've got in case it doesn't w

Where it would be really great is mobile. It would make voice and video apps so much better if users who trust each other could directly connect without the latency adding rendezvous host. It would also need some sort of authenticated uPnP

Yeah, it makes a real mess. It generates random numbers of key pairs for each user, breaks subject line encryption randomly, and just generally sucks. I hope it gets better, but it’s definitely not something you want to enable at this time,

Juicero definitely didn't commit fraud or mislead their investors. I'm not familiar with Clinkle, but it doesn't sound like blatant fraud either. Theranos and UBeam are scams like BitConnect.

If I were writing the press release I’d definitely include at least one sentence describing what the conspirators dastardly plan was! From the PR it’s not even clear that an expert was knowingly involved in the plot.
