The results are garbage. Zero correct results and tons of false positives. Checked the last dozen or so IP addresses I used. I don't see a single valid result. I torrent lots from the most popular torrents on the biggest site. You&#x27

Microsoft had the biggest market share, and a near monopoly on unskilled users who don't understand the consequences of their actions. Other operating systems didn't have much better security, but they were less attractive to malw

There is actually more than that stored in the server's database. Push messaging IDs are there, for example. But ignoring that, let's say the attacker is watching all the Signal server's connections. Who is talking to who can

See, this is what I don't understand. They don't have to trust each other to use traditional consensus protocols. What does it mean to fake a transaction? What does it mean to verify a transaction? With Bitcoin it's possible

I can't imagine the majority of users are criminals. I've recently tried it out as a means of receiving payment for completely legitimate work. The client was in a different country. The contract was signed in USD. Client sends ha

Regarding more effective settlement and cutting out middlemen: I believe dperfect is asking why a blockchain is technically necessary for this. Why can't the large banks cut out the clearing houses by dealing with each other directly?

Please excuse me for being negative, but I hate WeChat. To a lesser extent I have to use LINE in parts of SE Asia, and it's crap too. I only use them because I have no choice. I don't want to be socially excluded. The positive thi

I've looked at the Ripple site. Can you explain why a blockchain is such a big deal over traditional consensus algorithms?

by Canada 10y ago
Yep. You can run your own federation though. And maybe if it's really awesome he'll change his mind.

Nothing is stopping anyone from running their own servers, changing the username scheme, and implementing the voice signaling. Moxie doesn't complain about such usage. But that's more work than simply complaining and telling OWS w

I never get an answer to this basic question. There seems to be all this money thrown into the (not bitcoin) blockchain, but nobody is ever willing to explain in detail why that is.

Yes I keep hearing this, but can you tell me why? What are the moving parts now, and how exactly will a blockchain make them go away, given that any blockchain a bank would use won't directly represent the assets the bank claims to hav

If you know this from experience working on actual reconciliation systems, could you elaborate on why this is the case? Why is bothering with a blockchain so much better than SWIFT for example? That's a system that has third parties lo

Once a vulnerability is being actively exploited it makes sense to disclose it to the public even if a fix is unavailable. Doing so gives users the chance to protect themselves by changing their behavior until updates become available.

Exactly, which is why validating the MX is better than merely testing for NXDOMAIN. If you try delivering to something with implicit MX it is far more likely to fail than something with proper MX records. It's also more likely to fail

Depending on what kind of bounces they penalize you for, making sure the domain has a valid MX record before you send the mail might help. Won't help if you get flooded with a bunch of invalid usernames at a big email provider, but as

Best place to follow OpenBSD happenings is on their mailing lists and on undeadly.org. Building a toy OS or porting an existing one to a new CPU is a big accomplishment in my opinion. If you can do it you'll know a heck of a lot more a

You may be right. The wording is ambiguous on whether declining requires cancelation or not. Anyone seen the UI of the agreement dialog yet?

True, though I think this is a dick move: "If you cancel your account as a guest, any future reservations you have will be refunded according to the hosts' cancellation policy." So, if you don't agree to this demand by A

Yeah, it's the text for Windows architecture and internals. Security is ultimately about understanding how things work, so if you're going to delve into that you might as well learn how the system works. The security chapter shoul

"MirOS BSD is a secure operating system from the BSD family for 32-bit i386 and sparc systems" OpenBSD dropped 32-bit sparc support. And 32-bit Intel CPU support only? MirOS isn't interested in supporting any modern hardware.
