I2P is built on top on existing networks. Apparently, the darknet plan would also like a real mesh infrastructure.

According to an unsourced claim on Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human ), the largest value ever reached for this number was 13 (which is surprisingly low).

A privacy revolution would be to use client-side encryption on this sort of services, not change the TOS -- especially since questions about ownership of the data would become pretty irrelevant.

I have seen a 3 year-old failing to grasp how to use the arrow keys to control a character in a game, but swipe to review pictures on an iPhone spontaneously. There is one indirection less, which probably makes all the difference. (This doe

I've been using "sleep 28000; mplayer whatever.ogg" as an alarm clock (without any special app) for a few months now. Less polished, but it works. :-)

Algorithms are very useful to know, both for interviews and for real life coding, but a lot of the projects that you'd pursue for fun wouldn't have a lot of algorithmic content. Problems from this sort of contests force you to focus on task

OpenID isn't the same as Facebook, Google and Twitter. It's a standard, not a company.

Being able to download a dump of your data is a very poor substitute to a real federated network.

A few other comments: - You might want to drop object files, backup files and the like from your repo. - The limitation to 255 chars is weird. Not sure if C was the best tool for this kind of job, but if you're using it, you might want to c

This seems pretty neat. Two questions: - why "sudo make"? Wouldn't it be cleaner to separate the compilation part and the installation part, and only run the second one as root (and if you want to install system-wide)? - what's the license

I had started doing something similar, but in C, and with no daemons or additional sockets (ie. the program outputs what happens on the channels on stdout, and says what arrives on stdin). It works fine enough for me to use it on trusted ch

I don't know how bad Twilight is, but, while some Harry Potter fans might be nerds, the vast majority definitely isn't.

I'm a bit confused by the database license. Why do you want people to contribute additional data specifically back to you, rather than requiring them to release it under a compatible license which would allow you to incorporate it if you wi

This makes sense for a material currency, where you wouldn't want to be burdened with useless paper rectangles or metal coins. (Same thing for an embassy, by the way, which has a non-zero cost.) But for donations with a digital currency, I

Can we really say it's a "monopoly"? I would agree if users had been brainwashed to the point where they would refuse using anything else than Facebook Connect, but, as the authors mentions, there are a lot of possible alternatives for them

The blockchain proves to everyone that your Bitcoins were transferred to a certain address. The only problem is to prove that the transaction was theft and not a legitimate transfer.

He wants to make something that everyone can use. Freenet isn't there yet. (This doesn't meen that the FreedomBox software couldn't be built on top of Freenet or ship with Freenet, however.)

For musical instruments, at least, there are clearly defined technical exercises with no artistic value. They are usually necessary, but not sufficient, to be able to perform artistically.

"Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up." This seems surprisingly simplistic. Is there actually any serious science to back t
