Has Tor tried to do anything to reduce potentially unnecessary use of their bridges? Maybe I'm being naive, but I think some teenager using Tor to pirate stacks of blue-ray movies should have to wait in line behind a Chinese civil rights b

Is there any particular reason Satoshi Nakamoto would want their identity hidden, other than personal preference? If I had $100M USD then I probably would care a lot less about who knew it.

This article doesn't mention whether they tested or measured sequestration of compounds in the fruit, but my guess is that this has been carefully studied in the past, though possibly not w.r.t. fruit flies.

Yes or probably thousands of other transactions for some or all of the value of these wallet(s), but the real question is there a secure way to get most/all of the value out without revealing enough information to leak his/her/their identit

Do we have enough writing from Satoshi to try to correlate language/linguistic patterns against known actors in the field of cryptography?

What would then prevent a small number of players with a large (near majority?) number of coins going from miner to miner requesting a "buy-in" to prevent them from being blacklisted? It seems like this sort of behavior (unless totally abh

Not sure, but given the wording it might just be $300 as well for homes in provo that aren't on the existing fiber network (like it would be to thread up a new home in Kansas City). Totally guesswork though; could be more or less as well.

Why would this prevent anyone else from accessing fiber to the home? I thought the whole neat reaction from the Austin, TX fiber announcement was that ATT was planning on doing just the same.

As far as ad campaigns go, I have been impressed by Dove's work in blending very interesting techniques together to give people an "Aha!" moment of new perspective. This one and the photoshop plugin are for me the most surprising, but the

This isn't just looking at sexual orientation, but gender identity and sexual orientation. Just asking about sexual orientation would be something like: Choose which of the following best represents you: Homosexual, Heterosexual, Bisexu

Relationships with potential contractors, or anyone, really require the same two things: respect and communication. Replying--even a short message--in this case would satisfy this; you respect them enough to recognize their effort on your

They give their hypothesis in the paper, and each is shown with a p value < 0.05, so is statistically significant (and better than just returning false :) http://schererstefan.net/assets/files/scherer_etal_FG2013.pd...

This is a good point. The parent article doesn't link to the paper but in it they give all of their hypothesis with p values <0.05, so the can reject the null hypothesis and give statistical confidence to theirs: http://schererstefan.

I'm worried about Airware. Checking out their site, they list (prominently) among other advertised features "Free of ITAR restrictions". First of all, I'm not sure such a thing can be claimed (due to the nature of the decisions as to whet

First off, I'd call that barrier-less, which can be more important than lock-less. With the important distinction that it will break on ARM and 'weakly consistent' memory model architectures . Android's SMP Primer does a really great way
