Knowledge is not the problem. In fact, knowledge is a trivial problem because with electronic ballots, you only need a single guy with the right knowledge and he can compromise the entire election. The old way, you need an entire army of id

You can decode the token without the secret. Generally JWT is not encrypted and you shouldn't put sensitive info inside. But you can't modify the token without knowing the secret, because you won't have a valid signature. S

Your comparisons overlook a major difference between the paradigms of paper and digital ballots. It's the same problem with autonomous cars. An unsafe car can cause a single crash. An unsafe autonomous car program could crash every car

In this thread: people who won't turn on uBlock/AdBlock because "the poor websites won't make any monies" and would rather load gazillions (literally tens if not hundred of megabytes per website) of tracking scripts

You voluntarily connected your cell phone to their cell towers. Why do they even have to tell you they're recording this information? If you don't want them to know where you are, howabout... don't connect to their fucking ce

Honestly. Or leave a goddamned voicemail. Nobody leaves voicemails, so if you leave one, I'll listen.

I trust two countermeasures over just one.

Scala's type system is also turing complete. They sometimes use type lambdas to get around some of the inexpressiveness of the type system.

Yo dawg, do you need a programming language inside your programming language?

At this point I bet they leave the 1999 there on purpose.

After spending several years programming with Scala and Haskell, doing back to Java feels like being placed in a straightjacket.

The majority of participants in the Bitcoin network? Or the majority of its computing power? This is a major worrying part about Bitcoin. Would it be really that difficult for a nation-state level player to buy enough capacity on the networ

> Fork Bitcoin I love it when people say this shit. Ok, I'll just go fork Bitcoin. Unless I'm not a programmer. And I sure hope that somebody else follows me into my fork. Only a group of major (powerful) market players will ha

I really do not understand this argument or belief people have, that they can send out their information into the world, via a network of unknown intermediaries to a private third party in another country, and somehow their data is still &q

Did you read? The fact that you pay a $185,000 fee first. And then in order to make your $500,000 bid, you have to put that money in escrow. And then, you might accidentally remain the highest bidder and lose all that money in exchange for

Oodles of boilerplate to do stuff that's a (simple and understandable) one-liner in several other languages. It's a dumbed down language, not a simplified language.

I would categorize it as "hot shit".

But Scala is far from a simple language and Akka makes it even less so.

To me this actually reflects the opposite. There is no contract negotiation, just a click-wrap agreement the terms of which are dictated to drivers by Uber. Prices and policies are dictated by Uber. Fees are collected and paid out by Uber.
