Oh, absolutely. I'm still an interested watcher/user of ETC. And indeed, people "voted" in the end with their mining power (which is why the original chain hasn't disappeared). I just believe that their actions basi

Given the extreme scale of the climate change issue and the lack of any significant action for decades - a lack of action that is, mostly, still a fact - one could argue that technology (massive scale geoengineering) is the only option left

A lot of games now simply ship the shared libraries with the game and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to at least partially fix that issue; it works OK in most cases (as long as you don't have a glibc that's too old).

The current PoW algorithm in ethereum is ethash and does not perform useful work during coin generation, unless I'm mistaken. You spend ether to fuel useful work. Also, Ethereum (forked) aim to switch to PoS soon (ETC may not).

What I'd love to see (don't know if this has been explored to some extent yet) would be proof of work but for useful work: think Folding@home or Einstein@home (BOINC stuff in general) in order to mine a blockchain. It's ver

They do; but the proposed system would do the same thing in an entirely non-centralized way. This would be a good thing because as it is now, there are multi-coins pools that will switch their users' hashing power to other chains depen

So if I have a different opinion than you on copyright and intellectual property, it means I'm immature, right ? You don't really give arguments to counter beyond the ad hominem attack, but let me try to explain why I think this w

"You are saying your right to access the content is more important than their rights, it's pretty simple." Not exactly; I'm saying the benefits to society as a whole offered by the post-scarcity nature of data on the Int

No, it isn't "stealing". You're not depriving them of the content, you're copying it. And you're not even depriving them of the price they charge to access that content, unless you would've bought it had

The pain of cold turkey stopping and the hardship of quitting in general vary widely between individuals; and even to a lesser extent at different periods of time for the same individual, I think. I once stopped smoking for ~3 weeks and I t

> so it would need to be at least OSI level 5 iirc You're right; actually tor reside in the application layer I think (above TLS). Although conceptually speaking it is itself a transport layer I guess.

To be fair, there is often some sort of limited version of the std lib available even for those (for example by the MCU manufacturer).

They did that by attacking the forum software/the server itself, not tor and the underlying transport layer in general. It's another layer entirely and does not give information about their capabilities in attacking tor itself (

"That's not independent verification" Agreed. It is what it is: a black box testing of a proprietary technology that cannot be easily replicated by other researchers. As for "hacking the instruments", read the paper

If you're wired (ethernet): ARP poisoning to get your traffic to route through the attacker, then listening there. Works beautifully on most if not all LANs. Though even if it didn't, WiFi by itself would be concern enough: most i

I occasionally have to work on (fairly complex) Android apps and I only use emacs and make for edition, compilation and deployment - the makefile calls the SDK CLI toolchain to compile and deploy (ant & ndk-build for the native side). T
