I like how your response to criticism is to ignore it, and say how great your product is in the third person.

You're missing the "tamper evident" part. A laptop with the LED wired using a microntroller looks externally identical to a laptop with the LED wired inline. But you can always tell whether a cover is over the webcam or not j

It really was significantly under a second. This was a much older model of MBP, though. A comment elsewhere in this thread suggests that maybe Apple switched from simply wiring the LED in with the camera to using a microcontroller for this

And I thought I was clever for turning the light on for only a tiny split-second to take a picture... (I wasn't writing malware. I put the program on my own laptop before I sent it in to be serviced. http://ecritters.biz&#x2

If anyone ever makes that claim, be sure to tell them that.

My point was that Christianity forbids practicing Hinduism just as much as it forbids practicing divination. Being forbidden by religions does not make something non-religious.

Most religions frown on other religions, too.

Except that standardized tests are reused, which is another difference from real life problems. In real life, you're not always solving a problem that numerous other people have already solved, and posted solutions to.

How about dominatrices? Are they evil? I think consent is the issue, not whether you would want it done to yourself.

How about unscrewing the thing from the wall and touching the furnace control wires together?

I disagree -- some apps are better when hover effects appear instantly, even in response to scrolling.

But I asked for usefulness, not just logical coherency. By that I meant useful in the context of your claim, which was that someone could believe in the Great Society programs without believing in positive rights. Not all logically coherent

I can imagine sets of negative rights which allow taxation and are logically coherent, but there are none which I can imagine anyone considering useful. Can you give an example of such a set?

The growth decays geometrically: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply . 18 million BTC in circulation will be reached in 2020. Deflation doesn't necessarily mean the currency supply doesn't grow at all

No. The number of Bitcoins in existence is capped at 21 million.

How about max arbitrated transaction? It at least requires significant capital to be a scammer.

by eurleif 13y ago
Not with a reputation system. Perhaps the reputation system could even be based directly on the blockchain; just sum the total BTC the arbitrator has arbitrated in the past.

Why would you spend your USD if you can convert it to BTC instead and it will be worth more tomorrow?

>Make profiting from it (eg selling pictures of said actual harm) illegal. Can't someone accused of selling child porn claim it's fake just as easily as someone simply accused of possessing it?

FWIW, simulated child porn laws aren't just about "thought crimes". They're motivated by the fact that defendants in cases involving real child porn sometimes claim the child porn is simulated, and it can be difficult an

Why is it more expensive in Brazil? Is it subsidized in the US because of expected add revenue?

I can't tell if you're pointing out the problems with regulating software, or seriously suggesting this idea. That's scary.

If this is a honeypot, couldn't they conceivably deanonymize users based on timing, using either ISP data or data from honeypotted Tor relays?
