If you don't mess up, nobody will know that you did it anything at all. They don't seem to publish statistics on these things very often, but my gut tells me more people get away with crimes than don't.

They can shut down websites and businesses that facilitate transactions, arrest people who are caught in bitcoin exchanges, and demonize it in general. But none of these things will actually destroy the system. I believe they would have to

Kind of off topic, but I am curious: is this one of the advantages of functional programming - the notion that you can prove or disprove certain things about the code and therefore optimize the compiler, based on such proofs, to your heart'

Considering how many IP addresses they are getting, how many of those will end up being attributed to the wrong person? I don't know anyone who has a local network at home that hasn't been shared with visitors. WEP can be cracked and un

A video of calculator showing up after clicking a link hardly constitutes proof of an exploit. Considering the fact that they aren't going to publish the exploit, I just want to point out that this kind of thing could easily be fabricated

But if you enable p2p communication between javascript clients, there should be nothing stopping you from implementing that kind of stuff within the browser.

Even if you were wrong, I don't think you need to apologize. Almost all of his comments were trying to promote something rather than provide meaningful discussion.

You are 100% correct. Benchmarking Javascript on "well-written Javascript applications" doesn't even make sense to do. When benchmarking stuff, we should be worried about things where speed actually matters . For instance: What FPS rate ca

Minimum round trip time between San Francisco and Tokyo is about 60ms due to the speed of light, which means in practice FPS games are unplayable across the ocean. If they manage to implement this shit, we'll be able to have FPS games hoste

Does this conflict with the notion of the speed of light being a universal maximum speed? If teleporting information causes bi-directional communication to be instant, aren't signals being propagated at faster than the speed of light?

Their subscription only lets you watch the latest season. However, many shows are stories that are best watched in order from the first episode. Instead, they should provide the first episodes of every show for free, and all seasons get u

How about you give the aptitude test and scholarship(s) only to the poorest students? Assuming the scholarship is being donated because Africa is poor, this seems the most obvious thing to do. Also, the poorest students and families would b
