A "…by reasonable readers" can be assumed. If you want scrupulous disclosure of relevant affiliations inline in every single comment where they could apply, I think you're in the wrong place. As you note, it's not a site

When a commenter takes strong stands on the relative merits of projects or commercial products, and there's a whiff of involved partisanship, a clickthrough is pretty easy & wise. And, it often has the added benefit of more useful

If your analysis centers on 'servers', I think you're missing the point of concerns about describing an "IRC network" as being "purchased", and other aspects that make some Freenode channels interesting.

You may want to make clicking through a habit when commercial & project interests may be involved. HN's minimalist post format isn't amenable to adding such disclosures all the time - but making them available in bios is pract

If you're interested in a long-term hedge, and all the 30% down-days are eventually offset by a soild long-term up-trend: yes, sure, why not? If asset A reliably loses 4% of its value per year, in a totally-predictable straight-line, a

An entry in the HN bio should be considered sufficient disclosure.

Not fully up on the controversy, but I suspect because it implied the "freenode IRC network" is something that can be "owned" - when it's more complicated than that. (A company can be owned, legally, sure, but an on

I'd love to see a reboot - in fact, I think it'd be the best way to repurpose & extend the premise & lore & themes. The setup for SG1 was pure scifi gold, delivering all the frills fans could want: • 'relatable 20

But also, in practice, the fame of announcing such a discovery (with or without an explanation of the method for creating it) could be worth more than $26k. And if you wanted to profit from it, via submitting the transaction or not, you cou

This is the same error the CDC & FDA made in the early stages of COVID, insisting on fussy rationed tests based on hand-wavy ideas about public misinterpretation. That error likely contributed to hundreds of thousands of preventable dea

Are you aware of any practical SHA-256 collision attacks? What do you expect the results would be, if within the next few days it were discovered that there were two different files, with the same SHA-256, each claiming to be the Bitcoin-0.

Another important wrinkle is that Chia’s proof-of-space needs you to prove you’ve stored the right cryptographic noise - rather than, for example, any useful data.

No - it’s a bit more like preprinting big ranges of lottery tickets, that require giant look-up tables moreso than raw computation. So it requires the dedication of some hard/rivalrous real resource, storage space, other than either st

Alas, a lot of that supposed AZ stockpile traces back to the troubled Emergent Biosolutions facility. I don't think it had FDA certification when it produced them. Exactly zero of the J&J doses from that facility have been given to

It's true an SGX compromise means most of the MobileCoin privacy goals are still met. But dsome compromises would open up new methods of traffic analysis, and the SGX-dependency still makes the consensus process dependent on Intel&#x

Unaddressed: that the reliance on Intel SGX for MobileCoin's consensus-system gives Intel a kill-switch for the network.
