Brick-and-mortar banks often don't want to provide these to existing clients, either. I got the runaround from mine when I tried to open a TreasuryDirect account.

Good news: the legislation doesn't target you as an individual. "Operating system provider" means a commercial or non-profit entity that controls the Internet-enabled device's operating system, including the

I don't think it's helpful to chastise people for acting in their self-interest. I am willing to individually give up a little to collectively gain a lot. That makes sense to me. But, as we have agreed upthread, this isn't

So why should I bind myself to it, if it's reached this point? The master's tools won't dismantle the master's house. Subjecting myself to a collective bargaining agreement meaningfully limits my individual power, but

I recommend that you read your collective bargaining agreement more closely.

We agree, then, that it's ineffective at its stated goal of constraining an employer's power.

I used to get really upset when I saw a car on the road with obscured or disfigured plates. The rise of Flock/ALPRs has done a great deal to morally rehabilitate this behavior.

Yes. Huge boon for chain analysis companies, even in cases where the coins moved long ago and are no longer sweepable.

The STM32 in the ColdCard has a 96-bit UID "fused" at the factory. The lower 32 bits of this are seeded into the Yasmarang PRNG's initial state. Possession of a ColdCard with a UID matching a contested wallet might be able

The VeraCrypt documentation disagrees with you: > If you need plausible deniability, you must not use VeraCrypt to encrypt any part of (or create encrypted containers on) a device (or file system) that utilizes a wear-leveling mechanism.

And terrible (non-)response from VECV, if they have any interest in receiving timely disclosure from future researchers.

It would also give you information about the order in which blocks were written, and the historical state of the disk. Because of wear leveling, block allocation isn't just a one-time initial thing; the mappings between logical and ph

Modern SSDs are log-structured under the hood. The presentation to the host system as a random access block device is an abstraction on top of that, emulating the semantics of spinning rust. Inspecting the underlying log will reveal the l

Thank you. I decrement my Anubis-ire counter by 1 whenever I encounter a site configured like this.

Anubis is the penicillin of web hosting. Every individual practitioner has a strong incentive to overuse it, because it's extremely effective for them individually. Every additional practitioner that uses it increases the selection

> Until scrapers start implementing it en masse If it becomes widespread (as it has been doing), they will. Anubis' strategy only works while it remains a niche approach only adopted by a small number of sites.

I share your frustration with the sluggish uptake as everyday currency. This is, however, a social and political issue rather than a technical one. People don't see the problem with just using US government dollars; they buy the ener

What I'm saying is that your (and others') distaste for the amount of power currently allocated to it is an aesthetic preference, and has no bearing on the viability or utility of the Bitcoin network. It will consume exactly as m

It boggles the mind that this is allowed by ICANN.

Bitcoin is designed to be unkillable; the network won't die just because some people dislike it. The difficulty adjustment will keep it going no matter how much or little hash power is spent on it. As long as it doesn't die, it

Instead of throwing an LLM on top of it, just give me direct access to the levers that the agent is allowed to pull on my behalf. A sufficiently motivated attacker will be able to sweet talk the agent around whatever natural language &quot
