The article says that the wallet might not be in their control. They believe it might be a part of a coin tumbling/washing operation. I think the main reason they don't use one they control is the potential to trace where the orig

I'm no legal expert, but that seems difficult for a court to do. They're not legislative (or, not supposed to be). And I'm certain the ACLU would fight that tooth and nail. Signal was subpoenaed in court, and told to give up

I've dipped my toes a bit into mycology. Spores can survive atmospheric boiling temperatures of water. Often a pressure cooker is used to sanitize substrate (wheat, and many other things) to grow mushrooms on. This ensures the only spo

Or ASCII 0x1C, 0x1D, 0x1E, and 0x1F. Because those are in the spec exactly for records based files.

I've found you can google the subreddits, and they will show you these subreddits. As long as your referrer is still Google, it seems to be fine.

A big difference I see is how much money does Google make me "watching"/skipping ads in a month? I find it hard to believe it's around $10/month. What are rates now a days?

I'll dig up the source later, but some studies show that each hamburger has an $8 subsidy behind it. I don't think the parent comment is way over stating the effects of subsidies.

I feel that is rather thin legal grounds, if the examples are what dictate legality. The fact that I can change some text that does not change the function of code, or what can be done with it, to suddenly make it more legal does not sound

Anecdata: many dogs I know of really enjoy ice cubes. A meat flavored ice cube would probably make them quite excited.

How could this argument not be used in the same way for these "random" bytes? Is there some way to verify that these were sourced as they said? Can we also be sure they weren't chosen by generating several million bytes to fi

Would it be a bad idea for the government to have a reserve for healthcare workers for the next time this happens? To slowly sell off what is there, and to restock to create a buffer. And in a time of crisis, have a large amount that can on

I feel it's also a bit about perspective. Is school for learning, or is it a state sponsored day care with a guise of learning? Especially in the early years.

No, you would have to do some authentication at a physical bank itself. You can use the numbers to request a wire transfer from the account. In fact, when you're setting up an ACH transaction for bills and such, they tell you to get th

No, it's anecdata. A lot of stuff I see tends to have a large amount of 5s and 1s. There is often 2-4s, but the amount is very often less than 5s or 1s. It's mostly just looking at trends. A few things I've purchased from Ama

Or they hand you a pen with disappearing ink. You'd have to use your own pen to prevent that. But how can it be trusted by the government that your pen hasn't been replaced?

They used the equivalent of the thumb system. Many people give 5 stars, or 1 star. There are some that give in between. Many places consider anything less than 5 star to mean there was a problem (Uber, Amazon, reviews for phone support).

In my experience, those networks only work if you are a Comcast subscriber. You have to have an account to authenticate. There would be some kind of backlash if those TVs connected to one and was able to phone home. Don't know how bad,

This is disingenuous. It doesn't classify by Socialist, but by country. Russia is #3 on global suicides, and when I think of socialist healthcare, my first thought isn't Russia. Many of the countries I think of as socialist health

The primary reason is that 13 is prime. 12 is a better number in this case for a few reasons. 12 is what we already have. So nothing would have to change in that regard. We could keep the names as they are, despite the fact they are out of

I've heard some horror stories from the video game industry. They're probably one of the tech industries that could benefit greatly from unionization.
