I don't see it that way. Bitcoin "miners" are absolutely middlemen. Right now they take a cut mostly in the form of the block reward; later it is assumed they will take a cut in the form of rising transaction fees. Anytime y

I could be wrong about this. For instance, http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2148250.2148477 https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/868b/443aec1e87951c8a896b12... "Improved preimage attack on one-block

There's a second hypothesis that explains why (second) preimage attacks are not commonly published: after a hash collision is produced, the crypto community has no further interest. How much was ever published about, say, MD4 after

It's great if (A) those planning to MAKE A BUCK by selling ad-blocking software or lists are failing and (B) if sites stop creating ever more hostile javascript to target the minority of ad blocking users.

Reminds me of the Sandy Bridge SATA flaw. "The problem in the chipset was traced back to a transistor in the 3Gbps PLL clocking tree. The aforementioned transistor has a very thin gate oxide, which allows you to turn it on with a very

It beats declaring bills in circulation obsolete with 24 hours notice, like India did with the INR500 and INR1000 notes last fall. It's months later, and you'll regularly encounter ATMs with no bills available; and retail establi

A physically-realizable system for solving problems that are NP in polynomial time, mass and energy would be very economically interesting, just as quantum computers are for Shor's algorithm and simulated annealing. (despite the fact t

A great enhancement would be: if this file (/boot/ssh) is not empty, and ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys doesn't exist, then copy the file there and set up key-only ssh access.

3. do you ever need to change {SLUG} but keep old references? e.g., to track a headline/title change as a story develops? {ID}-{OLDSLUG} redirects to {ID}-{NEWSLUG} is the same as {OLDSLUG} redirects to {NEWSLUG} though I guess.

1. A 32-bit hash isn't enough no matter what (birthday paradox), 64-bit might be if you don't have adversaries choosing {SLUG} strings and it's the truncation of a cryptographic hash. (compare with 32-bit public key IDs in PG

On X-based systems, xsel -ob | sort | xsel -ib But if you're in a high-octane development environment like vi, there's no need to resort to a separate terminal window to invoke 'sort clipboard'. just mark a range of line

I would encourage the author to file an ITP for soundpackage and then package it for Debian. Once that's in the Debian archive, this package using it is free to enter Debian as well.
