Fair enough. In theory Nano's design can handle something like O(2^n) transactions per second where n is the number of nodes, while mined blockchains can handle O(n) transactions per second where n is roughly the block rate multiplie

BTC survived Mt. Gox and Bitfinex, NEM survived Coincheck, and fiat currencies survived many a bank robbery. Investor perception is low because the theft hurt early adopters, but I think that the technology will shine through sooner rather

Bitcoin alone is responsible for this reputation of slow transaction times among cryptocurrencies. Litecoin and Ethereum have the same blockchain architecture but are mined faster, so they are faster, but this linear improvement may not be

This reminds me of the privacy concerns surrounding printers/copiers, which can hold onto sensitive data after you or your organization are done using them [1]. This also begs the question of how secure these "infotainment" s

The body of this piece is much less alarming than the title: The CACP is merely an advocacy body and resolutions they pass have no effect on the law of the land. Moreover, the organization has a history of asking for powers that go well be

The primary use of wcc is to "unlink" (undo the work of a linker) ELF binaries, either executables or shared libraries, back into relocatable shared objects. If I understand correctly, this is a novel way of speeding up reverse

I had the pleasure of watching Brossard's presentation on wcc at DEF CON last weekend, and it was quite fascinating. There was a live demo of wcc "unlinking" an ELF executable into a portable library that was then linked with

Thank you! I didn't realize there was a way to pull APKs from the official source repo, rather than resorting to a third-party APK site (which I assume is not to be trusted). Gotta make sure my Pokédex is safe :)
