My understanding was that Satoshi Nakamoto is an alias / the true author(s) of that paper remains anonymous. For me that's where the scary bit of blockchain lies. i.e. It's very tempting to go the government conspiracy theor

A UUID is not always non-predictable / entirely random. For example: `NEWSEQUENTIALID()` in MS SQL Server uses a randomly generated UUID, then auto-increments from there. More info on this function's usage here: https:/&#x

Good point on ReportURI having better abilities to detect false reports. It's not mentioned (at least, not on the front page; I've not delved), but definitely their larger dataset will make it much simpler to blacklist IPs suspec

ps. You could implement your own functionality to collect these reports. The Report-URI product (as opposed to header) is just a pre-written service to save you rolling your own. You just need to build something to receive the HTTP POST s

To get this reporting to work, you need an HTTP header in place. Historically (fairly short term history) this was "report-uri"; hence the name of their product... however this has since been replaced by "report-to". Mo

Sounds really pragmatic. Two people editing exactly the same thing at the same time sounds confusing; not just really hard to implement. i.e. Why would anyone want someone amending as they type. This approach makes the user experience si

It's not a great headline given many navigational tools vastly predate this. E.g. the (arguably) most obvious maritime navigational tool being the compass: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_compass#Earl

I used to agree, but since adopting the Allman style have found that in many cases it's very helpful in making code readable (especially if using an editor which doesn't provide any auto-format options). That said, some languages

Maybe we need nullable checkboxes; so you have to explicitly make a choice either way, rather than leaving things to default. - If you have to opt in, most people won't bother as it's not of direct benefit to them (even though ove

Nice approach; great to see others thinking about the issue (and unlike me, actually developing something that does something about it).

On the positive side, someone could provide a library which covers these but doesn't require going through a third party. i.e. that library could provide a "single api" with none of the risks of picking an unknown third part

DATE support. Help mentions INT REAL, and TEXT. Having support for dates would be useful; especially if this enables us to treat dates as multi-part values; e.g. pivot by year & month instead of by the complete value.
