So it may have been intentional. Couldn't this expose Blizzard employees to criminal charges? Edit: This was written assuming CA bit = 1.

Pretty surprised that Bosch actually invested in IOTA. The tech seems fishy even at first glance. Have they not done any research beyond reading the marketing materials?

It split into ~$2700 plus ~$300. Not sure what the exact numbers were, but there was a clear pattern of one falling as the other rose, and same thing the other way around.

And that continuity can split and move back-and-forth between forks, as they gain or lose support. The sum of XBT+BCH price on exchanges fluctuated less than either coin alone.

He's not entirely wrong though. What defines the real Bitcoin: The network's hash rate? The developers behind the Qt wallet? Adoption/usage?

It's pre-installed. Their built-in adblocker will instantly get a huge market share, on the back of Chrome. There's no parallel to that with physical products.

You need a phone that supports LTE for the Free contract, otherwise you only get 3 GB of data.

The French data plan even includes 25 GB of roaming which you can use in Germany, IIRC you can choose between Telekom or Vodafone network. Unfortunately, you still have to be in France most of the time, or they will cancel your contract.

15.99€ per month for unlimited LTE in France with 25 GB of roaming in EU+USA included. No binding contract duration, you can cancel with a month's notice. Only catch is you have to also be subscribed to an ADSL line of the same provide

I have the same problem with Windows 7. "Applying updates" until just over 80%, then "Update failed, reverting changes..." followed by a reboot. It goes through this cycle 3 times before finally booting to the desktop. E

Intel can at any time decide to publish false SGX attestations. You won't know until it's too late.

If you trust Intel. In that case, why not use a centralized ledger operated by Intel? It would certainly be more efficient, and no less trust-worthy. You even eliminate a whole bunch of side-channel attack vectors on the MobileCoin software

by kbwt 9y ago
So if the coin's market cap were higher than Intel's, you could buy Intel and use the SGX master keys to establish rogue nodes and take over the network. In fact this is no better at all than if Intel were simply running the Mobil

None, because Google itself is engaging in anti-competitive behavior left and right. They sure as hell aren't going to lobby for the government to crack down on these practices when they are so dependent on keeping the status quo.

It's remarkable how fishy the whole ecosystem around Android ROMs and flashing tools really is. 95% of the posts are in barely comprehensible English. Seemingly every guide tells you to run a random binary from a file sharing host or g

VAT is not a tax on companies, it is a tax on consumer spending. VAT is merely collected by the companies on behalf of the tax authorities. What's the difference? Well, for one, the company cannot deduct VAT since it is zero-sum; they

In hard realtime code, a FIFO mutex gives you bounded wait time because you have a fixed number of threads. Interesting read: http://www2.rdrop.com/~paulmck/realtime/SMPembedded.2006.10....

> mutexes are slow Be careful with that. First off, what people refer to as "mutex" is usually a spinlock that falls back to a kernel wait queue when the spin count is exceeded. There are even adaptive mutexes that figure out a

Linux programs are notorious for containing a lot of symbol information and the toolchain doesn't exactly make it easy to get rid of them. To start with, you have to compile executables with '-fdefault-visibility=hidden'. Oth
