Indeed. Whatever his name is, used the fact that the FDA has to "authorize" a drug, which is more akin to an indefinite patent. Then again, the deeper we dig, the more idiocy we see. How can we expect anyone to fix: insurance, pha

Price controls? How about bloody telling the price for stuff? "How much is this procedure/appointment?" And all I get are sneers of derision or confusion. Then I'm told, "The bill will be in the mail." Yeah, we

I'm also seeing something else here too, with the "screw you, raise price by *1000" executives, schrekli (sic) being one of many. What many of these comes down to, is they own a right of patent on something that allows them t

In the truest sense of the word, if data for a given hash is on any computer, that computer can provide the data behind the hash. If that data was found 1000 years from now, and entered into the system, the data would generate the same hash

Egress filtering, or filtering packets not of the source network, would go a long way here. It wouldn't fix everything, but it would be a definite start.

The logical answer to this, which is what we're seeing in the US, is to tie every device to the corporate backend servers. This does a few things. 1. Secures endpoints down 2. Chains users to company 3. Makes cloners hard to copy produ

Oh, I certainly didn't do my homework about existing companies/websites in that market. I just couldn't think of one on top of my head (Uber, Lyft). I've also never heard of those 2 sites before. Just an idea. :)

In other words, it gives a newfound impetus to follow through with converting to Curve25519 cryptosystems. It's what we believe to be quantum computer secure.

I'm sure I could write a cronjob that would be naggy and demand to do what Windows does. And I could even use SELinux so even as root, couldn't kill it. That's what "System" is, right? /grrrr

Well, all I can defend against that, is that it's still "Alpha Software". There's stuff that's very much not for private or secure networks. But for working with data that's intended to be open, it's wonde

You WILL have to hack on IPFS software, as to not release all your adapter information. Even if you tunnel all the IPFS datastream through .onion , the datastream inside will tell everyone your IP adresses, internal (unroutable) and exter

Yeah. Those chips usually talk via SPI. There's interestingly a lot of options, including ways to boost quality. One sucky thing, is they use "dots per inch" which is just completely stupid and boneheaded - seriously... Inche

And in all honesty, the whole "but child porn OMG" is a non-sequitor. Child porn already exists on the web directly. And Tor Hidden Sites. And Freenet. And other places. The real problem with CP is that fact there's no mens-r

Sure can. What IPFS does, is looks at network topology to determine 'closeness' of nearby IPFS nodes. It then prefers 'closer' nodes, to speed up transactions and requests. For example, if we take Gangnam Style video, it

Because IPFS only does distributed storage . It has no processing power or logic to handle data transformations. Now, one avenue to handle that is js-ipfs. In order to update things like IPNS records, you need the private key of the node y

Indeed not. In fact, IPFS via the DHT, tells the network of your whole network topology, including internal address you may have, and VPN endpoints too. There's still talks in how to handle Tor connections. Because right now, if you we

Not true. You share: 1. Files you Pinned (think of as torrent seeding) 2. Files you have in your IPFS cache a. Cache files are added to when you request IPFS content b. The garbage collection triggers and removes non-pinned cont

They should be much more careful in how these types of reportings are done. You were doing a public service of already-explited machines that are snarfing credit card numbers. And that is of great importance for anyone who buys stuff online

Not quite. IPNS. IPFS links are immutable, whereas IPNS links are a mutable pointer to an IPFS hash. They can be updated at will, making them ideal for changing content with a stable hash.
