The only thing I gather is it's supposed to be some sort of societal critique near the end. Still dont get it.

Probably. But my experiences are that these chips are fabless fab chips with half a dozen things on it. Reverse engineering is of course doable. But you're getting into ARM territory, with custom ARM licenses and different opcodes. It

I doubt it. There's tons of tricks and things that can be done to steganographically hide data in images. And given the algo is hidden, and the data is hidden in plain sight, we have to go to a level that can't be hidden from us.

Reported to Github, as Commercial software masquerading as various open free license projects (MIT, GPL, BSD, etc.). Also, intentional namespace pollution with existing backup tool, which IS gpl'ed. Not cool. Not cool at all. _________

Well, that being said, it sounds like there needs to be a more rigorous way of detecting these new codes. One way I can think of, is to record data on the CMYK pins on the inkjet head itself. IIRC, they activate between 17v and 22v, and pul

Because the premise of a compute based blockchain is inherently interesting. I'm very much for the furtherance of this topic and area of computation. I believed that Ethereum initially had an interesting idea. I thought their system

Ive always like Ansible/Puppet/file storage. I can quickly boot from ethernet, populate a req key from puppet from ansible, load puppet to the appropriate config needed, and off I go. No having to dork with servers one at a time.

It's not like they have the ability to bring legal action against those that pollute their areas. And unfortunately, that's how it is playing out. Richer (read: White) neighborhoods are kep pollution-wise cleaner in both soil and

I was in the irc room during that time. It was the number batted around by ethdevs in freenode #ethereum. Regardless, the very people who build the protocol, application stack, and seed blockchain machines were also the ones who had massive

It's completely the wrong way to handle this. To me, this "currency" is dead. There is no trust, other than if the creators lose more money on a venture, they'll "convince" the community to reverse it. I rememb

Indeed. But if it's just 1 guy who's the dev, I was trying to go for something that was rigorous, still yet very maintainable. Ideally, you want test->stage->prod , with puppet and ansible running on a VM fabric. Changes are

Not at all. The password sheet password is actually a GPG key. Everything stored encrypted. We suffer from NIH greatly. We end rolling our own stuff because either we don't trust 3rd party stuff, or it doesn't work in our infrastr

Tell me about it. Fortunately where I work is sane and reasonable about it. We have a password sheet. You have to be on the VPN(login/password). Then you can log in. Login/Password(diff from above)/2nd password+OTP. Then a pa

Doesn't seem that hard to mix the two. We know a route from X to Y is $miles . Detours happen, but Google is getting to the point of calculating realtime incidents. But time could be fairly compensated, as could the miles on a vehicle.
