Mayor players (exchanges, bitpay) could decide to just ignore the dominated branch of the blockchain, by requiring that block n has hash h. This would lead to a fork similar to etherium vs etherium classic. Alternatively they could start no

She has meanwhile deleted her reply that showed consent with the cited tweet. I have a screenshot but that would prove nothing to you. Actually, I’m quite happy with the outcome, I paid a little bit of karma for somebody to reconsider her a

I believe that hg would be a better choice for 80% of the projects. But then i still voted for git, because that's what everybody else is using.

I don't think that will be solved in time for GDPR.

At some point you have to accept that your presence shapes (the future of) your environment.

If using a 30 year old attack costing a few hundred bucks is considered undue effort then we are all save. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Eck_phreaking#LCDs I would estimate the frequency of the attack similar

There is a missunderstanding on your part. The law is not what’s written but what the courts make out of it. Lawyers may have the experience to foretell that. On the other hand I bet you have a better life with your belief until - if ever-

GDPR is already active. It's just the punishment section that is not yet active. On May 25th, if a company has (still) data about you, they have to comply or (now) face the consequences.

You are right, nobody calls it hack. They call it data breach. Which it was, because the data was supposed to be bound by contract.

It's all claims by CA. Trump claimed to make America great again. Do you believe this? The guy is not defending CA. He ends with > I’m not arguing that Cambridge Analytica and Kogan were innocent. But he rightly points out how the m

Did you try fuzzing the process to see how stable it really is? I.e. did you try flipping a bit in your 54TB and see when you catch it?

Good luck opening a bank account in Geneva as a US citizen. Unless you bring really a lot of cash they won't touch you with a 5 ft pole.

So how is it different from Bitcoin? Except for time scale? Is it the dump part?

I‘m tempted to say think for yourself... It may sound like a different category but i found listening to Tim Ferris and Guy Raz much more positive and felt energized to try stuff. JBP helps you to do your dishes but the two other push you t

In total it’s a tiny rather peaceful group. I don’t see a danger for society. I’m sure he does help some of his followers. But I doubt that most of his followers profit long term from him. At some point they should move on for their own goo

1. I already agreed that his lectures are appealing. Do you agree that his arguments are not logic and conclusive? 2. Fair enough. I shall try if I ever hear his stuff again. With all the metaphors flying around it shouldn’t be to difficult

I would place myself in the conservative corner, but I find Peterson quite problematic. 1. It just feels too good to hear him talk in those maps of meaning lectures. But if you don’t „follow“ and instead analyze what he is saying and how he

I assume those save language would still fail to defend against spectre. The problem is that the „code path with data“ executed in a speculative branch is not considered by the compiler but „fantasized“ by the cpu. Remember that Spectre can

Say your downloader times out after 3 min. 1. Use find to compile a list of files that have not changed: find /path/to -type f -mmin +3 > mylist.txt 2. Tell rsync only to sync files on the list: rsync -a --files-from=mylist.txt
