I've read through some of the docs and I'm still struggling to understand the point of the blockchain in this case. Specifically, what is it offering above, say, self-signed client certificates? From what I've read, you'

The basic issue is that, when you make a syscall in most kernels, it needs to do permission/capability checks. With a micro kernel, it’s more or less inevitable that you have a lot more traffic in and out of the kernel so the overhead

No it’s not. The reference Lua implementation is considered, quite correctly, to be a well written piece of cross platform C. The main alternative implementation, luajit, is considered to be nothing short of magical. Unfortunately, and I do

I'm going to assume you don't have anyone reporting to you. If you do then there'd be stuff to add to this. Start with what you've accomplished since the last 1-to-1. Go onto things that you expected to accomplish but di

Assuming you mean the US, I'm not sure the evidence leads one to conclude that this is a particularly serious issue for the general population. It is true that for the last decade the prevalence of STDs has steadily increased. But that

I would tend to agree with you. What was state socialism has evolved into totalitarian dictatorship. In fairness, pretty much every state socialist regime has, fairly quickly, evolved into a totalitarian dictatorship so it shouldn't be

> That does not mean they automatically deserved what they got Indeed, and I said the same about Aaron. Snowden's a different case as he didn't break the law to show up the law. But it's critical to history that Rosa Parks

There is no contradiction between being causal and non-deterministic. QM is both, for example. So your argument fails at that point. Not that that helps much in determining whether or not we have free will, just that this isn't a good

But that's a load of nonsense and I don't think it diminishes Aaron's memory to say so. He wilfully, deliberately and with substantial premeditation broke the law. Having pretty much stated publicly he was going to and been c

Let's say you're a manager at an index tracking pension fund. You're likely to be holding shares in the index at a proportion similar to the index weightings. And you're likely to hold most of them for the long term as y

The UK legislation doesn't use the term: privileged. It essentially says insider information is information that, if it were public , would materially move the value of a financial instrument. But it's only really applied against
317.
by lucozade 8y ago
It's probably more accurate to think of insider trading as being about trading on privileged access to information. Being non-public is more about who could, in principle, get that information rather than it being generally available.

Seems reasonable. Unionism hasn't historically been very successful outside of monopolistic industries but digital media seems a good place to experiment. Worst case it'll bankrupt a company that won't really be missed. Best

Capitalism isn't falling apart but neither is it a panacea. There are better systems, by most humane measures. Scandinavian social democracy, for example, other than being extremely expensive has its merits. But anarcho-syndicalism et

That's the great thing about anarchism. As long as you include enough syllables, we can each have our own one. Obviously, it all falls apart when you try to implement it but that's not realistically going to happen again. So there

Not sure that's a reasonable analogy. The Internet in 2001 let you do things that you would like to do but couldn't, easily, before. It was a bit crap at them but it was delivering value incrementally. Bitcoin did that initially,

If you do feel the need to correct someone, it can often help your argument if you make some attempt to be correct yourself.
