Anyone have a link to the text of the article that doesn't go all wonky (including an undismissable "gone fishing" dialog) on my phone?

Practically speaking, couldn't I just tweet the SHA1 hash and let Twitter be my trusted timestamp authority? Assuming I don't work for Twitter, it's unlikely I'm able to modify the timestamp on a tweet. (The blockchain h

I think the point was that time in the center of the star is more affected by gravity than at the surface. Whereas someone on the surface (if that were possible) would experience greater time dilation relative to the center due to his high

Wow, those quotes are awful. It looks like the article was rewritten since your comment, though.

This idea is generally called "trusted timestamping": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_timestamping One example would be to take a photo of a rental car showing damage at the time you rented it and be abl

This famously came up during the Apple/Samsung suit, where the jury's foreman went around making misinformed statements about patent law in mainstream media: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120830/0206

Probably good advice in general, but when you post a comment like this (or upvote it) on a story about police abuse, it comes off like blaming the victim. The man in this video did nothing wrong and now his dog is dead. *edit: I should note

My workaround for this was to add a TXT record for *.mydomain.com that just returns a string like "Unused". This seems to stop them from hijacking any subdomains, and it's not an A record so undefined subdomain names do not resolve, just l
