+1, the recovery code shouldn't go out in plain text email. Also, I picked a weak password just to quickly make an account and I can't seem to change it, hmmm.

I'm actually more excited about David joining this effort (and entering the cryptocurrency space) than anything else. Stellar, also, looks promising (-:

I'm curious about what inaccuracies are you referring to? Coinbase is not a trading platform (no serious trader would pay 1% fees), Kraken does not accept ACH deposits and so on. Can you be more specific? BTW, I love both Coinbase and

Yes, my linode servers got hacked and were part of a DDoS attack so I took them offline. I need to boot up a new server and soon (-:

The SenSys'06 paper has all the details: http://dunkels.com/adam/pt/publications.html The context for a lot of "wireless sensor networks" discussion in the paper is that Adam's research group w

For example: #12 The PC (1973), this is Butler Lampson's work on Alto while at PARC. MIT (the university) had nothing to do with it. Also, #17 TCP/IP (1977), Bob Kahn was at MIT for 2 years or so a decade before working on TCP&#x2

The title is misleading. It makes you think all this research happened at MIT.

Muneeb here, one of the devs of OneName. Just wanted to let everyone know that we got way more load than we expected and had to fire up a lot of additional namecoind servers. The new servers started coming online 1-2 hours back. So if you r

this is precisely my point, we love namecoin but it needs better uses/applications of the key-value interface it exposes

Just calculate the sha256 of the passphrase and you'll get your private key for importing.

Yes, we plan to email you links to blockchain explorers in the future, so that you can track how your profile is being registered on the blockchain!

You should use your own Bitcoin address (from coinbase, blockchain.info, or Bitcoin client). We generate a default BTC address (using the same passphrase/private-key) for people who don't already have bitcoin addresses.

Completely agree with this approach. Conferences, at least for me, are not that helpful. Grad level advanced courses are usually the best resource because other people have "filtered" interesting content and organized it into some

I guess what I was trying to say earlier was that a "PhD in CS from Stanford" is not a universal thing that can then be used to see how desirable (or not desirable) it is in the industry job market. It matter a lot what area you

I'd be surprised if someone from http://csl.stanford.edu wrote that article. My point is that it matters a lot what area you did your PhD in and not just that you finished a PhD in CS. If your area was Machine Learning an

I think that more "offshoring" is part of that correction. A programmer only needs a laptop + a good Internet connection to be productive from anywhere. I'd have to look more into the UK data, but more likely to be unemployed

Why more offshoring is inevitable: 55K graduates for 160K CS jobs (2008 data)(csl.stanford.edu)

This is awesome! I can totally see myself using this. We also need better make files for Latex. Changing one line, hitting make, and then watching crap fly across your screen is not a pleasant experience ...

Yeah, it's mostly the British press but I've seen US newspapers talk about his AI or codebreaking works with no mention of e.g., Turing Machines

Yeah, my parents bought an iPad just to talk to me over Skype (I still need to take out time and get on Skype for that though). I do think parents will do anything to better stay in touch with their kids. If Path or any other service can so
