You don't need to root your phone to run Blokada, if that's what you're asking... I installed it sometime last year and as of right now, it claims to have blocked 595944 requests.

Nice. I know this is a thing that I should be able to just read myself, but it's way too early (or is it late?) here, so I appreciate the information! Thanks.

That's fair... I was completely misunderstanding the problem. So is it that core is not affected by that last CVE at all, or just not as much as the others?

"This is why the buffer is smaller in bitcoin than in these scamcoins." Are you saying that the buffer is smaller in Bitcoin because of that CVE issue? As in, the issue was discovered and the solution was the make the buffer small

I've not played it, but Obduction supports VR kits and is by Cyan Worlds themselves (so I can only assume it's as Myst like as you're going to get).

OK I must be missing something here: how can any of the large pools have 51% of the mining power? How can you have more than one pool, each with more than half the power? EDIT: OK I see where you're coming from I think... you mean an

Yeah, that's a good point and I see where you're coming from. But generally when I hear the argument about consensus, it seems to end with nothing other than an implication of "and therefore they're obviously wrong, simp

The thing that I hate about this argument of 'consensus has been wrong before' when it comes to climate change is that essentially, the argument seems to be 'everyone always said we were pumping too much CO2 into the air and

Possibly interesting to someone: Costco in Canada no longer has that Amex relationship. Instead, they are associated with Capital One and their Mastercard. There's a page on the costco.ca site with a heading of "Credit Cards Accep

I think the difference is that the date search is for finding stuff that was originally posted / crawled in that date range. (I believe) the original comment was regarding searching some HTML, for example, as it was at that date. That

So FWIW, the thing about the state of Kentucky isn't true. It's listed in 'The Repository of Lost Legends' on Snopes, which is their section of made up stuff. I'm only mentioning this as I didn't realise for a

I hope that is going to be acceptable: my laptop is way too old for my battery to hold a charge, and I really only use it when I'm on the road. I'd hate to have to buy a new one simply to get it on the plane :(

Having not heard of Oscar before, I was hoping this was related to the open source OSCAR EMR system. Having said that, I'm happy to see any form of investment in health care startups.

No, you end up with a single wallet with multiple addresses. FWIW, by default, every time you make a transaction you send the change to a new address, too.

Completely off topic, but it's days like these that I truly miss Groklaw...

Mt. Gox used to stand for that. It no longer does. There is a very distinct difference. I didn't say that you didn't like LG, I asked if you still referred to it as Lucky Goldstar? My point was that LG used to stand for 'Luck

I don't know if it's because I have given up coffee or what, but this post just rubbed me the wrong way for at least three reasons. Mt.Gox is not the world's largest exchange: most would agree that BTC China is, and possibly

I was fortunate enough to be able to go to the conference this year, but it's awesome to be able to watch the talks that I wasn't able to get to (especially as I had to pop out at one point to catch the Red Sox :) ).

Then couldn't a voter be proud of the accomplishments of the people that have been elected?

That's presuming that only DPR had the wallet in the first place. Even without the wallet he may have some trusted cohorts that can move the funds via a brain wallet or something similar. Now having said that, that hasn't yet happ

For what it's worth, Silk Road provided it's own system for guaranteeing stability of price (that is to say, there were guaranteed exchange rates if desired). I don't think there was any need for SR users (well, sellers at le

I might be confused, but doesn't the fact that you're turning down work mean that you haven't yet plateaued rate wise? I mean, if you're turning down work doesn't that mean that you can increase your rate and still

One of the core 'assumptions' is that the host would never reveal the door with the goat behind it. Therefore, in your scenario where you choose the winning door in the first place, there is only one option for the host: reveal th

Not knowing much about this stuff, are there any clients that will 'automate' the knock for you? If so, can you make any suggestions? Or is this a matter of CLI SSH will do it, but I'm just not finding it?

The point may also be to make sure that someone else doesn't make that decision for their child. That is to say, to make sure that some kid in their class doesn't decide to grab the name so that they can set up a fake profile fo

That's definitely an interesting take, and it triggered a thought I had a long time ago. One thing I've noticed since moving to North America is that children get off the school bus and will essentially just run across the street,

There is a slight difference, though, in that as soon as Google went to market with their search engine, it was a hit. Or it seemed like it at least. I don't have the numbers, but I can only imagine that uptake of Google was a lot fast
