From TFA: Why is ASX replacing CHESS? While CHESS is a stable and reliable system, it is over 25 years old. Why yes that sounds like a perfectly valid reason. Will ASX give everyone access to the distributed ledger? No.

Probably the same as anyone working for Chinese, American, Russian, French, Iranian or Egyptian intelligence services. Many people are patriots and defend their country's interests.

Its such a superior model. Im angry that it disappeared. I was shocked to see that Microsoft got away with replacing actual help files with links that open a search query in Bing (completely abused by SEO and spammers). This is such a regre

This reminds me of Chuck Moore (inventor of Forth). He designs his own CPUs, using his own CAD package, written in the programming language he invented!

There are plenty of developments. Modern C++ is closer to Python than it is to C, while still allowing going down close to the metal if/when you need. One thing that would be nice is a language that transparently targets CPUs + GPUs. R

Not necessarily (I haven't thought about the issue too much). My point is more that, if insurance companies discriminate using any non-genetic, non-biological criterion, the outcome would still not be a distribution strictly representa

I'm not convinced that it would be bad for shareholders to properly split the company, instead of having a holding like Alphabet. I don't think you can mix a defense contractor and an advertising company that has a lot of public s

I was about to joke "Coming soon: SSH through Cloudflare"... but that's in fact exactly what it is. You might be able to save money on Cloudflare by literally just mailing all your keys to the NSA every week.

Literally no one is treating race as if it was about "melanin content of [one's] skin", so that's a strawman if I ever saw one. It's a very visible trait, strongly associated with ancestry, and thus associated with

The problem is that people still tend to complain about the outcome if it's not an egalitarian distribution, regardless of the accuracy of the inputs. Let's say I want to identify violent criminals based on things like type of jew

The article does not define radicalization. If kids have the same opinions on social issues like immigration, race, gender, etc. as their grandfathers or great-grandfathers, is it really radicalization? Or just a political cycle swinging ba

I have a simple Python script with a function for each step. When called with no arg it runs everything; this way I can trivially run a full CI build on my laptop. You can also call individual steps, which I do from a Jenkinsfile. This way

How much of this stuff was validated through public competitions like for AES, etc.? I have no doubt he's a stellar cryptographer but it looks to me like there is also some fanboyism from programmers with no particular crypto backgroun

I don't see anyone arguing for letting mass shooters roam free. The issue is: how to prevent those shootings in the first place. If you kill or jail them for life it doesn't exactly prevent the shooting they did, does it?

You are being excessive. First, why do you assume they would migrate north and not further south? In your model do you expect people to move in or out of Australia, South Africa, Chile, etc. ?

I don't think he ever claimed any sort of technical prowess. He was a storage admin, and when he found a treasure trove of documents under his responsibility, he bravely decided to reveal that the US spying agency conducts spying.

My understanding was that you would vet open source contributors so they can support their own stuff. So looking at GitHub, commits, etc. Otherwise your platform is really a way for random people to get money (nothing wrong with that) while
