Good job SHA-1, you had a good run and didn't get too broken before retirement, which is quite an accomplishment for anyone these days. Does anyone in the field know if there's a SHA-4 competition around the corner, or is SHA-3 go

I'm not really seeing any convincing numbers there. Mercury lasers seem to only be 10% efficient. I get that this is better than the lasers that were just used at NIF, but that still seems pretty far from useful.

When you buy an NFT using the Coinbase wallet, you aren't buying it from Coinbase, you're buying it from some other random person. The Coinbase wallet is only being used to facilitate a person-to-person transaction, and view perso

Fiber makes you less hungry and is completely antithetical to how the modern food industry operates. One huge pet peeve of mine recently is when I'm shopping for high fiber foods, these days everything claiming to be high fiber is also

It's really not any more complicated than "see a nazi, punch a nazi". These people were swastika waving full blown white nationalists. People have every right to support these dirtbags, but don't be surprised if you get

These idiots gave money to a group of white supremacists who were blocking off trade routes in support of spreading a deadly virus in the midst of a global pandemic. Karma happens. https://thecjn.ca/perspectives/swastik

People gave him some crap because he didn't leak the white rose Trump leak, but it was already everywhere and he mostly just declined to promote it. Other than that, there were no Trump related leaks in the inbox, so it's not like

It's unclear if even a sample was provided, but yes, in general with Wikileaks the idea is to throw all the data over the fence to them, and let them take care of the rest. Trying to negotiate terms of how the data should be released e

Watch the Laura Poitras movie "Risk"[1] if you want a really good feel for why Julian has every reason in the world to disrupt the possibility of a Hillary Clinton presidency. It's an amazing movie that came out at a really u

Sounds to me like the leaker was trying to get their attention without handing over all the documents. There are plenty of reasonable explanations where all parties are telling the truth here. I bet the Wikileaks inbox was flooded with more

That episode is less about unreliable power grids, and more about how easy it is to tear apart society by turning neighbors against each other over relatively minor things. Something that we've seen on a whole new level since 2015.

More accurate to replace "crypto" with "Wall Street". This is a story about nepotism and corruption in Wall Street. The fact that SBF was peddling cryptocurrencies didn't matter for the fraud, but is likely a key re

Ponzi victims are told on paper that their "investments" are increasing in value, and that they can withdraw at any time, when in reality, the assets don't actually exist. Also a key aspect is that their balance only ever goe

From what I've gathered, Alameda lost the money during the Luna collapse back in the spring. Sam extended a loan from FTX (using customer funds) to Alameda (which he owned 90% of) to prevent Alameda from collapsing with everything else

FTX was able to fleece Wall Street investors specifically because of their deep Wall Street connections. This is a corrupt Wall Street story. The only reason they were exposed is because they left evidence on-chain, and people started askin

Ponzi schemes by definition use opaque ledgers. Ponzi schemes are custodial. Ponzi schemes guarantee returns. There exist Ponzi schemes which have disguised themselves as cryptocurrencies, but the idea that all cryptocurrencies are Ponzi

Bitcoin is hard to wedge into DeFi, so the yields he was talking about were probably on centralized exchanges. He was likely even referring to Celsius, which has since popped. What has changed since then is DeFi tools like Thorchain singl

My current understanding of recognition (I think it was pulled from a Kurzweil book I read recently, so grain of salt etc) is that humans have on average 150k recognizer circuits[1], which are long columns that permeate a few layers of our

No, not Adam. I remember reading Adam's Hashcash paper back in 2003 or so, excited for how it might lead to cryptocurrency, but he was completely uninterested in the topic. Apparently Satoshi tried to get him involved early on, and Ada
