I'm not a blockchain expert (or DNS, for that matter), but my reckoning is that alternatives to public-key infrastructure involving such things as identity-based and attribute-based encryption are a more promising way to get rid of CAs

Nice to see Trump keeping SOME of Obama's projects alive.

Yea, we don't get this crap anywhere else in the world. You read a story like that and you're waiting to read which U.S. state it all happened in. And this isn't just anti-American rhetoric. I feel so very sorry for the vast

Don't worry about down votes. You can replenish all with a witty quip. You can also undo the replenishing with a witty quip. Don't worry about down votes. I look for the down-voted, as the controversial ones are where I like to st

At least there was injustice highlighted in Dickens. Shylock the Jew wants a pound of flesh, in any interpretation of the work, teaches you nothing except Shakespeare was just another man of his times, who said words goodly.

The concrete line has to be drawn somewhere. It's quite low given that (and this is a daring conjecture by which I firmly stand) the majority of 18 - 21 year olds are completely out of bounds for anybody who wants a stable mature relat

Given that I am a researcher, I reckon I have been. I'm also not a parent, so I don't have any sexy babies growing up. But given that the 'consensual child sex' argument has been used historically in courts against child

I'm sorry to have offended you, but I actually used to be under 18. I think under 18s are inexperienced human beings who are undergoing some of the hardest years of anybody's life, their hormones are changing and their culture is

by seamyb88 7y ago
Christ, that's horrible. How can you be so right about complex issues, when you're so wrong about the widely held belief that under 18s are morons and it's exploitative to get your jollies from them, no matter how mature they

I also find that the linker is the issue. Yes for performance, but also for testing (to the point of failure) linux's 'out of memory' scenario (try make -j8 on the llvm source, for example).

The good old opt out. In order for us to not hold your face we need to hold all sorts of information to identify you as the opter outer. Either way we have to know who you are.

I am the most OK I have ever been, and it's largely to do with being a programmer/nerd/scientist. I struggle with work/life balance, but only because I enjoy working so much that it's difficult to tell where life be

You were under the correct impression. In "wealthy" countries, we throw enough food out to feed the world many times over. In not even trying to feed those we have just cast aside, we have still produced enough food. But we'r

Ten of my friends got food poisoning eating at a Chinese restaurant in town. Conclusion: prawn crackers are unsafe.

Yeah, true. Although, the problem is lessened if properly abstracted away via opacity. MPFR (GNU multi-precision library) typedefs an array of size 1 holding its basic type, as opposed to just typedefing the struct of the basic type. This i

I am a huge fan of Stallman.He is as close to 100% correct on software ethics as anybody has ever been. His contribution to computing has been immense. However, in a world where your social status can go down easier than it can go up, I thi
