All very true. Perhaps he mistyped, not sure. I'm just pointing out what was written and factually inaccurate.

>'50-90% of observed positives are false' if ^ is what he means, he should write that. The term "false-positive" has a very clear definition in medical statistics.

>If a test has 50, 75, 90% false positive rates, as many do What tests are you referring to? I can't find a reference but I highly doubt the FDA would approve of many tests with that high of false-positive rates.

I agree with your comment. Beyond the false premise, I think that this fivethirtyeight piece is extremely dangerous because it seems to prefer shocking headlines over actually depth. i.e. "We Don’t Need More Blood Tests" and the i

In the example you provide, you are trusting google in the same way you are trusting every SSL cert authority. What you are responding to is a reference to the signing of the APK, which is not (and cannot be) done by google even if the secu

I'd offer up keybase.io as a workable way to solve this authentication problem. On keybase I can authenticate my identify by leveraging social media and public identify proofs across multiple services.

Well it is "pennies" + public recognition. I am also of the opinion that small bounties are much better than no bounty ( cough apple cough )

It's not "terrible evidence" It was lengthy, time-consuming, very clearly fabricated evidence. He claimed he had private keys tied to Satoshi, but refused to sign anything with it (which would have taken 30 seconds).

No one is discrediting him because he isn't good at coding or "just an average geek" People are skeptical because this isn't the first time he claimed to be Satoshi [1], and that time he did it by back-dating posts. This

That is the first thing that came to mind when I read this headline. The BBC article this morning on Craig Wright was embarrassing.

Seems like it wouldn't hold up in court. Furthermore, has contract law ever superseded the constitution? I'm willing to bet the answer is no.

16:49 UTC refers to when TMZ first reported Prince died. Prior to that, there had been plenty of reports that there were ambulances at Paisley Park. It is not strange that people would google either "paisley park" or "prince&

I don't understand the economics of this at all. Can't the country buy power from a neighbor? Or does that infrastructure not exist? Wouldn't the productivity supplied by those days recoup the cost of electricity?

Is there anywhere that an individual could get more involved with these five principles and the EFF? Maybe like a slack group to discuss and promote encryption and privacy?

Yea, perhaps. Like in the recent "face2face: realtime face capture and re-enactment video"[1]. and your reference to "your avatar" reminds me of the scene from the matrix where Morpheus describes "residual self-imag

Pretty cool, but my first thought is: how authentic will communication be when "holoporting" to each other if you both have those big hololens mounted on your head? It will be hard to pick up on each other's facial expression
