I'm super passionate of space habitats and have done extensive reading about them. This is not a habitat in the real sense of the word. It provides a more spacious environment for the ISS. Therefore, it's just an extension to th

It's a browser so I doubt it. On the other hand you get lots of developers and fast feature development/bug fixing.

What exactly is BFT? Proof-of-stake doesn't reach consensus ( https://download.wpsoftware.net/bitcoin/pos.pdf ) and it's unclear what this Tendermint is using? Do you have any data to back your claims up?

But how are the tokens distributed? Mining is really why bitcoin is revolutionary, not the blockchain. In fact, "blockchain" is not even mentioned in Satoshi's paper. So I don't understand all the hype around this term.

Indeed. Look at the institution best paper awards: http://jeffhuang.com/best_paper_awards.html#institutions There are several companies (and not just universities) in the top 20. Microsoft leading.

BitTorrent's DHT is constantly being spammed and has been so since its inception several years ago. The whole point of DHT feeds is to actually filter out spam by only trusting specific feeds. Torrent site owners can publish their torr

One DHT entry per tweet. I do agree that it does create overload on the DHT. Initially in fact I was looking at implementing it as such: https://github.com/bittorrent/bittorrent.org/issues/19#issue... Problem

Totally appreciate Miguel's work and I've been following them for a long time. I think what they're doing is awesome and people should definitely check Twister out. I should probably have a related work section on the README.

HTTP is easy and well supported. Why not mix centralized solutions with decentralized ones? The important part is that you can edit your tweet with different URLs if they go down.

Yeah it's just a matter of saving space. Here's the actual code: https://github.com/lmatteis/peer-tweet/blob/master/app/compo... I'm really bad at binary arithmetic so I might have do

Any details on this? How did they reset it if iCloud is using standard encryption techniques?

I wonder if there has been any study regarding the head impact involved with running for long periods of time. I've heard for instance the water-skiing can cause minor brain damage because of the constant bumps in the water. I'm c

It seems to my understanding that the power needed for us measure the gravitational waves needs to be enormous - so big in fact that these colliding events only happen once every 10000 years. Can we use gravitational waves also to measure o

With things like Parse.com or Firebase we barely have to maintain or write any code for the backend. So I would go as far as even saying "Goodbye backend tier".

I wonder how this compares to HDT [1], a compressed format for RDF which can be queried directly from the HDT files without having to parse/index it. It's sad that research coming out of Harvard doesn't mention other quite re

Am I the only one who thinks "sexism" is overrated? It's misinterpreted by so many and I'm not sure I understand what it means most of the time. I think humans are prejudice about so many things that it's hard to ke

Does anybody know about databases that talk WebSockets rather than HTTP? For frontend apps it seems more logical to use WebSockets. Dealing with AJAX and understanding how to manage all of that on the client is still a huge dilemma in the R

What tech did you use for developing the interface? Any framework, library, architecture (thinking React/Flux/Angular) or was it done by scratch?

Didn't see much of the Flux stuff explained.

The Redux Devtools project has an example folder with already structured examples [1]. Cool thing is that it comes with all the webpack hot-reloading already setup, and with the ability to do undo/redo changes thanks to the devtools ca
