Nice! Why not create a different protocol then if they're not yet compatible? Adoption for a browser-based p2p streaming tool should be seamless. If the only problem is BitTorrent integration, go your own way. ps: your site seems down.

I know a lot of "software" solutions are being discussed in this thread for greater anonymity, but I would personally simply opt for a more secure physical solution. Such as hosting the server somewhere that doesn't require y

Why rely on third-parties when you could use bitcoin:1JZuM9qKaeAuDpepigSMmNvBzsAgTavqLB URIs instead? Or you could use your own trusted server with things such as: bitcoin:roger@yourserver.org

There's already a W3C Ontology for Resumes: http://www.w3.org/wiki/ResumeRDFOntology All you have to do is use the terms with JSON-LD.

I find Academia.StackExchanage [1] and the entire StackExchange ecosystem [2] quite awesome for learning, teaching and simply discussing about anything related to specific communities. For anything else there's always Mailing Lists (ML

Satoshi wrote this in the original Bitcoin paper, which logic I think still holds today: If a greedy attacker is able to assemble more CPU power than all the honest nodes, he would have to choose between using it to defraud people

How's this different than simply sending a Coinbase email to someone, or perhaps just the credentials of a blockchain.info account?

by sktrdie 12y ago
Yes because I get bored easily and having a degree would give me more flexibility to switch back and forth between industry and academic jobs. Right now I'm stuck in industry.

Actually Ripple's consensus algorithm can be used for a variety of different applications, the ones you would think to build using Bitcoin's blockchain. Because Ripple solves the double-spending problem without the need of mining

What is the reason for Satoshi wanting to remain anonymous? The others (hashcash, bitgold, b-money creators) didn't seem to bother with anonymity. This is why I highly doubt Satoshi is actually a pseudonym.

by sktrdie 13y ago
Consider that even with zero confirmations, with enough clients validating and relying the transaction, it's pretty hard for an attacker to propagate a double-spend for that transaction. This is where the big mining pools are actually

Personally I believe that software design is a highly subjective art. People that are meant to maintain a piece of code are different. Some may be more creative and less pragmatic, others may be more structured and clean in their design. Th

I think that's the whole point of firewalls, to control incoming and outgoing connections. So peer-to-peer sometimes is simply impossible. TURN actually is just a proxy as far as I know so it's not p2p. That's why BitTorrent

Isn't it just a matter of time that someone will make ASICs also for X11? To me any type of algorithm can eventually be implemented in an ASIC. Perhaps some algorithms take longer than others, but it's just a matter of time.

If they change the UI they'll probably break 100+ apps that are using HTML scraping to get HN's data.

by sktrdie 13y ago
But how do you explain the large amount of research going into these topics? They must be linked to industry and therefore used otherwise there wouldn't be so many publications on things like RDF. Perhaps HN and the startup culture lik

by sktrdie 13y ago
Indeed. I'm in fact surprised of all the negative comments regarding RDF and the rest of the Semantic Web here on HN. Not to mention the huge amount of research that is pouring in these topics from academia. I guess you're right,

by sktrdie 13y ago
The RDF scene is much more mature nowadays. You could simply get an RDF dataset and start analyzing using a large variety of tools. No need to configure/fix/tune anything. It would be as simple as doing the tables JOIN of your exa

by sktrdie 13y ago
Indeed the initial tools were a mess it's true. But they've grown a lot. There's a lot to choose now. From interactive tools, to performance improvements with really interesting things like HDT. The whole situation is much be

by sktrdie 13y ago
The difference is in the details. You could combine several CSVs and you could probably come up with a bunch of rules that would make data integration easier. But then you'd be reinventing exactly the triples model. And it's diffe

by sktrdie 13y ago
That's a huge misconception. XML has nothing to do with RDF. It's merely a serialization. Please take a look at JSON-LD, it's another serialization of RDF. Or perhaps Turtle which is more human-readable. Or HDT which is a b

by sktrdie 13y ago
It solves the really interesting issue of data integration. When you need to combine and analyze data from various sources having things expressed as triples really makes a difference. You can merge two datasets that never knew about each o

Ask HN: why isn't RDF more popular on HN?

I actually have a very different opinion about academia compared to the rest of the comments. I've been working in industry for the past 8 years, since my late teens. Now I'm searching a more research oriented life path because I&
