Our current systems for verifying identity are incredibly vulnerable as demonstrated by the huge number of identity theft scams. Pretending that it works well is laughable. Cryptographic signatures have their own issues but they present a w

Cryptocurrency is the only place where regular people use cryptography that they control in a way that matters enough for someone to attack it. Of course we will see mistakes being made. Covering your ears and singing "lalala crypto ba

So many of these exploits boil down to "hardware wallets not providing enough/the right information". The screen is tiny, and protocol devs don't usually put a lot of thought into making stuff easily human readable. Idea

Seems like pretty circular logic to me: Apartments in the city are too expensive -> It's because we're not building enough apartments in the city -> But Americans don't want to live in apartments in the city -> Why a

Why are apartments in the city so much more expensive then? Your opinion is contradicted by reality.

How does this philosophy handle identifiers like file names, folder structures, and especially database indexes? Seems like the server is going to need to have some knowledge of these. Unless everything is done within a secure enclave?

Is Catholicism still relevant once we create a new AI god to rule over us and it kills the old god? Could Catholics utilize their expertise in worshipping omnipotent deities to appease Roko's Basilisk?

This very likely has nothing to do with Binance or even AltLayer. The scam is to fool someone into signing a transaction that sends their tokens to the scammer. They are using the well known name of Binance to make it look legit. Trying to

Oh man. To me this plywood stuff seems like it might be marginally more durable than 2x4 and sheetrock, or maybe not (worse ventilation etc). So to me it seems like they have just reinvented the American "balloon" construction sys

The impotent instinct to go after top management is silly. How management performs is between them and the shareholders. The only reason to fire management is if someone else could make the shareholders more money. If you don't think i

Seems pretty expensive to make everything out of pure plywood. Does anyone have a sense of how cost compares to 2x4's plus drywall? I assume either construction method will need exterior cladding and insulation.

There's a limitation to how much data can be carried by a certain radio wavelength. Adding more satellites within a given coverage area doesn't help, because they will just interfere with each other. Using antennas with narrower b
