> But instead the CCP rejected that and undermined global good will Can you elaborate on this? This feels a very US centric view. The US itself has repeatedly failed to comply with…

It might be worth taking a look at Mattereum [0] as an example of work in this area. Much of their work has been on how to make smart-contract based 'ownership tokens' (akin to NFT…

AFAIK only the pool operator can see the full set of transactions for the block being mined. Pool workers only get to see the block header for the new block. This header only conta…

Brunner's 'Shockwave Rider' has an interesting vision of how super-intelligent dogs might take care of security for village sized human communities.

Thanks for linking your talk! Just started watching it now. Is that Dan Boneh in the front?

Just please, for the love of god stop trying to show me Jordan Peterson videos!

Delphi XE IDE (2010): Crashes often when stepping into multi-threaded code, frequently 'forgets' whole families of types. Throws a fit if you switch git branches from underneath it…

Gut flora in humans appears to have a significant influence on weight gain/loss. Perhaps ABs fed to livestock tilt towards weight gain.

Wow, this is really appropriate for the day I've had today. Repeatedly failing to get a brand new install of Bitcoin Core to index and sync with the blockchain. I finally dusted of…

Downvotes require a karma threshold (of 500 IIRC). BTW, whatever you do don't overuse the 'flag' feature on stories as it seems when this is revoked it is permanent! I lost mine wh…

Here comes the corporate damage control! Bluemix is too little too late, and appears to be an advertisement for all the open-source 'cool' tech that IBM did not invent. Let's not e…

I think what will happen is for any given target a weighting will be inferred, giving the likelihood of that person being sarcastic or joking. As more and more data about us is col…

How about DNSCurve for traffic between you and us? (client requests). That'd be nice!

This looks very much in the spirit of Yegges' 'Grok' project at Google [1][2]. Does anyone know if that project is still alive? [1] http://bsumm.net/2012/08/11/steve-yegge-and-grok…

I didn't say you won't get your money but that legally speaking the money, once deposited, is not yours any more, it is an asset of the Bank. This is why you'd need insurance/gover…

Don't forget, 'real' bank accounts work like this as well. The money is no longer yours once you deposit into an account. The bank represents it as a liability on its balance sheet…

Scheme syntax and main semantics are taught by the first couple of lectures IIRC. The main issue for me with the book and to some extent these videos is the assumption of the stude…

Thanks for all the effort to get to this stage Eben. As someone who was repeatedly told (on the RP forums) that I had no business to desire the user-land graphics to be open-source…

I hear there is a coin launching soon that may interest you, SchadenCoin!
