To some extent, you probably have heard of them, under the rubric 'direct transfers' or cash payments. Direct transfers of valuable assets (cows or cash) to the very poor have done…

Evolutionary algorithms may work ok here, but I have not seen any high-performance ML tasks done with evolutionary training of neural networks in a long time. It's all backprop and…

> Historians believe Suleiman’s heart and internal organs were buried in the tomb and his body taken back to Constantinople, as Istanbul was then known. His death at Szigetvar was …

That's too elaborate. They like more direct attacks. Think subpoenas exploiting the third party doctrine to the hilt, MLATs to image any server remotely suspicious outside the USA,…

Source for all that?

So it's difficult to successfully get it, and there's a lot that could go wrong and, say, prompt a lawsuit or criminal case?

> wouldn't Wright have a huge income tax debt? Yes, but presumably he can pay it out of his Bitcoin fortune. He has to deal with that at some point anyway, and by going public now,…

At this point, if he is Satoshi, he would probably be better off coming out of the closet. If you read through the McGrath-Nichols documents about the Hotwire bankruptcy and how th…

> So let’s recap: in September 2015, Wright was annoyed that people didn’t know who the real Nakamoto was. Is Kashmir unable to read? Wright never said that. He was clearly angry a…

And Wright lives in London according to that Vegas video. Even more billionaires live there without much worries about kidnapping, and you'd think the Russians there would be a tes…

Apparently Gizmodo has been investigating this for even longer (!) and has a lot of other evidence for Wright=Satoshi too: http://gizmodo.com/this-australian-says-he-and-his-dead-f…

So your point is that capitalist countries became much wealthier and they also did this much earlier than protectionist countries did, and this is somehow a bad thing about free tr…

I don't see any evidence that the cycle has gotten faster. There were plenty of mayfly wonders on YouTube years and years ago, and the Internet had its memes well before. It doesn'…

I wondered that too but then they cover how it's been embroiled in a legal battle for 30 years now. So apparently its location more or less was discovered a long time ago, it's onl…

Is it just me, or is the "ANALGESICS AS RISK FACTORS FOR F-AD: (2) EPIDEMIOLOGY" section really uncompelling and the epidemiological evidence seems to amount to a few inconsistent …

Perhaps you should read the submission. The larger point here is that even if you set up a network in the first place which is genuinely airgapped, as time passes and systems evolv…

Good question - I have no idea. But if I google 'gas-filled tube ethernet', I get a number of hits like http://en.tdk.eu/blob/174150/download/5/smd-surge-arresters-... and http://w…

I did not know that about Japan, but apparently here, as with the fax machine, Japan is an exception. Japan may spend $500m on telegrams (which incidentally, doesn't seem like very…
