I propose the systemic dismantling of the Zuckerberg empire, hard prison time for the execs, and industry banishment for its employees and collaborators. HN is just a news aggregat…

and what i see is a billion serf's getting exploited by a small minority of tech feudal lords. There is no alternative, except opting out of the game entirely. That is the point I …

I agree -- we are doomed. I have no cause. I stopped believing in democracy a long time ago. I have zero interest in helping others to understand my perspective, best we can hope f…

Of course I am in the minority. The majority of people on this planet have neither the education, interest or intelligence to understand the cage that is being constructed around t…

I care about privacy very deeply. I care more about privacy than the 'immense value' that garbage like facebook provides the world. The 'anything to hide' argument is an authoritar…

I'm motivated by solving real problems, not artificial climbing wall problems, sorry.

No such thing as good DRM. All DRM is broken by design, and exists to take your rights away. Never make excuses for this garbage software. DRM must die.

climbing walls or being stuck in the wilderness with a bike don't sound like fun at all. pointless. I don't think your suggestion is helpful for people that have depression. The me…

Any australian working in the US that is able to obtain PR or citizenship likely has a well paid job that provides health insurance. While I feel for the folks in the US without co…

You don't need to store 3 hashes, infact, you would need many hashes for all possible cases. It is easier to drop all cases pre hashing, and only store a lower case hashed value.

Its pretty easy, you configure your logging library NOT to log the attribute, key/value pair, whatever containing the credential. If you can't modify it on the server side (which y…

His name is clippit, not clippy :-)

You really want to do this if you use Spectrum Cable. You are locked out of configuring the DNS settings via their cable modems (even if you supply your own). These force a DNS sea…

Did you update the wikipedia article with the correct citation? Its easy to complain on HN, takes a little more effort to correct misinformation for future internet users.

This was in 2011. They probably got them finding near hash collisions (by hand, with pencil and paper) for mining cryptocurrency in 2019.

its missing an http to https redirect. this is important! How can i trust this group with identity if they cant even get secure websites right.

Downvoted. If you live in the UK, you will need to buy a 'perverts card' in order to prove your age. This will of course lead building of biggest Blackmail database outside of the …

Nope, and this is part of the building case against Porn in the UK. Please ignore the lies coming from the UK, this will only ramp up as the Porn Ban is rolled out - that is correc…

1. correct; 2. correct; 3. Kinda but Not quite the only way -- you can convert the values in the coins into another chain, ideally something like monero in which 1. applies, but 2.…

Yeah, I will 'change' my position on this. Satoshis in a single UTXO that are split are fungible - in your scenario you cannot identify the specific sat: either a1->a3, or a1->a4. …

Kinda. You can use mimikatz to override the checks that the private key is isolated, you can even override 'no export' flag. Timestamping relies on external trusted timestamp provi…

every satoshi can be traced from birth until unspent. There are most certainly individual satoshi. they live in UTXO's.

Not accurate. You can trace the life of a particular 'coin' value -- which is generated in the coinbase reward in a block and spent later on in a UTXO (unclaimed transaction output…

If i was to guess, i would guess that it was Bitlocker vuln, CVE-2018-12037, where the bitlocker crypto implementation is left to the junk SSD 'self encrypting' feature which is fo…
