>Bitcoinica They partnered with Alpha Point some time ago. A cursory google search will confirm that.

Well, there may be one way. But it's not user friendly at all. When the driver presses lock/unlock on the fob, the car first sends a signed message with a session secret. The fob c…

If you ever have quality issues with the splitter, check out this product, works like a charm (but a bit pricey): http://www.hdfury.com/

Transactions not having to propagate across the network a second time in blocks is certainly nice, but that doesn't solve all the problems of large blocks. As you said, that propos…

To avoid the pawn favoritism you could first select a category of piece, then a specific piece of that category and then finally select a legal move for the piece in question. I th…

No, you have missed the essence of my post. Technology doesn't pick a side. I'm not arguing against that. In the relationship between Bitcoin and it's users/developers/miners/nodes…

Philosophical inquiry doesn't necessitate an adjudication on morality, politics or regulatory climate. It can simply be a formalization of concepts observed in a system. Bitcoin do…

So one might argue that that is a philosophy in and of itself. An agnostic one that is founded on technical specification, not moral imperative.

Interesting, thanks!

Don't bother with the laser, just drive down the street and pass a car with HID headlights that aren't pointed directly towards the ground. At least in that situation your response…

I don't have a firm enough understanding of how the LIDAR and laser's work in these vehicles, but it occurs to me that it might be possible for a malicious actor to confuse the car…

I wasn't commenting on what is better or worse. I was simply stating that there is a tangible effect on the decentralization of the network when you have a limited number of nodes.…

People like to quote the scalability page and claim that Bitcoin will have no problem scaling, but I don't think they really understand what Bitcoin will look like at scale. No one…

This is likely an erroneous argument with little evidence to support it. Violence between street dealers and drug consumptors is unlikely to be the largest source of drug related v…

I think we will arrive at a future where it will no longer be legal to create such software. The FBI will then go after the developers of said platforms. Of course they will still …

Refer to jacquesm's post [0]: >Because (1) a jammer is an unlicensed transmitter and (2) jammers do not just jam with discretion they jam for as far as they reach and it is impossi…

Fair enough, my wording was a bit more limiting than I meant it to be. But I hear you, and you make some good points. I guess I'll just use an old saying to put it one other way: '…

Absolutely true. The time lapse is only to allow the user to inspect the drive before it is allowed to execute arbitrarily. That may not actually be possible now that I think about…

>Because it is itself the process of growing. It is an intermediate phase. I think you missed what I was saying, you are conflating issues as well. I believe you can be tied to you…

The fourth point in the article raises some red flags for me. I agree with the Capn: >My job is not my identity, I feel its healthy to generate a life outside your work that is ent…

Perhaps some kind of time lapse would solve that problem. The USB won't execute anything for x minutes while you inspect what it is really doing (if it's your keyboard or mouse, do…

Yep. It seems to me that homogeneity amongst nodes in a distributed consensus mechanism is of utmost importance; once you implement a hierarchical power structure dishonesty become…
