I'd argue that false data doesn't achieve this, it just confuses everything. Using an analogy in programming terms, it would be like `job_title <- Maybe "NULL"` whereas they really…

Exactly, or expulge and refuse to provide job titles? That begs the question, why do they provide this information to third parties anyway?

If it is for secrecy then why not delete the information and inform those who ask they do not hold such information? The issue was the discrepancy when a third party tried to verif…

There is a follow up, where he get another popup: https://nitter.42l.fr/linusgsebastian/status/148185562555858...

From the threat it looks like Linus' threat model for git is simply different from the common use today. Of course a judgement under a different threat model would make it seem lik…

There's no reason you cannot construct a token that can be frozen and reversed - USDT (other issues as side) being an example. Accounts as we know them don't have to be at the leve…

Thank you.

Also, taking the website name literally leads to a very boring time. If we define translatable as having a surjection between languages then many commenters have shown examples of …

I find it very strange that this HN thread is full of people taking the website name hyper literally. The about page mentions that this is a UI for the subreddit of the same name, …

Having seen the English translations for my native tongue a lot of these translations are only surface level and quite lossy. Even if the mapping between languages is surjective, c…

Having checked my own language I'd describe the list not as being unable to translated outright, but of susinct ideas that are not normally expressed in English. A literal or detai…

I recently found the "New to you" category bubble that's solved this issue for me. I don't know how they sort the categories but I've only found the "New to you" at the start or en…

It's not very discoverable but the category bubbles includes one called "New to you". I've only seen it right at the start or end of the list.

Using a bloom filter as a distributed hash means you're edging quite close to a blockchain, the only question your schema now has is consensus - how is work examined for trustworth…

> Whether that claim can be meaningfully sold on to someone else is outside the scope of this discussion. The issue of sidestepping future interactions is that such a schema has no…

As it stands, yes. For such a difficult problem it is not suprising NFTs don't provide any mechanisms against this. Unlike previously, if you do find an older copy on a blockchain …

As long as twitter can act as a trusted third party, tweets are a completely valid ledger as shown by Keybase. Blockchains simply reduce the power and trust required in the third p…

This is true, except there would at least be a record on some blockchain where the artwork was first proven to exist via a hash. This is at least stronger proof against the artist …

Of course! The blockchain is only decentralised compared to a centralised service such as Sotheby's and doesn't remove the third party entirely. The thing is unless you restrict th…

A signature is simply that, a signature. It doesn't guarantee uniqueness and doesn't prevent you copying it any number of times. An identity + timestamping mechanism would guarante…

The other major difference is their use of Paxos USD, a stablecoin that's tied to the dollar.

What was the result? I've seen comments on /r/datahorder and the like claiming some honoured the RMA without the enclosure whilst others had success returning it to the enclosure.
