Well, I think it should be noted that this makes it clear that there's simply no way he is Satoshi. He claims to not "have the courage" to show proof that he has the keys, even when he claims to have shown Gavin and Jon proof of having those exact keys. The reality is that showing this proof is trivial, and if he wasn't willing to post it he wouldn't have claimed to be Satoshi at all - and if he actually was Satoshi, he would have posted this proof with his first post.

That said, if someone came out and proved themselves to be Satoshi, it would be a fairly big deal to the Bitcoin world. Satoshi himself has a lot of Bitcoins sitting under his control that he hasn't done anything with. Coupled with the fact that he was the original creator, his opinions would probably have a lot of weight behind them - and this is important when recognizing that Bitcoin right now is at a bit of a cross-roads, with people uncertain on how to proceed.

That said, I'm not heavily involved with Bitcoin, and while it was obvious to me (and most other people) that Wright isn't Satoshi, I wasn't yelling or calling for his head, and I don't really think there were that many other people doing that either - they were just a few loud mouths. All that said, you do have to keep in mind that, because of the power that Satoshi could wield, and the fact that some people have a lot invested in Bitcoin, I can understand the backlash over someone pretending to be Satoshi and potentially messing things up for everybody else.

As I write this comment, this story is on the front page just above the story titled "Misperceiving Bullshit as Profound." I find the juxtaposition amusing. I'm a huge proponent of EVs, but this comparison is meaningless and silly.
Presumably the value in a journal publisher is:
a) it's name, being accepted to certain journals is an indicator of quality
b) to readers who are guaranteed published works have been peer reviewed

That being said I'm not a massive fan and I believe there is probably a model whereby you can get these value-adds without the closed down subscription system. Publicly funded research should be publicly available.
Part of this is that parents alone don't shoulder the burden of paying for their children's education. All taxpayers share in this. Exemptions or credits along these lines are short-sighted.

You expose another issue that comes up frequently which is the idea that the cost per pupil is somewhat fixed in a region (for administrative purposes anyway) and so regardless of the school a parent choose for their child, the state should pay that school. As an extension, if the parent would choose to home school, that parent might be paid the prevailing rate for a child.

I don't think that works on a number of levels (again, poor parents probably can't afford to not work for $6k for 9 months of the year). Perhaps combined with other social programs (such as a UBI), this would be more reasonable. I think there would be a huge media backlash over kids who end up with effectively no education due to parents just taking their kids UBI+their UBU+school fees and then letting the kids play video games all day (regardless of whether this actually happens or not). Standardized testing would probably become even more important as a means for the state to make sure that your children are actually being educated.
agreed - though I think the grandfather comment was probably referring to the UK marketplace and the US experience of subprime credit sales is somewhat different at the mortgage level. Payday loans are a different story all together and have the a similar, or even more vulnerable target market here in the UK as subprime mortgages in the US. However payday loans are not usually offered by traditional banking vendors in the UK and as such banks get off the hook here.
Do you run your own advertisements or do use only use Deck (or other third-parties)?
You're completely ignoring words that don't fit into your translations. For the first one... you forgot to explain the word "infinite." For the second, you forgot to explain the word "exponential.". The third.. umm.. WTF is "the nexus itself."

For most people these statements are meaningless. To say "I can assign basically random meanings, if I just say whatever I think of first, ignoring inconsistencies between the statement and the translation".... Well you're just pointing out the exact problem.
All of this wouldn't be that much of an issue if we weren't so pathologically curious all the time, the press wouldn't have any "story" whatsoever.

It's us angry monkeys who are the creators of this kind of behaviour.

At least on HN let's concentrate on the technology FFS.

AFAIK none of the current "blockchain" tech has managed to successfully introduce a robust "proof of stake" system versus the wasteful "proof of work" yet - and that's just one of the many problems we need to solve.

Essentially the whole Internet is broken so unfortunately we cannot even seriously talk about the significant scalability issues which AFAIK all of the current decentralised crypto state machines still suffer from out there on the githubs...
The same thing has happened to me as well.

Cryptography, a transaction system that tracks the flow of money around the world, coming out a few years after money laundering measures were on the security agenda, working under a pseudonym to keep their identity secret, not looking to convert much of the hundreds of millions to cash when the price went up, total silence on whether or not somebody else is Satoshi...

... something makes me wonder if Satoshi has the initials GCHQ.

Of course, on the other hand, it'd be ironic if it turns out the real Satoshi just didn't expect it to turn into such a big thing, lost the keys on a USB down the back of a sofa, and is hiding out of the sheer embarrassment of it all.
It "just works" if you fully buy into the ecosystem. i.e. all content stored in iCloud nothing synced via cable etc.

I happen to do this since i tend to need a new iPhone every 2-4 months and it's just easier to pick up a new one, sign in and let it set itself up exactly as the old one.

But anything that deviates from this workflow, you tend to run into problems.
"Usually a party picks a nominee who is both reasonably “electable” and who upholds its traditional policy positions. In Trump, the Republican Party may have a candidate who fails on both counts."

this kid throws around a lot of loose garbage language for a statistician. he clearly let his emotions and feelings distract his analysis (and still is). trump is electable -- for sure -- and this presidential race is going to be very very interesting.
Yes, it's MTP with my current phone and linux installation. Is there a problem with this? After I figured out where the filesystem was mounted (a bit of a pain), I could use it like a normal mount, as if it were an external USB drive.

It's funny how you can say someone "quotes the bible as if it had any authority on profundity" after that person wrote "But what does the bit about valleys being raised up and mountains made low? It has to be some kind of metaphor, or it's literal but weird, or it's just random nonsense."

The study was about bullshit meaning literal, meaningless nonsense statements, like "Imagination is inside exponential space time events."

Not saying you should draw any conclusions from this, but something I noticed:

"Second, research has shown that conservative attitudes are related to relying on intuitive thinking styles [5] while cognitive complexity (i.e., the tendency to construct a variety of perspectives for viewing an issue) is avoided [6,7]"

[5] leads to:

So the author conveniently swapped conservative in for authoritarianism.

This is just plain wrong. Pharmaceutical companies shouldn't be permitted to use this kind of 'bribery'.

This blog post shows how to absolutely TERRORIZE a core developer using:
1. Bussiness card of an FBI agent, with a "call me" text hand-written on it
2. A phone and 10 minutes of time

If you have a few business cards and an entire afternoon, you can nuke entire projects (?) Something is not right here!

If you hurt your leg, you go to a doctor and he fixes you up. There is no shame in going to a doctor. If a postcard and a phone call can ruin your life, you can ALSO go to a doctor, and guess what, he will fix you up in that case as well! Try it. Go for one session with an open mind and (unless you have a really horrible doctor) it will help tremendously.

That's not what I meant at all. This is the first time this interpretation ever occurred to me.

Microsoft isn't lobbying for favorable treatment for doing nothing or exploiting loopholes. Microsoft is free to move wherever they want. They're getting tax concessions from the state in return for exercising that freedom to stay in Washington. Both sides are getting something out of the bargain.
Slightly off topic, but is that really the design for Apple's new headquarters, a giant ring? So if you want to get from a place on one side to the other, you have to walk halfway around the circle or cut through the giant park in the middle? That seems horribly inefficient.

Another example of "High Tech is the new Banking"... in the bad public perception sense.
Recent Android on T-mobile US uses IPv6-only transport. T-mobile's DNS servers are only asked by these devices to translate hostnames to IPv6 addresses. If they can't find an IPv6 address, they will look up the IPv4 address for a hostname, and pack it into the bottom 32 bits of an IPv6 address that routes to a IPv6-to-IPv4 NAT device at T-Mobile.

This is called DNS64/NAT64 and has some small performance penalty. Making content directly accessible by IPv6 removes the penalty.
This is oddly worded to me and likely going to cause grief as it sounds like your app can only run on IPV6. I would interpret is as your app must be able to run internet connected when IPV4 is not available. This likely includes your local loopback if you are using 127.0.0.1 (which I infer from the hard code statement).

Or another weird to put it, your application must be IPV6 with the option of a IPV4 add-on.
His note doesn't make any sense to me.

If I were to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he is Satoshi, this note still doesn't make any sense. Removing all doubt that he at least controls the keys is almost trivial.

Apple’s App Store search is completely broken right now
No, but I have considered it. All four of my grandparents are gradulate-educated educators and they learned and researched education and the various issues surrounding it. So based on their anecdotes and research, my parents kind of were convinced that school was not good and would make our lives worse, and just let us do whatever. I would recommend reading John Holt if you are interested. I'll email you. It is one of those things that is dangerously simple - no structured learning, but there is tons of nuance, I guess.

None of the largest body shops being present on the list is sad. The H-1B program is all too clearly abused by large "consulting" firms to drive down wages and mistreat visa holding employees under the threat of deportation.
Yes. There is a huge difference between:

1. "Here's how to break the phone's encryption using available tools today", and;

2. "Here's a less-secure version of the OS, we'll use our digital signature to convince the phone to accept it."

If they ever do the latter, they can be sure it won't be long before they start getting warrants to push insecure OS updates to everyone named as a "person of interest," which seems to be everyone these days.

And the next time a Snowden leaks that Apple is sending insecure OS updates to more-or-less all iPhones, they have lost an enormous amount of goodwill and brand recognition.

A lot of people believe (rightly or wrongly) that run-of-the-mill Android phones are insecure because the carriers won't push updates, but that you can trust top-tier manufacturers like Apple to keep your phone secure.

The last thing they need is for people to say "Cheap Android, Expensive iPhone, there's no difference."

>...I feel like we've been watching different races. With different candidates. On a different planet.

I guess so, if you really think the GOP actually likes either Trump or Cruz. They haven't hidden their contempt for either of those two, and the idea that either of them would win the nomination in a brokered convention is sheer lunacy.

This is moot now, since Cruz and Kasich have suspended their campaigns. But seriously, how can you not think Kasich would be an easy win if, through some miracle for the GOP, they got a brokered convention? Who do you think would win?

> Even if they paid zero local taxes, the money is still flowing into the local economy.

That's also true for my salary. My salary moves the local economy. Not so much, but if you get together $1B of taxpayer money we are talking about thousands of workers.

Some one has to pay for the cost of workers education/transport/police department/etc. So the argument doesn't makes so much sense. In the end this companies are the ones that get more benefits from the public infrastructures and services. Why they should be absent of paying for them?
I think if you use H-1B for your company you should be denied from using any tax breaks when filing US taxes.
I agree that if that wasn't clear, it was a huge problem. The whole idea was to figure this particular experiment out as we went along. Not putative future instances of it, which we hadn't even thought about or mentioned amongst ourselves. Why would we, when the first one hadn't even started?

From my point of view that sentence about making it up as we go was the most important thing in the original post. It meant that we didn't have to plan a fixed set of rules: if and when something unforeseen came up, we'd adapt to it then. That's why I said "initial conditions". I'd never have proposed anything that took away our ability to adapt in the middle of this, and especially not about something so untried.
A state's budget will likely remain the same regardless of who pays the bill. If Microsoft did not enjoy the tax breaks, everyone else would including its employees.
Odd to call a 38-year-old stats expert with an excellent track record of journalism and prediction a "kid"... Silver certainly has gotten much of this election wrong, which he admitted, but so has everyone else. In the end, he's presenting facts, and the predictions are probabilities rather than Silver saying "I know what will happen".

I've followed FiveThirtyEight's coverage of this election closely. Some articles are data-driven, and some are just the thoughts of the statisticians.

This is his fault, but many of these FiveThirtyEight articles don't make that much sense in isolation. If you read them as a series, you can see the data that drives assertions like these.

Here's support from FiveThirtyEight (and others) that demonstrate Trump's chances of winning as being very low:

1. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/donald-trump-sexism-wome...

Curious why they hadn't been doing this all along. This seems like low hanging fruit to add value. Maybe I'm missing something.
I think, its more like version 0.1 of what's possible. I can foresee the existence of wills on the blockchain. e.g. 'move my coins to my inheritors public key, in 10 years, unless I overwrite this will, with something else'

In fact bitcoin's cousin, Ethereum, is all about digital contracts.

But there could be cases, where people lose their keys or die, without making a will. We can easily foresee, that in this case software could accommodate cases, as exceptions, where identity is otherwise attached to the public key.
