This leak once again shows the importance of transparency in negotiations that will impact the lives of 800 million people (and the rest of the world indirectly).

If TTIP were ratified, it would be out of the control of any subsequently elected democratic governments as it would be part of international law.

Regardless what you think of TTIP it seems like the very least to ask is that a contract of such importance is discussed in the open where the public can have a voice in their own future.
Wait. Are we sure Gavin wrote this? Has Gavin confirmed this anywhere else?

Gavin doesn't mention it on his Twitter account.

Does anyone have a primary source that corroborates this from Gavin?
You can buy, off the shelf from any number of vendors now, a single box with 512G or more main memory, 48 or more processor cores, and several teras of storage, with the option of SSDs. Like, click click click and a courier delivers it a couple days later, that easy. Running Postgres say, the workload these things can support is insane. Far, far more than 99% of people worrying about "scalability" will ever actually need. This is a solved problem.

Perhaps the real Satoshi can no longer hide as before but rather wants to hide in the group of wannabe-Satoshis by appearing to have been dismissed as a fake Satoshi.
I'm not sure how much weight that has. Forget what people say to/in public settings and look at their current & previous actions.

If Trump were not in presidential race and putting on public face, how do you think he would treat TTiP based on his lifetime actions?
I think he would support & exploit it every way he could, & i think thats what he will do in reality regardless of what he states publicly but that's just me.

Never trust what politicians say if all their actions run contrary.
Now you're just being argumentative by deciding to use your personal ideas of what majority/minority means, then complaining when others use a different definition.

Certainly the members of the Althing are a minority of the people of Iceland, and have the majority of the legislative power. But if that's your definition then it's a pretty useless one.

Well, Gavin Andresen is a bitcoin core dev that according to this very news just got hacked.

It's logical to think that when a core dev of something as sensible as bitcoin get's hacked and you can't trust the code anymore, it takes a really big chunk of credibility from bitcoin.

Hmm I don't understand the point of this article.

A feed is a feed. It doesn't matter how it's created. There is utility to the chronological feed as there is the the algorithmic.

Curation has been happening for a very long time. The problem is that it's not enough even to curate.

For those who experience the problem, the issue really is that they have so much information of potential relevance but still can't read more than one feed item at a time (unless it's just pictures)

http://000fff.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/model_01.png

This wont be solved by it being curated because that introduces another problem which is whether you trust the curation.

Not sure it can ever be solved. But the feed isn't dying. It's fundamental.
He puts a large enough emphasis on it and garners enough support from it. I doubt he's going to do a 180 if elected.

It's not quite like George Bush's offhand "we will not do nation building" or Obama's offhand "this will be the most transparent administration ever". The unfairness of US trade deals is fairly central to his campaign and his support base of working class whites in hollowed out ex-industrial America.

Then again, can't rule it out either.
This looks like a political statement, not like a serious security measure. "No sane person would say the things this guy is saying, so he must have been hacked." Like the Soviet Union where political opponents would be declared to be insane to silence them.

What damage are they afraid he will do with commit access? Wouldn't it be better to wait for him to commit so they can see what the "hacker" is trying to accomplish?

BBC and Gavin yes, though the tone from the Economist was quite skeptical I think.
I think the EU itself was simply the start of the "hijacking". After all it is mainly an economic union meant to liberalise trade within Europe.

What's interesting is that there is actually more Fortune 500 companies in the EU (though really just in western Europe) than in the US. However the difference, I believe is that till now political power is less concentrated in the EU than it is in the US so Shell has much less influence on most EU states than Chevron has on US states simply because it is harder for Shell to influence policy outside of the Netherlands and UK. But with the harmonisation of markets and EU policy and centralisation of political power this will all change.

Depends on the contract really... do we know what terms do the OEMs sign? If Google is free to change the terms on renewal, then they can simply state "must provide updates for X years, up to Y days after upstream, cannot change Z - or you can't call it Android". That would either cause an instant solution or instant full-OEM-forks.
7nm is not the end of Moore's law. The whole reason why there are problems now is because they are switching from paradigm. ASML is the largest supplier of photolithography systems and has been upgraded from 32 nm to the next 10 nm.

However, as the new EUV machines are being put into production. It does not make financial sense to still make the 10 nm chips. As buying the new machines and infrastructure is a huge investment, you can understand that some companies are focussing on the existing 10 nm machines (maybe focus on lower end of the market). The problems with EUV are mainly starting problems with using different technology, IBM has already made 7nm chips and ASML has 5nm and 3nm in their roadmap[1].

Gavin is one of many core devs, and Bitcoin good enough security procedures to survive a dev's machine being hacked.
As an honest reply its not a Reddit specific problem that any discussion of technology, news, or politics inevitably leads to scorched earth where-ever its tried.

I am not the one trying to argue that minority means anything other than minority. It really is an abuse of the English language to define that a group is a minority even though they are a majority and that a former majority is still a majority because some minority of people have power.

For my brother and father it is more like they understand emotions in themselves, and that other people feel emotions similarly, but have trouble identifying them or why they are happening in others because it is harder to take another person's perspective.

Once they know that the person is upset, they empathize and feel bad, so they can in fact understand the person, but they could not guess that there was a problem withoute explicitly spelling it out, and could not derive it from any non-verbal cues.

I will never get an iPhone as it is a luxury on my part of the planet or when I eventually do get one, it will most likely be second hand.

The Windows Phone developer stack is great in regards to Android, but with all the missteps Microsoft did, the last being the failure to fulfill the promise of upgrading all WP 8.1 devices to WP 10, we really only have Android as viable alternative to iOS.
True, except that as a developer I'd prefer to target only one architecture. Now we're forced to write apps for iOS and Android and the web separately.

Fragmentation is an old beast.

Android is no better than what we had with Symbian, J2ME or proprietary mobile OSes that came before current crop of mobile OSes.

Comments about website formatting are a pestilence, and off-topic for HN. Because the topic of web design is both subjective and very accessible, even to people who have barely skimmed the article, they tend to spawn large, distracting subthreads --- sometimes those subthreads even end up at the tops of threads.

Petitioning site owners to change their design via HN threads almost never works, but (ironically) is virtually guaranteed to degrade the HN thread itself. So, just don't.

I agree that it is unlikely he was hacked due to the reasons you provided (i.e. no play), but I have a theory that he is the real deal and created a 'phony' proof so that he could wait to sense what the media backlash was (positive or negative) before deciding whether or not to go ahead and provide a 'real' proof or simply just make it look like he is lying.

The proof is complex enough for only the technical community to be able to catch / disprove, but not for much of the mainstream media, which will be forming a general opinion on who Wright is and what this means for Bitcoin.

This helps explain why Andresen is so certain, because he has seen the real proof and is going to "let him decide how much of that story he shares with the world" [0]

Flat taxes might not be practical, but the baffling system of VAT and excise duties we have in place at the moment place a really high bureaucratic burden on businesses.

I'm often pro-regulation, and I like taxes, and I definitely thought some of those tax avoiding businesses were abusively avoiding tax.
You are trying to define it so it only applies to population size.

That's not what it means. It's a shorthand for "social minority", as the top of the Wikipedia page I pointed out clearly says. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_group

> Minority group is a term referring to a category of people differentiated from the social majority, i.e., those who hold the majority of positions of social power in a society, and may be defined by law. Rather than a relational "social group", as the term would indicate, "minority group" refers to the above-described. The differentiation can be based on one or more observable human characteristics, including: ethnicity, race, religion, caste, gender, wealth, health or sexual orientation. Usage of the term is applied to various situations and civilizations within history, despite its popular mis-association with a numerical, statistical minority.
Nuclear bomb on Apple campus? This isn't 1995 and Windows. If anything Android becomes even more fragmented both for commercial reasons and by government meddling requiring different things in different countries until the OS is split up. Saying you are "Android" requires Google's restrictive license and that grates on lots of manufacturers who would love to be out from under their thumb and control their business. Don't forget that Apple still makes almost 90% of the profit from building devices. That is Android's weakness. Even Google doesn't directly make much. You may love your phone but if building it doesn't make the suppliers money something has to give.

Well I also left out the most obvious thing, which is describing a confident handshake as "shaking hands like a man." That really is blatantly sexist.
Interestingly, you consider "the web" a single target, and not "Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, IE" on "Linux, Windows, MacOS, IOS, Android"

And we consider android a single target, and not "Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Sony..."

We don't need android hegemony for easier development. We need cross platform development tools.
That still isn't right. Identity is immutable, state is something that is...identified by identity. The key of a map entry is different from the value of the entry, and in general the key can access the value, but not vice versa.
That's because Bitcoin's value is entirely belief based (you can't do anything useful with a Bitcoin if nobody else believes it has value), so the whole thing is much closer to a religion than anything based on reason and logic.

I'm sure this comment was written in good faith, but it doesn't belong at the top of this thread. It could be attached to virtually any post about Go. It barely engages with the actual post at all. Practically every other top-level comment below it is better.

And, of course, it spawned a completely useless thread litigating Java vs. Go. Perhaps that's why it's at the top of the thread --- which means voting had a perverse effect for this topic.

I don't know what to do about this tendency in language threads on HN, but it's a real problem.

Sure, I was impacted by that. A while back, I noticed some movie tickets charged to my card in Australia. I called my bank, disputed the charges, they reversed them and sent me a new credit card. Took...maybe 20 minutes of my time? Max?

And from this I'm meant to learn I can't trust the current system? Honest question: Why?
My thoughts too. Satoshi clearly didn't seek publicity, so making some clown to get media attention and meanwhile diverting their resources from seeking the real one sounds plausible. Though one question remains: why now? My guess would be that maybe someone from media or independent researchers might have came too close to the real identity of Satoshi..

The equally important point of a lot of CS research being locked away behind proprietary paywalls isn't addressed in this post.

I spent some time in industry and then I went back to get my Masters in CS which dropped me into the world reading and writing papers - something I wasn't exposed to as an undergrad. I couldn't believe the amount of (good) stuff out there. As programmer, you're used to reading blog posts, forums and watching talks about some aspect of programming, but the academic world is completely opaque to the professional developer even though there's a lot of relevant research that would benefit non-academics.

Academia is very tuned to latest developments in private industry - CS graduates, post-docs and professors follow and read the same sources coming out of professional programmers and they get excited about the same stuff. On the other hand, research done in academia is closed to working programmers - and it's a shame for both sides.
Lots of people who spent a lot of cash on bitcoins and now need to bring more people in to raise its value so that they can cash out.
Digg died not just because it was a redesign, but because it sold out as part of that redesign. Built into it was highlighting the content of media companies, and elevating it above the submissions by regular users.

Reddit has avoided getting bitten by this by selling out quietly behind the scenes. It has partnered with those same media companies and advertisers but it simply allows them to present themselves as regular users, or present their content in AMAs or other officially sanctioned channels.

Reddit has so far avoided Digg's big misstep; making it obvious to the users that they value the money from media companies more than the memes and other junk regular users make. But make no mistake, Reddit is currently in the same position Digg was in when everybody jumped ship. It's just too subtle for most Reddit users to notice.
It's way better than J2ME and lightyears ahead of proprietary OSes. If you think that's not the case, I don't think you remember those times very well. With J2ME it was basically close to impossible to create any app apart from the most basic ones without producer-specific APIs. Nokia, Siemens, Samsung, Motorola, etc. - they all had their own special extensions. Even if some game was released for more than one handset, each make had its own version.

(Although it was possible to write a translation layer - I wrote a nokia-to-siemens translating classes which worked in most cases)
