It's a protocol change that moves signature scripts out of the transaction itself, such that they are not included when calculating the hash/transaction ID of a transaction (a signature script contains both a signature plus additional data needed to fulfill a particular output script; only the additional data can the modified while keeping the signature valid). This is important because the signature script itself is unsigned data (a signature can't sign itself), which means that it's possible to change the signature script of a transaction, thus changing the transaction ID, and invalidating all transactions that pointed to the original transaction. This is colloquially referred to as "transaction malleability".
Tesla More Than Doubles Revenue, but Widens Losses
Do you really think NASA would be fine with canceling the SLS so they can restart a new reusable launch system, or contract with BO/SpaceX for one?

Any launch system that's in current development that isn't reusable is obsolete. The likely cost savings are so substantial they make disposables entirely uncompetitive. ULA knows this, Arianespace knows it, and NASA knows it but practices denial because their political support is predicated on a project spending lots of money in a huge number of vongressional districts.
That degrades property rights, so it's bad for the many.

I took the 30 seconds to look up who he was before I rushed to judgement. I briskly walked to judgement.
This jives with my experience.

One time in an expensive hotel in Asia, there were a few times when things were simply wrong, even though we had a named person assigned to our group as a manager to call on.

I met with the German general manager and suggested that his systems for ensuring a quality experience were not correctly set up.

He sat up straight in his chair and told me that he would deal with all the issues we had. From then on we had no more problems with the account manager...
GraphQL looks cool, kind of fancy but simpler way to do some complex SQL without the SQL.

Using the business as the root query would be a bit cumbersome, but more like:

business(id: "garaje-san-francisco") {

reviewers {

user {

name

favorited_businesses

favorited_businesses(name: "garaje")

}

}

}

If they provide user queries, then something like:

user {

name

favorited_businesses

favorited_businesses(name: "garaje")

}

My preferred analogy is paper shredders. Imagine if any criminal could just walk into a store and buy a paper shredder so effective that it's impossible for the FBI to piece the data back together, with or without a warrant, no matter how many resources they throw at it.

Clearly the solution is to require every paper shredder to be equipped with a camera to scan documents and upload them to cloud.gov before shredding. Of course, nobody would be authorized to look at the data without a warrant, and we should trust that nobody working for the government would ever break this law.

I've been paying attention to the situation in Illinois. All signs point towards things getting worse.

More people are moving out of Illinois than any other state. In polls residents of Illinois are most likely to say they're planning on moving to a different state. The state hasn't passed a budget in over two years, a US record for any state. Average income difference between families moving in and out of Illinois is over $20,000. The property taxes are second highest in the nation relative to COL and everyone agrees that they need to be increased to maintain the current budget. The state cut funding for all college grants programs and the average freshman class size at state schools has shrunk an average of more than 20% in two years. Illinois is the biggest exporter of students, and many never return. Pension costs are already 25% of the state budget and this is projected to increase.

The state is so deeply corrupt that bankruptcy seems inevitable. If not for the whole state at least Chicago. Madigan literally runs the state from the shadows and gov. Rauner has no real power.

The budget problems are accelerating at a frightening pace as anyone that can afford to leave the state does. The most severe issue is brain drain of the most bright and educated young people. Illinois will experience the fallout from this for decades.

If I had any money invested in Illinois I would watch this case closely. If Puerto Rico is allowed to proceed with bankruptcy to shed pension obligations Illinois will follow

In an earlier paper (The Dial, October 4) it has been argued that no effectual move in the direction of such an overturn can be made except on the initiative and under the direction of the country's technicians, taking action in common and on a concerted plan."

Use a paid service. I use Fastmail. It baffles me every day, how HN is obsessed with Gmail as if there was no alternative and are willing to trade a minor improvement in comfort over having every email read, analyzed, indexed, profiled and put into the Ad machine. I'm also surprised that so many people use the web client and not a native client with IMAP.

It's not owned by Blizzard anymore, it is a major piece of human culture and should be treated as such.

To poorly translate Victor Hugo : "The principle is twofold, let us not forget it. The book, as a book, belongs to the author, but as thought, it belongs - the word is not too vast - to the human race. All intelligences are entitled to it. If one of the two rights, the right of the writer and the right of the human mind, should be sacrificed, it would certainly be the right of the writer, for the public interest is our sole preoccupation, and All, I declare, must pass before us."
What are you talking about? HN is full of people pushing Fastmail over Gmail.
You probably want to read on the difficulties facing the Winklevoss' proposed ETF for Bitcoin.

The MVP of your proposed idea is easy; the legal version is hard. If you do the MVP and don't put in an effort to get legal the happy case outcome is the SEC sends you a very annoyed letter and you shut down; there are a number of less-happy outcomes.

(If you're going to spend a few years getting intimately familiar with how to operate mutual funds writing software to do that might be more interesting than anything in crypto, since it doesn't require any speculation to envision a future where mutual funds run the world and are run on Excel spreadsheets and bubble gum.)
I suggest fiverr works great if you have a clear definition of your product/service. It's a drag to get the freelancer on board and get the details set straight. So I took the DIY approach.

Sql is a bad example, because you don't have to follow the new sql standard if you choose not to. Your​ existing app will continue to work on existing databases that implement the old SQL standard.

A more salient example is the TCP/IP protocol! You cant juat update it, since it's required for everyone to agree on it!

Individual voters are influenced by media. Publishers look hard for any story they can spin into public outrage; it's natural for politicians not to want to be a hero of such story, because it will cost them votes.
And is patently silly, forcing the requirement to decrypt rarely used private keys every 90 days.

The requirement should depend on password and hash strength, not some arbitrary decision.

PCI does not recommend employing password entropy checkers either.

90 day password can be weak while passing all the requirements.
"One man's modus ponens is another man's modus tollens"

Which direction of the implication you take is a matter of preference. People who agree with giving the government full power(and trust them not to abuse it) or who agree with not giving the government any of this power are both logically consistent with my argument.

I'm only attempting to rule out people who are okay with all of the existing documentation requirements, but balk at documenting their encryption keys.
Well, the video codec doesn't handle audio anyway, so neither am I.

I'm not an economy expert, but I'd say that the jobs that can be done with 'cheap labour' have already been moved to other countries long ago (at latest in the 90's after the reunification).

If you look at a typical German 'Mittelstand company', many look more like high-tec laboratories than typical factories from the inside, lots of robots, high automation, the people working there need to know the technology inside out, troubleshoot and fix problems quickly. That's difficult to get from a manufacturer on the other side of the globe who needs to juggle many different clients from all over the world.

And many German workers still have a certain loyalty to their company, since the company owner isn't some international celebrity CEO installed to squeeze the last bit of money out for 'shareholder value'.

ARPANET is not legendary. INTERNET is not a breakthrough. Same as mobile phones

It is just a bunch on computers connected over a wire, on a phenomenal scale...

To reach the next breakthrough, we ll first have to go through the next big global crisis...Our next breakthroughs will rise from its ashes.

So our generation might see the start of this crisis. Couple of your next generations will live through it..Maybe after even more generations, if we have learned a couple of things from the past (I mean, the present as of now), our intellects might be free enough so that human kind can create further breakthroughs...
The "out of China" part is the problem there. That's a problem that's pretty much irrelevant to a question of whether or not to distribute copies of data files.

And I didn't say that cultural importance is an automatic justification. The new star wars movie also has cultural importance, but there would be large downsides to free-for-all piracy of it during its release year. Downsides that don't exist with 20 year old source code.

I feel like I dodged a bullet by not taking VC money for Twiddla back when everybody was fighting to give it to us.

Considering how happy my life is now, and how often you see the Technical Founder get pushed out of his own company in place of a board-approved CTO, I don't imagine it would have left me net happier.

Best case might have been an acquihire, a few years couching it out waiting to vest at a big company, then a medium sized payday. Actual case was a (different) bootstrapped product and a bit of consulting that was a lot more fun and left me in a similar spot financially, 10 years later.

Anything less than best case, I'd be responding to the actual question posed here today.

I hope not for them, because there clearly was insider news at play, here.

While litecoin was rising in previous months and its coinbase addition has been rumored, technical analysis two days ago shown compression and it was not expected to have any big move before tomorrow. Then, out of nowhere, ltc spiked, yesterday. 3 hours later, it was announced that litecoin was being added on coinbase.
It would be ironic if at some point he was wiretapped and blackmailed into toeing the party line (where 'the party line' is 'they', and 'them', clearly).

On a more serious note though: it strikes me that in our time of 'total information awareness' the ability to blackmail people in powerful positions is a significant flaw in our system, much more so compared to the past.

Has any research been or anything worthwhile been written about this (potential) problem? I mean, we know people have been blackmailed or that attempts have been made, so the question is how common this actually is.

Despite my internal knee-jerk 'this sounds tinfoil-hatty', I can't think of anything keeping intelligence agencies from wielding massive hidden power in this way. Or would it just have come to light much more often if that were the case?

Bitcoin theft from brokers and outside sources has been a big issue over the years. It's universally accepted that the only responsible practice is to transfer funds from brokers and not share your private keys.

I can now tell you don't own and know nothing about Bitcoin. This discussion is pointless and has now ended.
One important thing to note that this is not in any definition a "free" market. IIRC producers cannot directly sell to consumers, grid providers cannot easily set up new power plants, the pricing is done in a VERY regulated way...basically the whole system is set up to be competitive not free. This distinction is something which I feel is often lost.

I can see what they are trying to do with this but the sort of person who takes outfit photos doesn't just take 1 photo they take 200 (and in different locations) and they certainly wont post it to social media without heavily editing it first.

The only use I can think for it is a convenient way to track which outfits you wear so you can remember what you paired with what but you could just as easily hold your phone in your hand and take a quick photo without the faff of syncing to get the photos on your phone!
I think it's important to separate the GPLv2 which is still vital and alive, and the GPL v3 which is now generally regarded to have been a failure.
Wow, this is a very overlooked comment. I had no idea about Starcraft: Remastered. They're releasing the original game in HD.

Technically, they have to defeat greylisting and server validity checks anyway to get mails accepted to most modern mail servers.
You can't run a production database without ECC. Well, you could, but you probably wouldn't have a job very long.

Memory gets less reliable with each process shrink. They keep raising the DRAM refresh rate with various tricks but we're always right on the edge of having memory with so many errors that it's unusable. The size of memory cells has decreased to the point that a stray subatomic particle could cause multiple bit errors.

Just wait for the next big solar storm. We don't know how often they strike the Earth but it seems to happen every 20 years or so. When it does we're going to have a massive flash of corrupt data from machines not using ECC. Probably worst than y2k issues
Oh I didn't know. Just found https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5233 after trading what you wrote.

I just assumed + is a valid character and a+b@example.domain would be a valid email address independent of a or b. But it seems we shouldn't allow + or -- when people sign up for a new email address?
I think a lot of people will be surprised at exactly which jobs too. It's not going to be the cleaners, the carpenters or the plumbers who still have to get into tight spaces that a robot butler can't handle. It's going to be the office workers that push computer bits around all day.

Any job where it all goes in and out over a wire is vulnerable. But robot manipulation in unstructured situations is still very hard, which means people are needed for their hands. I've been calling this future "Machines should think. People should work" for years. It's getting closer.

I'm not sure GPL v3 is a failure, but it has created a really bad taste -- at least 3 times I've been unable to link GPL V2 and GPL v3 code. In one case I reimplemented one piece of code, in the others I went in search of a BSD library instead.

You mean you actually are leaning on packaged, reviewed rootcode to prevent errors? That seems somewhat inconsistent with your stated mission.
IANAL, but... They owe you and it is a question if they can get it back to you, but the rightful owner has precedence in many (most?) cases. That's the setup for many kinds of scam. The scammed party buys something, but the transaction of the property is in some way faulty, while the money quickly disappears.
