Ha! That is probably because there's comparatively less correlation between terrorist attacks and foreign politics, than there's between terrorist attacks and attacker's religion. In case you are not aware, various islamic groups perform terrorist attacks in Philippines (look up recent news), India and Russia, the former two being 100% internal affairs.

What will happen once Bitcoin is replaced by a clearly superior technology?

It is quite likely that cryptocurrencies and related tech will revolutionize many aspects of our lives. But that is also exactly why Bitcoin will decline. Its current value comes from speculation rather than utility. When actual business is done on the blockchain, the value created by that will surpass value from speculation so much that no consideration will be given to bitcoin and its technological baggage. Business will simply use a newer crypto because it is more economical. We'll use something that's faster, easier, cheaper, and less energy consuming.

When superior competitors exist, Bitcoin will simply have no inherent value. It will be like a government invalidating a currency, except it won't happen as fast.

No. The data record hash is only about your zone file. The zone file is just like DNS. It can point to different things. So say you point 'profile' to 'mywebsite.com/myprofile.json', and then in your profile you can update things about yourself independently. Just make sure to always attach a signature to it, so people can verify that you actually did that.

Here's a profile: https://blockstack.s3.amazonaws.com/muneeb.id

Here's how a simple zone file looks (from https://onename.com/muneeb.json):

$ORIGIN muneeb.id
$TTL 3600
_http._tcp IN URI 10 1 "https://blockstack.s3.amazonaws.com/muneeb.id"
Basically, regardless of VMs etc, parsing any kind of binary data is inherently dangerous. Old binary formats were bespoke, there weren't always standard libraries to read the headers etc, so everyone wrote their own, with their own bugs. A common attack vector was simply using invalid lengths on header fields, causing a stack or buffer overflow to fool the host into executing the binary data as code.

That's one of the reasons these days there's a tendency to use text-based representations like JSON, but of course anything size-sensitive such as images and movies is still generally binary.
Hi,

I was one of the original contributors to Gentoo in the late 90s (back then it was called Enoch). We had a private FTP site we stored source code and packages at, and we all downloaded regular snapshots of the system. I would archive milestones to CD-R out of a sense of duty+fear.

It sounds primitive, but at the time source control was something only wealthy corporations had.
The title is a bit misleading, at least to me. I thought the article was about either physics of flying very low or flight-like motion underwater. Instead the technical bits are about software bugs appearing when altitude is below MSL.
Maybe because the title and bulk of the article directly attributes the problems discussed to Obama and his administration? That the ability to abuse such things was made easier during his term? The problem may be bigger than any one person, but that doesn't mean we don't discuss their possible role in that problem.
It would build an array of n distinct elements. And for efficiency, this comment [0] is about the drawbacks of the solutions used in the article.

That's great, but you're really overestimating the coping capabilities of people with ADHD - which is defined in relation to causing significant difficulties with ones life. And then there are all of the poor coping strategies which one comes up with over time that can minimise obvious problems while magnifying underlying ones.

Medication makes a huge difference. Would you say the same to a diabetic? If not, why would you say that to someone with ADHD?
This is definitely the interesting part. My favorite bit is the features that were coded in, but are missing from the build because they weren't part of a test.

I mean, I grew up in Soviet Russia. My other fun childhood memories include dental work without anaesthesia, a dentist ripping two teeth out with a pair of pliers, my dad falling asleep drunk on the subway and my mom pretending not to know who he is, my friend almost getting crushed to death by a collapsing fence, etc.

But overall, being forced to eat something you don't want to eat is a normal part of growing up - kids are fickle and don't realize that some things gotta be done because they're good for you.

Being forced to eat dog biscuits is obviously all-punishment-and-no-broccoli, and serving me a shitty omelette was clearly memorable enough to turn me off of them for life, but if I were to make a things I'd work on to improve myself, dealing with the psychological trauma of poorly cooked eggs is waaay down on the list by any objective measure.

3% is probably inaccurate, it may be 2% with a cap of 21 cents or something like it, I don't know the average percentage. I do know it is upsetting enough to Walmart to sue for 5.9 billion in 2014[1] and join a class action lawsuit for 3 billion in 2003[2], to go in on a electronic mobile payments processor with rivals target and stores rite aid and cvs[3]. I got all this perspective following the news that Walmart would not back Apple Pay because it was holding out for it's own system [4] with lower fees called "CurrentC" (that I think died? I haven't heard about it since).

That last article quotes it at up to 3% but most say 2%, so I am assuming there is a percentage and a fixed cost, and possibly a cap. In any case Walmart had a long history of being very unhappy with the relationship.

Collaboration platform Smartsheet nabs $52M at $800M valuation
Thanks for that. I read the article and was really confused at first. I don't do a whole lot of video editing, but I've opened up a .srt file a handful of times and noticed that it was nothing more than timestamps and text. The fact that the article made it seem like this was some kind of universal vulnerability made me wonder, "A simple subtitle file should be opened in read-only mode. Are these programs just reading whatever is in the .srt file and EXECUTING it!?!" That would be beyond horrible.

The fact that it's multiple, independent vulnerabilities makes me feel a little better. I've used Kodi and OpenSubtitles before while watching a movie to search and download subs for the movie without ever leaving Kodi. When it works, it's nothing short of magical.
"Officially", SRT files are only timecodes and text, but most players support html codes directly like <b> <i> <u> to support more formatting options than the basic SRT. I wonder if some of them simply render the text as html and could be vulnerable to similar attacks. I say "Officially" because SRT has no standard, it just evolved through usage and it's a fucking mess, as I'm a software dev working on a subtitling editor software.

> What will happen once Bitcoin is replaced by a clearly superior technology?

Maybe the same thing that happened when JPEG, mp3, email, C, and http were replaced with superior technologies. I actually think the future will be a combination of crypto-currencies for quite a while, but there are plenty of examples of certain formats and protocols being good enough to keep their dominance after having a superior network effect.

Bitcoin's major hurdle right now is that Blockstream, the current bitcoin github maintainers, and the moderators of /r/bitcoin working very hard to suffocate bitcoin through lies and propaganda. There are hundreds of cases of them lying and misleading people, while /r/bitcoin is heavily censored.

Even here on hacker news they are aggressive in controlling the narrative, but go to /r/btc and ask how many people have been banned or have their comments deleted from /r/bitcoin. Or go to /r/bitcoin and say something positive about bitcoin unlimited or bitcoin classic. /r/bitcoin's moderation logs aren't even public.
Trucking and Blue-Collar Woes
I agree with what you are saying but given the probabilities (I don't see the big 5 having a significant data breach any time soon) it is something I'm willing to trade off or sacrifice so to speak. I guess the ideal scenario would be that all corporation and the government does not store my data, even anonymously. But this is unrealistic and I haven't bothered looking for alternatives that are safer/have more privacy.

Focusing on unlikely events is inefficient in that the preparations or measures taken against them often are not worth the expected benefit. Pointing out that there is always risk of improbable events is not always useful especially when mitigating these risks is costly. We increase the chances of being hit by a car when we leave the house or when we jaywalk.

Personally for me, the benefits from using services provided by Google or any other company outweigh the risks of my information falling into the wrong hands. The worst that I can hypothesize would be a political opponent using some data to pin a crime on me and throw me in jail. Or maybe some of this data could lead to me losing my job. Both unlikely scenarios. I am fortunate however because I live in a country where politicians are less likely to abuse their power (still a possibility of course) and I am not a political dissident nor a criminal. The same can't be said for everyone, so for people where the risks are far greater, they take extra precautions because it is worth it for them.
Interesting points!

I can't quite remember where I came across this (most likely in a TED talk), and details I can recollect are very vague but here is a horrifying tidbit from history:

In those days, apparently people used to collect excreta in some form of bins, and dump it out in the streets. People used to drop it from multi floor buildings also :(

It was mentioned that if a man is taking a woman on date, while walking in the street he has to keep the woman on the side of the street; While the man himself is walking on the side of the buildings (imagine man, woman walking hand in hand, side by side). Why? in case someone throws unpleasant things from a window above, it is the man who will take the (s)hit.

Sorry if it is unbelievably outrageous, but apparently that was our past :(
Technical quality and artistic quality are orthogonal, though the former can have an influence on the latter.

This reminds me of certain credit card signature pads that generate an error if you don't begin your signature in a particular area on the pad.

It's all too easy for designers to consider input constraints that (a) don't actually improve the user experience, and (b) don't actually make the downstream part of the system more robust.

If the user's signature is a chicken scratch and the GPS is reporting a trusted, verified altitude of -750 feet, who cares?

What still needs to be done? Does Idris have enough of the power that you need?
Absolutely. The current system allows individuals or companies to hold onto a piece of land indefinitely with no downsides, why would you ever sell it?

Property tax is the only way to level the playing field for everyone. If you want to hold land, you have to pay yearly for it based on it's value.
There is absolutely no benefit to having a LD. Seriously, there is NONE - people with LDs who attain success do so in spite of their LD, not because of it. This notion that LDs make you more "creative" or whatever is backed by absolutely no research and is mostly a bunch of feel-good nonsense.

A great reference for this is Dr. Russell Barkley:

Something like that.

Although this perhaps shows a society split into various fractions (jews, blacks, trade unionists, gays, etc), and each fraction is taken one by one, until it's time they come to get the author's fraction. I.e. everybody eventually gets "taken".

Whereas in my example, it's more a society that has a small amount of people who work for change, and they are the ones that get "put away"/stopped.

In this latter case, nobody explicitly comes to "get/put away" the majority. Their lives just deteriorate (worse laws, more discrimination, etc.) and they don't even know why.

Not to mention if I had a child and someone force fed him anything I'd be filing charges.

5 reasons why ES6 ROCKS, yo
I'm using ES6 async/await and I can't be happier, async programming is almost sane now. The only drawback is that you have to remember that it's all syntax sugar about Promises and they are just a bit more than syntax sugar about callbacks, so you have to understand how each async thing works or you'll be mad. But when you know those things, you can be asynchronously productive.
