User support is really easily measured in the event of a split and really hard to measure before the split.

Quite simply, the coin price indicates support. After the split, there will be two versions of the Bitcoin network with independent prices. A non zero price indicates non-zero support, and as long as it's at least 25% of the original price, it'll probably be okay.

A high price indicates high support.

In the long term, the hashrate follows the price. Miners will mine the coin with the highest price, because they can't afford any other option. Electricity is expensive.
You can't data mine users as much.
You can't easily advertise specials or high margin items.
Not that i think those are legitimate, but if a 3rd party app became popular and easily accessible, the company would lose the control over their perception.
I am also doing a lot of reverse enginering work for fun and profit. I agree with most parts, except android.

While reversing Android apps, usually they are obfuscated ( I think it is included in the standard build process ), but when you are start to be familier with objective C (or swift) binaries there are really straight forward, with a nice disassembler and script, in my experience much faster.

Request signing, certificate pinning etc are not actually target at reverse engineers, more like to snoopers, replay attackers etc.

Also I agree with 4 totally, there is no point there, you should do your security on server side, instead of client side. (Except games I guess, which they can ban players etc, making it a cat and mouse game there can work pretty good actually)

Much harder targets, like obfuscated c++, or VMs (bytecode interpreters etc) usually helps with #4, but still then, it just slows down. (This slow down combined with regular changes in protection is basically targeted to make reverse engineers to give up)

I really can't understand this comment. I have a friend whose dream it is to go to Japan but can't afford the cost. Should airlines lower the cost flights just so her and her family can afford to buy tickets?

Anyways, the bumping situation only would come up rarely, most oversold flights don't have to bump anyone and usually oversold flights have volunteers before they have to involuntary bump someone.
SIs are tough. It depends on who you are, who they are and the space that you are buying in.

If you're not huge, the integrator may be your best option as the OEM may not be able to support you. This all depends on your vertical, location, etc.

OEMs with market power like Cisco treat integrators like mini Cisco salesmen -- you must go with the first one you registers the deal with Cisco to get the best backend price. In other markets like identity, the SIs traditionally have been more subject matter experts who know the products. Cloud changes a lot of this stuff on the infrastructure side as your often held hostage to whatever your provider of choice uses.

Supercomputing Centers Have Become Showcases for Competing HPC Technologies
Isn't your argument why we have the saying that "the best is the enemy of the good"? You seem to be dismissing any automated product that is not perfect even if it is demonstrably already much safer overall than the manual human equivalent. Surely this can't be the right policy if the goal is to maximise safety.

This is not to say that current autonomous vehicles actually are much safer than the human equivalent. Indeed, everything I've seen so far suggests that they have a long way to go before crossing that threshold, so personally I'm a sceptic about claims that we will see viable fully autonomous vehicles any time in the next few years. But this doesn't seem to be your argument here.
From my experience, for certificate pinning, fastest option is to search for existing certificate/fingerprint, and try to replace it with charles’/mitmproxie’s

Edit: oh another trick usually works is to change transport to HTTP from HTTPS, just changing endpoint to something you control and changing it to http (with little hex editing the endpoint), and reverse proxy with mitmproxy/charles to the target, you can speed up process.
Customers created the problem, not United.

People want to pay the _absolute_ minimum possible to travel, no exceptions. If you tell people "For $5 more we won't have you kicked in the head by an angry toddler" people loudly tell each other "Yeah, yeah, I really want that, $5 is a steal". And then, they click "No thanks" and say to themselves "Saved myself $5"

Every safety feature on an aeroplane is there because it's mandated by law. If you let people go without for a dollar, people who'd use a dollar to wrap used gum will forego the safety to save a dollar, because people think of every dollar spent on air travel as somehow "wasted" even as they simultaneously complain about how awful air travel is.

Over the years Airlines have _tried_ telling customers they're interested in offering a better service for a higher price, and customers almost all say that's what they want, and almost all choose a different, cheaper airline. This is the customers' fault, as clear as day.

I don't know about top three but in the medical field I would have to say the artificial kidney would have to be up there. For people who cannot find a donor match, it buys tremendous time to find a living donor. Don't believe the intent is to utilize an artificial kidney permanently but can be used for a lengthy period of time reducing dependence on dialysis, etc.

The other in the medical field would have to be the laser scalpels that can do precision deep brain surgery. They have revolutionized brain surgery and allowed removal of tumors previously inaccessible to surgeons.

Can't think of anything more valuable than inventions that preserve life.

Back in college I donated sperm for money. It's not like I was forced into it; it was just nice to have an extra source of income besides my student job.

This also enables sperm banks to retain recurrent donors, which means they can afford to do very rigorous testing amortized over several dozen sperm samples. DNA screening, urine tests, blood tests, etc. That wouldn't be viable under the blood donation model. I've donated blood 5 or 6 times but I doubt even that's enough to make it worth the kind of testing they did on me as a sperm donor.

The difference is, a working Government works for the people. Note I said a working Government. A company has no loyalty, no core incentive to work for anyone but themselves. They have no reason to be nice, and not do "dick moves" as you put it.

We can't expect companies to have morals, they should operate within the law. Governments must keep them in check, keep the laws safe for humanity.

To me, I extend this to anything that "matters". Ie, I believe in reformed health care because health care is too important to me to be handled by corruption. Insurance companies are not aligned with the peoples incentives. Just like how Cable is not aligned with my incentives either. They want to squash competition, stifle innovation, and fundamentally change an equal playing field of access and bandwidth.
Only one airline explicitly does not overbook flights on purpose: JetBlue. This leads one to expect that their overbooking rate due to flight cancellations (0.5 out of 10,000 passengers) is approximately the rate you'd see across the industry if what you're saying is true. Instead, Delta and United (for example) bump passengers at 10/10000 and 7.2/10000, respectively.

Your assertion requires that you actually provide evidence to counter these facts. As you have given none, I have to assume you are incorrect.

I think that's not quite true. The industry (oil, car manufacturing, software, etc.) is pretty much dependent on the Western products and tech.

Besides Uber, GetTaxi is quite popular in Russia. And there are more local similar taxi services besides Yandex, but they are less known. In general, Uber and Yandex are the most popular at the moment.

Let me get this out of the way: While I admire the contributions by the Ethereum Foundation and wish them all the best, I think the hard fork shouldn't have been done. I think letting the money get away would show that they actually mean the 'code is law' statement that was thrown around (Note that I have till date never owned ETH or ETC and probably won't in the near future)

Now that that's out the way, let me say the cognitive dissonance in that post is palpable. Words are conveniently placed so spin the situation into something else.

r/Bitcoin is shown to be the culprit here, just because they are the ones with the most subs and poking fun at ETH. The reality was every other altcoin community was doing the exact same thing. I was watching everything closely when as it unfolded. I can link you posts from other subreddits if you want.

>The Ethereum community stuck together, worked together, and fought back. Successfully

This is false. Quite a few of the ETH community fought for not forking. No one wants to lose money, so who wouldn't want to fork. Many vocal people invested quite a bit of their funds so it is completely understandable.

The irony here is, even the 'rogue hackers' were probably part of the ETH community. Who else would know the codebase so well? The phrase 'stuck together' is false.

>Barry Silberts co-owned exchange "Poloniex" raced to be the first exchange to start trading the coin of this old chain (ETC)

Looks like something a smart person would do. I would also capitalize on trades that people will make with ETC. You've immediately got twice the volume therefore double the fees that can be collected. This is clearly a good business decision. Doing that before other exchanges means more fees collected!

>ETC is an Attack against Ethereum

That's a bold claim. I don't see any 'attack'. Any person with half a brain can see which one is the original ETH. It is a fork, so calling it an attack is dramatic.

>It's a technological attack, and a monetary scam

Big words. I don't see any technology being used to attack ETH. Just people mining the coin they support.

>If you have bought, or holding, or still planning to buy ETC, be ready to get hit by some nasty surprises down the road ( on those days - and I can already foresee a few - I will be linking everyone back to this thread right here, as a reminder).

Now who sounds like they are spreading FUD?

-------------------

While Poloniex was made out to be the perpetrator, it has only 5% of the 24hr transaction volume. So pointing fingers at the Poloniex person was baseless and foolish.

I believe in a bright future for ETH and will probably get into it, but falsifying events is a great way to show others that the community can't self-police and is an echo chamber.

PoW does not "fix" consensus. It orders transactions. That is the only thing it can do, but it is an important thing as the well defined ordering of transactions globally is the only thing that can prevent double spending. Miners are paid to do this.

How the software functions is the subject of the old-fashioned open source project. This is also the weak spot. If you want to increase the number of available Bitcoins, your first step is to convince all developers on the project.
I'm going to start using this today! What a great idea.
Actually it is opposite, mobile platform is more secure.

But...

Security depends on ‘sense of security’, when people think platform is more secure, they tend to ignore/skip a lot of parts on security. Developer tend to skip edge cases (such as pizza API in this thread). When they are developing on secure platforms, they tend to skip more.

For example if you are developing for not jailbroken platform, you trust platform DRM (mostly consoles), and skip a lot of parts, you put the certificate pinning, and call it a day. When platform is broken, you are totally exposed.

But when you are developing for web, you are exposed from the beginning, you dont have that sense of security anymore, so you try to fix all edge cases.

Responding to the “Campaign for Accountability” report on academic research
I couldn't agree with you more.
Considering Firefox is open-source, is patching in a backdoor to the EME implementation a feasible way of handling the DRM situation? I don't see many reasons why I would not want to be running client-side intentionally backdoored EME?
This doesn't make DRM any easier. It makes it easier for media companies. If you are implementing a browser now you have to do backroom deals with DRM providers to use their plugins.

Hopefully you have a nest egg from advertisement sales or manufacturing a popular phone or something, otherwise the DRM providers won't give 2 shits about you.

I have also had issues, except on Android. Admittedly, I am using a rather old smartphone now, a Note II, which my carrier has only allowed to update to Android 4.4.2.

Whenever I try to order something through the starbucks app, I have to try multiple times because at some point in the ordering process the message, "unfortunately starbucks has stopped," or something like that will pop up and the app will close. Usually no progress is saved. Often it will crash right as it is processing the payment, and when I open it back up I have to go to the order history to check to see if it went through. Usually if I make it that far before it crashes then my order will have been submitted successfully.

I would love to be able to skip the UI and just submit my order an alternate way, but maybe the answer is to just stop being so cheap and to get a new phone.
I absolutely agree with what you are saying, but I also believe most hugely successful people who work, work (or worked early in their careers) just as hard as anyone else, they just happen to be working at the right thing with the right people. Of course once you are successful, you can hire people to do most of the work for you while you just monitor.

Finding the right thing with the right people is where the socioeconomic status comes in, particularly having a well connected family.

On my graduation year, my university created a slogan, "It's not what you know, it's who you know." Having just spend 5 years getting a degree from said university, I thought that wasn't a very good slogan for such an institution. It was absolutely correct though.
I will most definitely expect browser vendors to perform these fixes. I think you've fallen behind on what's taking place in the browser world right now, a huge percentage of users are on evergreen webkit browsers (and increasing rapidly). The next 4-6 years of web will NOT look like the last 4-6 years of web. And this doesn't even account for bundled browser implementations (electron, etc.)
What about Gett?
Couple of recent attempted fixes:

Food mixer - resin washer instead of metal, without tools to machine a purpose fit washer is irrepairable.

TV - 4 years old, needed new main board, nothing at less than 50% cost of a brand new (better) TV. No parts from named manufacturer (re-badged).

Kettle - plastic in switch, clearly a weak point, suspect it was designed in, double thickness and the kettle would probably go forever. 3D print would fix, epoxy glue kept detaching.

Multimeter - battery flat, no compartment. One triangle security screw, one stripped head. Had to mangle the case to change the battery.

Mobile phone - Acer, case impossible to open without damaging: screws + one-way plastic security tabs. Just screws or a redesigned tab would make it repairable. No 1st party battery for sale of course.

Lawnmower - push mower can't detach drive for blades as they've used circlips on rods where bolts would have served. Need to buy circlips pliers, if clips break replacements not available.

Rechargeable shaver/trimmer - battery soldered in, shell glued shut. Battery is non-standard cells. Plenty of room for a battery compartment FWIW.

With more popular items where company hasn't actively hobbled the repairability then I agree, information to make repairs is often widely available.

Aside: I'm building a mental list of home items designed to fail too - like all plastic dustpans having a narrowing of the handle at the stress point; they all are thinnest at that point and all break at that point. We could probably cut the demand to 10% with a cm^3 of extra plastic.
A secure standard for ads. Right now reputable sites are running ads from people they shouldn't trust, and getting bit in the ass by it. Popups, page takeovers, even viruses get distributed through ad networks and end up on non-malicious sites.

None of that should work. Ads shouldn't be able to inject their own JavaScript into a page. There's a technical solution to that problem.

Let's narrow down the scop of things an ad needs to do (display an image, maybe play sounds and videos (after user clicks on them), and send back a reasonable amount of tracking data, etc). Then let's come up with a sandboxed DSL for ad networks to specify their ads. Web sites could embed those ads inside an <ad> tag that sandboxes that content and makes sure only supported functionality is being used.

Then I can turn off my ad blocker and not have to worry about all the security issues that unscrupulous ad providers bring with them today.

Why you should not learn German: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Awful_German_Language
This is precisely the way SMS started to cost something ludicrous like $300,000/GB - carriers started out with "5000 FREE SMS!!!" to their own network, some small amount to other carriers. People got on board with this "promotion" - then the carriers started raising prices and lowering the "free" quota.

When people finally realized how much they were getting ripped off - they figured communicating via the internet via platforms like WhatsApp and Messenger is much cheaper.

The carriers took a massive hit to their bottom line - and are now trying to get it back via implementing the same practices onto internet services.
Err, each layer on top of IP slows down traffic, not speeds it up. The extra overhead and retransmits result in less useful data being transferred with each packet.

You're in a good place. I live in a neighborhood with older homes similar climate. Lots of people are doing solar because it's cool, but ignoring windows and insulation.

We ran the numbers on our house with an energy audit and found that the return on insulation, an attic fan and window replacement was literally like 2-3x solar.

The other thing to look at is solar hot water. It's not sexy, but that has been high ROI since the 80s.
