The police have these people in physical custody. Why would they take a fall for their (also criminal) customers? There is nothing to gain but much to loose.

Actually, having the DB and all important files encrypted would be a better negotiating position for the admin. If the police catch the Admin and also get the DB and important files unencrypted, what is the admins negotiating position? They have the Admin and the important files.

In a perfect world, for the police, they want both, but a second best choice would be having the DB and important files with some jail time for the Admin. If I was the Admin I would give the police a choice, you can get me or can get me with reduced jail time and the DB and important file. You can get the conviction for the Admin and the buyers of the drugs too or Life for the Admin and let thousands of buyers and seller go free. Encrypted files would put the Admin in a great position.

This "second" became very noticeable to me once I moved to Sydney. I was actually able to log in to my Gmail before my 2FA kicked in. Right then I decided that, despite being a loyal LastPass user for the last 10+ years, it was time to try something else.

Arizona is in the car-centric USA. You walk straight from your car with AC into a shop with AC via the shortest path possible.

Spain, like most Europe is a lot more pedestrian/cyclist friendly and I'd imagine that traffic drops off a lot during the heat of the day.

I live in Canada which isn't anything near as hot as Arizona or Spain and I walk/cycle everywhere and I specifically avoid going anywhere from 11am-2pm in July/August if I can help it. sample-size=1, your mileage may vary.

> it is called a contract.

Think about what puts contracts at risk.

- enforceability. If your neighbor borrows your car and agrees to pay you $20 but never does, you are screwed. With Ethereum the smart contract could lock the door to the car until funds are received. Verbal contracts for low-priced transactions are rarely enforced.

I had a landlord who simply decided not to return my deposit, so I was out $5K. He stole the money simply because I didn't have time to fly back to that city and proceed with small claims court. With Ethereum, there could be an unbiased oracle that verifies the state of an apartment at end-of-lease and allows a contract to refund the deposit as agreed. The oracle could stop by for 15 minutes on move-in day and snap some pictures, then stop by on move-out day and verify the condition and deduct any money from the deposit as previously agreed. Also the contract could enforce that the money was held in escrow as required by law.

- regulatory risk. In some cases, regulators use their aesthetic to determine that some legal contracts are (in hindsight) bad, and they wipe them out. This drastically limits the usefulness of contracts as a planning mechanism and is essentially a tax (in the form of uncertainty) on all contracts. It's like having a buggy VM that does things arbitrarily differently now and then.

- higher confidence in the outcome of a contract. With paper meatspace contracts, the language is hard to understand and is pieced together from legal boilerplate based on court decisions where the court interpreted a sentence to mean something precise, etc. This makes these contracts difficult for a layperson to understand even though they are written in English. When you sign a contract you don't know how many times it has been reviewed by a court and whether the court found any of it to be unenforceable or to otherwise mean something different from what you think it means when you sign it.

We are always signing TOS agreements, license agreements, leases, waivers, etc. etc. Most of these are virgin legal territory, untested in the court system and designed by lawyers to be overly aggressive in favor of the entity the consumer is doing a transaction with. While it's great that all these contracts might one day be reviewed by a court if the stakes get high enough, a much better approach would be to have very simple, easily enforceable terms. How many unique smart contracts for doing insurance does the world need? Probably about as many as it needs AES implementations. Code that matters would be reviewed with far more scrutiny than most verbal contracts ever get, and composing contracts would also be far easier with well-defined, vetted behavior.

> Everyone on obfuscating their persona with Tor and bitcoins, still had to enter their postal addresses on the website, to receive the goodies.

Not exactly, these sites allow you to encrypt your address with the seller's public key. Of course it's possible that the site performs a man in the middle attack, but you could test for this. The big problem is that many users do not take advantage of the encryption features and send their address in clear text.

Regardless, there is inherent risk. Even with perfect encryption, as a buyer, you still have to trust a drug dealer with your mailing address. And there's no way to tell for sure that the seller isn't LE.
If I skip a meal I get hungry, but beyond extraordinary circumstances (like being extremely busy or fasting before a blood analysis), why would I want to do that?

Why is this bad or surprising? Isn't this how things work? You don't eat ==> you get hungry. Similarly with water and thirst. I'm not being flippant, I genuinely want to know why someone would think this is surprising.

>Could this be just a case of the medical community not accepting a new technique

You honestly think neurologists enjoy going to parents of toddlers and telling them their child may never lead a normal life again? If this were a legitimate treatment most neurologists would jump on it.

The fact is there is -zero- chance that oxygen therapy months after the accident had any effect. Oxygen doesn't magically make neurons regenerate. Neurons are energy hungry and die within hours under the absolute best of circumstances.

This story is nothing new. The pool was very cold, that's why the kid made a "miraculous" recovery. Cooling the brain massively reduces neuron losses. This has been known for decades now and contrary to your supposition the medical community has adopted it where the evidence proves it is helpful - in some cases of suspected brain damage due to oxygen deprivation they will force the person's body temperature down and slowly re-warm while introducing oxygen. This has to be done carefully because re-introducing oxygen too quickly after a certain amount of time can induce apoptosis and make the damage worse.

Almost all of my team has individual subscriptions to sharelatex because we felt it was better from a books perspective to show there is more individual interest in an open source solution than corporate interest. We specifically chose sharelatex instead of overleaf so we could host our own instance. We've largely moved away from using sharelatex but still keep our subscriptions active as a form of support for continued development.

I hope what you say is true about the commitment to open source.

Spaniard here; this is absolutely not true. 3 hour lunch breaks it's a myth. May be shops in small towns and villages.

One hour break for lunch is the norm. May be two, but it's not very common.

There is an exception here: in summertime, a lot of companies reduce the working hours from 8 to 7 hours. They start at 8am and leave at 3pm. The sum of these hours must be distributed along the rest of the days of the year. So you work 7 hours in summer, and 8 and half the rest of the year. This summertime schedule comes from the days when Air conditioning systems did not exist, and literally working in Spain in the afternoon is impossible.

It's really funny to read about Spanish topics from a poorly informed journalist...

> Plus, it's true that you end up storing other sensible things that are not passwords, such as API or recovery keys, because it's acts like a vault.

I think this is one aspect that gets often overlooked. Keepass especially is pretty flexible for storing all sorts of small things that you feel like needing extra security and want to carry with you. Any entry in Keepass can have arbitrary key-value pairs in addition to the common fields, and if that is not enough you can also embed/attach files into the entry. For Windows especially Keepass also can store ssh-keys and function as half-decent ssh-agent.
As other commenters have mentioned, the demand here is almost all due to the desire for smoother interoperation with C code. What's gone unsaid so far is that, despite still requiring the `unsafe` keyword for many operations, this feature helps make Rust code more safe when calling into C, because it simplifies the interface and eliminates the need for hacked-up handwritten workarounds. IOW, a little bit of standardized unsafety to replace a larger amount of bespoke unsafety.

Stress does crazy things to people. I have no desire to drag my wife through hell. I love her and want a good life for her. I don't she would leave me if I lost all my income but with that said. The amount of stress it would put on her to go through what you are talking about is not worth any amount of money.
In pure logic, credentials don't matter. However we're discussing something that is not pure logic (i.e. we are relying on the author's expertise and insight, and the publication to accurately represent that), so credibility is certainly relevant.

I like many of quanta's articles on mathematicians and scientists, and I appreciate their contributions to science journalism. I would like to add one aspect that I think this article downplays, but which is understandable to a large audience.

Kaisa and Maksym study multiplicative functions, i.e. functions which satisfy f(ab) = f(a)f(b) if a and b are relatively prime. A big part in Kaisa and Maksym's fundamental technique boils down to understanding completely the behavior of f on small primes, and giving somewhat loose bounds on the rest. Central to their success is their ability to make quantitative the intuitive statement that "most numbers have lots of small primes as factors". This required a few new ideas, but the nugget is quite simple, I think.

Up to a number x, there are approximately a = x/(log_2(x)) prime numbers. To a first approximation, we can assume that each of these numbers has b = log_2(x) bits. So to store all the prime numbers from 1 to x you need about a*b bits, or just 'x'.

So to implement this approach you would need to store and search a space that grows linearly with the size of the largest number you expect to encounter. However, this is unnecessary because we have faster ways of telling a number is prime other than storing all the prime numbers up to that point.

Speaking as an Ethereum core developer here - I see a lot of misdirected criticism and misunderstandings of Ethereum and the platform in the wider tech community. That said, your criticisms here are absolutely spot on; these are definite issues with Solidity as a smart contract programming language.

The only small correction I would make concerns this:

> Functions can mutate state by default. Both are overridable by explicit specifiers, much like C++ "const", but you have to remember to do so. Even then, the current implementation doesn't enforce this for functions.

When interacting with Ethereum you can do two things: send a transaction, or call a function against your local copy of the blockchain. The former is mutating, costs ether (in gas fees) and requires the transaction to be included in a block. The latter is entirely local, cost-free, and any mutations to state are ignored.

The 'constant' modifier in Solidity serves only to tag the resulting ABI of a function so that calls to it from common interfaces default to local calls instead of sending transactions. It's not intended to enforce that calls to that contract are read-only, only to indicate to callers that it should be called locally instead of creating a transaction for it.
This sounds like pseudo-scientific garbage bordering on racism, so citation needed.

For almost any statistic you care to break down by gender or ethnicity there is greater variation within the group than between groups. By way of example, there is a greater variation of intelligence within men as a group than between men and women. That makes any statements about the intelligence of men vs women almost completely useless garbage. It certainly says nothing about individuals.
Agree, and with all those benefits that come from a functional family, so too do dysfunctional fraternities suffer in the same way dysfunctional families do.
Completely agreed. I do recommend playing with it (in like a repl or some other place) to see if you can possibly improve the algorithm, but have specific metrics for what an improvement would be.

I'm reminded of a section in Programming Pearls where they explore several versions of a function, each time improving it. Too often I'm impatient and want the final solution first.

If money laundering is illegal, and the owner of a BTC address sends money to a mixer, it's pretty easy for law enforcement to identify the person involved in money laundering.

If a person isn't linked to KYC in any way and the coins are anonyously owned, then it's a bit harder, but as BTC becomes more mainstream it becomes increasingly difficult to prevent most transactions from touching KYC-regulated accounts.

As a borderline anarchist I'm not arguing this is a great thing, but it nonetheless offers a much more efficient path to enforcing money laundering laws.

FWIW I suspect some are compromised. Also, mixing adds cost, and so even if money laundering happens but is heavily taxed by this additional cost there is some utility to the blockchain based system.
