> If you were born in the US or Canada or a citizen by birth, you aren't an immigrant.

Yes, may be this should be the ideal definition of a non immigrant US / Canadian, but most of the time people judge you only by color/race in those area

> Many of our ancestors were immigrants for sure. But not all of our ancestors were immigrants.

Yes, true for aboriginals

> Many of our ancestors were invaders, colonizers and settlers. Those aren't immigrants.

Yes, they did all those "cool" things by coming from Europe and "Those aren't immigrants." ?

>Saying we are all immigrants is a political statement. It tries to make us identify with the immigrants and pro-immigrant policies and has the benefit of masking/absolving our invader/colonizer/settler ancestors.

I don't have any of those intentions, in fact i dont care about them at all

> If you were born in the US and you think you are an immigrant, ask yourself "where did I immigrate from"? And that assertion becomes silly. "I was born in ohio". Does that mean I immigrated to the US from Ohio? It doesn't make sense.

This is so stupid

Sorry, but this is not good advice. Widely-used crypto implementations have had the benefit of years of analysis by dozens of high-expertise stakeholders who have a lot to lose should the crypto fail. Even that isn't always enough to catch all weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

This cowboy-programming attitude being extended to security is no small part of why we are so vulnerable as a society to attacks on our computer systems that can compromise our core infrastructure[1], our secrets[2], and our economic security[3].

[1] Think weeks-long country-wide power outages

[2] Think juicy blackmail material on anyone with their hands on levers of power. Look at the damage that North Korea's attacks did to Sony Pictures, for example.

[3] Think small-scale attacks on services that even a single major company, or many small companies, rely on.

If there was short selling that could have been blamed for the crash of 1929 it was what is known as a naked short selling. Since non-market making short selling now requires having a locate, it is impossible to sell short more shares that one can reasonably borrow.

My top 3 answers are one-liners that solve "problems" any semi-competent developer shouldn't even need stackoverflow to solve. The answers that required some effort, more code and explanations are not that "valuable" because they answer more specific problem that is not shared by many developers. I don't have a problem with that, I don't answer on SO only to accumulate points, but in my opinion it skews the incentives towards going after the low-hanging fruit. The closer it gets into "RTFM" territory the bigger the possible payoff.

EDIT: And the karma DOES matter if you want to get new opportunities via stackoverflow careers. I have landed a job recently via SO and chatted with the recruiter a bit about their experience with the platform. He told me some companies specify they want to hire from the pool of Top X% in given technology. Another thing is the response rate on SO is dramatically better than Linkedin, which doesnt surprise me: I do my best to answer every SO Careers message while I mostly ignore Linkedin recruiters.

This is only relevant to Oracle's implementation though.

Sticking to the spec is one way to be portable. Building a portability layer is another one; this is how Common Lisp grows, by taking advantage of the work of different implementations and using standardized tools (FEATURES, reader conditionals) to build a common interface. See e.g. CFFI which has become the (defacto) standard for loading C libraries (https://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/spec/cffi-sys-spec.html...).
You're not "too left wing". You're just a fucking moron.
First of all, it's not really traceable. You can sell them on LocalBitcoins, and an outside observer will never know - all you see is coins moving from A to B.

Second of all, you can mix them with other coins, which instantly crushes all hopes of traceability.

Example: Imagine you have wallets A (clean) and B (stolen) with 1 BTC each. You put them both into wallet C, and then you split it again equally into X and Y. Where is the stolen money now?

And then there are altcoin exchanges.

I would imagine they are stuck back a few decades when delivering documents on paper was standard and nothing unusual. So printed paper is a minimal acceptable format. Since part of the legal battle is to also drain the other side's resources it would make sense then to go by the absolute allowed minimum and nothing more.

If delivering documents on posted notes was allowed surely they'd be companies specializing in that.

I would check the notes to see what happened with Dole before drawing a conclusion. There is more at stake here than a judge with backing. One of the problems with Dole was tracking shares with DTC - It takes, I think, T+2 for settlement ie I sell you something today it gets updated two days later in DTC. This coupled with day trading and shorts (where btw "borrowing a share" is hypothetical) can cause a lot of headaches. So the solution is? A blockchain which tracks the share count and movement. That is the point being made in the article.

As for the other part. The whole BTC/BCH thing is like a spinoff. And yes the short sellers are on the hook if Stock A tomorrow becomes Stock A + Stock B. Can they say no, well Stock B is more than I paid for A+B combined so I am not paying? Not really because if that was the case it leaves open the door for someone saying - well stock A has appreciated more than I expected so no payout.

Now in case of forks and whether people can be on the hook for the other fork? Well, depends on how famous the fork is really. If it is as famous as BTC cash, well then that is a risk you have to take as a speculator. If not, then why was someone betting on bitcoin going down the drain after the fork? Were they not clear of the implication of the fork taking off? If not, then that's a lesson learned.

I don't think I'll write for the other primitives, I don't know them well enough to comment on them properly.

I won't add other primitives to Monocypher, that would defeat the purpose of a "one true cipher suite". One stream cipher, one authenticator, one hash, one password key derivation, one key exchange, one signature. That is enough.

When some of those primitives becomes obsolete, I'll consider writing a new, incompatible version of Monocypher. For instance, we can switch to curve448 if curve25519 isn't secure enough. I think at least a decade will pass before we come to that, though.
> I agree. I didn't deny that. Now compare how many top universities we have in the US? If the US has hundreds of top universities and Canada has a handful, how does that make canada an education superpower?

Comparing raw numbers like that makes no sense considering Canada has a population of 35 million against the U.S.'s 323 million.

> Canada became "independent" in 1983. Canada celebrated its first Canada Day in 1983. To claim canada is 150 years old is a verifiable lie.

Only if you measure the "start" of a country as the time of its declaration of independence. It makes sense for the U.S. considering its specific history, but in fact, there are very few countries in the world for which this makes sense.

A better way to look at it would be to mark the beginning of a country as the time its formal constitution was written. For Canada, that's 1867, which a major politically significant event. By comparison, the Canada Act of 1983 was a formality.

But the blockchain records all movements of bitcoin, so if I have a coin's hash, I can trace it's movement in transactions from A->C->X wallets?

A mixer or exchange is the best bet, but then you're relying on a third party. A mixer may record it's transactions with people to say which coin was given out for which coin moved in.

At least this is my understanding of how the blockchain works. I may be wrong (likely!)

This is slightly off topic, but could be related to this. Does anyone have a good way to keep programming documentation offline and searchable for all of the languages and libraries you use? I'm primarily a Python, Java, C, Assembly, and PHP person. For Assembly I can just keep a copy of the ISA book but that does not really make it searchable.

Recently I had lost internet and had work that needed to be done. I ended up having to go to a coffee shop because I knew the name of a few functions I wanted to use but I didn't remember the calling semantics. I could have just tried it until it worked but I just took the excuse to go to Dunkin Donuts, grab a coffee, and work there.

Do they plan to release their Stack Overflow Documentation files? It would be a good way to start something like this. Make an offline and searchable version of this dataset with a uniform offline and searchable version of Python, Java, etc docs.

Final approach is the most stressful two or three minutes of an otherwise unexceptional flight; there's a great deal to do, and very little time in which to do it, during a period in which the aircraft's proximity to the ground, and low available energy, make it very easy for what would otherwise be a minor mishap to instantly place everyone aboard in imminent danger of death.

I don't suppose I would call such stress "undue", since every commercial flight ideally ends with a landing. But the probability of helmet fire is directly proportional to the degree of cockpit stress, and the ILS alignment indicators are very easy to overlook. I suspect the user interface could be improved, but I'm not nearly familiar enough with the subject domain to imagine how.
While 100% confidence is impossible (because I'm Bayesian), machine checked proofs do help. It's then a matter of cost/benefit.

> You can do crypto as a side-hobby and safely put it into production.

No, you really can't, unless you stretch the definition of "side-hobby" to the point of breaking at the seams. I'd be shocked if a single person who professionally works in security or cryptography is going to agree with you in this thread. You need far more than a "little care" to assure that a new cryptographic library is safe. It's an endeavor suited to a collaborative academic or corporate environment, with robust human capital and strong oversight.

I'm willing to accept that someone can safely implement a primitive or a construction in a new library with significant time, effort and feedback from others. But that level of effort doesn't really qualify as a side-hobby, and until the implementation was formally checked by professional cryptographers I'd consider it suspect.

This is to say nothing of designing novel primitives or constructions, which I would consider as far removed from a "side-hobby" as a local 5K is to the Olympics.

However, I absolutely think people should attempt to implement their own cryptography if they're curious about it and want to learn. Just don't use it in production and assume it's unsafe. People who work in the industry don't make these claims because we think it's fun, we do it because we've all seen the consequences.

Take a look at the transaction history. If there are transactions with known drug site wallets, give them the data they are asking for. Otherwise, request they get a warrant.

If you are going to cooperate, I think that's the most reasonable way to go about it.

Bitcoin exchanges are seen as dodgy anyway and they don't have a lobby to fight for them, so showing some way of cooperation while keeping everyone's (legal) interests in mind might be a good idea.
