This right here is like a case study in why a "Computer Science" education doesn't make one a "scientist".

The only thing here is coincidence, allegation, and innuendo: There's not the slightest hint of proof. This is shitty journalism and shitty investigative rigor. What it comes down to is a name and being smart.

Maybe he is the actual bitcoin Satoshi. But there is not one piece of positive evidence that is the case. Everything is circumstancial to the highest degree. Personally I think the standard of evidence for something this important should be higher.
Some more records:

In an exclusive two-hour interview with The Associated Press Dorian S. Nakamoto, 64, said he had never heard of Bitcoin until his son told him he had been contacted by a reporter three weeks ago.

The lies are still up on their blog:

"At no time was customer data "leaked" between accounts. This would require that a user not scrub their volume after destroying their server; in this instance data would be recoverable and should be considered not sensitive."

For a long time, if you deleted a DO virtual machine, it would not delete your data by default, so that the next customer would receive it on the block device to be recovered.

When I pointed this out to them, after it caused me a few thousand USD in credits I had to issue to my customer (as I remediated DO leaking my customer's data (through my use of the service)), they maintained "there's no leak because we give you a checkbox".

There is absolutely no circumstance, checkbox or no, in which delivering my data on disk to another customer is okay.

After I made a huge stink about it, it ended up at the top of HN, and they switched to a sane default (scrubbing disks after a user deletes a VM). It shouldn't even be an option, but there it is.

Despite all of this, though, they continued to lie about the root cause: they were careless with their customers' data and trust.

It looks like they've hired some people who aren't dicks and have since updated the blog post with sanity. Nice to see, but still: be mindful of how these people conduct themselves.

NASA must remain an American company, headquartered in America, with (SOME_NUMBER)% of its workforce living and working in America. The highest authority at NASA is its version of CEO, and something like a board of directors. Their decisions outweigh political decisions. The board of directors may not be more than 20% (some arbitrary percentage) made up of people with a non-technical background.

I'm saying that AnCaps and RMS are both ideological extremes and do not represent the vast majority of their respective movements.

But I suppose I did paint with too broad a brush. My statement about law enforcement is the equivalent of someone saying "Democrats don't believe in a totalitarian communist regime where we are all forced to have vegan diets", By and large it's true and for the sake of brevity it makes sense to say it, because those views are not a good example of what the Democratic party as a whole is actually about. This also helps some of the more naive people in this thread get a more realistic perspective on what most self identifying libertarians actually believe.

> The games take just as much time and effort to develop. ... does not make them any less valuable!

I'm not sure the amount of effort is the best way to determine something's value.

If you spent a million hours making me a house out of pizza, I'm probably still not going to move in. If you dig a thousand feet underground to bring me a normal igneous rock, I'm not going to wear it like jewelry. The price for these things, and I'd argue the value of these things, would be very low.

Part of what makes your efforts valuable is whether or not you are filling a pressing need.

If we were in a tribal society surrounded by coconut palm trees, and you start walking to faraway villages to bring back their identical coconuts, you're not bringing back something of value. You're really just wasting everyone's time. If you learn medicine, or go fetch water, that's a little more heroic.

Today we live in an era where we're surrounded by an abundance of entertainment. I could spend the rest of my life and not make a dent in Project Gutenberg. And I don't think we can safely dismiss any of those experiences as valueless. I'm reluctant to believe that every new iPhone game is a far better experience than reading anything by, say, Lewis Carroll.

Maybe falling prices isn't a symptom of an ungrateful audience or a "race to the bottom," but an honest signal from the village of humanity that we've kind of got this human need for distraction covered.

Yes. It would take a president and/or members of Congress who cared enough about having an effective space program instead of using NASA as a pork delivery truck, to make the change.

It would also be resisted at least as much by members of Congress who represent NASA's contractors, besides just its facilities (like Dana Rohrabacher, the congressman from Boeing). On the other hand, it would also naturally be supported by members of Congress representing at least some NASA centers and contractors who would clearly gain from the move.

A reform like this will also be boosted though by SpaceX as it keeps accomplishing more and more on a comparatively low budget, making forward-looking technologies readily available of its own volition (Grasshopper, Falcon Heavy, methane rocket engines that can use Mars in situ manufactured fuel, etc.), and creating more and more embarrassment for the traditional space program and its contractors (like the Senate Launch System (SLS)), and forcing everyone to ask, why can't NASA do that? Hopefully they will eventually shame Congress and the President into reforming NASA into a professionally-managed organization, i.e. reforming away their own control over it and making it more like a Federal Reserve for space exploration.

I will forever mark the name, Leah McGrath Goodman and Newsweek editorial staff in my mind as a toxic journalist and TMZ-styled publication after this event.

Granted, I don't think Leah McGrath Goodman and Newsweek did anything illegal by breaking this story. I don't think it's wrong for Goodman to attempt to contact Satoshi's relatives over the phone.

What really crossed the line for me was Leah McGrath Goodman and Newsweek's decision to post the photo of the house, with the car's plate info on it.

Why would you do this? What relavence if any did this have to the story?

Showing of the house with car license plate resulted in identifying his address really easily. Let's face it. She wouldn't have done this to Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos even though they are far more famous, rich and public. She did this to this guy only because he's reclusive and powerless.

The two stories arent mutually exclusive.

According to Newsweek the man acknowledged that he had worked on bitcoin: "I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it"

AP says the main is denying he ever worked on bitcoin.

He very well could have said both of those things.

The funny thing is, we can only categorize intelligence to the peak and adjacent possibilities of where we're at now. Go back over 100,000 years or more and it would be very hard to categorize us as extremely intelligent beings.
$330 for a wifi eink display? The server seems pretty neat though. I imagine there is a lot more complexity there than it seems at first glance.
The only thing mocks are good for IMHO is when the real code takes too long to run. Actually testing that a function is called twice is not what you're testing and this level of coupling to the supposedly encapsulated behavior of the method is ridiculous. The method is not called "callMethodInClassFooTwice()" it's called calculateInterestRate() or whatever and as long as it does that right that's all that's important.
Bullock's leg was entangled with the parachute cords, and holding on to Clooney's tether with one hand. The Bullock-Clooney system was inertially travelling away from the ISS, to which one end of the parachute lines was anchored. The tangle of parachute cords was straightening as the distance increased. Eventually, they will run out of slack, at which point there will be an impact which (in Clooney's opinion) would either cause Bullock to lose her grip on the tether (dooming Clooney) or cause the cord looped around her foot to slip free (dooming them both). Bullock is barely connected to anything, has only one hand free (at best), and is in a terrible emotional state, rendering her incapable of useful action.

Clooney throws off his tether which causes three things to happen:

1. A small amount of seperating momentum to both Clooney and Bullock, pushing Clooney further away and slowing Bullock towards the ISS.

2. Halving the force needed to stop Bullock's movement away from the ISS.

3. Freeing up Bullock's hands to improve her attachement to the parachute cord.

I have no idea if the math works out but I don't see the theoretical problem with the situation physics-wise.

The original article claims of an encounter with Satoshi with the police present that mention he handed Bitcoin off. Wouldn't it make sense for Leah to get that officer to go on public record corroborating her story? Or can officers not do that?
I know every kanji means something ("meaning something" is something kanji are made for, you know) and Satoshi (the Satoshi, I mean) never wrote his name in kanji by the way. But 中本聡 is something more "bitcoin-ish" than some 山本ヒロト, don't you think? So that name isn't really something unlikely to make up. I'd say randomly making it up is really really more likely than being the Satoshi's real name.
So Newsweek, returning to print newsstands after several years, runs with a cover story that is debunked on the internet in a matter of hours?

Libel? Slander? Where's the suit? If this guy actually is Satoshi the last thing in the world he wants is to be on a witness stand.

Opening a case against Newsweek lets them subpoena all sorts of records that they aren't entitled to with out a case, primarily because the truth is a defence to slander / libel, and if this guy loses then he's forever Satoshi.

Also it's going to be pretty difficult to prove that he suffered damages from the article.
So, next time I want to walk across town, I am just going to put a reporter's notebook in my pocket and just skip walking on the roads.

Instead I will walk across everyone's property and if the police eventually stop me, I will say I intended to interview the homeowners but changed my mind.

I will occasionally walk up to people's doors and knock on them just to be plausible but since the law cannot read my mind or intent, they have to accept I am a journalist and have free speech rights to walk across anyone's property.

Obviously this is an absurd extreme example but it follows your basic rules. And shows why they fail. You cannot just walk across town, across everyone's property. Yet do it on a small scale to harass a single person and it is okay?
I don't think they meant video interview. I read somewhere else that he went to the AP offices and they talked for two hours. So interview in the sense of reporter talking to person.

It did seem a rather short article for that amount of talking.

There are required online discussion sessions, online exams, and interactive online supplemental materials (videos, self-guided exercises, etc).

Japanese government says Bitcoin is not a currency
According to the Newsweek article this Satoshi Nakamoto:

1. Dropped all contact with the reporter when the topic of Bitcoin was brought up over email.

2. Called the cops when the reporter went to his house to ask him about Bitcoin.

3. Said to the reporter: "I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it," "It's been turned over to other people. They are in charge of it now. I no longer have any connection."

Someone here is lying, because a person who only heard of Bitcoin three weeks ago doesn't do and say those things.
At Odds: Hackers at Harvard
Why? Don't you use assertions?
If that were true, it would mean that dict should not support bool:

>>> {} + {}
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'dict' and 'dict'
>>> bool({})
False

Since I find bool(a_dict) to be very useful, and the lack of a_dict+b_dict to be reasonable (precisely because it's non-abelian!), I conclude that logic is cute, but not that relevant.

Those who think it this argument is pursuasive, should bool({}) raise an exception? Or should {1:"A"}+{1:"B"} not raise an exception and instead return ... what?

Or do I misunderstand something?
Generally, everything is legal until some government body writes and passes legislation making it illegal. It is legal because it hasn't been made illegal. If you donate money to a political candidate or party, that gets published online as well; it's actually illegal not to make that information public.

HN in a nutshell:

This was an egregious invasion of his privacy! Look, these postings from years ago on various message boards don't match his writing style -- these Amazon reviews don't match the style either -- his INS form doesn't match the timeline as close as expected -- From the streetview of his house, it doesn't look like the house of a hundred-millionaire -- this transaction made 3 years ago to buy juice in New York is off too -- I can't believe Newsweek invaded his privacy!

There was a separate post where a small business owner in New York claimed to have met the man in 2011 when he made a purchase at his store. People then started demanding the transaction ID so they could try to track down his wallet.

It was filled with claims that it's not doxxing because NewsWeek posted his address already, that Bitcoin users should have no expectation of anonymity, it could have huge ramifications to the economics of Bitcoin as a whole, etc.
Good point. The story now is whether Dorian == or != Satoshi. I think there's more evidence for != than ==.
My point was more that wealthy, powerful people often don't even have the sort of privacy being talked about, it doesn't make sense to complain that their wealth and power would protect them.
That latter's debatable but probably not the former unfortunately.
Yeah, the article covers that pretty early on. Turns out that's actually not why 1 hasn't been prime for most of human history, though.

Actually read the article to find the answer!
Then he has to suffer through the horror and agony of having someone knock on his door, and having the police escort them off his property.

I'm not sure if he'll fully recover from that kind of trauma.

It depends on what the fallout from it is, in terms of internet attention. If he's not "the real Satoshi" and he starts getting harassed because of this article, I'd say he has a pretty decent case: If the statement "is false, caused harm, and was made without adequate research", then most non-celebrity citizens have a pretty strong case.
