Too little too late.
Since arresting young males should be a goal in itself, I wonder why the stated target of 100% is never reached? Sounds like bureaucratic inefficiency and inertia ...
In simplified terms, an object is just a hashtable pointing to a parent hashtable. Now the question becomes: Is it better to embed another hashtable inside the hashtable ('has') or better to store its fields in the…
Over fifty years? The person you marry is going to change. All of this is a total non-issue in other cultures. Outside the pathological situations in the West, you can just focus on how to get ahead in your job, which…
I think that Susanne really "gets it". You could build a platform and abide by all reasonable and also silly regulations across the 200+ jurisdictions around the world, or else just like bitcoin, you could cause a…
That is difficult to say, because I am a man too. I may also not be able to decode what women from a traditional environment really think about mainstream western men. There's one thing that strikes me, though. Men…
This is how 80% of the world thinks about marriage. This is also how people in the West thought about marriage only a few decades ago. In other words, it is the normal way of thinking about marriage. There is nothing…
Take her around the world--nice and, not so nice places; then decide if you still want to get married. I think that this is the wrong approach. Anybody is suitable for marriage, on the condition that their culture says…
I do not believe that marrying the "wrong person" is fundamentally that common. The problem is rather that it could be simple and easy to divorce someone for the inevitable quirks that you do not want to learn to put…
Distributed signing is useful in other contexts too. It does not always have to be bitcoin-related ...
It has always been like that. Women have never "fallen in love" with men who are not sufficiently socially successful. There is nothing new under the sun in that respect. But then again, "socially successful" is a very…
Trust that I have implemented no back doors. Yes, you are right. This entire NSA thing is bad business for American companies. Even an erstwhile global darling such as Google suffers from this. They are now being viewed…
The NSA strategy of spying on everyone only works when most people are not aware of it. The surprise element is now gone. They can undoubtedly already see the effect of the recent scandals in a serious decrease in…
It would be enough to attack the machine holding the decrypted bitcoin key in order to steal the money. So, you still have that dreaded single point of failure problem there. The security solution consists in forcing…
Unfortunately, multisig forces you to use the blockchain. There are use cases where you don't want that. SSS, on the other hand, seems too complex to feed back through the ECDSA signing algorithm. In the link above they…
Uber is actually a good example of how existing regulations can be a formidable barrier to startups; or even any kind of innovation. You are not just free to offer a new product or service that competes with existing…
They may not have a choice. I can perfectly well see why they erect barriers and put large obstacles in front of people trying to cross their borders. The problem is rather that startups should not demand that you…
I personally think that companies should avoid asking anybody to physically come over. Working or even partnering up remotely is perfectly possible.
To some extent, you may still need to be physically present in the US/Silicon Valley in order to join in on some of the startup fun. However, it is often possible to do that without moving over. I personally only…
A method to explode a bitcoin private key with SSS into multiple secret parts and use them to collaboratively sign transactions has unfortunately not yet been discovered. What exists already, though, is something…
