.. if you go hastefully through the ToS it is very easy to miss that _some_ data will be communicated to 'momma' server _anyway_, regardless of user control settings, and that they reserve the right to do basically whatever they want with it.
Their stated intentions for the collected data, should they (the company behind the addon, working with Mozilla for the time being) not be acquired, go bankrupt or 'experience corporate restructuring', is to produce a public internet map with it to show which megacorp is connected to which other megacorp- but there is no link or even a timeline for that, and they are not really clear as to what data they will make public, how, when and where.
If there aren't, and the US government is persistent enough, wouldn't they be able to effectively "lock out" everyone else from getting money out of the system by basically draining the exchanges dry?
I don't think it works that way. Usually it is not the exchange's task to convert bitcoin to fiat: the exchange is just a middleman that (optimally) guarantees that a transaction between two parties will go smoothly. This is mainly done by having an online 'balance' of bitcoin, same as having a balance on a bank account. The exchange company will allow to 'withdraw' your remainder if you wish, by sending you bitcoin to an address of your liking: but if you want money for bitcoin, this will be wired (or otherwise transfered) to your *bank* account, from the buyer, through the exchange.
So there is always money for bitcoin as long as there are buyers for it.
So if it actually separates the oxygen what about the hydrogen? That's fuel.
What it would separate, if it was real, would be the oxygen (gas) that is dissolved in water: not the oxygen atoms that are part of the water molecule. At least this is where gills get their oxygen from: from air dissolved in water.
Mentioning that as somehow relevant to a Tor hidden node being compromised leads me to believe you don't understand the topic anyway.
Nice try. Only you forgot that it was actually you who brought the cryptocurrency subject up, when you proclaimed that "you will shop at Silk Road while you wait for your download", perhaps in an attempt to be the funny guy of this hour by throwing an unspecified 'joke' in the form of general mockery against 'all things cryptoanarchy', most probably because of your personal distaste and/or fear for them.
Disgusting and repulsive manipulation of the legal and penal system, that borders on being plain corrupt. Consider the precedent and the example it sets.
I'll get right to downloading and shop on Silk Road while I wait.
You would not sound sarcastic and an ass if perhaps you knew that in the future it will not be as easy for a central authority to take down websites at a whim.
If they can't demonstrate that they can launch a crew, convey them to their destination, and provide them with some form of functional shelter then they will never get off the ground.
How so? Who's going to stop them?
I think the real issue here is screening 1058 suicidal or terminal maniacs with a death wish out of 200k suicidal or terminal maniacs with an even greater death wish, and hope that somehow out of those a useful crew will be able to run a friggin' spaceship. To Mars. And build the foundations of a colony. On Mars.
An astronaut is usually a pilot, AND a glorified lab manager, AND an engineer, AND physically superfit, AND possesses iron willpower, and his balls are probably made of some badass titanium alloy. He/she is NOT suicidal and, though risks are understood, made a brave choice and is backed by thousands of professionals on the ground. He/she is not a telephone sanitizer backed by some soap opera script writer and his CEO.
There are many, many, many things that can go wrong here: and I am not talking technicalia, I am talking about human behaviour and attitude: people become obscene, detached, depressed, sarcastic, suicidal and even aggressive in reality shows on EARTH. And the masterminds behind this endeavour are okay in sending I-am-cool-with-it-being-a-one-way-trip reality show material to Mars?
The sad part is that I am pretty sure that it is going to actually happen, and it might end up badly not because of a hardware failure or similar, but because of human moronity: this sound more like a "put some humans in an airtight tin-can on Mars, and watch them perish on TV" (or even "better", watch them kill each other)
There spawned a couple of new exchange sites in India over the past few weeks. A few that I checked look legit, demanding some sort of official government documents for user identification, making it non-trivial for scammers to jump aboard the train. It is only natural that there is a warning, and those sites already had more or less the same warning on their frontpages. The fact that this warning is on a state level is a good think for bitcoin (and for potential traders) I think.
Facebook has an option to download all your data. Do these texts turn up in these downloads as well?
You know they don't. Who you search for, your browsing habits and clicks, none of that turns up either.
I do not know what purpose this 'download all your data' option serves, but it is certainly not there to give you the option to actually download all data facebook has on you: it is something ridiculous like your name, your birthday and a couple of other useless stuff. It does not even include the messages you have sent and received.
Wikipedia says that at 13 times the size of juptiter you get something that can ignite and you get a brown dwarf.. How that is calculated is beyond me..
From hydrostatics: the more mass you build up, the higher the pressure --and the temperature-- becomes in the core, and then you reach a point where the temperature is high enough to start fusing stuff up (as per definition of 'a star'). This, for hydrogen, happens at some mass limit or other which is at around a few Jupiter masses.
It is a back-of-the-envelope calculation really, though there are a few other, more sophisticated models, around.

If you bothered to read the referenced article you'd see it starts at 11. [mutter, mutter].
No, you mixed up things: the one that starts at 11 is called DEAF.
Lightbeam data is only sent if the user chooses to do so.
This. You have just proven my point.
Go read their ToS again, but this time actually read it. You may also want to actually read my post to which you replied.
.. if you go hastefully through the ToS it is very easy to miss that _some_ data will be communicated to 'momma' server _anyway_, regardless of user control settings, and that they reserve the right to do basically whatever they want with it.

I have my doubts for them, as I do for this app.

Wow. The joke was that Silk Road was compromised and user data was gathered.
What I mistakenly thought was that the joke was on cryptocurrency --hence my reaction. Now then, I apologise for my tone.
Never go full retard.
Actually it's 'never go full retard, man'. Know your memes! I believe you are not quite ready to give up your regular job and become a comedian.
By the way, thanks for collaterally pointing out to me that I can become borderline psychotic with bitcoin if I do not keep it together.
Mentioning that as somehow relevant to a Tor hidden node being compromised leads me to believe you don't understand the topic anyway.

See how simple you are to figure out?
Disgusting and repulsive manipulation of the legal and penal system, that borders on being plain corrupt. Consider the precedent and the example it sets.
Yet another dissapointing fail for this country.
I'll get right to downloading and shop on Silk Road while I wait.
You would not sound sarcastic and an ass if perhaps you knew that in the future it will not be as easy for a central authority to take down websites at a whim.
You may want to look at what Namecoin is.
.. F*ck Yeah!
Coming again, to save the mutherf*cking day, yeah!

What's there left to discuss? If you want who is moon's owner, just check whose flag is planted on it.
Correct: the flag is pretty obvious.
Why would I want to actually run around in real life to play Minecraft?
"Why don't you have a seat over there?"
"No, thanks."

Yo mama so fat, if she was any bigger she'd start fusing hydrogen.
Yo momma SO fat, every time I am done visiting her, I have to break orbit.
I saw person-portable "heads-up displays" in Radio-Electronics magazines 15 years ago. What's different this time?
That Google will be obtaining copies of patient's data. You know, for their files.
By restricting what Joe Idiot can and cannot install means that Joe Idiot is less likely to get crap installed on his computer.
Just because Joe does not know computers, does not mean that Joe is an idiot. Or that you are smarter than he is.
The "complicated algorithm" (basis statistics using Excel and Google)
I find it really disappointing how much of the 'real science' is actually spreadsheets and hand waving.
You "fixed" it, but not the part where he was changing the wired MAC address to prevent wireles tracking.
Try wlan0.
Utter nonsense- carrying around miles of ethernet cable is the only way to be safe.
geo-locate people's devices via their MAC addresses
If you use public wireless at all, keep changing your MAC is just wise, for privacy reasons.
