No, you had a hallucination. It happens, quite regularly and can originate in any part of the brain and have pretty much any manifestation you can imagine. In tandem with your hallucination, you encountered a coincidence. Weird, I agree, but frankly there are better explanations than time travel.
This is standard operating procedure for certain corporate types, most commonly on travel to the US and China. As long as you keep your hard drive image relatively small it's not that burdensome compared to the alternatives.
Bitcoin is just a piece of digital property, no different from an MP3 you've bought. The only difference is it is unique, fungible, and transferable. With no intrinsic value, it is only worth what others in the marketplace will trade it for at the margin.
The point is not so much that this is a practical attack that oen should implement countermeasures against. The point is that an ideal cryptography system should be robust against such attacks (known plaintext, timing, etc) even in circumstances unlikely to arise in practice. Furthermore, other attacks may build on top of this.
We are seeing a couple of trends. One is that the 20th century arc where music made you unspeakable rich - Beatles, Stones, etc - is coming to an end. The future is Amanda Palmer type artists, on the road, crowdfunding records and communicating with fans, not just talking at them.
The other is the democratisation of music-making. There are more and more people making music, good, bad and indifferent, learning from Youtube, over Skype, everything else. Look at the number of guitars Yamaha pumps out, never mind everything else. Probably half of all those are going into the hands of beginners. I could make a living off my own instrument through teaching and performing but I prefer to keep something I lvoe as a hobby.
Are bagpipes even compatible with digital music?;)
We've embraced digital recording just as much as anyone else, though the culture of perfection in the piping community tends to mean that we get less benefit from it. And yes, you can buy an electronic bagpipe. Ugh.
Depends. Martyn Bennet didn't play or sing a single note that went into GRIT, yet the entire record is him. And he had the musical skills to do so if he chose.
I don't think governments really have much problem with it in general. Ultimately, a bitcoin is just a little piece of digital property, like an MP3 file or an original.jpg. Sure, it has some interesting properties, with respect to verification and copying, but other than that it's just a bit fo property. The only issue is their use for moving large amounts of value anonymously, sameas they are concerned about suitcases full of dollars.
For what it's worth, I'd barely heard of her. So less of the "follower", please. So in short, you don't dispute her version of events? And you think that the massively negative community response was both appropriate and deserved? As for the blog piece, your response completely misses the point of the piece. Yes, men make their own choices. Women don't know what choice you'll make and would be stupid to trust you. Depending on who you believe something between one in three and one in six women experience sexual assault. When you go to the fucking toilet in public, do you subconsciously plan a strategy to not get raped while doing so? As for substituting black people, the piece would still work, though the numbers would not stack up, and the difference is that women are not statistically substantially more likely than non-women to be poor and criminal.
Yeah dude, the guy followed her into a lift at 4am and invited her back to her room for coffee after she had announced she was going to bed, it being 4am and all in a foreign country and that. I don't know if you're at all familiar with the fact women get raped quite a lot, but they do, so being in an enclosed space with a stranger might make a woman a bit uncomfortable. So she mentioned it, in passing, as an example of what not to do. Then an angry horde took exception to the idea that their attention might not be welcome, any time, any place. And you're still bitching about it a *year* later?
Who knows. It's not an unreasonable argument that the design of programming languages might ape the power structure of the society from which it springs. If that's true, then feminist theory provides a framework to unpick those assumptions and explore new areas of design. Doesn't sound so bad, does it?
Dude, it's not a "negotiation". It's a demand for equality. Yeah, that requires change. Grow the hell up and deal with it. Also, don't cry about data when you don't cite a single specific example, instead spouting off generalities.

Tell me about it. Every time an article touching on finance or economics comes up, my heart just sinks...

And this, boys and girls, is why we have SCIENCE.
Attacks never get worse. They may get better. And the whole point of cryptography is to be robust under the most adverse conditions.
Begorrah, to be sure now, is that a fact?
The guy is not talking about cryptography. He's talking about basic economics.
Apologies, forgot to actually hyperlink...
Yep, except it's total bullshit.
A privet is a flowering plant in the genus Ligustrum. Commonly cultivated into a hedge (a boundary formed of constrained silvacious plants).

Mostly my box is labelled "Goe awaye".
That makes sense. A hedge is not really good evidence for anything, except possibly gardening.

Because "other bad thing" is not a reason to not tackle "first bad thing".
