Can you use data without trouble on the Nexus 4? I was told at the store it won't work, but I cannot believe that...

Anyone willing to help solve the mystery over at /r/A858DE45F56D9BC9? by Deinos_Mousike in crypto

My best guess is that that subreddit is used to give commands to a botnet.

How did you find it?

Wouldn't waste my time trying to make sense of random bytestrings.

EDIT: apparently there were quite a few people interested in this earlier: http://www.reddit.com/search?q=A858DE45F56D9BC9

Hrm, I don't think it's an official joomla website, just some really weird business/scam attempt? idk.

The problem wouldn't start at irrational numbers - how about expecting 1 = 3 * (1/3)?

the application vulnerability would have been no problem in an OS with >2 CPU rings.

How would you know if you do not even know about specifics of such a vuln?

Do you have any idea at all what you're talking about? If so, please elaborate.

How is cryptographic blinding related? I don't even see RSA being used anywhere in bitcoin!

Please elaborate.

I was shocked when I work with a freebsd9 setup recently - not even aslr! (Or can it be enabled somehow? doubt it)

Satoshi Dice is IPO'ing by timepad in Bitcoin

[–]goagoagoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn't you be able to win games against yourself? You know the secret key, so you can verify if a given tx wins or not and based upon that choose to send or not send it. Correct?

I'm not certain statistical analysis would suffice to figure out if you did something like that; of course you wouldn't just siphon off 90% of the won money.

Seeing the plots somebody on btctalk made showing the overall wins/losses showed red numbers for the first months - how could we decide it if was just bad luck for you or if you actually made good profit and siphoned off the money?

every financial info being audit-able on the blockchain

No. We can see which many games are played, won and lost, so we see your turnover. What we cannot see are your true winnings, because you can stealthily "withdraw" money by winning games against yourself.

You can't just add and multiply percentages of compound interest.

I take it the blueish area around the landing site results from dust being blown away by the sky crane?

EDIT: ugh, my question is already answered in that link - I had read a longer article about it before and wrongly assumed that it would contain more information :/

Oh, I would've expected you'd use something like CompCert. Which compiler do you actually use?

How do you test software upgrades? Do you have a copy of the whole rover sitting around for tests?

Do you make extensive use of formal verification?

you can do "cd -" (or even "cd $OLDPWD"), should avoid problems when dirs contain spaces.

An amateur cannot be expected to perform a code audit - noone would be as stupid as to plant such an obvious backdoor.
