Anybody wondered whether the real Satoshi actually had a hard drive crash or something like that, and actually lost access to his wallet and PGP key?

Then making it impossible for him to claim his bitcoins or prove that he's the real Satoshi, thus will never claim to be Satoshi?

Sometimes, the most simple yet stupid explanation can be real

which, TBH, a nightmare, because within slack you need to change "group" to be able to be present in multiple projects, or join multiple slack-irc-server...

So am I... at some point for colleagues that were telling me that my mail looked bad because text (and they weren't using fixed width font), I was sending them text converted to html by a script, so it is contained in a <pre></pre> :->

I'm not going to troll about all that, but even though I agree on the general utopia you're describing, let me quote a good friend of mine (who certainly was quoting someone else):

    It is important to have the right and possibility to be anonymous 
    in a world where that right and possibility is not needed. Because 
    as soon as they are needed, they become vital to be used.

I do want to live in a world where we will have no need for privacy, but I do not want to drop my right for privacy because of how that world works.

This why I call the world you're describing by saying: Transparency will thrive, and privacy will die. My only worry is, how far and deep will people like you go into making society rely on and expect privacy is nothing more than an utopia.

as I already own the domain, I have put together:

http://nothing.to/hide/

which redirects to the pad. Once we got a nice and readable translation, I'll put a nicer page over there. Don't hesitate to ping me on twitter @guyzmo, or IRC (freenode, zmo).

Manual english translation (draft):

please improve it, and why not make an igotnothingtohide website ;-)

sadly enough, my own mother is facebook addict, sharing everything personal on iCloud, gmail or Facebook. When I warn her about that she even gave the "got nothing to hide" argument, with the "if they got money/time to loose on me sharing pics of my cats, good for them!"... whereas she fled away from the Romanian/soviet dictatorship of Ceaușescu, having the Securitate secret police torture and deport parents and friends.

And though not that far, she's under that "65 y/o". But I won't give up repeating that argument that all that is wrong!

The hacker(news)? community did not need to wait for such a lousy webapp technology to have chat working. IRC is good enough, though a bit old. SILC is another improved version of IRC. XMPP+MUC is yet another good alternative and can serve as backend for stupid webapps.

All of them are using protocols designed for chatting and none of them use web technologies, even though you can write a JS client for each of them.

In the end, please use the right tool for the right job. If there was downvotes here, I'd definitely downvote that post.

well here's a way of detecting asteroids: http://www.atari.com/arcade/asteroids can I get the $35k? :-p

In 2006 one of my teachers, Mr Etiemble, told us about a paper he's participated in to illustrate that no matter how good the security models can be at each level of abstraction, it only needs one piece of code that uses a vertical design to make the overall layers of security models worthless…

N.B.: That article is really worth a read!

And then, as one could have expected at the time, TdR had a really strong reaction on the matter (can't find the e-mail for reference), saying that OpenBSD is anyway secure, except if you want to have "modern accelerated graphics" (or something less subjective, that's iirc)…

…and here we are eight years later, to finally have the OpenBSD guys show off they've done it. I don't know if that should bug me they needed 8 years to patch that bug that was not really one (as per Theo) or if I should be amazed by the work done to secure that incredible mess that is Xorg :-)

cheers and gg, guys!

well, if you want a re-think/re-factor of vim, you should definitely have a look at kak (https://github.com/mawww/kakoune).

It's basically trying to improve over vim, still using command/insertion modes, inverting the commands (by using movement/action instead of action/movement)… It's pretty configurable and the codebase is new.

definitely worth a try!

Well, those tech critics just need to wait for the current "social web" bubble to implode, and then we'll see people showing cardboards saying stuff like:

"will do community management for food!"

and then as the shares of Facebook, Twitter and even the almighty google drops, the tech unemployment raises in the valley and SF, engineers get evicted and then prices will lower!

They just need to stop complaining, be patient for a few years and that will happen…

…until the next tech bubble gets the valley crazy again ;-)

Not necessarily.

Only two has been discovered, but how many there really is?

Actually, Theo is a mole working for the NSA and he's throughout the code that looks clean, he has hidden loads of backdoors and weak crypto…

And because the coders and security consultants reading OpenBSD's source code spend so much time laughing at the jokes in the comments, that they just don't notice the hidden evil!

But Ssh! don't tell anyone the door is opened! :-D

That's what I keep telling my boss!

I love it:
