krisives··on Linus Torvalds: “Somebody is pushing complete garbage for unclear reasons.”
It's upsetting that the media and some of the mainstream audience see Linus as a "crank" that only exists to complain and tear people down. Examples like this show how valuable his experience is. I would NEVER ask him to water himself down knowing it would likely make his technical analysis worse.

It does have an enterprise edition!

Make sure it has machine learning please!
krisives··on A prime number whose binary representation looks like a giraffe
Isn't the largest gap for any prime sqrt(n) ?
krisives··on Bitcoin-like currency
I have actually modified Bitcoin for fun, and there are lots of tutorials on how to do it, but they do require basic knowledge of programming to expect much success.

Instead try search google for "altcoin creation service" or something similar there are many services. I have no idea how reputable they are or their history, but I have seen at least 3 different companies that do it.

krisives··on Website Glitch Let Me Overstock My Coinbase
Look at something like CoinPayments.net they will let you accept any coin and if you link to a service that does exchange/banking it can auto-liquidate your coins for you.

That's how all blacklists work.

Hashes. You have to know a hash to get content and the content.

Glad to see they are removing their adware from packages. I believe the damage is already done though and nobody will trust a binary from that place ever again.
krisives··on A letter about Google AMP
AMP is borderline MITM.
krisives··on Kodak shares up as it announces KODAKCoin cryptocurrency
Part of me wants to call this Cryptowashing, but I don't know enough about modern photography. Is Kodak a brand that professionals use to shoot? Would they patent this "integration" so that others can't easily do it in various markets?
krisives··on Facebook Dives into Home Device Market with Video Chat Product Named “Portal”
That sounds like an absurd waste of time. Anyone who wants to do most of that can already do so, just they won't have the "luxury" of Facebook monetizing it.

Does anyone know a service that does scraping of content behind login gates?
krisives··on Toapi – Let any web site provide APIs
What about scraping based on logged in users?
krisives··on TempleOS creator Terry Davis is homeless and living in a van
He needs all the compassion and exposure to legitimate people as possible. His worldview is warped by 13 year olds who think racism is edgy and fun. Posting it HERE isn't the tragedy, trust me, as there are entire armies of trolls that collaborate to torture Terry. It's messed up.
krisives··on TempleOS creator Terry Davis is homeless and living in a van
It's actually quite worse than that. Terry is kind of going through a "teenager" phase it appears.

Apparently he left his parents house and started living in his car and his family went to visit him unannounced. There was some kind of altercation (probably his family trying to physically get him back) and the authorities were called because of a disturbance and he was charged with "Battery" in Las Vegas. He plead guilty to some minor charges. During the same time he's been seen with what some are describing a hooker.

Unfortunately he also has an ongoing fascination with some famous YouTuber and predators/trolls are taking advantage of him by posing as her to get him to send naked photos =(

The Terry Davis story gets crazier every day and I have a lot of sympathy for him. It upsets me to see the some areas of the Internet exploit him for the whole "CIA" thing.

EDIT - A new development he was arrested in Arizona on the 27th of December for property damage? Get well soon, Terry.

krisives··on Intel's 49-Qubit Chip Shoots for Quantum Supremacy
I assume these are massive like D-Wave's systems? https://youtu.be/60OkanvToFI?t=392
krisives··on Azure Functions vs. AWS Lambda – Scaling Face Off
Does anyone know if any of these services provide the ability to cycle between IPs? One of the use cases for Lambda (and now Azure Functions) is in web scraping where companies get mad if you access them too many times from a single address. Lambda made it clear while they do use a lot of IPs you're not guaranteed to get distribution among them.

Seems like a long shot but I figured this is a good place to bring it up.

krisives··on CEO of porn cryptocurrency disappears with investor money
Does the original contract published include that provision? If not it would require the contract holder (developer) to modify the code.
krisives··on CEO of porn cryptocurrency disappears with investor money
I'm not surprised. Two out of five of the top coins by market capitalization right now are fake crypto-currencies. Cardano literally doesn't exist at all yet and is a white paper and Ripple to be considered a crypto-currency requires a serious stretch of the imagination. Neither are mineable. Also we are approaching $2 trillion USDT floating around.
krisives··on Breezy: Forking Bazaar
Bazaar was my first DVCS and I was a holdout against using Git for many years since I was so used to using bzr in the open source world. A few weeks ago I realized my email has been subscribed to the mailing list for 13 years now and I decided to take a look and it's a bit chaotic!
krisives··on Intel CEO’s Stock Sales May Warrant SEC Examination
Most companies would recall a product if it was unsafe, just to avoid the potential liability. However, the problem is that almost no guarantees are made in any way when you buy a product from Intel and any guarantees you think they made are immediately absolved of liability by legalese you "accepted" when you opened the packaging, etc.

Also, technically, their caches / tables still work as designed we just didn't understand that design very well.

krisives··on The Great Attention Heist
I am using uBlock Origin in Safari but it still appears. This is a smaller and more obscure site I don't expect a blacklist to be 100% effective.
