You really have to either have or be an expert in the specialty of security.  The site will be attacked.  It is merely a question of how and when, and you have to be able to deal with new and innovative attacks constantly, based on whatever platform you're using and things you haven't even considered.  Never mind DDoS mitigation and other things that can drive you off your hosting or wipe you out utterly.

You're still fucking bitching about that hand in a freeroll like a goddamn week ago?

Seriously, he's bitching that people checked down on a hand with no side pot and a retard all-in, when neither of them hit the flop.

Six hours has been average for me.  I've had it occur nearly instantly, though, and had it take slightly longer than 12 hours.

It is worthy of investigation, but who is in charge of it gives me pause:  the incompetent and repulsive Carmen Ortiz, who is notorious for overcharging crimes.  She is the bitch who drove Aaron Swartz to suicide.

If you have to ask that, you're not prepared to do it.

I think their reasoning on that is sound, at least to the extent that cryopreservation is assumed to be possible at all.  The kind of technology required to revive a brain and an entire body are at such a level that if you can do one, you can likely do the other, or at least it won't be much longer.  Freezing a brain, even as quickly as physically possible, is likely to cause damage that will have to be repaired at the microscopic level for so many cells in it that you'd end up with at best a drooling vegetable without doing it.  That might be okay if we cryopreserve politicians, but most people would prefer actually to be mentally functional.  That kind of cell repair is so advanced that creating a clone body, compared to it, isn't that much.

Incidentally, Freedom was genuinely awesome.  It's too bad it didn't catch on for whatever reason.  It was basically an early commercial attempt to do what TOR does now.  I guess they couldn't manage to exploit it commercially enough to make a profit.

I'd really love to see Triple Draw 2-7.

The latter, I believe.  Perhaps I was too snarky about their ridiculous beliefs, like I am about the equally silly dipshits at LessWrong.

Fuck off you stupid bastard.  You are the biggest thief on the whole site and you should seriously consider suicide.

No.  He is one of the Extropians who didn't do that annoying fucking thing of changing his name.  Because seriously, that is some pretentious and retarded shit.

(Did I ever mention I got thrown off the Extropians mailing list in the early '90s for literally no reason?  I think I pissed off that idiot Perry Metzger somehow.)

What's so awful about that?  You just have to click a link.  It's a minor nuisance, I suppose, but it's pretty easy to do, and you have hours to do it.

It rarely actually takes 12 hours.  But every withdraw is manually reviewed.  

You can be pretty sure you aren't going to have some creep steal your chips here, at least not by a sham withdrawal.

Trufax.

But if you were SwC would you want to be the proof of concept?  I don't think so.

You can't assume people will only do an attack that is economically profitable, though I think it is pretty obvious that a 2 confirm hack would be prohibitively expensive at least from a perspective of turning a profit on it.

Really good ideas are viral.  (Unfortunately, so are really bad ideas.)

So it's entirely possible Satoshi was someone who picked up these really good ideas and ran with them.  Speculating on Satoshi's identity is kind of pointless at this phase.

I'd say probably yes.  Unless the real Nick Szabo has disowned it as a complete impostor, why wouldn't it be him?  It's not a terribly common name.

Nick Szabo has denied being Satoshi Nakamoto.  He has a certain notoriety for honesty, so I would not call him a liar.

It is, however, entirely possible there is no single person who is Satoshi Nakamoto.

And an example of why these proposed regulations are unconstitutional for another reason, that is, fundamental due process.  They'd make you a lawbreaker for something over which you had no control.

Imagine a law where you'd be guilty for having cash where you had no idea what it's origin was.  Someone would make you a criminal by dropping a penny on your lawn.

Szabo is one of the seminal influences on cypherpunk thinking.  It would be no shocker if he were actually personally Satoshi, but he doesn't need to be.  His ideas speak for themselves.

He is one smart motherfucker, and you'd be well advised to take him seriously.
