In FODDER's case, he streams a webcam pointed at his monitor.

The fact that German spying stories were 'leaked' from one paper to another is irrelevant

It is. Snowden simply disclosed a large number of documents, many of them containing information about mass surveillance (including mass foreign surveillance, which is still important) and domestic surveillance.

It's not his fault certain newspapers tried to clickbait with certain topics.

He also leaked info on Brazilian spying programs

No, he didn't. All of the information came from the documents and were disclosed by the media. Snowden has not disclosed anything.

and offered help to Brazil in countering US intelligence in exchange for asylum.

No, he didn't. That's FUD.

Yes. If you notice the first revelations published by the Guardian were about the domestic phone metadata program, and the PRISM program involving domestic companies with direct back door access.

The documents also revealed programs like Optic Eye, which hacked Skype to record snapshots from video chat and could be accessed by the Five Eyes without a warrant.

If you investigate you will notice that:

  1. The middle east story was not part of the Snowden docs. It was leaked through another source.
  2. The Germany spying stories were published by a Die Spiegel (probably misspelt it) who obtained the Snowden docs indirectly and without consent of Snowden (Glenn suspects WSJ correspondents were responsible for leaking it)
  3. Many recent NSA relevations, including the continued spying on Germany and the classification of readers of the Linux Journal as extremists were events after 2013,not attributed to Snowden, and could not be attributed to Snowden due to the date. This is evidence of a second (or third) leaker

Finally, as Edward Snowden was a contractor he was not covered by the whistle blowing act.

Based on this evidence, I consider the NSA disclosures to be hugely deserving. It has indeed caused damage to the NSA and US companies, but that's because you deserve it.

Ps: I'm Swedish.

That's not all of what NSA does. Few people have objections with foreign intelligence, but many has a problem with the NSA spying on Americans for the DEA through parallel reconstruction.

Most hacks claim to have 'ring0' cheats, but it's simply marketing BS.

If you don't have to select it in your BIOS, it's not ring0.

AA was detected every 1-2 months before ring0. After actual ring0, no detection yet, 7 months and counting.

RH was detected the first few banwaves before ring0. After actual ring0, no detection yet, 1 year and 2 months and counting.

ring0 when done right is undetectable. The hard part is knowing if a hack actually has ring0, or just advertises it as such. If you're not paying $50 a month for your hacks (like AA and RH), it's probably not ring0.

I use AA and it's been undetected for more than 7 months - right after ring0 was introduced.

They have kernel ring 0 protection which actually patches the NT kernel to hide all traces of the injection. The only way VAC can detect that is through a bug in their kernel cloaking, because you cannot go higher level than ring0.

To give you an idea of how deep ring0 is, when I boot I choose between the original Windows 7, and the AA-patched Windows 7.

Seriously, the cat is out of the bag. Undetectable hacks are here.

I manage large x86/x64 server farms. Having a hypervisior manage multiple virtual machines will have a noticeable performance impact in the range of 3-5%. This is unavoidable - any level beyond bare metal involves performance penalties.

Your missing the point - the hypervisior manages two virtual machines and that has a small (generally about 3-5% for x86) performance penalty.

It is clear that Microsoft designed the Xbox One as a multimedia centre first, gaming console second. This is also apparent with the original announcement, until they realised gamers want to play games.

No.

Smaller blocks = Higher competition for transaction fees.

Imagine a block can only stuff 500 transactions in. OK.

Imagine if a block now can stuff 50000 transactions in. How much do you think TX fees will be? You'd be lucky to get 10 satoshis.

That's because the other cryptocurrencies are incredibly fragile. You are forgetting something: everything can be manipulated, the miner is in ultimate control.

The miner can choose any fee policy and relay any valid transaction. So it can simply send the same coins 100,000 times in a block, in 100k different transactions and you will have a few billion coins moved for your "algorithm".

Miners are not mostly irrelevant. If 99% of miners are on the other side and oppose the change, just 1.01% of miners are needed start double attacking the other fork and make it unsuitable for usage.

Practically speaking, businesses will be heavily reluctant (to say the very least) to switch to a fork if it cannot be assured the vast majority of miners also agree with the fork and will switch their hashing power over.

No no no no, it's not about running a full node. It is about block orphan rates.

Larger blocks = increased propagation latency = higher orphan rates.

The pool that mines the block does suffer from the higher orphan rates, as it doesn't need to verify / process / transmit it's own blocks before working on it (it already does so).

Currently, pools like BTC Guild and GHash have a <1% boost in the efficiency due to lack of local orphaning. If the block size is increased, this can easily get into a more significant amount, forcing miners to use large pools or lose out on revenue.

What is the leading theory that explains the speed of light? by thewormsterror in askscience

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes. The speed of something massless is a fundamental parameter of the universe. It cannot be infinity or zero, as there will be no time in spacetime in that case.

It's just as fundamental (as we understand so far) like asking why the universe has 4 dimensions (3 dimensions being space). Why doesn't our universe have 3 dimensions (2D panel with time?) Why not 2 dimensions? Why not 5 dimensions?

Why are there six types of quarks? Why aren't there 7 types of quarks?

We can't really answer.

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There's no precise particular reason. However, light takes 8 minutes to reach us from the sun, not because there is any significance in 8 minutes, but our completely arbitrary definition of minutes based roughly upon the rotation of a single plant across the sun in the universe is a certain unit results in the figure 8.

If you're asking why c is c, a good explanation of it might be space-time. As you start moving through the universe, you are going more in the 3 dimensions of x, y, and z, and going less in the dimension of time. The maximum speed you can travel in the 4 dimensions of the universe must be some finite number, or there won't be time. And that maximum speed is 1 - c.
