To be fair, the US ban on Nvidia chip exports to China began under the Biden administration in 2022. By the time Trump took office, it was already too late.
In Korea, shame often serves as the primary motivator behind high-profile suicides. It's rooted in the cultural concept of "chemyeon (체면)", which imposes immense pressure to maintain a dignified public image.
Re:SCIM: Ncurses based, Vim-like spreadsheet on Thursday July 04, 2024 @03:59PM (#40877615)
Pretty cool! It's kinda amusing that we've gone from TUI (VisiCalc/Lotus 1-2-3) to GUI (Excel), and back to TUI though.
Not at all. The shares in a C-corp are securities because they will definitely pass the Howey Test. (I believe the Howey Test is extremely outdated and needs to be revamped, but that's a different topic.) It is unclear whether XRP tokens themselves pass the Howey test.
Re:Paul Le Roux is Satoshi? on Tuesday December 13, 2022 @05:41PM (#33977219)
I would believe it if the signature came from one of Satoshi's addresses, but this is not it.
Re:Paul Le Roux is Satoshi? on Tuesday December 13, 2022 @05:08PM (#33976706)
1. The signature was created using a private key that corresponds to the address "1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3".

2. 1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3 is Hal Finney's (Not Satoshi's) address.

3. Hal Finney passed away in 2014.

4. Some coins that belonged to that address were spent in 2017. [1]

It appears that someone else (definitely not Hal) has the private key to that address.

Re:Discord Switching to React Native for Android App on Monday August 01, 2022 @09:04PM (#32314080)
I know that. I am saying that if the app is mostly webviews anyway instead of building the views natively, there would not be much difference between being a fully native app with WebViews or being an RN app with <WebView> components.
Re:Discord Switching to React Native for Android App on Monday August 01, 2022 @04:23PM (#32311567)
I thought Discord is mostly webview-powered, is it not? If so, this change will make very little difference to the user.
Re:Show HN: Cipher – Mobile Ethereum Web3 DApp Browser on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @06:45PM (#16066620)
It's mostly React Native for the UI, but there's a lot of native code for crypto/secure enclave operations.
Re:Show HN: Cipher – Mobile Ethereum Web3 DApp Browser on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @06:42PM (#16066599)
The app uses Infura, just like MetaMask, but future version will allow you to specify your own RPC. Geth/Parity light clients are not quite usable on mobile yet, but they are improving rapidly, so hopefully in the future.
Re:Show HN: Cipher – Mobile Ethereum Web3 DApp Browser on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @04:52PM (#16065590)
That is correct! Thanks for explaining!
Re:Show HN: Cipher – Mobile Ethereum Web3 DApp Browser on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @04:21PM (#16065291)
If that's really what I wanted, there are many much easier ways than making a full app, such as writing a lame whitepaper and doing a scam ICO. You will see a lot of open-source code from Cipher soon, hopefully that puts your mind at ease.
Re:Show HN: Cipher – Mobile Ethereum Web3 DApp Browser on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @02:59PM (#16064485)
Yes, use the same recovery phrase. I wouldn't recommend making transactions simultaneously on multiple devices though.
Re:Show HN: Cipher – Mobile Ethereum Web3 DApp Browser on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @02:45PM (#16064373)
You can tap on skip button in the corner but do copy it down as soon as you are able (it can be viewed again in settings screen).

Cipher uses features like the Secure Enclave chip to make things more secure, but obviously the best practice is to treat it as a hot spending wallet and use a hardware wallet to store large amounts.

Re:Show HN: Cipher – Mobile Ethereum Web3 DApp Browser on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @02:42PM (#16064347)
Your feedback is legit. Unfortunately the app has to initially cater to the early adopters of Ethereum, but making Ethereum and Dapps approachable is the #1 goal of this project. I will be spending a lot of time on further simplifying the UI/UX of the app and the what you see on the website. If anyone wants to help, please let me know.
Re:Show HN: Cipher – Mobile Ethereum Web3 DApp Browser on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @02:36PM (#16064287)
Thanks! It should be available on every store except China (Apple didn't allow). Search for "Cipher Ethereum".
Re:Show HN: Cipher – Mobile Ethereum Web3 DApp Browser on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @02:03PM (#16063966)
Status is still unreleased and supports testnet only whereas Cipher is available on both iOS and Android stores and supports Ethereum Mainnet. Cipher is also primarily a Dapp Browser before anything else, and we try to be compatible with as many Web 3 Dapps as possible and implement the latest enhancements to Web 3 API as quickly as possible. (e.g. https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/pull/712 - eth_signTypedData)

I gotta say Status is a very cool project though (and really well-funded too and I own some SNT tokens as well) and I really appreciate all the work they are doing with Whisper protocol.

Re:Show HN: Cipher – Mobile Ethereum Web3 DApp Browser on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @01:42PM (#16063732)
Now that it is available on both iOS and Android app stores, we will be open-sourcing a lot of code in the coming weeks - this is one of them: http://github.com/petejkim/wallet.ts
A similar bug (not as serious) is happening on macOS: https://robservatory.com/month-13-is-out-of-bounds/
