Following the scheduled hard fork on May 15, Bitcoin Cash experienced a series of seemingly related problems, which ultimately resulted in a 2-block reorganization. Shortly after the hard fork, an attacker exploited a bug in Bitcoin ABC (which could have been exploited even before the hard fork) by sending transactions that fulfilled the requirements of a valid transaction but failed the consensus checks. This resulted in miners producing blocks that were nearly empty.Read More HereAll credits to the author.

The city of Baltimore is under attack, but not by someone armed with guns or bombs.Two weeks ago, cybercriminals used ransomware known as RobinHood to seize control of about 10,000 of the city’s computers, saying they won’t relinquish access unless Baltimore hands over about $100,000 worth of bitcoin.Baltimore is refusing the meet the ransom demand.

Facebook has lifted the curtain on its robotics research.On Monday, the company published a blog post detailing three of its robotics projects. Each focuses on finding ways for robots to teach themselves from experience rather than data prepared for training purposes — a skill Facebookbelieves could have implications beyond the field of robotics.“This work will lead to more capable robots,” Facebook wrote in the post, “but more important, it will lead to AI that can learn more efficiently and better generalize to new applications.”Read more HereAll credits to the author.

A group of scientists want to declare much of the solar system to be official “space wilderness” in order to protect it from space mining. As The Guardian reports, the proposal calls for more than 85 percent of the solar system to be protected from human development.“If we don’t think about this now, we will go ahead as we always have, and in a few hundred years we will face an extreme crisis, much worse than we have on Earth now,” Martin Elvis, senior astrophysicist at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge , Massachusetts, and lead author, told The Guardian.

On March 1, a Tesla Model 3 crashed into the side of a tractor-trailer in Florida, killing the driver.But while Jeremy Beren Banner may have been behind the wheel of the Tesla, he wasn’t wholly in control of it. Based on a newly released preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), he had Autopilot engaged at the time of the crash.This marks at least the fourth time a Tesla driver has died with the car’s autonomous features enabled — adding to the mounting concerns about the system’s safety.Read more on FuturismAll credit to Futurism.
