Soft doesn't mean it's still Bitcoin. This word doesn't grasp the true difference between these fork kinds. What is it? Softfok is a coercive change. You can't oppose it unless you make some counter-hardfork (this is what happened in Bitcoin Cash). Softfork is a sneaky change that non upgraded nodes don't notice. Meanwhile, hardfork (especially with replay protection) leaves everyone the freedom of accepting it or not and make it obvious to nodes that it happened.

These are technical terms that were fine when used technically by technical people who understand them. But they are kind of loaded what can be used to trick nontechnical people into believing that 'hard' means 'big' and 'soft' means 'small'. And 'big' means 'abandonment of true bitcoin' while 'soft' means 'still following the true bitcoin'.

Easy thought experiments can prove these is not the case. Let's think of some possible changes that can be made as softforks and are clearly a violation of the original idea:

- a requirement that every transaction has an additional output for tax collection

- a requirement that every transaction contains KYC/AML tag.
- addresses blacklist

- decreasing the max block size to 10 kB

- lowering the block reward to 0 from tomorrow, miners get only tx fees (it is possible because the protocol defined the max block reward rather than exact block reward)

- adding a second PoW algo (it can be put in coinbase)

- a requirement for coinbase to contain a specific Quran verse

Wow, Chrome is able to run the Shader on my Intel integrated graphics on Wayland in Ubuntu 17.10

Colo(u)r me impressed.

I'm getting 0.1 versus 125 for WebAsm versus ASM.js/JS of ~210 – kind of crazy that Chrome can run plain JS as fast as ASM.js (or is it?)

Firefox (57) can't run Shader unless there's some under the hood option I have to turn on …

Moms, eventhough all the facts suggest otherwise, assume men abuse children more often than women (even though its the opposite).

That is unrelated, the things contested to Luxemburg is that there was a special agreement in place for Amazon, which is forbidden by EU regulations.

The thing contested from the Italian tax office is actual tax evasion.

Edit: to clarify, I mean that Luxemburg can have had illicit behaviour independently from Amazon acting legally in Italy (which in theory they did since 2015).

> Regulatory compliance (especially FCC common-carrier compliance) is an added cost of doing business which absolutely could be enough to keep a business from starting up.

Have you calculated how much does that really cost? I'd say it's several orders of magnitude lower[0] than the consequence of other regulations that are the real cause there are no more ISPs.

Leaf battery is 30kWh and even the smallest Teslas are double that (60kWh), most are triple (90kWh until recently was the largest).

Assuming they can all draw the same current it makes sense that teslas are lingering for 2-3 times longer.

The new 40kWh Leaf 2.0 offers similar range to the 60kWh Tesla, for comparison. Presumably this is due to weight etc.
What is the future of blogging?
I felt very sad that the FCC killed Net neutrality. I run a blog. Most of my visitors are from U.S. I am pretty sure my ad revenue is going to be very low in future. Is there any precautions should I take? Is blogging career over? Please, serious replies only.
I was thinking the same thing. If they can then this doesn't seem to as big of a deal as I originally thought.

They can enforce NN which will ensure that entrepreneurship on the internet flourishes in those states, which will encourage more entrepreneurial Americans to move there, which will make them more prosperous.
Slight aside but I tend to use POST to create a new "search results document" and the GET that document to see the actual results.
As someone who loves his female cousins (I call them sisters) and their daughters and as someone who treats his wife as an equal partner (my philosophy: "Man and woman are two wings of the same bird.") I am all for both sexes being protected from any kind of harassment. Yes, and the media must talk about it (especially, when children and minors are harmed).

BUT...

As an outsider to the USA (I live in Europe), I cannot believe what I see in the US media.

Basically, all you can read about is three topics (in no particular order):

(1) Trump is guilty for EVERYTHING

(2) Russia is guilty for EVERYTHING

(3) Sexual harassment

It looks (off the top of my head):

- as if the USA is not fighting numerous wars

- as if the US troops are not in almost every country on the globe

- as if the federal debt is now not over 20.000 billion

- as if military budget is now not almost 700 billion

- as if bridges are not falling and as if infrastructure is not crumbling

- as if the whole society is not in all kinds of (deep) debt

- as if there is no lead and mercury in tap water in numerous municipalities

- as if many cities and municipalities are not bankrupt

- as if banks and other financial institutions are not ripping the US society

- as if corporations are not ripping the US society (latest rip: net neutrality)

- as if there is not less freedoms (of the press, of the expression, of movement [TSA])

- as if everyone has a medical insurance

- as if everyone has access to free college education

- as if there are no race riots

- as if there are no tent cities

- as if, as if, as if...

Can someone from the USA explain this to me:

- Is there critical mass concerned with the latter stuff or is almost everyone concerned with Trump, Russia and sexual harassment?

- If the latter stuff is of more concern for the people, why do the elected representatives (who get elected and re-elected by their constituents) not broach about it?

Thank you.
It's vulnerable to side-channel attacks, like a lot of trusted hardware. The challenge with trusted hardware is you have a much stronger threat model than a lot of previous work on side-channel attacks, in that instead of having to protect against remote or local unprivileged software attacks, you now have to guard against a local privileged attacker (e.g. a malicious OS or hypervisor), or potentially even someone with physical access. Having said that it is possible to design software in such a way as to be resistant to many side-channel attacks (albeit with a lot of effort and a performance hit) and I imagine future generations of SGX could add hardware protection against the most egregious channels. Of course if you have enough money/time it will always be possible, the question is whether an SGX based blockchain can be designed in such a way as to make it not worth the effort.

Even literally asking "can I kiss you" doesn't have to kill the mood. For instance you can whisper it in your love interest's ear rather than bellow it from across the room.

I admit that I have rarely verbally asked, but I think I will do so the next time I have the opportunity to kiss someone outside of my long term relationship.

That said, I think you can ask nonverbally as well.

Things probably have to get worse before they get better. People have been able to ignore the issue for too long. Now the suffering is spreading a tiny bit and those who would rather not confront the agony of others are being forced to.

It’s not identical but this sounds like direct competition. I’ve read other quotes from Jim Walmsley about the mental competition in an ultramarathon.

> “You shouldn’t let others bully you on the course and make you do something you aren’t comfortable with, like going too fast or too slow,” he said.
>
> “You need to find your pace and, if you can, try to bully one of the other big names into going your pace and not their pace.”

Seems unnecessarily adversarial of you. I think Moxie has justified his standpoint relatively convincingly, even if you may not agree with it.

And to some degree, the success of Signal, or Signal's protocol as implemented widely used services in WhatsApp, supports his approach. If cypherpunk-purists had their way, encryption would still only be a thing exclusively used by a slim minority of nerds who are capable of managing PGP and all the complications that come with its fragile nature.
Serious reply? Here you go: Wait for the things to come.

Reason: Nobody can predict the future. Why are you relating your ad revenue with Net neutrality and are "pretty sure" about the outcome? Are you afraid ISPs will block your site in particular? Else, you could always move your blog to a bigger (non-throttled) network or other host.
>>I think it is easy for nearly all of us to agree the most likely cause of your own issues is operator error.

Because there is no "booo" button. Every post in medium just have Likes or none, you can like or comment just that, making a critical comment is to much for most of the users that just want to say "I disagree"

If medium has some kind of down vote, it will regulate itself a lot more, and users that disagree will not have to go to make a comment and expose themselves being critical.

I do have some entrepreneurial spirit, and I'm working on my own project at the moment.

But something that I am doing on the side for a while now that pays 5x more every month than I used to make at my web development job, is crypto mining and lending.

I have been searching for highly reputable and transparent companies for a while before I got on board.

I then found and am currently mining with Lifestyle Galaxy, and lending trading with USI Tech.

Yes, it takes some money to start off with, but my initial capital has already been paid back and every day's payouts are pure profit. These companies also allow building networks as to grow your daily income even further. I'm making around $250 per day so far.

If you'd like more information, don't hesitate to email ( ninjavis@gmail.com ) me and I'll send you some more information on how easy it is to get up and running etc.

I don't agree that the situation is all that different. Early grocery stores represented a significant loss of control from growing your own. Early supermarkets represented a significant loss of control from the personal, local service of the grocery store. Early automobiles represented a loss of control from having horses in your own stable. And yes, all of those losses were to ever more distant and powerful commercial entities.

But they also brought significant benefits (things got a lot cheaper, especially in terms of time and effort), and it took a while for the loss-of-control/benefit balance to get worked out, but today nobody is seriously arguing that we're serfs because we write software for cash and then spend some of that on food and cars and gas (and a myriad of other things that we probably don't 'control' as such) instead of working the land.

Doesn't Haskell STM limit you to a certain non-distributed architecture?

At least in the Clojure world, STM is not used that much (despite praise) since it's not a good fit for horizontally scalable web servers.
Meh, all replaceable too. Pure survivorship bias.
So basically the same as type safety through constructor constraints and instanceof... Just a bit cleaner (maybe)

If you could extend primitives in Typescript, you'd have "amount extends Number" and put the necessary constraints in the constructor and your operator overloads. Maybe some or all of it could be translated to runtime checks in javascript.
Isn't most "fast path" code in a GCd language written like this?

I've jumped through similar hoops in Go, and even C++ to avoid allocation or GC.

The fact that a dynamic language like JavaScript can compile and execute as fast as it does is nothing short of incredible! Even if it's not idiomatic, it's still far from "unreadable".
We recently tried a take home assignment between the phone interview and in person interview for our latest round of interns.

We judged the take home to be less than 1 hour and removed the “white boarding code” portion of the in person. The goal was to remove the nervous factor when whiteboarding code and allowing candidates to write code in a format, language, ide that they are comfortable in. We then discussed their code during the interview.

We think this lead to shorter in person interview durations and a less stressful experience for the candidates.

We’re going to try this for a few cycles of internships and see what happens.

I agree though about take home work before the first interviews.
No, victim blaming is holding the victim at least partially responsible for the abuse, which is exactly what the comment does.
We developers need to understand there are no one-size fits all solutions. No protocol is optimal for all use-cases. Design is always a question of trade offs. Architectures are means to an end.

The OP's story is a bit weird, because it seems they had a system which worked very well with XML-RPC, but they changed it to REST for no apparent reason except that "REST is the future". Regardless of the merits of REST vs RPC, such a change will require a major redesign of the system. The resource-oriented world view of REST is very different from the procedure-call oriented XML-RPC. You really need to clarify what benefit you hope to achieve before attempting such a redesign.

The problem with the article is it doesn't really consider the use cases where REST is appropriate and when it is not. Rather it blames anything on the protocol itself which is considered "good or "bad" completely disconnected from use cases.

In spite of your condescension, I don't think you understand what a 51% attack is. You are confusing agreement on hard-forks with POW consensus in your defense of why Bitcoin is not vulnerable to a state mandated 51% attack from China.

Satoshi's brilliant solution to the Byzantine generals problem of consensus is proof of work, not "nodes decide what code to run" precisely because nodes are vulnerable to sybil attacks.

-How would these nodes know that the 51% attack history is bad?

-A proof of work change is a hard fork, and these take months to deploy properly according to core.
I went straight to the spec personally; it’s quite readable and shorter than I expected.

The negativity here about Literary fiction is interesting. A lot of people implying that readers don't enjoy it or that it's elitist or a status symbol etc...

I think it's important to accept that there is a group of people - perhaps small - that love reading literary fiction. It's not reasonable to assume bad faith, just because you can't see the merit in something. There maybe people that use it as a means of identifying with a group and not out of genuine passion or interest - but that is true of every group. You always have people who attach themselves in this way: programming and tech world are a classic case.

Anyway just because something seems esoteric does not mean the person iis not enjoying it. We all have radically different needs, experiences and interests. And it's OK. Anyone who thinks that because they read literary fiction they are superior in some way is foolish certainly. On the other hand they may quite reasonably say that they consider one form of fiction to be aesthetically superior: that is the nature of aesthetics - we all get our say.
I don't think you have any rational reason for fear. It's nonsense to think that your blog is going to be a victim of net neutrality. It's a blog! It isn't like you're trying to run a Netflix-style service that depends on sustained high bandwidth transactions.

While there are legitimate complaints about net neutrality, it's pretty clear that there are huge amounts of FUD going around. The ones that might ought to be concerned would be Spotify-type startups or other businesses that depend on high data rates.
