Not that this necessarily applies to your situation, but for those who might otherwise be dissuaded, it is very doable to install solar panels on the ground to accommodate what requirements exist regarding the incident angle of solar radiation/absorbtion.

I actually find it surprising that your utility finds that to be a deal breaker as it would only limit your ability to generate electricity by a few percent per skewed degree.
My god. So many amateurs commenting on this.

Whoever wrote this has no idea that IOTA has been planning from the beginning to write both a C++ and a Rust implementation of the IRI, so his Java argument is already invalid.

Do you guys even know who writes the IOTA code? Do you guys even know what Proof-of-stake is?

Dear lord. Please keep selling your iotas so I can buy them real cheap.

Thanks for highlighting this, I'm going to share with all of my friends investing/thinking of investing in the crypto space. Always good to get a reminder to take everything you read with a grain of salt.

This used to be far more common in Ireland a few decades ago than it is today, though you certainly still see it. Funnily enough, the crime rate was much higher back then; it’s not a risk thing.

How would students remove the denier? Lynch mob?

I don't think your idea of "let individual groups of people angry enough to act handle it instead of authorities acting on calmly predetermined rules" scales particularly well or elegantly.
That is: in most digital artistic media, the goal of the reproduction process is to faithfully carry across the art (and engineering) that "went in" on the other side

I can't agree with this. I don't think it's right at all. Art is targeted at a broad band of senses, from aesthetic through sensory to emotional. You're hung up on the narrow band of sensory reproduction, but that isn't what's most important to actual humans.

Take an example: some electro house track that person A might have heard on a night out, where they had a really good time. They would have heard it in the middle of a crowd (dampening a significant chunk of the sound), probably overly loud, probably with the bass pumped up.

If person A later listens to that track on studio headphones focused on faithfully carrying across engineering and "art", they'll be hearing the mechanics of the music and how it was constructed, but it will be subjectively a poorer reproduction of the remembered moment and experience. They'd actually be better off listening on much lower quality headphones that had boosted bass and muddy reproduction that let different frequencies intermingle, to make sure it doesn't sound spare and separated out like high quality headphones tend to.

Another example: person B might have been to a symphony or opera. They'll have a much happier time with high quality headphones separating out each instrument, appreciating the individuals even as they form the symphony.

Context.

An analogy: the "default", pre-choice-of-audience way to reproduce a painting shouldn't involve a frame and gallery wall, but rather should involve the painting standing alone as a canvas on an easel in a room in the same lighting conditions it was painted in

I think you're nuts! There's multiple frames to view a piece of visual art; from the artist's perspective, they may have designed the piece for a specific location, so you're better off if it's shown that way. It may have been designed to be contextualized (e.g. in a triptych, or as ironic contrast with its original commission). But the passage of time also contextualizes art; art can become meaningful not for its intrinsic artistry or aesthetic, but because of the narrative around the piece, or the artist, or the city / country at the time. A piece of art might be interesting only because e.g. it was once stolen by a very interesting person and got into the news that way; it might not have anything to do with the artifact as a thing-in-itself.

And I hasten to add that that doesn't mean it's bad art. Art is about provoking broad band reaction in the viewer. In order to do that, it needs to trigger the viewer's pattern matching neurobiology relating to different aspects of their lived experience. That's inherently contextual, both on the subject side and on the object side. There's no escaping context.
If you don't mind me asking, when do you go to bed?
It's an architectural style.
I've done 4+ hours of commuting per day before, in the Toronto region. I nearly went crazy. I'd leave at 6:45am and get home after 7pm absolutely exhausted. I'd eat dinner, go to bed by 9, and repeat the process the next day.

I couldn't have hobbies other than reading. I couldn't get a gym membership. I couldn't have any real social life outside of weekends. Grabbing a beer after work with coworkers was possible, but it meant a 3 or more hour bus trip home instead, getting home at 11 if I left the bar by 7.

It's no way to live. After a year, my wife got a job in the city. She now walks to work and I take the subway.

What blows my mind though was the number of people doing this. Why? So that they're kids could have a yard. Never mind that the kids don't use the yard and miss their parents. Any future child of mine will grow up in a condo, but at least they'll grow up with present parents.

For the last couple of months, there have been many educational, simple implementations that explains blockchain technology, I guess thanks to crypto bubble. I wish these were around when we were doing our senior design project on blockchains in 2014. Back then, I only could find basiccoin[0], which was purely minified to just fit in 1000 loc.

After that, I decided to re-implement everything from scratch. My foremost constraint was to write readable code so that anyone could read the codebase and have an idea of how blockchain works.

My current draft of implementation can be found on https://github.com/halilozercan/halocoin , which currently lacks detailed README and documentation. However, you can still experiment with it by using API or CLI. I'm running a dedicated server to have an always online peer you can connect to.

Edit: a word
So does donating blood on a regular basis reduce vaccine efficacy over time? It seems you'd be giving away the T-cells. For a person with 8 pints of blood, making 5 one pint donations would reduce the number of original T-cells by about half. Unless there is a storage place for them. Do these have an affinity for hanging out in the spleen compared to other cells? That would prevent their loss during bleeding.
But free speech says that you shouldn't suppress ANY speech no matter what it is, so you shouldn't be trying to suppress QAPereo now.

It’s getting such criticism because people would rather debate the topic, instead of calling someone an asshole (no matter how diplomatic).

Very good writeup that shows all the steps.

Note it uses MD5 hash instead of SHA256 so not exactly bitcoin. I wonder how much more work would be to make the code fully implement bitcoin. Will it still be readable? Or Etherium? Would be great value for understanding even if Python would be inefficient to run in prod.

It seriously pisses me off that people think the law and rulings made by judges and juries are absurd without knowing anything about the cases or rulings in question. It seriously smacks of arrogance, because these people are your peers, so you are implicitly claiming that you are smarter than all of them. I assure you, that's probably not the case, and in that same situation, you probably would have reached the same conclusion.

There are always exceptions, but check your facts before assuming you're less of an idiot than others.

Pardon for off-topic, but the arguments he makes about double-spending (the third "rule" from that linked forum post) made me realize I have some gaps in my understanding how Bitcoin handles overlapping transactions.

Suppose I have an address with 0BTC balance. (i.e. I have the private key of it on my PC. There isn't yet anything about that address in the blockchain.)

Some other person sends 100mBTC to that address. I can see that the transaction has spread through the network but it hasn't been added to a block yet.

Because I'm overly trusting and/or in a hurry, I don't wait until it's confirmed but I immediately send another transaction that sends the 100mBTC to some other account.

If a miner first picked transaction #1, added it to a block, then added transaction #2 to the following block, both transactions would be valid. However if a miner tried to process transaction #2 first, it would be invalid.

So what would happen? Would miners bring the transactions into correct order and validate both, only validate #1 and reject #2 or reject both?
I had a somewhat unique childhood, in that I spent my early years (before the age of about 10) living in many different places around the world. My parents always made me walk or ride a bike to school, although sometimes I would go together with my 2 older sisters (who were only a few years older than me). Specifically, we lived in places like Caracas (Venezuela), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), and Africa (Nigeria, Ghana). Eventually my family settled in Canada where I mostly grew up, and I continued to transport myself to/from school every day without an escort.

Not only was I never harmed whilst traveling to/from school (except for one time when I fell off my bike while riding to school when I was 6 or 7 years old in Venezuela and I had to get stitches on my knee—I've still got the scar to prove it), but today I live mostly without fear and don't subscribe to most of the BS that fear-driven people do. Depending on how you look at it, I seem to have turned out fine. I also spent most of my childhood playing outside eating dirt, and go figure, I have no allergies or immune problems.

American parents today who coddle their children are robbing them of learning and growth experiences they deserve. Experiences which, in my opinion, would help make them better people. More tolerant, more empathetic, more intelligent, and healthier.
Agreed, Yelp does the same thing.
I understand and empathize with the desire to do something to prevent incidents like this. The issue with the anti-gun movement is that it focuses on the tool and not the human. We have a serious mental health problem in this country. Far too many young men are angry (depressed?) and in need of help but seeking mental help is seen as not a manly thing to do.

Yes we should do something, but gun control laws (at least those in this country that we are ALL willing to tolerate) will not yield the outcome you desire.

I realize most of you won’t do this, but go take a firearms class and learn to shoot. It’s a skill worth learning. As a reader of this forum you are likely to enjoy tinkering and building useful, mechanical things. By far the funnest thing I’ve done is build an AR-15 (gasp! Those things are evil!) from parts. Despite the media’s demonization of this non-military non-assault weapon, the AR-15 is a standardized component platform very much like the PC or LEGOs. That isn’t to imply that it’s easy to build one (lots of swearing involved in getting trigger springs and pins lined up in the small spaces, etc.)

We all want to reduce gun violence, but as history in the US has proven, stricter gun control is not the most effective answer IMO.
As a person outside the USA my perception is:

Texas is part of the South. Rich white south instead of rednecks, but definitely South.
Yes. And I wish they would move to a policy of legalise-and-regulate-(-and-tax).

But at least they manage to make their prohibition policy actually effective: drugs are hard to get, and not a lot of people are actually behind bars or executed for trading.

(Compare with eg the US which incarcerates a lot of people, but the drug trade goes on regardless.)
For a long time, the internet was terrible. We have FiOS where I'm at, and it tends to work well. There are other areas on the mountain with broadband that is slower. If you get too remote, you are left with satellite which has too high of a ping for video conferencing or games.
And would you really watch other people's children starve and die and not give them anything? Obviously some people would, but I don't think that is the norm.

The best disaster preparedness measure you can take is to insist that people in PR are helped -- so if it happens to you, the expectation is assistance.

I reminded of the hunter-gatherer concept: the best place to store food is in another belly.
What is a more generous interpretation of what he said? I didn’t misinterpret it, I used a rhetorical device to unwind his obfuscation of exactly what he was defending.

I'm not sure about REX, but Esperanto is pretty far away from greenarrays. From what I got out of their talk at the latest Risc-V workshop[3] (video[1], slides[2]), they're going for the big high-performance end of the spectrum. The chip they were talking about is supposed to have 16 64-bit OoO Risc-V cores and 4096 RV64GC cores with vector units connected by some sort of network on chip.

"It" being a biological basis for romantic behavior? We've survived this long without know how, or if, biology determines our current romantic behavior, I think we'll be okay. We're not going to go extinct because everyone is fucking robots.
I'm not really sure I see the difference. One of the first things done is to wrap all the calls to the webservice in some kind of API (often using a pre-existing library), which puts you back exactly where you were with calling a function which happens to make a web request.
This totally nerd sniped me last night. But what is the point? I can't think of a situation where it would give better results than professional tools dedicated to the same tasks. It was probably cool in the 90s, when the alternatives were much weaker.
It's a response to a comment saying "Black people's votes are routinely suppressed" with "Black people don't vote enough, that's the real problem!" - yes, at least in part, because they are being suppressed!

It's just like when people quote the percentage of black people in prison as some kind of proof of inherent black immorality. They are ignoring the root causes that aren't the fact those people are black: average wealth, systematic racism, etc...

The comment is getting down voted because it's just logically stupid - it's like someone coming to you with the problem that they don't have any food, and you going "Well, you haven't eaten a meal all week! Maybe start there." - it's not useful or a "counter", it's just restating the problem and pretending it's the fault of the victim.

Compare that voting figure to the national average for people in a similar socio-economic class to the average black person, and then consider they are having votes suppressed as well. Not to mention a political history of being ignored, discriminated against and lied to that would likely reduce anyone's faith in the system.

The idea that it's somehow their fault they are being targeted for systematic suppression or that we shouldn't care about the issue because they, as a population, have low turnout, is just flat-out stupid.
Haha. Yeah, I could have left it off for saying I work out. I felt it was relevant for context on my wife's coaching.
> It is NOT secure neither a real blockchain and you should NOT use this for anything else than educational purposes.

It would be nice if non-secure parts of implementation or design were clearly marked.

What's the point of education article, if bad examples aren't clearly marked as bad? If MD5 usage is the only issue, author could easily replace it with SHA and get rid of the warning at the start. If there are other issues, how can a reader know which parts to trust?

Even if fixing bad/insecure parts are "left as an exercise for the reader", learning value of the article would be much greater if those parts would be at least pointed at.
I like having dinner with my family and hanging out with them for a couple of hours each night.
The article goes far beyond than just "cells have variable lifespan".
> Most likely it's that the majority of experienced crypto devs (aka people who have been around since it was "fork bitcoin and change PoW algo + logo") will be familiar with C++, so a Java implementation is an odd choice that strongly hints that it was written by a lowest-cost contractor

If you're an experienced developer writing a new cryptocurrency that's radically different from Bitcoin, why would you want to fork from Bitcoin and why would you find Java code harder to make safer than C++ code?
I only grew up in Canada but had a similar experience: my parents would tell me to stay in the neighbourhood (about 20 streets winding around hills and parks) and and be home by dark. That was it. I spent entire childhood summers wandering forests with my friends, making forts, going on adventures.

That being said, it probably helps when you live somewhere with no significant crime. I dunno if my parents would have allowed that if we didn't move away from Scarborough (Toronto suburb with some crime issues at the time)

> We have plenty of tools to enforce a thing. We have existing legislation, and we have the power to enact new legislation. We have existing regulation, and we have the power to effect new regulation. We have voices, and we have votes. I am not entirely convinced that Title II vs Title I is the best way to move forward, but I am entirely convinced that it is not the only.

The current administration and Congress have shown a blatant disregard for the voice of the American citizens beyond a wealthy few. Any legislation they enact will to further enrich themselves and their donors, and only continue to selling of America. Our system is rigged so our votes don't matter in general. The current president ran a "populist" campaign and still lost the popular vote by 3 million. The system is setup so that when Democrats win, they need to win big, and when Republicans lose, they still win. Title II is the best we're going to get in this regime.
We got a friends phone to unlock with her sisters face, but it required the phone to fail, enter correct passcode, fail, enter correct passcode. After two failed attempts (consistently, and after retraining) the iPhone had added enough of her sisters face that her sister could unlock it. I wish these unlock articles would state if the phone was "trained" to learn the new face.
I could be wrong but I thought miners were always in sync, miners are effectively writers to the ledger and single threaded. They all mine the same transactions in the same order. The first to find the hash with correct difficulty gets the block, which triggers the other miners to stop and verify. Once verified the new block becomes the seed for the next block. So the first transaction will always be processed before the second transaction. The second transaction would be committed as long as you had enough balance remaining after the first transaction.
