Yea, noticed the typo. Anyway, you can get 1,000Mbit connections in much of the world for under 100$ per month which should be able to handle a full node.

Also, most people don't need to actually run a full node to be a miner. Assuming you trust someone running a full node and the block is signed by hash of hash of (node + random value ) < some value then most miners need only get that initial hash from the trusted party which is under 1kb. You can also send back the best hashes you find to the full node to demonstrate you actually have that hashing power.

It's appealing to have a lot of full nodes backing things up, but in practical terms I don't think it makes much difference if there is 1,000 or 100,000 full nodes. The important bit is for anyone to be able to trust the network not just to waste as much computing power as possible. And for that you can verify some random collection of transactions with less than full bandwidth which lets you verify the full node you're supporting.

PS: You could also set things up with shards, but again I don't feel it's nessisarily worth it.
> The always-on, cloud-connected device that you carry everywhere at all times?

You're doing it wrong. ;-) It's easy to leave your tracking device plugged into the wall at home, just like a landline, or put it in "airplane mode" when you don't want to be tracked or bothered.
Could it be we're confusing what an alloy (or some composite) is made of vs _how_ it's made?

For example (and it's just an example for the sake of discussion), many here couple probably analyze the skin of a stealth bomber and identify what it's made of. But that still leaves how it was made.

It seems reasonable to think we have things - which could be non ET - that we can't quite figure out and don't want anyone else to know either.

Obviously not a popular idea for HN but certainly not impossible.
How to use home assistant:
1. buy any compatible smart thing listed as compatible on the home assistant website
2. Buy a raspberry pi and any necessary RF adapters.
3. Install home assistant on the raspberry pi and edit the config.yaml file to work with your devices.

It was much easier than I expected, and works with more DIY things as well (like 315/433Mhz RF Sockets).
This is definitely worth looking up on Youtube.
I don't understand. This page doesn't seem to actually explain how the "merge nodes" actually works to, well, merge divergent histories.

Does it rely on some application-level logic implemented by the user? If so, how is this useful? Existing tools like y.js seem to be vastly superior in terms of usability.

Tips for You to Convert MXF to MOV Without Quality Loss

This!

Working on a small scale, say 40 mm wafers, you’ll be dealing with small amounts of HF - approximately 250 ml. But.

There are two problems with HF: first, it doesn’t give a burning sensation like other acids, so there is a tendency to discount the seriousness of a major spill once you get past the shower off stage. Second, it is rapidly absorbed transdermally and causes an insidious necrosis, but, more importantly, it can affect blood potassasium balance and cause heart failure after some delay. While the emergency rooms on the peninsula are aware of the risk and the treatment, that may not be the case in rural Iowa. So do the homework, have a supply of gluconate on hand, and get to the emergency room right away (with the msds) if you wet, say, more than 50 sq cm of skin with HF. Not all people are susceptible, but EKG monitoring is essential following major bodily contact.

Always wear gloves, and test them. Since HF doesn’t give a burning sensation, it’s easy to get a small puncture and an HF burn. I remember one older tech who was lax about this and he lost fingernails over time. He would joke about soaking his hand in a bucket of water by his bed so he could get to sleep. Pioneer days!

There's not a single market. The volume at a particular exchange matters. Note the disparity Coinbase had recently.

I don't use Facebook, should I feel discriminated against too?. Can't I put a job ad in a magazine about things that only young people care about? Isn't that discrimination too?.

First, I don't think that discrimination by private companies is bad, and even if you try to forbid it, there's always going to be a way around it, and it's going to be hard to draw a line and say "this is where discrimination starts".
With Airflow you can have it send an email on task failure which you can then hookup to a bunch of things -- slack, pagerduty, etc.

We've also used rollbar for logging, so I've hacked the airflow script to setup a logger that reports warn and above to rollbar so we'll get alerts that way as well if something is deadlocked or whatever.
I played for about two weeks starting early November then got bored and don’t play anymore. I wonder if this will be the case with most other players over time as well. Twice daily seems too much. Reminds me of when Who Wants To Be A Millionaire went from once a week to every night in the early 2000s. In that case viewership tanked and never recovered.
My dad is a logger and was a mechanic; he's almost 61 and "retired" for two years. He thrashes along six or seven days a week, cutting on two different jobs, with a cable skidder and chainsaw - so he's jumping up and down, sawing, and pulling cable all day. I'm amazed at how hard he can work, but he's always been a bull. I think he's afraid that if he slows down, he's not going to be able to start back up. Or maybe it's just the way he is. Only issue he's really had is that the years of power tools and vibrations got to his wrists and hands, so he had to get carpal tunnel surgery.

I wonder if this is a more difficult problem because the "good" ones are taken off the market, potentially forever. Follow the logic, does this leave emotionally irrational people to have a larger share of the reviews than normal? And then just like it takes only a couple of unreasonable bad Yelp reviews to unfairly damage a restaurant, I can imagine a couple of emotionally unhealthy people damage someone's future dating prospects by writing stuff that has more to do with themselves than their dating partners? Maybe you can account for this by reevaluating reputation by weighing scores from people who receive high scores higher than scores received from those with low scores? Gets really complicated really fast, no? Really curious how online dating companies attack these problems.
There actually isn't any database outside of a directory of files. The version control is done the same way that Git works under the hood but written from scratch in C.

Essentially, we have a database directory with two sub-directories, refs and objects. In refs we have a file for the id of each piece of data stored. The id file contains the hash of the latest commit for this id. A commit is just another file that contains a time, a hash of the previous commit, and the hash of the data.

The objects directory stores all the data and the commits, with each entry's filename being the hash of its data and its contents as the data stored.

So all we're doing is making a linked list where each entry points to a different version of that data. No external database or version control needed.
Nice idea. I was thinking of doing the same before and calling it "Printstagram".
The contestant selection for the Price is Right television show isn't random. You're spot on, a producer selects the contestants based on a quick interview with each audience member before the show. Even if the selection process has changed recently this story is from 2008. The article is wrong. And this website appears to be spun click traffic farming site, way to go Hacker News.
Absolutely, I would crack it like Neo :-)
I believe the prices are linked because you still have to cash out into Bitcoin first before anything else. Sometimes you can in ethereum but not always. If we can start buying with. Altcoins are worth Bitcoin. So it makes sense they follow each other. What we need is more pairs to buy altcoins from other than Bitcoin.
Why kind of world has people saying cash is rigged to be cheaper. It's the medium of exchange, everything else is on top of it. Of course it costs more!

Is there a simple way to explain why trusting the developers of the software to manage the network is meaningfully different than trusting the Fed to manage the dollar?

I mean, I understand (I think) that Bitcoin doesn't require a given node to trust another node. But what if there is a change to the software that trickles down to all the nodes without them realizing the consequences until it is too late? Either a bug or intentional subversion.

> Although the vast majority of Buddhists condemn the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya, it is not intrinsically incompatible with Buddhist ethics.

For the level of Buddhism practiced in this area (Theravada) it is incompatible, there’s clearly nothing good that can come from it. They were clearly taught not to do this, there’s no ambiguity.

Additionally monks have no authority, they are not saints or have even the slightest clue about anything, anyone can put on a robe and be a monk. This isn’t understood in the West, where a monk is considered to be a title, but it’s really a zero, like saying your child got into pre-school.
Sounds like either Google is a terrible company with useless customer service and dysfunctional standard procedures, or known journalists and bloggers immediately set off alarms when they use this recovery mechanism because there has been too much negative press about social engineering leading to account theft recently.

Aren't the featuresets of uBlock and Disconnect overlapping? I would think that you could easily import lists from Disconnect into uBlock and vice-versa (provided Disconnect supports that functionality).

If the featuresets are identical, then I'd like to see resource usage comparison of both plugins. I haven't experimented with Disconnect, but I've noticed a performance improvement when I switched from AdBlock+ to uBlock.
all people involved want the event to happen

Obviously false. The people cleaning up after an overdose don't want it to happen. The family watching a member trash a career don't want it to happen. "Involved" doesn't begin to capture the number of people dealing with the event if you just consider the direct participants.

The point of sources is to separate reality from what some guy on the internet thinks happened. I believe you are being deluded or disengenuoid in this thread.

I would hazard a guess that someone with access to that info wouldn't provide a source were they to leak it, also that someone with access to a source wouldn't leak it in such a public way or on HN.

It depends on what how old Turing was... if it's 20 year old Turing -- an electron microscope wasn't invented yet... so no, he couldn't use one to see all of the structures of a CPU.. just the larger structures visible with an optical microscope (limited to ~200nm (Rayleigh criteron) but I dont know if they had the lens manufacturing good enough back then to reach that limit)... which may not be enough for him to figure it out.

Edit: And even when he died in the 1954, electron microscopes werent that advanced... we still needed to invent new techniques, improve our lens manufacturing, etc. There were a lot of shortcomings with it back then that limited its usage. So even in his later years, I wonder how much detail he could actually see on a modern CPU.
In the future there will be legal file sharing paid by crypto currencies. There will be a distributed movie Netflix like app running on p2p tech like ipfs where streams are paid on the block chain.

Right. A shared fab run is better: many designs are merged on one wafer, and the resulting chips are packaged and returned to the designers. The cost is split, each designer gets only a few chips per run. Right now, the turn-around time is lengthy, but, like PCB fab these days, that could change.

The 8 hour day contributes, sure, but it's more than just that. Because I live in a city that allows it, I walk to/from work and to/from lunch every day. And to/from any other errand that needs doing. People who drive to suburban office parks do none of this.

It's not just what you're doing for the 8 hours that you're at your desk. A lot of us have arranged our entire lives to require no physical movement.

It’s called paying for the services you use. You don’t even need to switch to a different product / provider, just pay $5/month and ~$10/year for a domain name. Then worst case scenario, you can move your domain off of Google Apps and not need to update your email address everywhere with everyone.
thats the thing though, no one expects the spanish inquisition.
Privacy Badger on my Chrome Windows shows 22 trackers and uBlock Origin blocked 49 requests. That's a lot of bloat that is probably eating the CPU.
A friend of mine has two kids <= 5 years old who have grown up using Netflix. They saw cable TV for the first time when visiting a relative for the holidays, and he was worried that they seemed to have a lot of trouble distinguishing ads from content.

Buy your own domain name and forward your mail from an address on that domain to your gmail. Keep a backup of your email. If you lose access, just create a new account and update the address you're forwarding to.

Matt, thanks - can you elaborate on your hack of the airflow script? What type of events do you set alerts on?
I thought so too, but from playing the game there could be as many as 300k+ participants by the 3rd question, and on Sunday games that number could be as high as 500k, nearing their all time high, and tens of thousands still watch all the way (for some reason). The issues, as I have noticed them, have always been around getting started. Today I noticed an issue where my sister was playing HQ, but didn't get any questions and everyone in her chat was complaining about the game being broken but not in mine. I then noticed her viewer count said 22k while mine said 300k - somehow she was in the wrong session (so maybe there's a CDN issue)?

This also somewhat implicitly confirms one thing I've noticed over many years of servicing PCs, mostly for others --- HDDs mounted in cheap flimsy cases seem to have shorter lives than those in cases made of heavier material.

Too bad they only tested 4 WD Blue (consumer/desktop) drives; I would've liked to see other models, particularly WD Black (high end workstations), Gold (datacenter), and Purple (DVR applications). The WD Blacks I use are noticeably heavier, and they do advertise them as having more vibration dampening.
