You can rent hashing power on Nicehash, which currently has ~77MSol/s available for rent. I'm not 100% familiar with how the auction process works, but it looks like I could purchase 26MSol/s via a fixed contract for 1 hour for ~1BTC.

Am I misunderstanding something here, or can I maintain a 51% attack right now for ~$8k an hour. This can't be right.
>> To implement per source-destination queues with full isolation, we’d need hundreds of thousands of different queues. Across Kafka, RabbitMQ, NSQ, or Kinesis–we haven’t seen any queues which support that level of cardinality with simple scaling primitives.

I've been posting this a lot recently but it keeps coming up as the relevant solution, Apache Pulsar supports millions of topics without much overhead and offers the log semantics of Kafka with better scaling and per-message acknowledgement: https://pulsar.incubator.apache.org

I think much of this issue can be attributed to 2 most underrated things

1. Cache line misses.

Many times, I have seen simple awk / grep commands will outperform Hadoop jobs. I personally feel, its lot better to spin up larger instances, compute your jobs and shut it down than bearing the operational overhead of managing hadoop cluster.

Theoretically the attacker could also be picking up 0-fee transactions, but my intent was to really say this: it doesn't matter how small a double spend is - the ramifications for the network are the same.
Assyria (bottom left) was able to push a couple underdefended cities early thanks to their unique unit [1] which is exceptional at city-taking, however was stalled by unit buildup from neighboring civs. In the lategame, Greece (top left) mounted a massive attack enabled by their quick discovery of Chemistry, which allowed them to produce far-superior cannons [2], around turn 364 (5:00). The next to obtain cannons were the Ottomans, at turn 377 (5:11), but after a few moments of back-and-forth battle, they were overrun by Greece's superior numbers. After the collapse of the Ottoman defense, Greece was easily to defeat the remaining civs piecemeal, thanks to their overwhelming production advantage.

Agreed on that. A few daily bugs have crept up on my MacBook, nowhere near what I’m getting on KDD/Plasma but not nearly as stable as OS X of the past. Especially data syncing, that kills the battery.

I wish they’d drop the whole Swift thing too and work on fixing all the frameworks to make them solid and not splintering the dev communities.

AT&T does that a lot around here... every 6 months they knock at my door saying that they have been improving the network and sell it as fiber but the fiber only goes to a main box in your neighborhood, and copper goes to your house (it's probably been the same for the last 10 years)... but to tell you the truth, I don't care if it's fiber, only the actual speed matters (with AT&T it is not very fast).

Not only that, but also an attacker can wait until the money is "safe" outside the exchange before revealing the attack. If the attacker really has more than half of the hash rate, there's no time limit; the malicious chain will always be longer than the innocent one.

Do people not speed even when there are red-light cameras? Of course they do. So does this mean we could start handing out rewards instead of fines, for speeding, and people would keep doing the same, because it's in their nature to speed or something? No, that's crazy. Of course that a system that rewards certain behaviours will result in a higher incidence of those behaviours, whereas a system that disincentivises them will result in the opposite.

Don't you see how basic your comments are? I would suggest you be a bit less sure of your own righteousness, and a bit more receptive to listening what others have to say. As it stands you're only embarrassing yourself, and worse, you're polluting this website with comments that clearly indicate you're not interested in an honest, thoughtful discussion, but only in blindly defending the position which you've already decided to hold.
That appears to be a baseless comment.

Civ 5, with the add-ons, is one of my favourite games of all times. It's really well-balanced and thoroughly thought through. Everything is just in place, game mechanics, city management, unit system, science tree, social policies, trade, etc. I do turn off espionage, though. And the AI leaves room for improvement.

Another thing that I also really like about the game is that you can get away with very little micro-management. However, some some micro-management gives you slight advantage. I think they struck a nice balance here.

And beating deity was great, it almost felt like playing chess. Sure, you have to have a bit of luck with your starting position.

What specific transaction costs/rent collecting are you referring to? As a retail investor I can trade stocks for free on Robinhood. My orders get filled instantaneously at the current market price. On other platforms the per-trade fee is a couple bucks, regardless of transaction size.

With Coinbase I pay a MUCH larger fee, that is a percentage of the transaction size rather than zero (with Robinhood) or a low fixed cost. With Coinbase I would pay a ~15 dollar fee to buy or sell $1000 dollars of BTC or ETH.

As far as moving money in/out of Fiat, Robinhood/Etrade/etc also win with near instant transfers if your account is already funded. Coinbase buys and sells take days to clear.

Can you provide specific real-world examples of how tokenized securities can help with "transaction costs, slowness, brittleness, mistakes" ?

On a first glance, I see many issues with this article: (sorry for my mediocre English)

1. Extremists may have given pro-democracy answers in order to make their ideology/side seen as more benevolent.

2. Thinking that a democracy isn't a "very good" political system doesn't mean that you are going to be less contrary to an authoritarian political system. Maybe the opposite is true.

2a) Many people may have answered that democracy = "very good" simply because that's the idea that's been pushed by media, school, social pressure, etc.

Maybe the same psychological trait that makes people be skeptic of this idea that democracy is basically the perfect system is the one that makes people develop a centrist ideology,

2b)Maybe that same skepticism would make them oppose an authoritarian regime more than people who think democracy is perfect

3. Maybe people who think democracy is "very good" also think that an authoritarian regime is not that bad, but people who think democracy is mediocre think that an authoritarian regime is inacceptable.

4. Maybe the scale centrists use for good-bad is offset in relation to the scale extremists use for good-bad, but the relative distances between a dictatorship and a democracy are the same in both scales.

5. The author says that liberty and democracy are inherently related, which might not be the idea that everyone has. Then he confuses "I think liberty is necessary for democracy" with "I support liberty" which is not always the case.

Example: someone might fully support liberty, but not think that democracy always ends in liberty, maybe people will democratically decide that liberty is undesirable in favor of security, equality, etc.

My point is that you can't conclude the author's thesis from the data presented in the article alone.
Hey now, Ruby ain't dead. I am one of these "Ruby" guys and, in the 48-or-so hours since my profile was activated at a new recruiting shop this week, I've gotten several potential candidate employers (some in seed stage) who want to get in touch.

The real issue is why do we silo ourselves so? It's fucking stupid. I do so much more than Ruby but conveying that to the new breed of tech people is just impossible. All they see is your biggest resume badge, and all they care about is how wide you will spread your legs for them.

So I'm showing my age here, but...

Back in the day - a fax wasn't considered a "signed legal document", but it _was_ considered "proof of existence of a signed legal document".

Perhaps the response to this is to not "trust" video or images as standalone legal "evidence", but to allow a person to testify "yes, that's an unmodified depiction of an event I witnessed", with that person then being held liable to legal penalties for perjury if that's disproved.

There's precedent (here in Australia) - traffic cameras put a hash of the image and detected infringement details into the file they use for enforcement action and as evidence if you elect to have it heard in court, at which time they need an "expert witness" from the manufacturer to state that the image cannot have been manipulated as "proved" by the hash (there was a hilarious case in Sydney a couple of decades back because back where a defence lawyer got smart enough advice to point out the fixed speed camera his client was accused by had a design flaw where the hash was calculated of the photograph _before_ overlaying the date/time/detected speed on it, so it was impossible to verify the hash since the annotations destroyed enough information... They had to let the alleged offender off, and then scrabbled to create a twisted legal interpretation to ensure all other drivers fine by the same model speed camera couldn't all dispute past fines...)
As the space matures I'd love to see a company that offers double spend insurance for a given tx.

For example changes could wait for 10 minutes worth of blocks then request a quote for double spend insurance. The company evaluates the probability of a double spend and maybe even has a couple standing contracts with rentable hashing power to be able to target smaller PoW chains and prevent any double spend attack.

There are lots of interesting and cool problems to be solved in evaluating the safety of a given tx. Unfortunately I don't know if the space is mature enough that exchanges would actually use the service.

Maybe yours will be different but at one time I also thought "if I release it, the people will come." Luckily I wasn't invested too much in a certain outcome after launching. Otherwise I would have never kept improving it. I still don't know if more than a few people will ever try it, but I like working on it so much it won't ever feel like a waste. If nothing else, at least I can make silly animations with it.

That took a moment to parse, but what a neat observation.

I've always admired apple from afar. I wish they cared More about lower rung use cases. If apple came out with something to compete with chromebooks, maybe $500-600 range, I'd be the first in those ridiculous lines.

Tangent: what's the outlook for swift on the server? Is that work group doing any work lately? Hell I heard swift was investigating memory safety as a future feature, is that still a thing?

I think with some of their software talent, swift could really make a strong case for swift>rust in learnability if it could make the same claims about safety and correctness.

Why do the coolest things always get so fucked up? The swift website is absolutely littered with old code that doesn't work, or at least it was the last time I bothered to investigate it.

They're sitting on such an absurd amount of cash, they oughtta do that Think Different thing and shake the scene up a bit more. The wait-for-google-and-then-fix-whatever-they-fuckup is getting stale.

I guess they don't care what I think since I'm not really an apple customer. But still.

I gave your service a quick whirl. Love the design language as a developer. What I don't like is that I have to provide my credit card information to get any detailed info (assuming there is such a thing behind the Stripe checkout).

The info available to non-signed-up people is simply not enough. It would be great if you had a demo account so one can get a feel for how this works.

E.g. I couldn't find info on why I have to add a job description. Wouldn't I post job board, with the posting liniing to the ApplyByAPI test?

I could also not find any info on the tests candidates have to do. Yes, APIs, I get it. But an example wouldn't hurt.

Interesting idea!

What does a failover look like in Kubernetes? From the GCP Docs: [1]

> In the unlikely event of a zonal outage, you can failover your workload running on regional persistent disks to another zone using the force-attach command. The force-attach command allows you to attach the regional persistent disk to a standby VM instance even if the disk cannot be detached from the original VM due to its unavailability.

Does the kubernetes.io/gce-pd provisioner have the logic to detect a zone failure in GCP and call the "force-attach" command if a failover is needed? Or does it always try to do a "force-attach" if a normal attach call fails? How does it handle a split-brain scenario, where the disk is requested by two separate nodes in each zone?

Yup. While I do need to use a number of third-party tools to get the UX like I want it (Hammerspoon, Hyperswitch, Spectacle and Quicksilver), they do exist, they work fine and I think this has more to do with my specific requirements than with any fundamental issues or missing features in the UX.

Going forward, advanced sandboxing is indeed one of the most important things that I would love to see Apple focus on. Ever since I first considered the possibility that apps can have individual access controls, probably around the time I first encountered SELinux/RSBAC and later AppArmor, I've been wondering why vendors aren't pushing this as an absolute top priority on the security front.

Meanwhile I'm using this:

https://beta.f-secure.com/key/XFence

It's Jonathan Zdziarski's Little Flocker rebranded after he sold it to F-Secure. It works great, but it does admittedly require an upfront investment.

2 caveats:

- Current version only works on Sierra (I'm not touching High Sierra until just before the next one comes out)

- Creating "any via" rules can lead to noticeable slowdowns, while "ancestor" rules, even though they are theoretically more expensive, don't (unless one overuses them, I suppose). It's probably a bug.

Other than this, I've been using it for over a year and have no complaints whatsoever.
