This is true in mysql if you rollback a transaction, or use a INSERT INTO ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.

In the first, the rollback doesn't revert the sequence, in the second the "insert part" will always increase the number, even if there is a duplicate to update.

> Would you ask the same question if the world run 100% on renewables?

Yes, because the resources (Material or labour) that went into building those renewable power plants could have gone into building something else that people want or need. Houses. Retaining walls. High-speed rail tracks. Electric cars. Bicycles. Video games. Rolls of sushi.

I will keep asking that question until we are in a post-scarcity society.

This is a fairly good point. Any argument about externalities in energy usage applies to all usages of energy, and the solution is to internalize them in the price of energy.
Except Bitmain has announced and will be shipping to preorders the first Equihash ASIC (Antminer z9) in July... only 3000 z9's would be needed to equal 30 Megahash, which would be $6M at the z9's $2k price tag. Bitmain obviously has been mining themselves with the z9's for a while, so I would bet that they noticed this and jumped on it before shipping their "lightly used" units out.
I'm expressing a hope to the point of lying.
Is this stealing by whatever definition police/the courts currently use? Isn't it an intentional part of the design of a cryptocurrency that decisions are made by a consensus based on hashing power?

If you have 51% of the hashing power, you have control over that cryptocurrency; that's by design. Can you really steal at that point?

edit: to those replying, I'm not saying this double spend is ethically fine, or not theft in the common parlance. I'm saying it's not entirely clear to me a court would find this to be theft. Think about the Ethereum hard fork to undo the DAO hack; there, a majority of the hashing power undid a bunch of transactions. I wouldn't call that theft (because it was undoing a hack?) but it doesn't seem that different to this situation.

First of all, you can observe a drop-off in quality (-control) with every new upgrade. OSes should be stable and not layered with new destabilising os-features every year.

Opportunity cost. All that 100% renewable energy could be used for something that actually adds value to society but isn't because it is being pissed away on the Rube Goldberg invention known as Satoshi's BlockChain.

> Also they pay for all the energy they spend so what exactly is the problem?

Give me a fucking break. These miners raise the price of electricity for everybody else and produce absolutely nothing of value to society at large.

Same thing these miners have done with graphics cards -- they've made graphics cards more expensive than most people can afford... you know, people who want to use those video cards for playing games instead of sucking down large quantities of non-renewable energy in a vain attempt to Get Rich Quick.

Bitcoin and all the others in the crypto "space" add absolutely zero value to society.

Its smaller than that if count just the 21K coding proteins, two copies from both parents. If perfectly mixed you start losing ancestor contributions as soon as 16 generations or 400 years. But meiosis- the halving of DNA during creation of eggs and sperm- is not perfectly random, but chunky. So ancestor dropout occurs sooner.(It is hypothesized much of the other 98% of the genome has some sort of genetic influence too.)

Bitcoin gold uses a different hashing algorithm than bitcoin and bitcoin cash. Because of this, this fork was not able to take advantage of the enormous resources invested in the original bitcoin mining community like bitcoin cash was able to. There is still orders of magnitude more cost involved in attacking bitcoin cash (and bitcoin) than it was to attack bitcoin gold.

[edit] Also - bitcoin gold uses GPU mining - so one does not need to acquire specialized hardware to mine/attack it - and the hardware involved can be resold for other uses recovering a significant part of the capital cost. Or you could just rent it from the cloud.
Being compatible doesn't mean that compatibility is the path of least friction, especially when it clashes with good design.

A good example of that tension is the final/open thing: Wonky frameworks abuse inheritance and force you to use open all over the place, but Effective Java suggests you should make every class/method final unless you specifically design it to be extended.

I don't think that the obvious problems with OS X (macOS, whatever) are with the UX, though. Sure, there are problems on that front, but I don't think they're the major pain points people deal with on a daily basis.

Meanwhile, user-controllable per-process (or per-app) sandboxing would provide tangible benefit to all of us. This means, easy controls for accessing filesystem, network, cpu, gpu, memory, peripherals, and other processes.

Most of these controls exist, but in ways that don't map well to the desktop environment. How do I see what that adobe agent is doing? Sure, I can buy Little Snitch, but this should really be built into the OS. Too much of the UNIX model is designed to secure a user's information from other users, which simply isn't a massive concern these days when we often have dedicated workstations and have issues trusting the processes we run as our own user. What if I suspect my TODO list has a built-in bitcoin miner? I should be able to limit its use of the CPU and GPU.

Meanwhile, my editor still needs to read the configs of all my sandboxed apps, and whatever else I want it to access. This isn't necessarily an easy problem, but it's one I have confidence Apple could tackle, especially with mobile paving the way already.

All this time, docker has been innovating on the sandboxing, with mostly positive results. Android, I believe, runs each process as its own user, leveraging the existing UNIX controls better. I'm not sure what precisely iOS does, but it's locked down well enough to cause me immense frustration building stuff for my phone--not exactly what I'd like to see on the desktop, but they clearly have the ability to provide many of the controls I am looking for on the desktop.

I'm sure this would result in an improved UX as a result, TBH.

If not, Google is coming down the road with Fuschia.
I think the missing IX and IY are definitive Z80 instructions. The 'Ultimate Gameboy talk' has a nice Venn diagram and they tend to agree that the GB is missing the 'interesting' instructions from the Z80. However the added shifts etc from Z80 are quite useful. But on the continuum between 8080 to Z80 the GB80 is closer to 8080

> Why would you use Java when you could use C++ which has a ton of extra features? Or Haskell which has a lot of neat abstractions? Or Python which is super easy to use? Or Lisp which is extremely flexible?

Because C++ and Python aren't safe enough, Haskell is too hard to learn, and Lisp is too flexible to maintain. Or maybe you weigh the factors differently and wouldn't use Java, and would pick one of those languages instead.

> Simple, they all serve a particular purpose. Scala serves a particular purpose, so does Kotlin.

I disagree with this as a language design philosophy. Your language may end up being better suited for some purposes than others, but I find languages that aim to be general-purpose tend to work out better than languages that design for a small niche. Scala in particular was explicitly designed to be a "scalable language" that could be used for both large and small programs - and my experience is that it manages that. (Indeed I'd say it doesn't make sense to adopt it as a language if it's not replacing the majority of your stack - there's more to learn in Scala than in most languages, but if you can replace two languages with Scala then that's still less to learn overall).

> No one likes small enhancements over an existing language in a new language - it is usually not worth switching over. Remember D?

Exactly - I think Kotlin has largely made the same mistake as D or CoffeScript, of not being willing to make a big enough break from the existing language in the space. And yet at the same time we see that it's not so easy for a Java user to pick up, either.

Under normal free market assumptions, the cost of double spending is simply the expected reward of each block multiplied by the number of blocks that need to be mined. For bitcoin, where the reward for finding a block is currently ~$100,000, that means you should be able to double spend by mining 6 blocks at a cost of less than a million dollars.

The question is: are bitcoin miners subject to the usual free market assumptions? If someone offered you double the market rate to hire a bitcoin miner for an hour would you accept that offer or not?

> Crypto currencies are worthless unless they have an enormous amount of hashing power behind them.

Why would you think an enormous amount of hashing power helps? Even with Bitcoin, the actual marginal cost of a 51% attack is quite low. The difficulty is the capital expense of actually connecting to a couple GW of power and finding enough rentable ASICs.

I think this is fundamental. In a proof-of-work scheme, if the mining rewards in whatever time frame is considered a full confirmation are less than the amount of gain available using a 51% attack, then a 51% attack is economical.

ASIC mining during boom time helps mitigate the issue a bit, since the ASICs are worth more if the currency isn’t devalued by 51% attacks, but even Bitcoin will be vulnerable of older, less efficient ASICs start flooding the market, which seems inevitable if the price of BTC stagnates enough.

There are other conglomerates.

Berkshire Hathaway is an extremely good example. It includes a wide variety of companies that like to spin off cash, such as See's Chocolates, combined with a core insurance company that could need access to very large financial reserves. According to http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2017ltr.pdf they are operating under the assumption that a $400 billion catastrophe has a 2%/year probability, and they are prepared to weather such an event.

Another good example is Amazon. They are the humble bookstore that does everything from web hosting to delivering groceries.
The claims about null-safety are pure FUD; once you get past thinking about the literal string enn-you-ell-ell, Kotlin and Scala are exactly as null-safe as each other in all the ways that matter (e.g. as shown in the article, Java interop in Kotlin has exactly the same null-safety issues as in Scala).
You might even say it will ultimately require at least 51% of worldwide electricity production, to ensure no actor (including nation-states) can suddenly on-line additional capacity to seize control.

And then if that's true, one might dream of a power plant arms race, where two competing nations build additional power plants as fast as possible to prevent the other from gaining enough electrical capacity to attack the network...

It sounds to me like you need to find co-founders or partners. Part of surviving in the long run is really just emotional support from people who believe in your product and share similar interests.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies require even more trust than normal currency. With a normal currency transaction, you need only trust at most 2 other entities entities: your counterpart to the transaction and the government issuing the currency.

With a blockchain, you still need to trust the counterparty, but now you also need to trust that the coders have properly designed and programmed the system, and that the miners either don't have the power to corrupt the system or aren't corrupt, and you need to trust whatever exchange you use to get into and out of the cryptocurrency.

Plus, you've added in a significant amount of time--at a minimum 20x the time with Bitcoin and significant transaction fees that as a practical matter have exceeded card interchange fees by 2x or more for the past 3 years straight.

Your right about their being more variables...with cryptocurrency.
But wouldn't the long-term honest mining be more profitable than a single hit and run? Kinda the same reason that when you go to a restaurant the restaurant owners almost always exchange food for money rather than rob you and leave town forever. If you own a restaurant it's generally more profitable to run it honestly than run away with a one-time dishonest payoff.
I don't know why that is happening on your setup. You can try replacing 'stream' on the next line with 'stdout', and remove the enum declaration.

Code is law, bro. These fine chaps simply gathered enough resources to execute a slightly different code-path than before.

The folks whose value was stored in Bitcoin Gold should have read the source code before committing any funds to the blockchain. Had they done so, it would have been very clear that this feature was baked right into the source code.

Interesting question: indeed why would evolution select for genes that produce sterile individuals (for ants)? What is the selection pressure ensuring only the queen reproduces?

Firstly, the drones creating offspring would lead firstly into a population explosion followed by a population collapse after viable and attainable nutrition sources nearby have been depleted. Once the population collapses to low enough numbers, even cannibalism does not work anymore and eventually that genetic line dies out.

Also, it is presumable there would be fighting over resources, and maybe multiple genetic makeups within a single nest also opens up the door for attacks from other nests, since detecting who is a friend and who is not could be difficult, making the nest (and its genetic makeup) vulnerable.

Also, the minimum reproductive unit for a mobile homo sapiens is obviously a man and a woman. But is it viable, too? I say yes. Their offspring can wander out away from their parents and find another isolated offspring that is fsr enough genetically, and create progeny and repeat the process. If the humans are somehow not mobile, then a larger group ("tribe") is needed to avoid inbreeding with its detrimental effects.
Not necessarily, non-hashing consensus seems to be where most blockchain projects are going. So these would require a stake of assets or similar, instead of wasting computing cycles.
> There is now a documented stable API for programs that need to embed Tor.

This is a nice feature. It's just a wrapper around main and CLI args, but lets us statically link it. I just built a Go project[0] that supports this API in statically compiled Tor[1].

> The control port now supports commands and events for v3 onion services.

This is also awesome as v3 services publish much faster. I can create an ephemeral v3 service and have it published in a few seconds as opposed to many seconds with v2. Granted the name is way longer because it embeds an entire ed25519 pub key in there, but it's worth it. There are many other internal benefits of v3 too.

There is a feedback loop between the over-availability of protein, the way it's marketed, and our eating habits.

The article says they reversed some transactions up to 22 blocks later, which is 220 minutes, or 3 hours 40 minutes. So they would only need 51% for that time, but they didn't just add 51% of hashing power or that would be noticeable on the charts. From the looks of it [0] the hashrate has been falling slowly since BTG was created, so the miner may have just become the one with 51% by virtue of keeping mining with the same setup and then watching others stop mining, increasing his share of the network with no extra effort on their behalf. I would assume this miner also realises that BTG is dead/dying and is trying to extract as much as possible from it before they move their equipment to a new chain. If this attack method proves sufficiently profitable perhaps the miner will look at dying chains he can easily overpower instead of trying to mine a more profitable chain with a higher hash rate.
