Obviously capital allocation of individuals is not a perfect measure of utility, but it is the best/ fairest metric we have. Conveniently it provides a clear mechanism to sort out this mess. Price carbon pollution at the source and see the rest of the actors seeking profit fall in line. Miners will chose green energy, green energy will get more demand, their economies of scale will increase, pollution will decrease. Bitcoin energy use is no longer a problem and can provide whatever utility it is valued at without externalities.

"If a plastic product is determined safe for microwave use, then you will see either a microwave-safe symbol or written instructions indicating the product is microwave-safe. The numbering system found on plastics pertains to recycling and does not indicate whether or not the plastic is safe for heating.

However, Dr. Danoff warns that not all microwave-safe products are safe to use in the microwave in the same way."

No elaboration on this last point other than to say don't reuse tv dinner trays. Overall I prefer to microwave glass but I'd like to know for sure one way or the other.

The fat recommendations you're citing are presumably coming from places like the USA's FDA -- which famously pushed the 'fat makes you fat' lie for many decades, directing citizens to consume increasing amounts of sugar instead, resulting in one of the most spectacular, and depressing, natural experiments that has proven this thinking to be literally fatally flawed.

I would like to add something. I am from India and I am seeing the results of Fat makes you fat principle peddled by doctors on the population. Before the introduction of "Americanised" version of food and US FDA dietary regulations(Docs in India follow the US FDA regulations), we had animal fats like Ghee, Butter, Panner, cream made from milk. Now the docs told remove these and told everyone to eat more Carbs. Well people started more eating more Carbs. Guess what they choose more and more processed cereals rather than greens. Now we have Type 2 Diabetes epidemic in India. People are not as fat as Americans but are skinny fat and have belly fat and all metabolic diseases. And the bad advice continues.

Anecdotally from my own use cases, I’ve found Go to be good for problems easily made parallel. This is especially true for things that commonly fall under “microservices.”

On the other hand, for more intensive work, I’ve found it doesn’t perform as well as JVM-based applications. A lot of this is either JRuby or data models in Java doing interesting things with data structures.

Finally, for sheer processing speed, we’ve started converting some of our components to Rust. This has a 3-4x speed advantage to Java and Go for similar implementations.

Again - all anecdotes and I’m not really in a position to deeply explain how it all works (proprietary, etc). Just my two cents.

Right, it could possibly be negative.

Second, if I went to a store spent 199 dollars and those 199 dollars magically reappeared in my hand, didn't I create money out of nothing and reduce dollar value? Yes I did. Even if I never cloned any money I reduce the expectations of future stores that their money won't magically disappear.

And yes, I am aware banks do this, but they are regulated and when they abuse it, you get a financial crisis.

The ticket is suggesting that for building the BIOS that runs inside the VirtualBox image, they switch from OpenWatcom (another C compiler for DOS) to Digital Mars. VirtualBox emulates an IBM-compatible PC, and the traditional boot protocol for IBM-compatible PCs involves a BIOS that sets up the machine and provides a rudimentary runtime library for things like screen output or disk access. This BIOS is written for 16-bit x86, same as / binary-compatible with DOS, so any good compiler that can produce DOS object files can be made to work here too. (Most bootloaders / kernels will quickly switch to 32- or 64-bit mode, but they expect to be started in 16-bit mode and expect to make calls to the BIOS to load their own code.)

This ticket is not about changing the compiler that builds VirtualBox itself.

They are just a lot less work (the platform provider does the bulk of it) so it's not that hard for third parties to support a couple of competing platforms. The barrier part is much less barrier-y than, say, desktop apps or smartphone apps. The space is also smaller and more constrained - nobody is going to invent an 'integration' as popular as, say, a snapchat.

I have seen a few cases where they build a client for the game.

It receives messages like a connecting client application does and sends messages to the server as well.

The downside of this is that you are trying to honor an unpublished API that no one promises not to change and no one will tell you when it does.
I wrote my own GBC emu about a year after you, and an NES emulator, working on and off, from about 2008-2014, doing bits at a time. It's amazingly gratifying when more and more games start working in it.

I'm going into Game Boy Advance now. Even just efficiently decoding ARM opcodes is an adventure on its own. Different timings and bus widths in different parts of the memory map....but a large enough map that you don't have to worry about banking at all. Although I suspect that it's fast enough that it might start making sense to look at dynarec/jit techniques.
If send a packet destined for "10.10.10.11" to "71.28.10.10", your router would happily figure out "what interface do I forward 10.10.10.11 to" and it would happily send it to the connected device, because NAT is not a firewall. There is no rule stating that "packets destined for 10.10.10.11 on eth0 should not be forwarded to eth1". That's what a firewall is for.

And yes, your little router, is actually a router. It will dutifully take packets from one interface, look at it's routing table and figure where to spit it out. That's what it is supposed to do, NAT just adds a rule that says if a packet comes from eth1 and is destined for 0.0.0.0/0 (default route) out interface eth0 then we (the router) want to masquerade as if we are the source of that packet, so that this entire network looks as if it is coming from one single IP.

No firewall involved, and packets arriving on eth0 are going to get routed to eth1 all the same, since after all, we are a faithful little router.

This is how routing has worked since the dawn of time. Adding a firewall means we can say "but I should never see traffic destined to 10.10.10.0/24 on eth0, so drop it".

---

Either way, NAT may be part of the firewall but there is no requirement for it to be part of the firewall. When it comes to IPv6, just like IPv4, a firewall is required, and as soon as you have a firewall that blocks incoming traffic, then NAT becomes meaningless.
Sure but it doesn't solve anything. Remember that people do not trade token A for token A. You don't buy dollars with dollars. You use dollars to buy something else, like euros.

So you may reverse one token, but you won't be able to reverse the other.

i.e. suppose you have $100 and I have 100 tokens (e.g. bitcoin gold coins). You pay me $100 and I give you the coins. I now double-spend and sell the coins to someone else. You now have no coins and no money. I then double-spend that and give the coins to myself.

You could at some point fix this and get the coins back, technically. But you're not going to get your $100 back. Nor is the other person. And the other person never got his coins. So both of you are out of money, and only one has the token. Theft occurred.

Moreover, even if you somehow both had the coins, they ought to be worthless because the entire system is completely useless. If a system can be compromised like this, the tokens have no value. Just like a dollar bill has no value if it can be printed, or can magically be transferred to a thief at the click of a button.

I used dollars in this example, but the more likely avenue of attack is for the attacker to sell his bitcoin gold for other cryptocurrencies like bitcoin over and over. Like selling an expensive bicycle to a customer but keeping the key to the lock, stealing it at night and selling it to someone else, a dozen times in the span of a few hours.

All of this is a major issue without even getting into the political discussion on forming a coalition and deciding which transactions were fair, genuine, worthy to keep, and which weren't. That's virtually impossible, particularly when there's one set of double-triple-quadruple-spent coins out there to distribute with many people making equal claims that they were scammed.

It's a trope of getting personal on the internet to say "you are the kind of person who".

And it's not like it's necessary to make any substantive point.

It's important to understand that a "51% attack" isn't an attack at all. No algorithm or protocol has been compromised. The system is working exactly as it should. This is a fundamental aspect of all distributed systems: if the majority of the network elects that the state of A is X then that's the state of A. There is no mechanism by which one peer can disagree and override the majority -- unless the majority have also deigned to follow that peer and recognize it as a "leader."

> Any non-colluding ecosystem should have centralized.

Not exactly. There's real laws and borders and market realities that prevent the ultimate centralization of hashpower but what's clear is that centralization is works, centralization is extremely profitable, it's happening and it will continue [1]. Centralization, I would suggest, is the true goal of bitcoin and is the inevitable conclusion.

> So why the pow?

I see what you're getting at but it should be obvious. The miners are paid very, very handsomely not to collude. Bitcoin miners charge fees that are effectively far greater than any centralized authority. They reap billions in profit each year [2] for turning on a bunch of computers and plugging them in. A cynic might say the "proof of work" is a marketing tool to disguise what is really just the mass transfer of wealth to the miners. Certainly, bitcoin holders believe that miners have somehow "earned" these outrageous profits.

NAT doesn't prevent someone from sending a packet to your external interface (eth0) saying "this is destined for 10.10.10.9" which happens to be a 10.10.10.0/24 that you have assigned to eth1.

Routers gonna route.

Firewall is the one that would block that by saying "Sorry, but I shouldn't ever see packets destined for 10.10.10.0/24 on my eth0 interface".

I've read more erlang than most of the elixir fanclub hackers will ever read or write. (granted elixir is a bit more terse, w/e) and I've shipped a functioning exploit that composed into RCE in a system that over twenty developers spent more than a decade designing, developing, and defending. Most of it was erlang. Almost all of it, really, except for some deployment routines and all the sql, etc.

I don't know the best way to solve problems, and I also don't know the very best problems that erlang is suited for, but large-scale web-oriented erlang is a mistake.

It's not that I want to hurt HNers feelings, it's just that I've literally seen this before. This whole thing is a rerun.

Just watch and see.

If it makes your booboo hurt any less, I think most elixir hackers are decently practiced hackers in general. If they had better beans, they'd make better coffee. The team I worked with were definitely top notch.

As for your question, I have no idea. I'm more of a problem spotter. My """solutions""" are generally of the "don't do this dumb thing" variety, with an accompanying exploit or kit or injection or whatever it is for that problem.
Last week's outage does look bad, and clearly would have severely impacted certain dynamic patterns of scaling, but "went down completely" does not match what's documented on that link: it prevented the creation of new GCE instances in us-east4 which required allocating/attaching new external IP addresses.

Of particular relevance to this thread, if you had a GKE cluster spun up in that region, that cluster would have continued unaffected based on that description.

GCP does have outages just like AWS does, but in recent years the impact is usually something constrained to certain products and use cases.

(Disclosure: I worked for GCP 2013-2015 but haven't worked for Google since then.)

I am probably going to get downvoted for this, but let me try. I am assuming, this is related to VirtualBox using the OpenWatcom compiler [0] for BIOS because it is the only reasonable way to handle x86 segmentation from C.

So this ticket is basically asking the VirtualBox maintainers to take a reliably working part of the product and to port it to a different compiler, retest everything, fix any bugs caused by differences between compilers and update the build process as well. So as an end user of VirtualBox, I would either notice no difference at all (BIOS isn't a performance bottleneck really), or will get a regression due to bugs.

With all due respect to the free software community, I would say switching the compiler used in a stable product without an apparent improvement noticeable by the users would not serve their best interests. It is also a bit strange to see it not in a form of "hey, we really care about free software, so we ported this part to use a free compiler, here's the performance comparison, here are the unit tests, here are the build instructions", but rather in asking someone else to spend considerable effort on implementing this.

If your municipal authority offers 'tours' of landfill facilities I'd urge you to sign-up for one. The scale is staggering.

In Northern Ireland, with fewer than 2 million inhabitants, we have one of the highest recycling rates in Europe ( about 40% ) yet still 400,000 tonnes of waste goes to landfill very year. 200kg per capita

The USA generates roughly twice as much waste per capita...
There's a question that you're missing or ignoring about how long the 51% attack is sustained. Sustaining a 51% attack for one day is very difficult, doing it for one week or one month is proportionally that much more expensive.

What you are talking about is PAT. PAT unlike NAT requires firewall to operate.

At an absolute minimum, I'd say "big data" begins when you can't buy hardware with that much memory.

Apparently, in 2017, that was somewhere around 16 terabytes. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/16/aws_ram_cram/ Heck, you can trivially get a 4TB instance from Amazon nowadays: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/

The biggest DBs I've worked on have been a few tens of billions of rows, and several hundreds of gigabytes. That's like... nothing. A laughable start. You can make trivially inefficient mistakes and for the most part e.g. MySQL will still work fine. Absolutely nowhere near "big data". And odds are pretty good you could just toss existing more-than-4TB-data through grep and then into your DB and still ignore "big data" problems.

Yes, for you and for attackers. Security strategies require layers, since no one layer can be depended upon to stand on its own. Removing NAT is removing a layer of security. Suddenly your firewall has to stand on its own. Good luck!
