You can agree with decentralization and also agree that bitcoin is a terrible protocol.

Kind of how you can think the internet is great but think google is a blight.
I think that with google she resigned. She offered her resignation if her demands were not met.
> somewhere in the world with unused excess renewable (e.g. hydroelectric) power and setting up there.

It's true that miners are relocating to locations where energy can be purchased at lower prices.

It's not true that there are large reserves of unused, excess power that would otherwise go to waste if not for these miners putting it to use. Power companies everywhere are experts at sending energy around the interconnected power grid.

Miners running profitable operations have zero desire to establish expensive mining operations and only run them in narrow windows of excess energy capacity, such as peak wind and sun days.

The narrative that mining is relegated to purely unused, renewable energy capacity is an attempt to whitewash the massive power sink that is cryptocurrency mining.

Yes, but this information is useful in evaluating alternatives and trade-offs.
If you mean when registering for a new account, annoyingly you need to physically have each key with you to register it with a new service. Biggest flaw in the spec IMO.
I've used this service for a few years and really appreciate it. Mostly I use their app, which works perfectly fine, but it's nice to be able to download the DRM-free files so I know I'm not locked in.

Name the last American billionaire who fell off the face of the planet without an explanation that got traced back to the US government for critical. If it were true Theil and Koch (brothers) would have dropped out of the phone directory a long time ago. I think that sums up the way the chessboard is set up for for American vs Chinese style capitalism.
One of the engineers who helped run benchmarks and compile the report here. It’s worth noting that for the majority of the machines we benchmarked on AWS, their tested bandwidth met the published AWS expectations. You may have noticed that some of the “network optimized” machines fell short of the published expectations though, and there’s an explanation in the report about how we tried to validate our findings.

As you point out, there are a variety of variables that could be tuned to eek out better performance here, and they could bring the two clouds closer. Our claim, of course, only applies to the benchmark configuration we tested with. That being said, with the size of machine we were restricting our testing to (16 vCPUS), no AWS machine claimed to offer more than 25G of throughput.
I don't understand how someone putting non-hidden video cameras in their own private building is breaching anyone's right to privacy.

Entering the building is optional, even if you work there.
Ethereum is starting to use Proof of Stake which provides the same security as Bitcoin's Proof of Work but without the energy waste. Over the long run proof of work will cease to be used.
Glass always ran a custom version of Android. So like any phone, the camera could be run by good or bad actors. But, without hardware modification the 'recording' light would always light up to make those around aware that the camera is working.

And yes, the term "Glassholes" was used for 24/7 streamers.
The only use for cookies I can see is authentication. There are other ways to authenticate that I have used that have been way less burdened by security issues. Store an auth token in local storage and transmit it as the Authentication header for example: CSRF problems, works with whatever framework you want. Why do we still need cookies at all?
I don't think cloneable is a good idea. If some 3rd party clones your token and uses it to commit a crime there is no way to prove that happened.

There are other solutions. Being able to make one key a proxy for another is one. That allows you to keep your master identity in a bank vault, and then use it to "sign" the one you keep on you during the day. Should you lose your daily driver, just sign another one. This still suffers from the "one true name" problem though - if someone steals that bank vault ID, you're gone.

Another approach is servers allowing a client to register multiple ID's, and later delete them. Since there are multiple ID's, there isn't one true name any more. If one is lost you cancel it, and replace it with another. The approach is already built into the FIDO2 protocol, so they've already thought about your concerns and solved them, and IMHO solved them in a better way than you propose.

A more robust approach still would be a combination of the idea above: FIDO2 multiple ID's solution, plus proxies. One key could then provide multiple ID's to every server you log into, signed by different masters that are stored in different places. Keys can't be copied, but a lost key can be replaced by signing it with the master. A compromised master can be have all it's ID's dropped by logging in with an ID proxying other master. You could think of it as RAID for 2FA's.

> One spreads the load over CPUs better.

Better for companies running high-powered servers with economic benefits of scale, or for users running low-end devices? This is just dumping an externality.

Also, arguably, most performance issues of SPAs don't come from business-relevant calculations being slow. It comes from scaffolding, gratuitous, and bunch of other overhead that would not happen at all, server-side.
Russia and post society states used to have that car you want. It ran like garbage and required constant repairs.

It's quoted in the article. I'm not making it up. It is an employee, but that employee is not identified, so i don't know.
> Bitcoin has effectively failed as a payment network.

To fail, all of the 2nd layer networks have to fail, and it has to keep its position of a store of value, keeping transaction costs out of reach of regular folk.

If tomorrow there was a big price crash back to $1, and all transactions dried up, it would have a 2nd shot at being a payment network.
Since when does anyone have to use a gas-powered car instead of riding a bike?

This idea that Bitcoin could potentially use only renewable sources of energy is a popular narrative among Bitcoin circles, but it flies in the face of common sense. Crypto proponents keep circulating stories about miners using excess renewable energy, but we all know that this isn't the norm.
What is quite amazing to me is that they were so quick to fire him. I mean, even if he said something inappropriate it just doesn't make business sense. People say all kind of inappropriate things all the time. If a comment violates your policy have a chat with them and continue normally. Firing an employee is very expensive. Firing them over inappropriate comment is also demoralizing to the rest of the team.

I mean it's better to have some co-workers who are dicks, some that call you a grammar nazi and maybe even some who disagree with you politically than to play a Russian roulette with words every day - you never know which one is loaded and terminates your career.

I think you are wrong on all counts.

My “argument” is just stating facts.

How is it good enough for now, when none of the tokens are actually usable for their intended purpose onchain - and no one uses decentralized crypto systems for everyday payments? Our society relies on centralized server farms run by huge states and corporations and we see the result. Suddenly people care about Big Tech because of Parler and WhatsApp but these are just two blips in a long line of consequences of living in a Feudal society.

WeChat for example is used every day in China and has replaced cash for millions of businesses, and now you have a centralized social credit system, controlled by the Party, and anyone can be blocked at any time, as can those who associate with them. And the digital dollar is coming soon to your neighborhood, which means one account at the central bank, and yes most people will sign up. Meanwhile you’re sitting around saying 10 transactions a second is good enough... this is how the centralized state and corporation wins. When cypherpunks do nothing.

Enjoy living in a world where Facebook and Amazon and your Federal government OWN your identity, data, transactions and let you live as a digital serf under strict supervision.

But yeah, it’s all about “shilling my coin” LOL
Your problem is that modern "nationalist" movements do not have the goal of "this state should be run for the benefit of the people living in it".

It's "this state should be run for the benefit of <ethnic group>, and anyone else should be purged". It's about ethnic groups, not citizenship.

This is dumb. Even if you use Firefox, Firefox will be forced to keep parity with Chromium, which means that Google still gets to decide the future of the internet.

Anyway, I think that the situation has changed since Microsoft forked Chromium. Google will have to think twice about making unilateral decisions about the direction of the web, because Microsoft Edge is so popular.

I think that Firefox serves no purpose now, and Chromium will become the "linux kernel" of the web world. Just look at Vivaldi, Brave, etc.
tbh I've been using this method for years and the first one has never been an issue, because practically speaking you should only expect to give a single struct with a field or two filled in if that field or combination of fields is unique. You probably need that level of domain knowledge about what you're working on elsewhere anyway, so it has never been a problem.

I mean ... for the second problem that's broadly true of making any changes to your data access layer since by definition your Go compiler is not going to, for example, check the validity of a SQL query. So ... yes? but that's not unique to this approach, that's true generally.
The source of initiative needs to be drained.

Regulation of internet advertising is the most important area where regulation is long overdue. Because it's in the end of the day ad-tech's money that drives that whole evil machinery.

Not only that ad-tech created a surveillance infrastructure Big Brother would envy, also ad-tech wants to engage people with their data-acquisition tools as much as possible. All of the widely used free online services build by "big tech" aren't there to serve the users in the first place. They're there to harvest data from the users. Data that can be than used to manipulate the users. This data is than sold (directly, or indirectly in the form "manipulation as a service") to the actual paying customers of those companies. And those paying customers create the initiative for that whole madness.

As long as it stays legal to create, run and / or use "large scale people manipulation tools" nothing will substantially change.

But here lies the problem: Politicians are actually interested in "people manipulation machines". Only that they will make sure they are the ones that control this machine. What we see here now is just the battle over control. Not a battle against the root cause.
Absolutely - I'd like to know why exactly MS decided to make the classic theme unaccessible.

On early Windows 10 versions, you were able to re-enable it by stopping the window manager from creating the modern theme resources, I'm not sure if that still works but it leads me to think that they did it for brand reasons. Classic theme is distinctly "old" and they probably wanted to get rid of that conception.

But a Google search is specifically designed to solve this problem. Targeted ads, however, also could mislead, distract, cause overconsumption, and invade your privacy.

And if there was a better mouse trap, then any salesman would quickly learn about it (e.g. at business conferences etc), so you could just go to a shop and ask.

Finally, if you really insist that targeted ads are superior to anything else, then you could just opt-in to a service that provides ads. And you could tell the service all your private details so it knows how to better serve you (without the service having to guess at it).

Just don't assume that someone else needs targeted ads to have a fulfilling life.
For popular packages this is not that common. For less popular packages, yes it can happen, because maintainers are almost completely volunteers. Some years ago I created a port, then at some point stopped being able to find the time to maintain it. Eventually someone offered to take over, and I happily obliged.

The ports Makefile framework is incredibly sophisticated, so one can find lots of examples and be quickly able create and test ports very easily, especially for packages written in C, C++, Go, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc. Poudriere, which is the definitive bulk package builder used by FreeBSD pkg itself, is especially useful here. Ports that a have a billion vendored libraries are a pain. Ports are not allowed to download from the internet at build time, so all the vendor dependencies need to be known beforehand and be marshaled to download at the "fetch" phase accordingly. But eventually it all boils down to a very terse and declarative Makefile. What used to be a bigger pain, was the way to update ports in the ports tree, which used to require someone with access to the ports tree taking your new port and updating it. But recent news indicate that FreeBSD is moving to git and towards a model where port owners can each update their own directly, which will be huge. My personal opinion is that this will lower the ports maintenance bar significantly.

Also, for administrators, switching /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf from "quarterly" to "latest" pkg train of your version number (e.g. FreeBSD 12.x) will get you the latest versions of binary packages, as soon as their respective port is released into the ports tree. Quarterly is also pretty good, but you get only security updates and package versions tend to stay stable and change every quarter. I've administered systems switched to "latest" and seldom had any serious problems.
I’m sorry, what laptop charger has a brick that’s over 100W?
Well after reading your comment, I thought maybe the big win for neovim might be reduced (code-size) complexity. So I checked the code sizes for latest versions of both vim and neovim (from github):

- vim is at 900k (717k without po files)

- neovim is at 677k (562k without po files)

Savings of only 25% of code size is unfortunate. It's even worse if we ignore the po data files (only 22%). I would like to see a fully-capable modern editor/IDE for under 100k of clean, readable code. Until then, the quest goes on.
Why the Service Mesh Should Fade Out of Sight
Almost every place that has a projector also has an HDMI cable installed.

I haven't used a CF card in the last 10 years or so, but SD cards show up frequently. (Cameras, Rasberry Pi, Prusa 3D printers). For the Raspberry Pi I needed to use an adaptor because it uses smaller cards, but still better than no card reader at all.

But of course that's just my experience. If you use CF a lot, an SD slot won't help.
It was developed _by_ professors and students _at_ MIT, who then went on to found the E Ink Corporation (and presumably found an arrangement regarding the IP with MIT). This is the backstory of basically every startup founded out of a university lab.
Thank you for the reminder. I was overly dismissive and I'm glad you called me out over it. To be more constructive though, I feel like the intersection of the sciences and philosophy now is purely driven by these kind of articles which seek to establish that in the past research ideas would borrow from concepts of philosophy. Globally education has shifted further and further from this view, and without articles like this, no living professional scientist would know Hume from Kant.

This declining relevance is true of other scientific works as well, but that is rarely touched upon. I suppose in some sense my comment expressed my annoyance that only philosophical roots are rediscovered every now and then.
In my point of view, one thing is certain: Technology has advanced since bitcoin was launched. We can do everything that bitcoin can better and more efficiently with newer algorithms like Avalanche consensus¹. Given that our climate is spiraling out of control, i think it is prudent to switch to these more efficient technologies.

The bitcoin community is locked in a stalemate. Hard forks seem impossible. If bitcoin cannot be improved, i hope we will move on to something less wasteful.

It isn't problematic to note that there are literal-not-figurative Nazis afoot. It is descriptive.

The price surge we're seeing and have seen. More and more people are holding BTC like gold, so when the value rises their pockets get fatter. Not for any payment, just investment.

I even see it myself, and I don't speak for anyone in that community. I bought some BTC ~4 years ago to buy something and did the math on current value. It's kind of shocking.
Can you do this without Javascript?
Unless it uses some IE, Firefox or Chrome specific API. Or standard API's that has been deprecated. API's are constantly being added and removed.
> The scarcity of bitcoins depends on the scarcity of computational power

No, the scarcity of Bitcoin is hardcoded into the protocol. The protocol doesn't care if 1 miner or 1 million miners are validating the blockchain. The number of BTC is the same.

...as long as everyone agrees to use the same Bitcoin, that is. People could simply fork the Bitcoin chain with a different number of maximum Bitcoin and call it "Bitcoin 2". The scarcity relies on Bitcoiners all agreeing to not recognize any other protocol with a higher limit on Bitcoin, which is currently an attractive proposition to all of the BTC early adopters who would profit greatly from forcing the rest of the world to buy their BTC at inflated prices in the future to get anything done.

>security is as much about discipline as the actual security you implement

Totally agree on that. The author's main ranting about Yubikey is that it requires developing new habits, but that's exactly the point.

>they're not promoting their value to sites in a way that implementation is a no-brainer.

That's a good point. Although, poor adoption of hardware tokens even by banks (e.g. no bank in Canada supports Yubikey) is surely not because it's hard to implement. It's a "chicken-or-egg" problem. Organizations don't support hardware tokens because few people use them, and few people use tokens because many organizations don't support them anyway. Yubikey and other hardware token vendors could've done a better job promoting and simplifying using hardware tokens.
Gold is largely not currency, so I don't think this is a good defense of OP's argument.
