no, the miners are simply said just timestamping machines (once they got lucky to find a fitting nonce).

If they don't follow the rules as set by the users of the system, their blocks will be automatically ignored by the users software [1] (while users receive blocks from miners following their rules).

[1]: there is one CONDITION to that, and that is that an economic majority of users either do run real bitcoin nodes (can also be light clients on smartphones that connect to own node at home or to external servers that do not belong to miners) or that the services they use do run real bitcoin nodes (and do not collude with miners).

It is about an economic majority of users, and not about a simple majority. There are higher chances that users with more value invested, will run their own nodes, and therefore will not be tricked by malicious miners, and therefore increase the value of the blockchain where the rules are followed (if the forked blockchain with infinite or increase supply were to have some traction by an economic minority, the economic majority could run a second node with these changed rules and sell their coins on that chain, that would make the chain the loosing chain, like what happened with "Bitcoin-cash").

Obviously everyone running their own node would be best, so that those nodes are not run by a small amount of entities who could decide to run software/nodes that do follow their own rules. That is *WHY* bitcoiners are sooo much against raising the blocksize limit, so that running a node is not too resource intensive, so that the number of people running their own nodes (knowingly or even better unknowingly) is as big as possible. Many do think that bitcoin is slow for technical reasons. That is not the case (and lightning could increase the throughput a lot if it achieves it's goal one day). Bitcoin wants to be "slow" to make it easy for as much users as possible to run a node (read: having a maximum amount of users (knowingly and unknowingly) run real nodes, instead of SPV-wallets that do NOT validates the rules and therefore can be tricked by miners!)

By running your own node, you mainly protect yourself, but a tiny bit also the rest of the users (long term aligned incentives, once running a node is computational irrelevant, or one node per family runing on the home router or similar).

That being said, miners, developers, exchanges, ... all can influence what happens, but the biggest power lies in users hands... if the economical majority run (archival or pruned) fully validating nodes.

Anyone who says front end isn’t bloated and it just feels like coding backend really haven’t tried either one of these or both.

Have you tried upgrading your React app that was 1.5 years old? How many times upgrading anything in npm gives you the worst nightmares?

It’s not just bloat, it’s the stress that front end dev brings. It’s a chaotic world, constantly changing for god knows why and the entire ecosystem does not value robustness and longevity. In fact, they've made it cool to break things all the time. Robust tools are considered "old fashioned". Apart from Angular, which is a still finicky, the rest of the dependency management is a complete nightmare.

I can easily revive a 4 year old backend code. Most likely without a single error. With absolute and 100% certainty, I can guarantee the opposite for any front end code, even Angular projects. Node js, the backbone of managing js projects itself doesn’t value backwards compatibility.
Consider that you might be the weirdo here. Kotlin is eating scala's lunch by specifically jettisoning the advanced type stuff.

> We can clearly observe circumstances in which the goal of political violence is to achieve liberal democracy in a situation where it is perceived to be failing. A functioning democracy is one in which political violence is rendered unnecessary by providing peaceful and effective channels for resolving political conflict. The existence of political violence effectively demonstrates the lack of a more effective channel for resolving conflict, and its existence does not say anything useful about the support (or otherwise) of those ideals by those involved.

TL;DR sometimes violence is ok, if I am not satisfied with our democracy. If people use political violence it must be our fault that they are doing it, not the fault of those committing violence.

I often see this trotted out when groups like BLM are committing armed insurrection, burning down court houses, police stations, etc.

BLM might very well burn down the MN state capital building if Derek Chouvin gets acquitted, at which point people people who were so upset about the Trump supporters protesting in the capital building will then cheer for another capital building to be burned to the ground by mostly peaceful protesters, because that is violence that they have decided is good violence.

The problem with this argument, is that you have lost the high ground. ANYONE who is unsatisfied with the government or society has the green light now to be violent. They can trot out the same definition you gave, word for word.

Indeed, if White nationalists don't feel represented in government, and feel all peaceful means of expressing themselves have been exhausted, why is violence wrong for them? Would you say that in those cases we are the ones to blame, for marginalizing their voices?

It’s not that it “stirs up solids,” it’s that a continuous leak causes the pump to cycle on more frequently. Your pump might cycle a few times a day normally; a running toilet could cause that to be every 30 min, and at that rate you could need a new pump in a year or two instead of 10.

Trickling your faucets (just a drip-drip-drip) for a few days is a small amount of extra wear on your pump in exchange for not rupturing pipes.

Sure, there are different calibers of senior engineers, some are better than others. Some are better leaders, some are better writers, some are better instructors, etc.

But, principal, staff, lead, and senior are all pretty much the same tech skill level. Promotions to higher levels are mostly based on subjective attributes, like leadership qualities, personable qualities, innovation qualities, etc.

It’s mostly HR process to keep more rungs in individual contributor career track. Way to retain high performance engineers in the career ladder, and show that there are more opportunities for advancement.

As a kid I read the whole Michelson–Morley experiment in a public library. It was a quite a peek into how the science of that era was done.

Basically you start with some base information(axioms and postulates), then you gather some experimental evidence for those axioms and postulates. You establish some rules on which your experimental and observational universe works. Then what follows is volumes and volumes of Math.

If Im not wrong relativity itself was developed over a decade. And I'd assume it took tons and tons iterations, retries and tweaking to make it work.

Where common people like us get lost is looking at Symbol manipulation directly. At that stage Math scares the day light out of us.

The right approach is to start with your own axioms, postulates, truths and symbols and start working from there.

This is really like some newbie seeing a super massive code base and thinking it could be outside their reach to ever work with such a thing. But if you look at it carefully. All there is to it is loops, condition statements, operations, variables and basic abstractions.

I've wondered about whether something like this could happen to the "Bypass Paywalls" Chrome extension [1]. However what makes me feel more comfortable (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is that in order to use the extension, you need to save a copy of it locally and then drag that over to Chrome to install it. If I delete the local version of the extension then it no longer works. Assuming that there were no malware at the time of downloading the extension from GitHub, does this mean that no one can "push" malware code to my local version of the extension or "push" anything to GitHub that could interact with my local version in a malicious way?

This is untrue. Do you have cached data to show the next page while still retrieving it from your backend? When you retrieve data how do you cache them so you don't fetch redundant data? When the user is offline or on a spotty connection, how do you persist and reconcile whatever the user does?
We tend to think of medieval and ancient societies as primitive, and what's often lost on people is how much organizational effort was required to build a bridge or a temple.

They had thousands of people working onsite and thousands more on quarries and in forests, this required many levels of management, dedicated logistics and payroll teams, all with paper or clay tablets, for projects that ran for multiple generations.

> I want to understand why society (including a great many moderates) are only alarmed by illiberalism when it's labeled "fascism" (and conversely why we tolerate illiberalism in the name of combatting 'fascism').

I suppose it's a matter of perspective. I don't know how much the sympathies for authoritarian regimes and the calls to violence on twitter would translate to people taking action. The calls for revolution just seem like role-play to me. I just don't hear this sort of rhetoric being voiced by people actually doing the work of advancing progressive political causes. Maybe it's easier for me to dismiss the illiberalism on the left because I genuinely am not exposed to that much of it.

> it kind of feels like we're trading the liberal foundation of our society for some short term political expedience or catharsis, and that's deeply depressing.

I feel the same way about the behavior of the right in recent months.

Yeah pretty much. I believe fascism is gaining political traction. I'm concerned about the increasing militancy of white nationalist groups and the significant number of people in the US who think the election was stolen.
Exactly. Several of us here in Houston are taking refuge at a friend’s house and one person in the group is from Minnesota.

> I just wanted to know what classes of information people thought the journalists might be protecting.

I just made a joke. You didn't get it (?), so I encouraged you to think through some possible answers to your own question. If you can think of more than one class of information that you wouldn't want your attacker to know you have, then you can arrive at the punchline yourself.

It's not too late to try it, by the way. Thinking like the attacker is a good exercise. The attacker doesn't even have to be real.

>At some level yes, but not at the level of this discussion. The ideas we’re talking about here are widely present even in pop-culture.

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but operational security would still apply even when you have to make press releases. Companies juggle this all the time, e.g. sharing just enough about their proprietary technology to attract new employees/customers without giving everything away.

React is a special beast, I don't like it, yes, it's a little bloated and no, I don't so much think it's quite suited to the front/back of frontend division.

Your problem with bloat and fragmentation though, is not about this particular form of division of labour.

Front ends change a lot more for a variety of reasons.

One reason the front end evolves more is there's more going on, and more detail. The backend is logic, which can be more succinctly articulated by code. That's what code is for.

Most code was never designed for UI, and even HTML/CSS was never designed to do what it's doing. A simple web form can involve a lot of cross-cutting artifacts and complex statefulness.

Even with a great set of tools it can be quite hard to get right, and requires a different way of thinking than on the backend.

Front end problems are usually however, narrow in scope - a screen can usually only ever be so complicated, whereas on the backend, true scale can make a lot of things hard.
