Yeah - it's not anonymous, the shill people didn't understand the technology and are wrong.

Every transaction is part of the public ledger. If you ever want to get money in or out from fiat you need some point that is going to require ID.

You could try and avoid this doing in person and cash, but if make any mistake ever your entire history of transactions is known.

Some people have tried to do things to obscure this (coin mixing), some coins exist to do something clever to make it private, but BTC isn't and the other stuff doesn't really work.

Coinbase is great because the original exchanges like "Magic The Gathering Exchange" (Mt. Gox) were amateur hour, they were routinely hacked and lost everyone's money. Coinbase was the first real company that showed up and did what they were supposed to do. They also made things easy with good UI.

I think this is partly because in the Mt. Gox days it wasn't taken too seriously, (most) people were playing with it because they thought it was cool not because they expected it to grow in to a trillion dollar monster.
This is part of the reason I don't publish my creative works. I show them privately to friends and family, but I don't publish because part of the creative process for me is control: I may not be able to control much in the world, but I enjoy controlling every aspect of things I create, including who sees it and when. It's been very rewarding, and makes me sympathize for people like Kafka whose work got published against their explicit wishes.

Looks like Terraform is really approaching maturity and the 1.0 release already on the horizon is a deserved milestone. I really appreciated the lockfile for modules/providers added in 0.14 and 3rd party providers in the registry being promoted to 1St class citizens. It enables saner and more modular architectures in an easy enough way.
On a related note, CDK for Terraform allows DevOps practitioners to use a variety of programming languages instead of HCL. I've really enjoyed modeling my AWS environments with Python using Terraform only as the engine.

Related question (if you don't mind another).

Why is 'str' a "primitive type"? What about 'str' means it has to be primitive, instead of being a light-weight wrapper around a '&[u8]' (that obviously enforces UTF8 requirements as approriate).
As Powell announced cryptocurrencies ‘vehicles for speculation’. It is mind blowing the cryptocurrencies are making bets and are valued without any sound reasoning behind them. How many companies actually use them at regular place? How hard is the barrier of entry?
This isn't really an attack unique to Proof of Stake. If a node goes offline they can lose rewards or even in rare cases have their coins slashed to some extent but that isn't inherent to a Proof of Stake overall. A decent number of Proof of Stake systems instead place reward penalties on pools/nodes that go offline. The idea being that it is a penalty for not maintaining sufficient infrastructure while also not being so severe that it could be leveraged in such an attack.

Most PoS algorithms I've seen instead reserve stake slashing as a penalty for malicious behaviour. Going offline isn't by any means inherently malicious. There are however plenty of actively malicious actions that can be detected and reacted against. Often for the more severe penalties it will require some level of community involvement in the recovery stage to limit opportunities for abuse.

Additionally, it shouldn't be easy to take a block producer offline and Stake Pool(or node) Operators should be preparing for these types of attacks. I've been watching some of the work being done in the Cardano Stake Pool Operator community and the various SPO guilds have decently sophisticated architectures. "Nodes"/"Pools" are broken up into Relays, Producers, and sometimes additionally Key Generators. Key Generators produce the periodically expiring KES keys and pass them to the Producers on a schedule (to minimise potential attack surfaces). The Producers actually engage in the consensus using the keys provided by the key generators and communicate through the relays. The Relays handle the throughput and communication. This allows the producers (and by extension the key generators if used) to be largely shielded from the open net. This also allows producers and relays to have a certain amount of redundancy/failover. An architecture like that may cost more (and eat into rewards a bit more) however they are far more difficult to DDoS or compromise.

Since the barrier for the hardware is so low, a 1x2x2 or 1x2x3 (keygen x producer x relay) architecture can still be more than profitable (retaining 25% to 75% of the SPO rewards as profit). Additionally this has the advantage that various other income streams can be integrated in (state channel operation, compute nodes, storage nodes, etc) over time and the operation can be scaled up without compromising security or requiring a significant re-architecture.

Proof of Stake can be just as secure as Proof of Work but it requires that the incentives be structured properly and sufficiently hedged against potential risks.
`str` is not `[char]`, there is no datatype `char` possible or which this would hold, and the name is already taken.

`str` is not a slice; this is itself already a wrong statement. A slice is a dynamically sized type, a region of memory that contains any nonnegative number of elements of another type.

A `str` is dynamically sized, but is not guaranteed to contain a succession of any particular type. It's simply a dynamically sized sequence of bytes guaranteed to be Utf8.

`strs` aren't slices; all they have in common with them is that they are both dynamically sized types.

`Vec<char>` is also not the same as `String`; a string is not a vector of `char`, which is already a type that has a size of 4 bytes.

This all results from that Utf8 is a variable width encoding, and since slices are homogeneous, all elements have the same size.

This is just nonsense. I am getting all the benefits of high liquidity and volume, my orders actually execute and I take advantage of the smaller spread. You can posit whatever you want, but the more likely explanation is that the volume is indeed higher.
There are docs for terraform which are fairly general and then provider specific docs as well (aws/gcp/azure/etc). We like it because it is easy to recreate environments and entire infrastructures. It also makes it much easier to review infrastructure changes.

>manually fix

You can if you need to. TF can ignore changes to certain aspects of resources like desired count of ECS tasks which might autoscale up and down and you can always make the change manually and then update the code to reflect the change. That's a bit of a no-no though. Like pushing code without a review.

Right - the point is that &str isn't syntactic sugar / alias / etc for &[u8] and it would be confusing to have a notation that suggested otherwise.

In C, strings can hold invalid unicode. However, in Rust a str is guaranteed to be valid utf-8.

For added confusion, Rust has a `char` type which is actually 32-bits. You can create arrays of them, but the resulting string would be in utf-32 and thus incompatible with the normal `str` type.

I also suggest a way to edit a markdown file as soon as I open the app even if it's not local as a little demo.
That both does, and doesn't solve this problem. If someone pays for services with stolen assets the ideal scenario is that the criminal is apprehended, the service provider doesn't lose money, and the funds can be returned to their rightful owner.

My way of thinking about this (which I think is correct) is: "&str" is like "&[u8]", except that "&str" is guaranteed to contain valid UTF-8.
Terraform allows us to implement development practices into our sysadmin lives. Such as code reviews, etc.

For example, at my work this is what i do to apply changes to our AWS setup:

1. Fetch the latest version of our git repo.

2. Create a new git branch named after the Jira ticket im working on.

3. Solve the jira ticket by modifying the terraform code accordingly.

4. Submit a pull request and assign one of my colleagues as reviewer.

5. They review my solution, tell me to correct some issues that there might be, or straight up approves my solution.

6. My PR is merged into master.

7. I download the latest master version and apply the codebase.

This way we always have at least two people verify any changes to our infrastructure, minimizing the risk of fuckups and ensures solutions are as good as possible.

I spent a lot of time in both sets of docs for sure (along with perusing the console and creating test resources manually to see what options and switches I might be overlooking).

I think tf really shines when you start using multiple providers to manage things outside of the cloud though. In my last gig I was for example using the workspaces feature and auth0 provider to have separate auth stacks for our different envs, being able to use values created by one providers resources in another's was nifty
you'd use normal "Page Rules" with a "Forwarding URL" - this announcement is about their new "Transform Rules" capability. read about differences between URL redirection vs. rewriting. :)
Because there's no possible choice for T. You can't use u8, because then you would allow non-utf8 data. You can't use char, because a &[char] uses four bytes per character, whereas a &str stores the characters in utf-8, which is a variable-width encoding.

A &str is really a different kind of thing from other slices. In any other slice, each element in the slice takes up a constant number of bytes, but this is not the case for a &str.

There are not too many start ups but they seems to have a lot of small companies working under an umbrella of a bigger company. It is a different arrangement in which the wealth is distributed as well as the management graph, I am not sure it is worst than the American system where one Bezos or Zuckerberg eat everybody's lunch. Japan just has its own ways, it is like taking a mind altering drug, how reality could be if certain things were tweeked differently.
Couldn't this be accomplished in a language like C++ using macros/typedefs/templates? Just make an alias for every single built-in keyword/type in the target language. Would be an interesting experiment, although you would still have to translate all the libraries that do the heavy lifting, which would be monumental effort... might want to automate it using something like Google Translate, and then review it for quality with a native speaker.

Good luck searching for online documentation and StackOverflow answers in your new bespoke language. You'll probably need an interpreter that translates your search queries back into the base language syntax.

Its pretty easy to from a tech perspective to tumble and swap coins or use a combination of both. Not only that but you can swap into different blockchains which have fully anonymous layers. So tracing a path is completely impossible. But there is one significant problem, tumbling and swapping 7.5 Billion is hard to do without creating huge market waves and that will be noticed. So you would spread it over 3-4 years and use a variety of swap/tumblers and it can be done. Eventually you have to cash it out and some off ramps might raise some flags.

I assume you are proposing to launch these packets from some other sattelite? Then by conservation of momentum, you will be boosting your own orbit by the same amount you are diminishing the target, right? Not sure this would be a very sustainable model.
I agree that you don't have to release anything, and I won't call you out for it. If you write a blog post about it though, I might participate in the discussion and examine your arguments.

Of course the problem of research is slightly different, since you have a claim, are trying to be "peer reviewed", and possibly were funded by public money.
Hm, I feel Rust's strings are the easiest I have worked with on any programming language but that might be due to my knowledge of unicode and of C.

The only thing which surprised me was the &str type. Why isn't it just an ordinary struct (called e.g. Str) consisting of a pointer/reference and a length?
There are a lot of VCs out there. Some do well, some don't.

I saw something like this happen when I was younger (this was pre-web, in the 80s or 90s, so I unfortunately haven't been able to find any online references to it): there was a big bank heist, and the stolen banknotes were new notes which hadn't been put into circulation yet. The ranges of their serial numbers were widely distributed by the press, and for instance cashiers at supermarkets were supposed to verify whether the serial numbers of the banknotes they received matched any of these ranges (since the banknotes hadn't been put into circulation, they were treated similar to counterfeit money: they officially didn't have any value). The country's currency has changed since then (it was the hyperinflation times), so that whole banknote series is no longer valid nowadays.
