System vary. I'm most familiar with Ethereum's, which is the biggest one in production.

It starts with a fairly traditional BFT protocol that reaches consensus as long as everyone follows the rules. These have been known in computer science for decades.

The twist is that if anyone breaks the rules, you can prove they did it. So everybody deposits some ETH as a security bond, and if they break the rules, any other staker can submit proof of that to get a small reward, and inflict a penalty on the offender.

An offense by a small amount of stake does no damage and is assumed to be an accident, so the penalty is small. An offense by enough stake to cause problems is completely destroyed so the attack can't continue.
I don't think it's bashing, I just don't think that it's going to be anything more than one small part of an overall improvement strategy, and isn't the most important one.
Along with what others have said, the system isn’t perfect and some marketers aren’t great at their job. It’s easy for recently purchased data to get mixed in with just about to purchase data. It’s easy to forget to exclude an audience of people who just bought, etc.
+1 the choice of Vue for the front-end.

I would choose a different backend (Go, Kotlin, F# but that's just me) and PostgreSQL or MySQL.

As mentioned: for you probably Python+Django (rendering pages, not an API), if you want/need a dynamic front-end maybe Vue+Firestore (or the like), 3rd choice Vue+Django.

From personal experience I can say it's very easy to get 'caught up' in the back-end tech and lose focusing on the front-end/product/customer.

Isnt this kind of like saying we should bring back incandescent light bulbs so people will heat their houses with them?

Like, I appreciate trying to dual purpose energy use... but I dont see a specialized computer that pumps heat as practical. I'm pretty sure it's going to be wasted watts too instead of using a real heater. My 800w box doesn't generate anywhere near as many BTUs as a 600w ceramic box heater. Even though I may joke otherwise. While on hot days in Florida, there is a difference when it's on or off in a room... on the 5 actual cold days we get, it can barely keep my feet warm. When I lived in Colorado... Haha no. The little office I had with a buddy, there were 4 servers in a room, either rendering or doing video analytics crunching. They didnt do shit when ambient was 60f, plus our desktops. Using bitcoin miners as home heaters seems as practical as Juiceroo was to "fresh juice".

Is that some kind of meme that I missed the inception of? I've seen that "temporarily embarrassed ..." a couple of times in the last week.
People were mainly just annoyed that rather than getting a free phone or some cash as a gift, they instead got the ability to choose a charity to receive a donation from Google (which has "value" but not monetary or physical value to the employee). The expected to receive a phone/cash so it felt like less compensation/bonus when they didn't receive it.

I doubt anyone was thinking about donation related tax breaks or anything like that. It was simply "sure I will have Google give $500 to this food bank, but why don't I get a new phone or cash bonus?"

Visa’s audiences are merchant level, spend/frequency level. Ie “users in the top 10% of spenders at jewelry stores”. “Users who’ve bought train tickets in the past month”.

Visa has very strict rules about audience size, and all the audiences are modeled. (Your criteria can’t target something like less than 20k users, and then they model that up to a few million users).

In this case either the store, the pos/crm, or bank used his purchase data.

You can make this into a somewhat nationalistic game and leave the domestic and foreign spheres separate. In the domestic one, the player is looking to regulate / optimize competition and collaboration to maximize output, whereas in the international one you're looking to beat other nations with favorable trade, attracting talent, staying ahead in research, etc.

From that, there countless trade-off themes emerge – industrialization vs. sustainability, regulation vs. laissez-faire, bilateral negotiations vs. multinational institutions, and so on and so forth
You seems to have a very 'personal' view of the employee/employer relationships. But i think the core of the issue is that for the last 40 years, corporation in general, have work very hard to "depersonalize" this relationship to the point where most employee have lost any sense of loyalty. So the way to see this is as a legal business relationship where every party maximize they own interest and they is nothing wrong about that. An employer should'nt takes is personally.
I see this weird dichotomy every time on asker news or in corporate america : Companies treat employee like a resources and try to extract maximum value out of them (like promising a vague bonus and giving only 30% of the target without clear explanation) and get confused when employee do the same.

> But to threaten to resign if he didn't get it, and then resign anyway once he did get it, is just poor form

No the bonus was paid for service rendered. After that his continue employment was subject to renegotiation. Let's not forget that the employment term were probably "at will" on the demand of the employer.
OP felt that his employer broke his trust ? Would you work with someone you don't trust ?

> That should not be a controversial statement.

I honestly think it is. And i think your statement are really pro employer and doesn't reflect the current state of the average modern employer/employee relationship.

> One can't be unreliable in a company, and expect that not to be a problem for future job opportunities.

That OP did meet his requirements meant he is not unreliable. If OP wasn't providing value at the company , he would have been fired a while ago.

Reliability, as everything has a cost, in this case it was paying the full amount of the bonus...

I was a big fan of Adobe through the '90s and early '00s and also noticed their devolution post-Geschke/Warnock. I wish those complaining about today's Adobe could have seen how amazing the company and their products were back then.
Predictable angry comment about the stupidly large ad on this site for eToro: apparently my thumbs are too fat to close it, when do I get my complimentary dialling wand?

So fat in fact that it opens the ad no matter what I do, only to be told that eToro is not even available in my country.

So not only do I see a massive ad that makes the article hard to read, I can’t even close it, and it’s for a product I can’t buy.

I hate this, and everybody involved in implementing it should be ashamed of themselves.
Glad you said this. If the 'government' wanted to protect sex workers a better strategy is what numerous other countries have done. Legalize the sex trade with strong provisions to protect the workers and support systems for escaping that life if they so choose.

When a sex worker gets a record for being a sex worker it makes it a lot harder to escape that life.

Having safe houses and required STD testing are other supportive measure for sex workers.

The government does not care about the sex workers in the slightest.

This is about censorship and control in the name of 'safety'.

Gives them the power to take a website down in the name of safety if there's ANY questionable content on it even if there's millions of users. They will cudgel sites with it to give in to their demands for data requisition and to remove messages that they don't like...or suddenly the site will be brought down by force of law due to one person out of millions posting something questionable.

Just like what Duterte did in the Philippines with his bloody drug crusade that also happened to not so coincidentally kill a bunch of his political rivals.

Anytime the government tells you it's doing something for you in the name of 'safety' chances are you're about to get screwed.

The average ignorant human's fear of whatever nightmare scenario the government and the media has created playing out in their head, is what ruins the world.

Hey, American here, I live in Kyiv.

Things are as tense here as I've ever experienced since I moved here in 2018. Most Ukrainians I know don't think a full-scale invasion is likely, but I think that's just because contemplating the prospect of an escalation of the war with Russia is too unpleasant. I know that the Ukrainian armed forces are taking it seriously, although as far as I know they haven't yet mobilized any reserves.

That said, a lot has changed since 2014. Back then, Ukraine's military was hollowed out by years of neglect and corruption. Ukraine's armed forces have undergone a significant transformation since then, and while I don't think they could hold off the combined forces of Russia's armor, air, and naval assets, they don't have to: they just have to make Russia pay dearly enough for every meter they take that it's not worth it.

To that end, we (the US but also Canada and Great Britain) have done a lot in terms of training and support, and IIRC there are units of Ukrainian Special Forces which have certified as NATO SOF. If I were a Russian tank commander advancing into Ukrainian territory, I'd be very worried about the Javelin anti-tank missile systems Ukraine bought from the US. Ukraine is also operating a pretty advanced Turkish armed UAV platform which could ruin the day of would-be invaders.

I'm not yet at the point where I'm considering leaving Ukraine, but it is a pretty stressful time. However you have to understand that Ukraine has been at war with Russia since 2014; Ukrainian soldiers have continued to fight and die on the contact line in Eastern Ukraine ever since. So to some extent the population here are used to the looming threat of violence from Russia since it never went away. Nonetheless, this feels like an escalation and that worries me.
What I hate about Bitcoin is that I have absolutely no idea if this is 1) a good dip to buy, or 2) the start of a much bigger crash. Everything I understand about the topic and the world at large tells me it should be #2, but in retrospect it always winds up being #1. Am I passing up free money today? Or am I smart not to gamble in such an obviously rigged game? Will I look back years from now longingly and wish that I had bought, or smugly and glad that I didn’t. I have absolutely no indication one way or the other. Source: played around with crypto a lot 5-6 years ago, got out of it, and could retire today if I had held.
Perhaps the threads can be merged?
> Often the individual isn't really that badly off or, if they're children, the money is being skimmed by adults.

This is a comforting thing to tell oneself but I don't think it's true.
Prescription data, at least in the US, is not very private. Many entities know that you met a doctor and they know when the doctor prescribes. Between PBMs, subrogation, wholesalers, and other factors, marketers are easily able to de-anonymize your identity for targeting purposes.

In my family’s case, my wife’s hospital admission and prescription was sufficient to correctly identify her as likely 10-12 weeks pregnant. Their confidence in that was sufficient to yield us a Fedex’d box containing congratulations and starter kits of enfamil, on her due date. Since they don’t read your records, just infer from events, they didn’t know that she had miscarried, and nearly died in the process.

I know this, because Enfamil identified the list used to target her, and I bought it for my zip code. I also learned that my neighbor 4 doors down has type 2 diabetes, and has expressed interest in a BMW or Audi at the end of her then-current lease. (She went Audi btw)

When people lecture you about various observational biases, you’re being paranoid, etc, they are full of shit. The marketing machine is way more wired up into everyday life than you can imagine.

If you purchased in the US using a discount card (eg: GoodRx), they get transaction level data from the pharmacy and can use that to retarget / market to you. It’s not PHI / HIPAA protected since it’s not flowing through insurance and is transaction data.

> They'll just find the next loophole now that this is closed.

No, a "loophole" that stays is place for years and allows enormous tax evasion is not a glitch. A legitimate "bug" in a legal system can be fixed in weeks.

Legislators work together with lobbyists to create these loopholes when needed. These are not glitches, they are the legal equivalent of backdoors.

No, companies will not simply "just find another one". There's a clear political intention behind creating new loopholes or not doing so.
I was able to get myself and my family signed up through UCI Health. But I got a friend, and his girlfriend, who drove up to the central valley (he's originally from the Fresno area) to get theirs. Another friend, who lives on my street in south OC, drove out to Redlands to get his. Another friend and his wife who live down here got their first shot this weekend up in Livermore, where her family is. They'll make another trip up north to get the 2nd.

It's all pretty dumb and arbitrary to me, the way this thing is being handled. In each case they were unable to get theirs locally, everything was booked with no insight into when the next availability would be.
Tesla has a relatively comprehensive set of first responder guides on their website. They are all PDFs, which might not help people in the field, but they seem like a good thing to print out and throw in to a binder in every truck. Honestly, if I was tesla I would print, bind, and ship these to every fire dept in the country.

Actually Deaf people have campaigned against a proposal to ban the selection of embryos based on a preference to have a Deaf child, because they wanted to be able to choose to have a Deaf child. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7287508.stm

The campaign was unsuccessful. UK law now says that:

(9)Persons or embryos that are known to have a gene, chromosome or mitochondrion abnormality involving a significant risk that a person with the abnormality will have or develop—

(a)a serious physical or mental disability,

(b)a serious illness, or

(c)any other serious medical condition,

must not be preferred to those that are not known to have such an abnormality.

Supposing someone didn't want food, I don't see that it changes the fundamental reality that they are homeless and begging. In fact it's hard to blame them for wanting a drink in that situation.
translating this into basic english: burning calories through exercise causes you to move around less otherwise (because you have less energy?), but tracking your steps ensures that you keep moving around as much as before (compensating the lower non-exercise movement with more deliberate exercise movement) and therefore ensuring that you keep burning the same amount of calories.

is that correct?
>How is Bitcoin a boon to renewables?

It isn't, but it could be. If we had proper taxes on carbon emissions; The cheapest power would always be from renewables, bitcoin miners would invest in renewable energy which would make it cheaper in the long run as mass production scales with demand.

Energy efficiency is not important in carbon neutral energy production, and in fact can stifle development and raise prices making fossil fuels more attractive.
Look at the row for option 2 in the data table, it will show you how many people preferred that option over other options. Roughly two thirds preferred removing RMS over "we should talk about this further", for example.

BTC Hashrate Drops over 45%, Xinjiang Grid Blackouts Blamed, Price Slides 10%
It could be up to 100k in a week, could be down to 20k or anything in between. I honestly have no idea which one is more likely and wouldn't be surprised by any price, high or low. I'm also very skeptical of anyone who claims to know what's happening in the cryptocurrency market and why.
Serious question: why does a reduction in hash rate lead to a loss of USD pricing? That's analogous to pricing USD based on the number of lights on at the NY Federal Reserve at 10pm on Tuesday. I recognize hash rate moves these markets, but seriously, why?

Funny. I just watched this video from 8-Bit Show and Tell last night: https://youtu.be/dG_oZV6s0Zg . This bug appears to be from 1978. Of course, we have no idea if this time was the first time the bug was discovered.
The strategy is extremely effective, especially for high-priced but rarely purchased items like dishwashers, cars, flooring, etc.

Consider: one of the hardest parts about advertising is figuring out when someone is ready to buy the product. That is why car companies bombard ads everywhere, just to catch you in the rare moment when you may be buying a car. Lets guess that maybe the odds of a random person wanting to buy a dishwasher is 1 in a million.

Now consider someone who has just bought a dishwasher. What are the odds they need a new one or a second one? Maybe the one they bought is a few cm too tall/wide/deep. Maybe it came broken on arrival. What are the odds here? I have no data, but I would guess like 1 in ten thousand.

The odds of you buying a dishwasher and then needing to buy another are much better than the odds of someone wanting to buy a dishwasher in the first place, because the hard part is finding people who want to buy a dishwasher.
> You think Tesla needs to rethink the fact that... batteries store a lot of energy?

Just as the environmental externalities of fossil fuels need to be internalized, so do the public safety externalities of the kinds of batteries in use, here. If its going to be a “price of doing business”, the right parties ought to pay the price.

Then, whether or not it is sensible to mitigate in manufacturing will be handled by the properly-aligned incentives.
