I think you made a typo in your point #1, as you said something is the case of PoS, and then contrasted it with PoS, saying “This is not the case in PoS”. I suspect the first PoS was meant to say PoW.

Correcting that is the main point of this comment, the rest is just a side note.

I don’t really understand your point #2, but this very well may be because I don’t understand the proposed protocol.

You say “as long as they don’t double stake”, but if a given block is expected to probably be in the consensus chain, then either they don’t endorse it or whatever, not putting their stake behind it, and therefore, I would think whatever they do put their stake behind, if the block-to-be-censored is included in the long-run consensus, then what they backed isn’t, and so they get no reward, and so they lost out on potential reward, or, if they try to support multiple things, they lose (some fraction of) their stake.

Uh, unless they can be rewarded for supporting a block that is parallel to the block-to-censor even though the block-to-censor gets in? But that doesn’t seem right. I suppose there are uncle blocks maybe (idk if that is part of Ethereum’s planned PoS system or just its current system), but those have a substantially lower reward, so deliberately producing probably-uncles would still involve giving up rewards on average.

Again I could easily be missing something here.
Interesting! I think compliments given in general to fierce nerds is a valid idea. General rule of not to be pissing off people in life.

70M Jobs Goes on 100's of 1000's of Tablets in Prison
GTL, a trusted partner that connects those affected by incarceration with the resources and support necessary to achieve success announced a new partnership with 70 Million Resources, which helps connect people with criminal records with 2nd chance jobs.

GTL will include 70 Million Resources’ online platform, including its national employment site, 70 Million Jobs, the first national, for-profit employment site for people with criminal records, on the tablets it provides to jails & prisons throughout the US. GTL will also feature 70 Million Resources’ Commissary Club, the first social network for this population.

“This is an unprecedented opportunity for us to reach millions of men and women in prison,” said Richard Bronson, Founder/CEO of 70 Million Resources. “It’s enormously positive and productive when incarcerated folks start thinking about earning a living prior to their release. This helps us establish our brand early, so it can be part of a returning citizen’s reentry strategy on Day One.”

“Second chances are something that all returning citizens deserve & yet there currently are not enough resources available to help them,” said Jessica Artz, GTL Executive Vice President, Human Resources. “At GTL, we believe reentry begins at intake, and we are committed to providing avenues for rehabilitation and transformation. We see this partnership with 70 Million Resources as an opportunity to help incarcerated individuals better prepare for reintegration into our communities. Gainful employment is critical to reentry success, and now there is an easier way for them to find employers that believe in giving them this second chance.”

GTL’s innovative technology currently provides incarcerated individuals access to a wide range of content, including educational resources, entertainment, and electronic communication services. 70 Million Jobs’ job board features hundreds of thousands of “second-chance friendly” job opportunities throughout the United States.

Oh sure, but if you have the data you can hire people to get it done. The important part is having the data, if the data is there (meaning not encrypted) money and time can get it working. I'd much prefer to have a good backup media vs having to find someone who knows how to read faded data from a way overused and well out of date tape, but there is technology to get back data from such bad backups.

The important part is having the backup in some form. Having a well tested restore ability is a great idea, but not nearly as important as having the backups in the first place. Most backup programs are designed for restore, even if you screwed up, odds are you can get the data back later.

That's an interesting idea! Right now it lets you preview either the original file, or with the silence cut out (and you can quickly toggle between those). I guess this could be a third state, to only play back the cuts.

For my own workflow I usually play back the recording with the silence cut out, and tweak as I go. (The new version I'm working on has the ability to manually cut/keep parts of the timeline). It's way faster than what I used to do, which was play it back while making the cuts as I went. I'm not sure I'd personally want to listen back to only the cuts because it'd be easy to lose my place, but I could see how someone could want to do that.
What is your take on Near?
I think you have to detach to get value out of it -- not "what's the reason this person is like this" but "what are three different mechanisms by which a person might become like this". A bit like how a history student of a certain level isn't asked "why did WWI happen" but "contrast the materialist and post-revisionist explanations for the origins of WWI".
Yes, exactly. It's not a case of "rich get richer," so much as it's a case of "capital is continuously and irreversibly re-invested." In equilibrium, mining breaks even.
This. The example is particularly galling when you know that part of the story.
Vitalik in particular stands to gain from the system switching to rewarding those with more wealth in the system.

And shockingly (/s) Vitalik allocated a disproportionate stake relative to 99% of people.

The Simplest Explanation of Python Decorators
The consensus problems is like a space in wich each "cell" have a different distance from other cells and this translate in different clock and differrent perception of time for each cell. And the cells can have random locations in space each time and jump in space all the time.. Modeling consensus as celular automata is interesting but maybe is just too abstract to get performant algoritms...

One insight is that consensus in a distributed system is that the most important aspect is the propagation of information betwen nodes. Practically, it is enough if you have a protocol imposing some logical epochs and time (real clock) limits after which the nodes are not alowed to change their mind about the events of an epoch. When you get information about the changes proposed by a large majority of nodes ( and what they know about all other nodes) than any kind of total ordering you introduce will give you a sound consensus.

Yes, that is correct. Thanks for highlighting step #1:

> 1. Start adding value to the community. Do NOT talk about your product.

And you are correct, if he is not a climber and can't add value to the community, this strategy won't work.

Communities will ban marketers trying to market to their community.

So the answer is, don't market to them - be helpful and add value.

If you are helpful and add enough value, your target audience will seek you out to learn more about you.
Is it valid to take a data point of one, combined with a time element to get an estimate? For example Earth started gaining life shortly (in geological time) after it was able to sustain it. That would indicate that either life arises easily, or that it pre existed the Earth and got seeded (panspermia).

Then at the opposite end of the scale is the long time that it took for life to go multi-cellular, and for a space program to be formed by an instance of that life.
Even then, there’s the contention on memory access. If one of those easily paralleled tasks uses x% of your memory bandwidth, having more than 100/x CPUs won’t help.
Thought this was a neat trick, posted by thekid314 in the Halide thread. It’s not totally seamless as you do see the camera app open for a second, but it’s a clever hack and would work well enough if you do really want to use a different camera app. It also works from the Lock Screen as long as your device is unlocked.

Unfortunately I guess it means you can’t use the Camera app in addition to another camera, as opening Camera always open the other app (unless you make it ask before opening the other app)
Aren’t both things true? Miners can’t force nodes to accept blocks as being valid, nodes can’t force miners to include transactions in their blocks.

I concur with @Dah00n, it really depends on your definition of security.

Another great security-focused distro is grapheneOS[1^] and HowToGeek has a good rundown[2^] of some fundamental security configurations (albeit a bit dated).

(For comparison, I personally don't feel that "Only use Google devices" is security-forward. Quite the opposite IMHO).

Then again, if an iPhone is something you consider more or less secure by default, then the above probably does indeed cut the mustard.

The thread is literally "Are you satisfied with Elixir?" A big piece of that is me having brought it to a SaaS company and from 0 usage to 50% service coverage. So yea, I am curious what they'll do in 2 years—that was my point. It's a point that you're not qualified to constructively opine on.

Read something recently theorizing dreams are to prevent the visual processing part of the brain from being repurposed when we sleep...
There are discussions to lower the ETH collateral requirements. Right now there is no validator cap so that will lead to issues. The goal is to first set a max validator cap with a rotating validator pool. However, there's still higher priority items to complete first like the merge, unlocking withdrawals, and likely also sharding. Given that, it's liking like this change would come 2 years from now unless priorities change (and assuming there's consensus for such a change).
Genuine question: Who decides that?

>Then I joined companies and it feels like a ton of my time is wasted by processes, norms and ideologies.

I work in biotech and I smiled when I read this. The entirety of our business relies on people following processes, norms and ideologies. Once the "thinking" stage is done - the rules and framework are now in-place. You need to trust them and follow through to produce results for the company.

In tech so many nerds are constantly sharpening their tools or creating new ones and chasing some mythical 'perfection' that they lose sight of the results - the thing that matters the most to the company. Being entirely result oriented has changed my outlook completely, and made me a happier person. I am much more respectful towards people who produce actual results using any tools rather than judging someone who uses Java or Perl or whatever other language/tool that is not the flavor of the month. And working in biotech has made me value long term reliability over everything else. The single most thing that is important to me is that the tool be reliable and ready for me to use to produce results.

No, and again, these moving goal posts make this conversation more and more meaningless.

Epic wants to sell their currency outside of the app store. They're not allowed to do so by Apple's TOS. This is the same as Amazon saying a website cannot sell to users on the Seller's personal site if the buyer owns an Amazon account. It's just monopoly garbage.

If it were possible to buy from _either_ the App Store or Epic's store, Epic would certainly ablige and just include a 30% upcharge. Of course, nobody would use it (as has been proven over and over again), but they would absolutely include it.

It's "scheme + eTLD + 1", with a flag to set it to per origin.
I disagree, and think this could actually be a good overall optimization technique. If the product you are selling is overpriced (not a bad value per se, but maybe ~35% above where it could be) then the sales person should absolutely optimize for the immediate sale. You get to sell RIGHT NOW at a high markup, and any time you would invest later trying to close a deal at a lower price can instead be spent selling someone else at a high markup. There's obviously no opportunity to close later at a higher price, since by then the customer has had a chance to shop around and discover true market pricing.

This works particularly well for large one-time sales where pricing information is scarce and the relationship is less important. Example: sales for replacement windows, doors, roofs, etc.

It wasn't a lab leak. We aren't going to do anything about it. Something like it will probably happen again.
