Why would something changing mean it’s centrally controlled? Bitcoin has also undergone changes (although not as big as this one) and it that doesn’t mean it’s not decentralized.
Bloody hell, not in the UK. £0.15/kWh is pretty standard. If you go wholesale there are microscopic portions where it dips as low as minus-£0.10/kWh but generally you're still looking at 10p a unit or more.

Of course this is moot when you're not paying the bill, as this story says.
> we could do (very similar) analysis on "normal" bank accounts - on a much larger scale but still.

Would this be (more or less) forensic accounting applied proactively to all accounts? I know techniques similar to 'chain analysis' are applied in criminal investigations, but it's usually reactive (due to the labor involved and the need for warrants in many jurisdictions).
> Doesn't this kind of thing completely belie the usual claim that it's free from central control?

It's consensus based, and the core ETH developers have a strong following. There likely will be (and probably already are) forks of ETH that keep proof-of-work, but they'll likely wither off if they don't have a large enough backing behind them.

>we could do (very similar) analysis on "normal" bank accounts

I don't think so really, the fact that the ledger is public is really the thing that makes this is a credible model.

In the absolutely general sense of "if all banks around the world opened all their books and banking secrecy laws didn't exist, and if we somehow had the ability to trace through cash transactions" then sure, theoretically (and again not accounting for the absolutely vast difference in scale between the volume of transactions in the real world vs the blockchain), but none of that is even remotely probable.
Imagine how much code like this is inside our "lightweight" browsers.

All the code reviews that passed this on to production make you wonder how competent these browser makers actually are..

I think that the browser should not treat every input field as a personal info form for the current user. There are plenty of cases of web apps I can think of where disabling autocomplete is best user experience overall.

The context was reported at the time and it still means exactly what people think it means. Here's his attempt to clarify

"I was talking about people that went because they felt very strongly about the monument to Robert E. Lee, a great general. "

Trump knows full well that this is a lie. No one was there because Lee was so great of a general and they love military tactics. They were there because he fought to protect slavery. There was absolutely no "both sides" about anything. In context he's still saying protestors were as much to blame as the counter protest and the counter protest had as much validity to their complaint as the protestors. These is exactly what everyone took his meaning and all the context and clarification make it very clear that he meant murdering racists are the same as peaceful protestors against violence.

How to ‘build back better’ health habits after the pandemic year
It is very conditional. I make no bones about the fact that I absolutely despise the cult of stupidity that has afflicted the United States. It is the downfall of the nation. There is a paradox that the "MAGA" crowd is the greatest setback to US achievement in centuries and still will likely destroy the country within the decade.

So yeah, I _hate_ those people with every fiber of my being. It is hilarious that this thread is full of pearl clutchers who gasp and groan about how unfair this is, they're just patrons of the truth and non-partisan fairness...and then you look at their history, and they are precisely what you expected them to be.

This work is for people developing dedicated storage arrays, not your laptop. Datacenter optane is good for 60 DWPD. Given that it is most frequently used as a caching layer, it's extremely unlikely you'd exceed that in a well designed system.

> Republicans forced the depletion by sale of the US helium stockpile in 1995

This is an odd way of phrasing this. Not just because the bill was passed in 96, not 95; but it was signed by a dem president, passed unanimously in the Senate and via voice vote in the House.

So it’s not so much that “Republicans” forced it as there was a US law passed. There was no contention by political lines and it seemed all political parties supported the law.

The action was no more “forced by Republicans” than the 2013 act that “sort of fixed” [0]. (Also passed unanimously and signed by a dem president)

There’s plenty of politically contentious stuff in the world so that we don’t need to present history in inaccurate terms.

Wow, you're next level. Have you thought about how that comment reads to a worried parent?
One disastrous way microservices architectures can fail is when they stop being aligned with features and therefore stop test-driven development from working.

The promise of test-driven development is that there is a vanishing amount of code that is not under some sort of meaningful test coverage. Those tests have to target the smallest possible parts of the system to be efficient, else tests are just too brittle and slow.

Test-driven development works best for self-contained systems that represent the whole feature. Using it encourages architecturing the system in this way.

There are three environments where it doesn't work: graphical user interfaces, monoliths and distributed systems. The biggest issue with these is the huge state space to test and their comparative slowness. Also, they are usually expensive to set up and maintain.

> I don't think this is the first time I've read of a substantial change being made to a cryptocurrency. Doesn't this kind of thing completely belie the usual claim that it's free from central control?

As I understand it, what actually happens is it 'forks'. Like open source software - anyone free to use it differently or change it dramatically, but most people will stick with the branch maintained most actively or by the original maintainers.

> [There being another coin to mine] doesn't seem absurd on the face of it. Is there a reason to think this won't happen?

There are already loads, so I suppose no, of course it will/already has. The trouble is it needs a high enough valuation (with volume) to support the sunk cost of hardware to anywhere near the extent that Ethereum has for them.
Digest authentication allows passwords to be authenticated without sending the “key”, and could also be used airgapped.

You’d need to type a nonce into the dongle, then type the result into your computer.

TOTP is just a password. Also, in practice, the server has to have non-air-gappped access to a TOTP generator, so it’s not really air gapped at all.

Read up on the great RSA key fob recall for an example of TOTP-style auth gone horribly wrong.

I used to support a client facing app at a bank and the appsec pentesters were a joke:

* Username and Password fields must not autocomplete
* Username and Password fields must not allow text to be pasted in to the field
* Password must be at least 8 characters with lower case, upper case, numbers, and special characters (they didn't care it had a maximum length of 8 characters)

I straight up told our project management it was actively hurting our security, and was told the the point here was to fulfill a regulatory requirement to complete and resolve all issues from a independent "pentest" not to improve security.

The expressions against hype and the admonitions regarding unmaintained hobbyist projects on GitHub are okay, but personally I'm happy to learn about the tools on this list, and I'm grateful to be able to study reimplementing something we know (coreutils) in a language we ought to know better (Rust).

This doesn't automatically mean we would deploy this stuff when going to Mars; so I don't think some of the sentiments expressed here are the fault of the enthusiastic reimplementers.

(Looking forward to your reimplementations of coreutils in R5RS Scheme.)
I don't mind solving fizzbuzz, I don't mind take home assignments.

They don't know me and besides my CV they have to see that I can write code or see that I can use a computer. I can invest up to 2h into some task if I am switching jobs and offer/company is interesting for me.

For some specialistic roles I don't mind questions about specific technologies, just keep in mind that for example "Web Development" spans so many topics that we might have vastly different experience and questions that you ask or the way you ask them might not connect to my experience.

That is why it should be more of a discussion to try to find out common understanding than grill:quizz, shooting question and 0.5s answer.
Such as Amazon’s Mechanical Turk?
I think this is the manifestation of non-logical associations humans make.

When I was a kid, a teacher told me learning was supposed to be hard and unpleasant, and I believed her for a long time. Only when I started enjoying myself in spite of that did I see it was wrong, and I started doing well in school, and (more importantly) pursuing my own interests.

There's a similar thing with security - people assume good security must be painful, so making it painful becomes a goal. Sometimes this is sincere, sometimes (TSA) intentional theater. But either way, the result is intentional hostility to the people who use the system.

I'd bet money they have a one-sentence answer for why it does each of those things ("order is scrambled to prevent shoulder-surfing"), but have done zero testing to determine whether those theories are correct.

That would be awesome! The catholic church certainly has the resources to do that kind of thing, and churches are already like a sort of social network, so they have a very captive audience. They are in a unique position to create a social network that doesn't need to monetize through any kind of ads or data collection, and I imagine their status as a religious organization can even get them tax breaks.
I think his point is that a sizable portion of physical cash is involved with crime, that's one of the benefits of using cash so it only stands to reason- Yet everybody still uses cash regardless.

That assumes they can actually get the Bitcoin.

If they can't then they can also charge the people behind the electricity theft with a bunch of additional crimes about withholding the proceeds of crime, money laundering, refusing to hand over encryption keys, etc. If the operation was unprofitable that doesn't matter either - if the CPS determine you mined, say, 1000BTC then that's what you 'owe'. If you can't pay it then they'll seize your other assets up to that amount. That money is then used to pay the electricity company, government, etc.

The law is very much rigged against you if you're caught.

Depends what they actually are, some 'mining rigs' are just PCs with lots of beefy GPUs, so yeah.

Others are FPGAs programmed to compute the hash for whatever cryptocurrency (e.g. BTC is `sha256(sha256(x))`); they can be re-programmed to do something else instead.

Others are ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) based, physical chips designed to do nothing else but compute those hashes. So essentially 'no', but 'yes and they'd be very good at it' if you for some reason had another use for that particular hash function (lots and quickly).

That's also a progression of cost & performance, by the way. As the difficulty increases GPUs get slower at finding whatever coin, and people (pay a bit more and) move to FPGAs, and then again to dedicated ASIC hardware.

They will be able to trick you into typing it on the wrong site (more likely, wrong terminal) if they’ve compromised your machine. They just need to wait for you to log in.

Similarly, they can grab the shared secret from the server.

It’s marginally better than a password manager (though some of those support TOTP now), since they can’t pull all your credentials by keylogging your master password.
