PoW, PoS, PoWhatever in context of blockchains are all consensus reaching protocols. An input to consensus reaching protocol in blockchains is a block hash. Consensus reaching protocol doesn't care if that hash represents 1 transaction or 1 trillion transactions, therefore throughput doesn't depend on which consensus reaching mechanism you pick.

so neither in theory nor practice, PoW has nothing to do with throughput, it's all just scammy marketing to sell you shitcoins. And in this case - extremely centralized, extremely censorable, extremely shady shitcoin.
There’s no way to guarantee absolutely, but you could wait to announce until you got lucky with a couple consecutive blocks if you had a lot of hashpower (pool operators).

It would be an expensive endeavor since it involves throwing away solved blocks, but could of course package many QC safe(r) transactions so probably a profitable service in a QC compromised era.
It clearly is in this case. Nothing YouTube is doing is anything to do with factual understanding - Google's understanding of the topics in question is extremely poor and certainly not justified with any medical evidence. Their FAQ on the topics simply says they'll block "medical misinformation" which they define as anything the WHO disagrees with. As the WHO has repeatedly disagreed with itself there's no way to be consistent with that standard, at least not without erasing all material from the WHO and its supporters too, but they don't do that. Of course they don't because in the end, this is pure authoritarianism. No fact-finding has gone into this decision.

I dunno man, documentation is way different to what happens in person. I’m sure you’ll learn heaps, but I think what you learn will be qualitatively different from what you’d learn in an office. Maybe not better or worse, but certainly different. Good luck to you though! Welcome to the industry.
Nope.

In hindsight, I wouldn't do it again. Reasons:

Storage is a problem for most chromebooks and the memory chip is soldered onto the board, so cannot upgrade it.

I bought an expensive MicroSD card at the time that is 128GB and can do 100/60 read/write... but the memory card reader seems to be soldered to a Usb 2 header.. thus it tops out at 30mb/s.

The updates to the OS and packages delivered via apt is basically very far behind, and many packages get held back. Kernel stays old too. I'm used to Fedora so it is really itching me that it is so far behind.

Keyboard is not standard: No delete button, no windows key, no function keys. This is a big problem for me and I didn't check the keyboard before I bought it.

A better machine to run linux on in the same manner, is the Lenovo Ideapad (S130-11IGM), it is also a celeron, a 11" screen and supports windows/linux out of the box with a normal bootloader and drivers.

Other than that, a 2017 13" Macbook Air with Fedora also works great.

What I really want is an 11" laptop with a Ryzen 3 without an active cooler (silent machine) + nvme slot + 2 ram slots + backlit keyboard. I don't want anything soldered except the cpu. Display can be 720p or 1080p.
Does this hold in the perfect competition limit? Doesn’t the perfect competition limit have profit margins of approximately zero?

So let's assume the science is bad, and policy is fraught with political motives, incompetence and distortion to persuade the public to behave in a way that policymakers assume (right or wrong) is in the collective benefit.

Now let's assume this has always been the case. At what point, do you ever trust a vaccine or public health policy in general? Whether it's a vaccine for polio, rubella, hepatitis, etc. at some point does the collection of bad science become voluminous enough to somehow equal good enough science?

If you believe data integrity issues are extreme, there's no way to calculate risk of vaccine vs no action. Your decision would depend on whether you trust your own research over the official policy.

But given that most of us have no formal education on the subject, no resources to conduct more accurate studies, no access to primary data sources, nor an educated peer review group to critically examine our analysis, the chances of major flaws and biases seems quite high.
But so is WFH! I’ve literally had a guy beg me to WFO. Surely a better world would have a diversity of options? Or are we one size fits all now? (That size being the one that fits you)

Baking something like that into hardware is probably not a good idea because then you can't update it when vulnerabilities are found.

'it will severely cripple the adoption', I'm not sure it's so straightforward as that, if large numbers of governments take an authoritarian stance on independent global currencies is there not a possibility that, while impacting network efficiency, it might underpin a new found desire and need for said independent global currency and instead drive adoption of currencies that have this resilience?
If not you, who else?
I've been in a situation where I needed to share a configurable Python script with a non-technical person. This would've made that much easier.
In the early days of Bitcoin, P2PK was used, where the public key is exposed instead of a hash of it. At least a million coins are covered by that. I would expect someone yielding a theoretical QC to attack those first.
I'd say it's similar to how games took a long time to transition properly to 3D. Most of the early 2.5D or 3D games would probably have done better in 2D. It's hard to say what was the first truly good 3D game, but at some point, we got Half-Life, then Counter-strike, and plenty of games now like Skyrim.

Heck, besides Angry Birds, very few transitioned well to touchscreens. Touchscreen only works because it's a convenient platform, not that it's better at anything.

I think it needs some creative effort as a lot of it is still groundbreaking, and people have difficulty thinking in the "real world" dimension. Remember, a lot of our current technology was probably influenced from sci-fi like Star Trek first. It took some inspiration for operating systems to go from pure text based to windowed, and some more time for users to accept it.

It's possible the first practical use of AR might be like the Iron Man scene where Stark uses it to view the suit in 3D and manipulate the controls. It seems like Magic Leap is working on something like that for education.
You have two systems, so you need to write a layer of glue code to make them work together.

The glue code turns out inelegant, spaghetti-like, hard to work with. So you spend a little bit of time cleaning it up, abstracting reusable things out, and generally systematizing things.

Now you have three systems, so you need to write two layers of glue code to make them work together…

To be blunt, yes, unless you're trolling. Nobody could like you, you'd be the laughingstock of the company. The literal bootlicker too inept to rise and just tries to make others miserable. I say try because I guarantee you nobody gives a shit, they all just cash in the paycheck and wonder why it takes the company so long to fire them.

It was also the most illuminating and educational part. Doing the same maneuver at 50, 60 and 70 km/h clearly demonstrated how small the margins between easily avoiding an accident and ending up upside down in a ditch can be.
Handbrake is great for transcoding! Not sure if it can do the more esoteric tasks.
There's plenty of accidental patterns in purely random stuff. So the thing that the pattern corresponds to, according to your brain, isn't really there - but the pattern itself can very well be.

You know how trees sometimes look like they have faces, for example? They objectively do, according to our pattern recognition algorithm for faces, in a sense that people will find the same tree more or less anthropomorphic. But it doesn't mean that they actually have faces, of course! If you have a still photo of the forest, and stare at it long enough, you might notice more such than you would if you just glanced at it briefly. Same thing here.
There was a post ~ 4 months ago about this experimental change, but recent updates to Chrome on the Google Store now make it clear this is no longer user configurable, with the developer settings to disable this (via chrome://flags) no longer respected.
That isn’t how it works.

There isn’t a cap on validators so you can’t buy up a fixed percentage of the network. More people can always join. You will be diluted over time unless you choose to reinvest(same as mining).

As we reduce the hardware costs and energy usage costs it becomes easier to participate in the network (especially via pools, same as mining but much much cheaper).

Being able to run a validator on a solar powered raspberry pi is a great improvement to making participation in the network accessible.
We should see the exact opposite of what you suggest, anyone who wants to participate not having energy or hardware restrictions should make it less Matthew-effect-like.

PoS increases both the cost of a direct attack on the network as reorganised/51s are more expensive to perform with slashing mechanisms in place, and also removes the threats of supply line disruption by either nation states or cartels forming to control the flow of the hardware.

PoS is great.

Well, just buy a used ThinkPad (or whatever business machine) then. My T460 cost me 200 Euro and will probably be good for two or three more years.

I'd argue it's just the word micro.

People draw the boundries out in very odd places when they're following microservices like a religion, but here's an example where it might not suck.

Pull out the auth service.

Should a startup with a single app do this? Probably not.

But as soon as your big enough that someones yelling at you to power multiple services and you have compliance requirements that requires you solve protective monitoring, you probably have a project for a small team of experts, a reason to run this indepedently, and a stable enough API that you can do it well.

Alternatively you could pay Okta & co in blood. :)

Yeah I'm a vegan and know a few vegetarians, but still caring about this stuff is still incredibly niche. I was generalising (probably too much) in my comment above.
> Probably for the better.

You say that because you're not actually living there.

Basilicata has always been desperately poor, and the Lucania region even more so. My grandfather left it in the '50s, when even moderately well-off families like his (who owned houses and land) still did not have in-house running water. Today is still topping all the wrong charts among Italian regions, and people still have to leave unless they want to work in tourism (and even there, only if they live in well-known places like Matera).

Like Abruzzo or Calabria, it looks nice and folksy when you visit a week or two a year. If you had to spend months or years over there, you'd likely get pissed off pretty quickly. Among other things, organised crime is a massive issue.

> in some areas in Asia it is considered OK to just let your kids pee on the street. But with historic sandstone in Italy, the locals obviously hate that.

Rationalization. When I was growing up in Italy in the '80s, peeing against houses was considered a bit rude but somewhat normal in a pinch. Gentrification and improvement in education standards have resulted in progress, reducing this kind of behavior in the wealthiest areas (which undoubtedly central Firenze is). That's all it is.

(I'm not denying that the locals are annoyed by tourists doing it, I'm just saying it's just classic double standards and love-hate relationship with that industry.)
It was very well authored and easy to understand. Unlike additional blogs I have read which are really not that good.

It's actually not a new wonder drug. It's an old generic drug that doctors have been experimenting with for COVID treatment for quite some time now, which has passed all safety trials a long time ago, and which is cheap and widely available.

You aren't aware of these things because Ivermectin has been the target of a massive campaign of information suppression, exactly of the type that is being reported on here. In contrast vaccines have been given emergency approval without finishing their trials, despite being based on entirely new technology, despite absolute risk reductions of less than 1% and despite that giving any medical treatment to an entire population including healthy people must always raise the question of side effects vs disease severity - questions that are also being suppressed.

For example, here is an open letter written by some doctors who have run out of patience with medical authorities and their refusal to talk about early drug-based treatment:

Only for the record, and speaking of Florence, the issue is not only the Chinese tourists specifically, the problem of tourists showing ignorance, bad habits and impoliteness is pan-continental and is only exacerbated by the (large) numbers of such visitors.

And personally I wouldn't be so "kind" towards wealthy westerners (including some Italians), they are often among the worst offenders, there is seemingly a sub-culture that make them think that a holiday in Florence is similar to what (as represented in movies/tv series) could be a spring-break in Miami, in certain areas of the city streets at night are often populated by drunk people partying till dawn with all the obvious consequences in terms of noise, litter, pee, vomit, etc..

There are various unicellular organisms that are cultivated either for EPA extraction or for DHA extraction.

Usually EPA and DHA coming from 2 different cultures are mixed into a commercial "algae oil", together with some vegetable oil.

Most of those unicellular organisms are not algae, but there is no better name that could be understood by the general public.

For example, EPA is extracted from thraustochytrids, which are non-photosynthetic unicellular distant relatives of the brown algae.

The only problem with the "algae" oil is that for now it is very expensive. In Europe it is 8 times more expensive than fish oil. While I eat mostly vegan food, I make a couple of exceptions and one of them is fish oil. I have tried algae oil. It was good, but I could not afford to pay for an adequate daily dose of it.

I do not know how much of this premium price is due to the cultivation costs and how much is due to vegans accepting to pay more for a vegan solution.
Facebook Group Blunders That Bloggers and Content Publisher Should Avoid
In my experience "rebellious" workers provide many, many, many ideas.

BUT, most of them are absolute crap.

However the needle in the haystack? Is absolutely great. So the challenge is to not let yourself be led down the path of the crap ideas -- which happens more than what we would like to admit.
You must be too cynical and jaded then because at 41 y/o with a family and a fair amount of life struggles under my belt I still can't see your point.

With programmers in particular it's painfully obvious if they work or not. You are expending tons of unnecessary (human) energy to maybe scoop 5-10% more productivity. It's not worth it.

There are also a lot of people who work better (and more!) when they feel free.

I mean, you do you of course, but consider that you're only surrounding yourself with one kind of people and are missing out on everybody else -- and no, they are not slackers.
In my experience, your message would get buried or you would get bullied to the point where you leave the forum, nowadays it's done via downvotes. I don't see much of a difference, other than that the new way produces less noise.
I found this interesting YouTube talk from a few months ago titled "Open drivers for Arm GPUs" from the author of this article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYCGVzkSIpg&list=PLZjq3una5S...

The key thing about open-source drivers is they retain compatibility with newer Linux kernels, and receive bug fixes and improvements long after the original vendor has lost interest. This reduces e-waste and allows system integrators (like Google with Chromebooks) to easily maintain their hardware far longer than Broadcom, Qualcomm and ARM itself ever would.

It's great that shipping open-source drivers over the proprietary one is fast becoming the norm not the outlier. And this change is not because of hippie free software ideals, but because of cold-hearted business reasons.
This was surprisingly entertaining, I can’t believe I read through all of it!

No. The mechanism described absolutely not.

The paper starts with the fact that tumor acidosis promotes disease progression through a stimulation of fatty acid metabolism in cancer cells.

Instead of blocking fatty acids, they test a hypothesis that excess uptake of specific fatty acid could have antitumor effects.
Another thing this misses is that experiencing pain when you have complete control over it is totally different than experiencing pain when you have no control over it.

In one book I read about childhood trauma, it related an experiment they did where they put two rats in side-by-side cages, but they couldn't see each other. One rat had a lever; when they pushed the lever, both rats would get an electric shock, and both rats would receive a pellet of food. The rat with the lever quickly figured out the deal: Whenever I push the lever, I get shocked, but I get food: painful, but predictable and under its control. It adapted to the situation completely fine.

The other rat's physical sensations were exactly the same: it was shocked at exactly the same painfulness and degree as the rat with the lever, and received the same amount of food. But its psychological sensations were very different: It had no control over when the shocks would happen, nor any way to predict them. It basically withdrew and became a nervous wreck.

The point was: We can actually endure an awful lot of suffering if we can predict when it's going to happen, and particularly if we have some control over when it happens.

The author described the experiment to explain the behavior of one of the children in the book. A girl's mother started dating a man who began, occasionally, to get very drunk and then sexually molest the girl; after which he would be very apologetic and remoreseful, until the next time he got drunk. In response, the girl started getting the boyfriend drunk on purpose. The idea (surmised the psychologist author) was: I can't stop it from happening, but at least this way I can control when it happens, which makes it much more tolerable.

If they'd given people the option to either sit in a chair and be randomly shocked without warning, or to stand, I'm willing to bet that far fewer of the men would have sat in the chair.
