The galaxy isn't a rigid spinning object though, it's composed of many stars acting under gravitational influences. Like our solar system, objects closer in will orbit faster than objects further out. Rather than fixed structures, the arms are more like a standing wave of greater density.

>Almost all of these cryptocurrencies have been down since January and it hasn't recovered to those higher levels ever since.

True. But it is also true that many of these cryptocurrencies are still worth more than they were in January last year, or January the year before even with a 50% decrease from their highest point.
But they increase the likelihood by a lot. There can't be a perfect system (apart from no one crosses the border, which is not feasible for other reasons), so this is a pretty good compromise.
"The SiFive Performance P270 is an 8-stage, dual-issue, highly efficient in-order pipeline compatible with the RISC-V RV64GCV ISA. With full support for the RISC-V Vector Extension v 1.0RC, and combined with SiFive Recode, which translates existing SIMD software from popular legacy architectures to RISC-V Vector assembly code, the SiFive Performance P270 is an ideal replacement for dated SIMD architectures."
What a pointless comment.
Experts generally regard fruit consumption as beneficial due to the fiber, not so much the rest of it, and squeezing the fruit for its juice (or drying it) is viewed as a risk of excessive sugar intake.

In any event, in the case of coffee its consumption bears little resemblance to what would ordinarily be regarded as a fruit.

DCC (Digital Covid Certificate it's called, not Digital Green Pass) is essentially a spec for a QR code (as demonstrated nicely in this post) + an EU signing gateway which is used for signing the certificates. The EU acts similar to a CA in case of SSL certificates.
As I understand it, galaxies don't rotate like rigid bodies: stars further from the centre take longer to go round than ones closer in, much like planets further from the sun take longer to complete an orbit.

If stars that start off inside an arm remain so, but the outer part of the arm goes round more slowly, the arm would get wound 'tighter' as time goes on, and this doesn't seem to happen.

I think what's really going on isn't yet well understood, but it's likely to be that the arms are something more like a standing pattern, and stars do indeed move in and out of the arms as time goes on (something like the way a traffic jam can move more slowly than the individual cars that it's made of).
That might be true if Google's Cast and Miracast both got away with ambiguous wireless mirroring years before Apple even entered the game.
gpg precisely has valid signature and good signature to distinguish signatures that are technically valid from good signatures.

e.g. a valid signature can be expired, so it's not good or shit like that.

I always enjoy the amplification effect of marketing having a stake in rebrands has on how they're talked about. Company I worked at subtly changed colors and minor change to the font (a real font had come out in the interim). We had so much internal comms about it, and happy hours were planned well in advance of launch. Almost none of the engineers noticed the difference at all. But we'll launch major features with less fanfare.

> National currencies used to be backed by gold; now they're backed by the nation's resolve to support the currency. Cryptocurrencies are not Ponzi schemes; they can stabilize, while Ponzi schemes collapse. Cryptocurrencies however are backed entirely by convention. One could argue that nations are conventions, but they are bound together by a constellation of motives beyond their currency. Cryptocurrencies are isolated conventions. That is their appeal and their vulnerability.

That is why I object to the way it is common in cryptocurrency circles to refer to national currencies as "fiat".

Before cryptocurrency, there was essentially a dichotomy:

(1) Money that either is a commodity (e.g., gold, diamonds) or is backed by a commodity. This kind of money has intrinsic value aside from its use as money--in a post-apocalyptic collapsed civilization for instance you can still use your gold bars to smash in the skulls of people trying to steal your stash of food.

(2) Money that is backed by agreement that it is money, and that has almost no intrinsic value. Generally this only worked on a large scale if someone big, like the government, agrees that it is money and encouraged others to do so such as by making this the only form of money acceptable for paying debts owed to the government (such as taxes) or for the government to use to pay debts.

Until this century it wasn't really practical to have a large scale type #2 money for general use without it being backed by a government and so the term "fiat money" came to mean the whole of type #2.

Bitcoin and similar cryptocurrencies are type #2 but not government backed. By using the term "fiat" to refer to other type #2 money, it gives the impression that Bitcoin is not type #2. This can lead people into thinking Bitcoin is type #1. I've seen people invest in Bitcoin thinking that they are investing in a gold-like money because of this.

The dichotomy needs to become a trichotomy: (1) commodity money, (2) government-backed fiat money, (3) non-government-backed fiat money.
What's more appealing and addictive than hope is victory.

The addiction of the never ending "struggle" against the other side is rooting in the three step psychological process of Outrage --> Hate --> Victory.

Step 1. Outrage: Set the table for an outrage - some grave injustice that is occurring that can/will ultimately impact the reader. Hyperbole, cherry picking data, misinterpreting data, or even falsifying information are functional if you can do this in an echo chamber. This step creates the emotional investment in the event.

Step 2. Hate: Choose a target to blame for the outrage in step 1. Again, if it exists in an echo chamber, the writer can functionally use ancillary data, tenuous/indirect relationships, or flawed logic to tie the target to to the event above. What's important here is channeling the emotion generated in step 1. Emotion is important because it make the reader immune to entertaining opposing viewpoints.

Step 3. Gratification: Mobilizing pressure against the target is a bonus, but what's really needed is to be able to paint the outcome as a victory, even if it isn't. You can highlight how the "good team" actually won in some segment or district or demographic, and above all give the reader the sense of victory (or inevitable victory). It's always advisable to paint the target as in decay, aging, or fundamentally self-destructive, such that even their victory is short lived and self-consuming.

Then repeat.

...and if you do this independently with both or multiple "sides", you've basically mechanized a political system that has no material path for improvement. No nuanced debate takes place because you've convinced both sides that it's "all or nothing", and that victory is reliable. They are always winning - yet constantly outraged.

Any of this sound familiar?

There will be a point in time where there are just a few quantum computers that can break everything before the general public has access to quantum computing. Can crypto work in that scenario? Normal computers wouldn't be able to work with the beastly algorithms a quantum computer could handle.

I would have to dig through my boxes to find those books. They were rather dense and a little esoteric.

Maybe "generating space trash" would be a more apt analogy, since you're going from nothing to something as you generate it (unlike parcel of land which there's a fixed amount of), and the more of it that's generated, the worse off the public is (space trash leads to more danger while orbiting, more patents leads to more legal danger while doing business).

Why does "the web" have to be a targeted platform? It isn't one in reality, Chromium, Safari and Firefox are different enough that you have to target them specifically.

Seems to me the desire for having "web" as a platform isn't so you can also support a browser application. Its so you can make it a web app and call the job done.

Then your data is worthless to them. Nobody wants companies to abuse their personal data, that's why it's such a lucrative business. Companies like Apple and Brave get away with it by edging out competition and instating their own standards (see: Brave's Ad "replacement"). It's all so ridiculously asinine that it makes me want to uninstall every piece of software from my computer and use it exclusively as a space heater for the rest of my life.

I'm pretty sure that the reason Ukraine is afraid of Russia is not because the US keeps talking about "scary Russia". The reason Ukraine is afraid of Russia is because Russia did in fact come and take at least part of Ukraine.

I'm pretty sure that the reason Poland is afraid of Russia isn't because the US keeps talking about "scary Russia". It's because it's had bitter experience with Russia, going back to the partition of 1772, then the second partition, the third partition, then World War II and the Warsaw Pact occupation. If you were Poland, and that was your neighbor, and you saw what your neighbor just did to Ukraine, would you really need the US to keep saying "scary Russia"? Or would you be running for NATO membership as hard as you could, because of the objective reality of what had happened, and was continuing to happen?

This fall marks 41 years since my introduction to computers and programming. In the fall of 1980, I got to start using my jr high's DECWriter II teletype terminal (with greenbar paper!) connected to a PDP-11 40 miles away via a 300 baud breadbox modem. BASIC! FORTRAN! Pascal!

But I digress.

Looking back on the three decades since I graduated college in '90 (with CompSci as one of my 3 majors), there were three things which I saw as big game-changers, and became both a user and ardent evangelist for: the TCP/IP Internet, Linux, and Free/Open Source.

Today, it's easy to think of these as a given. But in the 90's they were not, with many battles fought, the outcome of which was not always clear, not always successful. Competing protocols, OS', applications and platforms, business interia and ignorance (not in the negative sense, but unaware/uneducated), and commercial companies protecting revenue flow ("No one ever got fired for buying IBM/Microsoft/Novell/Oracle").

I've been following Backblaze since the early days, they've done really great.
Yes, and the correct response is: of all the flights that have crashed and killed people in the last 10 years: was the slowness of the UI for flight operations the root cause?

The answer to that is: "almost certainly a very tiny one". Aviation computing, while externally quite boring, is exciting in the sense that tremendous effort is put into making a computing system that ensures a flight makes it from its source to its destination without killing people.

It's amazing how just a few accidents in the 50s, 60s, and 70s led to an unbelievable improvement in safety, consider that the IT systems are really constrained. Makes you wonder what you could do with a modern PC if you really tried.

I feel a little torn: renters who may have lost their jobs, being able to get their heads above water seems to be a good thing. Bailing out the landlords seems to me to be less of a good thing.

In a world that seems increasingly to tilt in favor of the fortunate (those owning the land) and offers little to the unfortunate (the renters) my desire for justice wants the scale to tip the other direction at least once in a while.

It's a form of nostalgia mixed with updated capability. You had a device as a kid but couldn't make what you wanted. Now many years later you actually can. So you do.

It's a do-over in some ways.

Also, modern platforms require a lot of overhead and toolkits and it can all get too much. Some of the older platforms are a lot simpler in many ways. (They're still plenty complex in other ways as well - don't underestimate the coding golf challenge angle either)

On top of all that as well is the ability to use brand new tools to build software for old platforms. Graphics/sound/code editors are now vastly improved.

Games reflects reality. Lower tax rates do encourage growth. People/business keeping more money means lower prices more demand.

The problems that growth creates require taxes (crime, traffic, population, affordable housing, etc).

Making taxes mean higher growth one would raise them to the max, get max growth and use the high taxes to buy solutions to growth problems.

It stops being a game because setting taxes lower never makes sense. Now you are just running a predetermined sim.

The point is not about valid signatures from untrusted keys, it's about invalid signatures from untrusted keys.

Some repositories are signed with multiple keys. People building the repositories might only have one key T as trusted, and then mess up signing with the other key U (imagine that one is an offline key - this is how debian stable releases are signed).

By verifying all signatures and rejecting any invalid one, it will be immediately obvious if the signature by U is wrong.

Also, as mentioned before, the scheme allows for rapid subkey replacement in case of potentially compromised subkey.
Even semi-independant seems generous. I probably would have just lumped them in with Google or Bing.
Yes, with major caveats - knowing the public key and having 100s of messages signed by corresponding private key. Nowadays people only expose their public key one time per transaction, and never reuse their address. So to steal coins, not only do you have only ~10 mins between blocks to find the private key, currently Shor's algorithm is unfeasible with only 1 signed message.
