Mining is a fairly efficient market over longer time periods, so net energy + hardware costs will naturally be fairly close to the value of the mined coins.

Which means everyone mining Ethereum can't switch to Ethereum classic, or it would no longer be profitable for anyone.
Maybe "we" ought to inform ourselves before mouthing off. Maybe we should watch some shows on Nature?

If you thought about this for half a second, you'd realize that guides are not killing bears, or else they'd lose their licenses and no one would be allowed to do it anymore.

OT (slightly): The Roblox captcha system is INSANE. I witnessed one of my kids' friends attempting to solve one and it was hilariously difficult.

It's a 2x3 grid of floating 3D objects and you need to click the square where two of the constantly moving object collide.

The login/account creation process must be attacked frequently and intensely to warrant making this captcha tool so difficult. I'll never bitch about "finding all the bicycles" again.
Thank you for the clarification. It is a multi dimensional problem, and I have found very negative effects from social media for myself and people around me.

I do not think that social media is overall good for mental health, it has been shown to be harmful in statistics especially for women and also there is no shortage of n=1 articles on benefits of quitting it. I think it is a serious issue when the teenage suicide rates are higher in the US (pre corona) when it is a wealthy country. If you can clarify, what is the problem you have with my post? I am posting it not only from personal experience but also with data to substantiate my claims.
In an "X is just Y" comparison, a good heuristic to determine whether someone is being a human being is to ask whether the comparison reduces the humanity out of the concept. This kind of thing is sociopathic.
more importantly, have you tried dithering then jpeg then zipping the jpeg file to make it smaller?
Because otherwise you can come and build me a website and I can gift you $10k and wow nobody needs to pay income tax anymore?
The propaganda of an elite class of warriors is useful. It's basically why the US Marines exist, and such stories are useful for recruitment and morale purposes. (Furthermore: Army can pickup on the engineering, supply and logistics problems).

But there is also the truth and history that we want to learn about sometimes. I think the Spartan mythos was useful to other Greeks, and the Spartan mythos remains useful today (in the form of US Marines).

But the myth is distinct from the real and actual history. It is beneficial to peel back the propaganda sometimes and analyze history for what it is.

Spartans did not win battles more often than others. Spartans couldn't field an army for extended periods of time. Etc. Etc. And yet we have these stories and written history of how great a warrior they were.

Thus: they probably were good at fighting (almost universally accepted). But war is more than just a fight. All the other bits of war were hampered by Spartan society, most noticably their illiteracy.
The attacker rings your phone company up, impersonates you, and gets your phone line added to a company plan where all dialled phone numbers are first passed to a company phone system to allow the mobile phone to act like an internal phone - so for example you can dial "753" to ring the phone in room 753 of your company office. Calls will only go to the external phone network if the internal company one rejects them.

Then the attacker can intercept any outgoing call.
That's not the same thing! Here the scammer's app is saying "enter the one-time token generated by your device", then passing that on to the phisher. Your quote is about letting the bank know that the device is in the possesion of the person they are talking to.
Literally Windows and MacOS has this built-in. But you’re right, the hard part is losing the token or it breaking. I slammed one Yubikey in a door, breaking it in half. I’m on my backup but I still find services where I didn’t enroll the backup and have to go through a lengthy process to regain access to my account (or create a new one).
It's not a joke, the prices are insane in large part because this meshes very well with the idea of compsability & permissionlessness that the Ethereum community is very excited about right now.
Right. I have a skill set from a previous job that I don't use anymore. I could get hired tomorrow to do that job again but I have no interest in it. I guess if we are saying highly skilled people can find another job then I agree but that wasnt the argument.
Crypto is absolute garbage. Just an idiotic solution to a non existent problem and only used my cranks and criminals. Get a life people

ServiceBell | Remote/Austin | Senior Founding Software Engineer

Hey HN! I'm Daniel, the Founder of ServiceBell.

We're the virtual service bell for your website. Our mission is to re-create in-store quality experiences, online. Think Intercom, but Video.

We're an early stage, funded Enterprise B2B Software company. Despite being pre-launch, we've seen sustained 50%+ average MoM growth, and already have meaningful MRR.

We're looking to bring on a senior, product minded engineer to our team of 4.

I'm still reeling from the three things I learned in this post:

1. Bertrand Russell studied the "I am lying" paradox, which I always thought was nothing more than a clever meme.
2. Bertrand Russell is responsible for type theory
3. That type theory came out of his study of the paradox.
The way I've learned to use git is to

0. Sync with remote

1. Edit files until I'm ready to check-in

2. Stash changes

3. Sync up with latest from remote

4. Pop changes

5. If there are any conflicts, deal with them here, locally. Possibly delete all changes and redo. Redoing is equivalent to someone checking in something at step 0. If this takes some time, move back to Step 2.

6. Push changes

If done this way, the only benefit of CRDT's is during step 5. One of the lessons I've learned and truly believe is that if something sucks, and it gets worse as the problem gets bigger, you need to do it more often. Git merges are a great example of this concept.

And this is where CRDT's are in trouble. The best way to make step 5 easier is by making step 1 smaller. CRDT's viewpoint is that we are offline, and therefore should allow any number of edits, and when we reconnect the system should be able to work it out. It flies in the face of smaller commits. The more changes you need to merge, the harder it is. We live in a world that's connected 99% of the time, and CRDT's simply aren't needed.

On the other hand, the "Offline First" model is great! A user having access to all of their data is wonderful. As the blog notes, it's not preferable for a user to have the entire Wikipedia or Google indexes on their device. So you need to have a use-case for Offline, and we need to do better about this type of stuff, but we don't need to wait on CRDT research for this. Smart caching and materialized views are where I think the real progress is going to come from, making things like Offline Wikipedia possible.
No it doesn't. Solving math is generative pattern matching. I once was very good at math and it's just works like puzzles in your mind. If you know all the trick that can be used to form solution you simply enumerate through them brute force (or something little more eloquent). It's just super hard to generate trick on your own and that's why if you miss single idea in math you are lost forever.

Also it doesn't take single human to devise these algos. It took whole generations of humanity. We are just approaching possible lower bound of compute power of single brain.

I think we might get program and proof synthesis in 1-30 years with this kind of progress and funding. AFAIK in 2048 silicon compute might get bigger than whole compute of humanity.

It's not a gift - if you take the position that a smart contract is a binding contract, then the payment is pursuant to a contract that itself was entered into for full consideration. Nobody knew how the contract would develop, but the same applies for many contracts - eg options trading.

If one wants to claim it's a mistaken payment, then the recipient needs to return the tokens - their legal ownership was never conveyed.

Additionally, you can tell the intent is not that of a gift because the transferrer immediately wants it back.
I hadn't ever thought about this but you're right. Best practice for sensitive services like banks should be to have no links at all in emails. I don't think that's likely to change though.
I'm not sure which shot you're talking about it, but they're always going after salmon (this was a zoom lens, of course).

Like I said, they quite often come up empty when they go for a fish. I'm not saying it's hard work, but it's not like pulling up to a drive-through window.

Maybe a stupid question, but where do I find the base64 encoded image in your linked token? The only thing I can see is a transaction moving it from one address to another, the contract bytecode (which I guess might encode an image but its definitely not obvious[1]) and the "extra data" hex in the transaction (that doesn't appear to be an encoded image either, from what I can tell).

I'm probably missing something, so if you could let me know where to look, that'd be nice!

Cryptocurrency has been through -80% draw downs multiple times in it's history. The question is, is the entire history a story of a pump and dump or are you saying we are currently in a smaller bubble & bitcoin should be ~5k instead of ~40k?

Why has it been able to withstand a draw down of 50% 4 times in 13 years?

Roblox looks like shit for a reason though. Because of that, the game has insanely low system requirements, since most of the players are kids and only have access to potato-level hardware without good GPUs.

> I don't think cryptobros and the rest of the world have the same definition of "decentralized" because clearly we don't understand each other

This is true of most of the common sales points: for example, you'll see people claim blockchains are censorship resistant or anonymous, beneficial to the global unbanked, etc. with little ability to explain how that's actually true in practice.
Raising money also seems a lot easier though. I’m astonished at what has raised 2-5 million.

An ontology describes the things in a system and the relationships between them.

By relationships, I don't just mean A is related in some way to B, I mean (for example) A modifies B, or A requires B, or even A eats lunch with B. In short, they relate things to each other using whatever the verbs in that domain are. Imagine a database schema, but with richer information.

In theory, if you have a good ontology, you can translate an expert human's understanding of a system to something a computer can also understand. So if, for example, you were going to write software to orchestrate the production of a massive film, or a commercial production studio, you might benefit from a common ontology for film production.

In practice, ontologies in the wild have had limited success, historically, compared to expectations in the academic world around the end of the last century.
> In short, over the course of at least five centuries, the financial system has grown more and more dependent on governmental support.

Governments have become a more and more important part of people's lives. Back in the day your contact with "government" would be the local squire/sheriff.

Nowadays you have general defence by a standing army, coast guard, air traffic control, health inspectors, health care, actual police officers / law enforcement (which only came into being as a standing bureaucracy in the 1800s IIRC).

Is it any surprise that they've grown into financial fields as much as they have in other areas of society? As civil society and civilization has grown bigger and complex so has the infrastructure around it.
Dear Bing, want to have me as a full-time user?

(2) When you ask me "Did you mean [blah]?" give me a button to push: yes, no.

You could literally do this by next week. I'll check in next Friday to give it a try.

I used to work for a Guardicore competitor, my recollection is that Guardicore didn't use iptables, and instead had a custom kernel module.

Which is good in that you have more freedom to add features, and bad in that it's really easy to break stuff with a kernel module.
