Most cryptocurrencies failing is not an argument against them.

Most startups fail too (90% in 2019 according to Investopedia[1]). Does that mean no one should invest in, work on, or give a chance to any startups?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummingbird_hawk-moth

I've seen this insect in person and I was persuaded it was a hummingbird that somehow got to Poland. It's huge for an insect, feeds of flowers hovering in place just like a hummingbird does, nothing like an usual flying insect. It has texture that look like feathers and when it feeds it often looks like he has a long straight beak.

Only on photos or very up-close you can recognize some things don't match.

We argued for a few hours what it was until we found it's actually an insect.
I read about the NSA (I believe, or another TLA) having identified some weaknesses in encryption algorithms (RSA I think, though again, memoria fragilis est), that means they could just about break some cyphertexts.

The context was that, although the agency was committed (hmm) to making cybersecurity better for US citizens, and thus helping the cryptography community to improve security, they felt OK exploiting weaknesses, so long as they thought it would be too difficult for others to do so too.

Sorry it's so hand-wavy, I'd love to find the article for my own sake, but busy/hard to google.
That’s conflating what people present to the world with their mind. It’s a very shallow understanding of what’s going on.

Regularly BASE jumping is seriously dangerous to the point where almost nothing else people do that’s “living on the edge” really compares. Think active war zone levels of danger, but they don’t need to dress up in spikes to show off how edgy they are. It’s possible to come off as a calm high school librarian while still being an extreme adrenaline junkie.

Next time you walk past a middle aged banker type in a sports coat consider they could be a furry, you just don’t know. Assuming someone seeming normal is actually normal is being blind to the possibilities.
Or, just don’t buy “smart” devices whose software isn’t FOSS? Otherwise, you really never can be sure that you own a smart device.

The appeal of AngularJS was more or less that, somewhat like Rails, it offered a One True Way that mostly worked pretty well. Overcomplicated by today's standards, sure, but remember that AngularJS was a decade ago, back when jQuery was still king and anything like architectural rigor on the frontend had yet to be imagined.

Especially with a team made up mostly of folks with less JS experience, you could better sustain velocity because you just needed one or two people who could build custom controls and otherwise handle complicated stuff, and most folks were perfectly able to build and ship features without nearly so much risk of spaghetti complications as you'd find with a less rigorous framework. That made it a good teaching and learning tool as well; you could start off a junior with a base of AngularJS-specific knowledge, and then generalize that into understanding JS proper and being able to work outside the structure AngularJS provided.

I wouldn't want to go back now, but I did and led a lot of good work with AngularJS, and used it to great effect as a mentoring tool besides. In the context of its time, it was brilliant.
The only winning move is not to play.

It’s nice to be friendly and all that, but if I’m spending time on vapid, promotional activities on a platform that’s not mine and not very mature or controlled, then I’m subject to other vapid, promotional activities like deplatforming me to cannibalize my fake internet points.

I think it’s essential to focus on some skill based activity and work on improving that skill and have the community elements secondary to that. I don’t think it matters if it’s woodworking or mushroom foraging or anything, just have it be about something.

Otherwise I think it devolves into a negative spiral of screeching about whatever to gain attention. Without a value anchor, I think it breaks down.
Performance of the games is good, in your case the Intel graphics hardware is likely to be the bottleneck.
I was fascinated by a similar idea as a child, generating images of everything that has been, could be, or will be by exhaustively going through the possible combinations of pixels for some fixed size of image.

Later realized that the number of combinations were impossibly large, although in some ways the models that generate photos of people that aren't real, etc are searching the same space just with a lot of direction on what they are searching for (as opposed to my math.rand implementation in Adobe flash that produced noise...)
I've had similar results with 4x5" 320TXP. Some grain showed up on 35mm 400TX so my guess is the enlarging factor is what kept the large format film grain-free. I see the same effect using traditional developers.

Ultimately I didn't find any value-add with caffenol, since it still needs to be fixed, and the fixer needs to be disposed of properly. Plus, the results are better with Ilfosol 3 or HC-110 stand development.
As of December 2021, approximately 18.77 million Bitcoins are in circulation

Thousands of bitcoin would hardly make any difference at this time. A surge will happen out of fear, but not for long.
The above process I described I've been doing for over 2 years. I will be leaving them soon though.

Personally I've started learning since 2013, but I was still in jQuery/PHP days around that time. Didn't pick up React until like 2017. Now everything I do is JS based for the most part except things like Python/C++.

Professional experience about 4 years or so.

If you're just starting there's a developer roadmap (on GitHub) you might find interesting about all the different directions you can take.

Oh if you want to get your feet wet with ReactJS fast, I'd recommend Traversy Media's React JS crash course on YT. They're like an hour long. I say they're because he updates them per year.

Also if you look at the monthly HN who's hiring JS/React/Python are usually always at the top of the list in demand. Does depend where you're looking but yeah.

> Between a single malicious node and global observer is the simple act of running many Tor nodes, which is comparatively much cheaper and much easier.

And very ineffective, compared to a global observer like PRISM. Tor makes no secret that real time traffic is vulnerable to correlation attacks.

It's not a "bug" in Tor, it's true for any data transmission. And VPNs are way, way more vulnerable to such attack.

> I don't know about you, but a 0.3% chance of deanonymization on every route change is pretty unacceptable.

"unacceptable" is as strange word to use when there are no practical alternatives.

Tor would be more resilient if a large number of organizations and individuals ran their own nodes. We can encourage participation. Other than that, the best thing we can do is develop store-and-forward systems on top of Tor that resist timing attacks. Briar is a good example.

How is it paid out - in what account? what control do you have over the funds?

Can you even hold crypto in most retirement accounts? (In the UK you can't, I don't know about the US)

Because if it isn't an actual retirement account, you can just treat it as 0 money to retirement and some amount additional compensation.
> I also dispute that there aren't switching costs

There are always switching costs to moving even within an apartment condo, but when someone decides to move picking a location has more freedom. Just as someone deciding to move across the country have freedom to pick inside or outside of a city so does someone from the UK moving to the US had a lot more freedom to consider Canada. Rates of migration consider each year in isolation, but over say a 50 year period a large percentage of the global population does move long distances and most of those people have significant freedom.

I wasn't really surprised by the claim of the article but also hadnt thought about it explicitly much.

Bunchberries, for example, are really common where I am, and they're a type of dogwood (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornus_canadensis). It's really obvious they're a dogwood too, once you get past the fact they're not woody.

Also, "tree" can get really fuzzy really fast with different shrubs in between.
>The problem is that it is hard to express in C what exactly you want it to do.

The problem is: its very very very hard to translate what we WANT into instructions a machine can understand, aka. that are unambiguous.

This is an unsolved problem, and one I believe is unsolveable, because we express our needs in the constantly self-updating fuzzy-logic system that is biological organisms, which our language (and thus our thoughts) reflect. This system is inherently incompatible with the precision of a machine and it requires extreme care to get it right.

If it were otherwise, we would have long since figured out a way to turn natural language into code.

You don't need to find a specific private key, anyone will do that yields a public key that hashes to the BTC address.
> For whatever bizarre reason, Plex all but requires you conform to specific filename formats. I don't why, but this pisses me off to no end.

Idk, on Kodi I had to rename my files a certain way for them to be associated with metadata from IMDB & all, so I was used to having Filebot[1] doing the job for me.
When I switched to Plex, I didn't even think about it, I kept renaming my files with Filebot. Also I prefer the light and clearer pattern that is resulting from Filebot instead of having weird filenames depending on the release.

Cryptography is specialized (and counterintuitive) enough that perhaps we should just let people who know what they're talking about respond rather than repeating or just making up what "feels right" to our lay interpretations of incredibly complex topics.

I've developed direct positive paper with caffenol in order to get a nice sepia tone. In my experience, caffenol smells terrible.

Wow, I had this same idea as a kid too! I daydreamed about all the cool images you could generate. For example, you could create an image that describes the cure for cancer, because that's just another image, right?
I probably wouldn't elect to have my retirement account be in crypto, but not because I think it's dumb to do it.

My crypto portfolio has outperformed my 401k by more than 5x at this point. I just like to stay diversified and it's easy enough for me to put a portion of my own income into crypto, and dollar cost average so it's basically just a supplemental 401k without the government restrictions on how much I can put into it.
It's also out of bounds for brute forcing for any realistic amount of Dyson Spheres you throw at it.

It’s not that 256 bit encryption will be crackable soon. It’s that flaws in the implementation of the encryption algorithm will allow access to the partial key.

So 256 can become 128.

To be clear, the article states that such tech is not forbidden, but that is requires an import permit. Certainly the process of getting a permit opens things up to political interference, but nothing in the article talks about anything that "forbids" the imports, so this headline is not accurate, and does not match the article.
As they say "the unstoppable law of unbreakable code". You will become the "rightful" owner of those tokens, unless they happen to belong to one of the Not-The-Owners of that particular blockchain. If they are, they will just fork a blockchain removing your money from your wallet. Vitalik and Co already did this with Ethereum after TheDAO contract execution as designed, because their own funds were affected.
Nope, I've turned off online metadata. I've debugged it and the issue is that Kodi wouldn't pipeline the SMB read requests, so a huge chunk of time is spent waiting for small bits of data to arrive.

BTC addresses that have never sent BTC are not vulnerable to quantum computers as the public key is only sent when a transaction is made. The address you send to is a hash of the public key and irreversible even with quantum computers

In a similar way, there's no such thing as a reptile. An alligator is more closely related to a sparrow than it is to a monitor lizard.
I remember being very young and theorizing that video games worked by having every possible frame that could exist for the game loaded onto them, and as you pressed buttons the game would show you the appropriate frames for your scenario. I guess because I had something of an understanding of how movies worked, I just assumed video games would be exactly the same.

Probably not the most efficient method of fitting a game onto a Gameboy cartridge!
Quantum computers can be used to crack public keys for a bitcoin account yes, but an addresses public keys are only published when a transaction is made

Best practice for secure bitcoin accounts is to always send the entire balance when making a transaction, and have the "change" go back to a new address
There must be something I'm missing here. As far as I know, the state of the art is to use 256 bits for encryption keys, both for symmetric (AES-256, Chacha20) and asymmetric (Curve25519, the 256-bit NIST curves), and they are considered both fast and safe. Are they trying to ban some kind of post-quantum cryptography which uses larger keys?

For me as a developer angular feels like (I can be wrong since I am not some genius that works at Google) a tool for making hello World forms , like you want to give it to soem people that do not know JavaScript and have them write code using ng-if and ng-repeats, then on top of that you add a ton of magic that is implemented in a shit way so you most of the time you get n errors when soemthing is broken and if you are lucky you get some hints.

I used react a few years ago, this tool made sense, you create Components and you implement render functions(I even used it without JSX to understand it better), the nice stuff about react was that I could put breakpoints in the code and understand everything. I did not used React recently and I am reading that the develoeprs over-complicated it.

What was great with Flex4 ,WPF, Qt is that you had enough components in the base that you could write your application super fast, I would only create custom components in rare cases like when we needed to show some graphs and bar charts, and creating custom components just implied extending a base Widget and override the render/paint function.

Yeah, I am frustrated with Web frontend and angular, my latest issue was when i deleted some unused property of an object and a GUI just stopped working(blank) without any warning or error, I could not figure this issue in a few minutes so I passed it down to the angular expert (is still not fixed yet so I am not sure what caused it it and especially why no errors)

It's not at all what mining is

Miners aren't brute forcing keys to existing wallets and stealing the bitcoin, as that's effectively impossible even for the biggest mining rig (like, a mining rig the size of the sun couldn't do it in a trillion years)
The answer is simple: not every media file is an MKV that has metadata inside it.

Your solution works for MKV files. The Plex solution works for all file types and containers.

It's easy to see why Plex would prefer this way.
Thanks for the offer but... I know there's torrents of the whole lot out there, but for me part of the enjoyment is buying the discs (at a slow pace, due to budget), ripping them, and watching them.
I am interested on the simple technical answer for this. Is it possible to simply take funds out if you stmble across or happen to randomly generate a valid private key?

So if I were developing such a website as posted here ... I would obviously put an automated code that transfers any funds to my own wallet (if there is a non zero wallet discovered when rendering a page on the fly). Effectively just using the millions of global user's clicks as random seed spread over long time :)
> It's also why militaries prefer the youngest they are allowed to recruit.

Militaries recruit young adults primarily because they’re at peak physical shape but they haven’t settled into careers yet. It would be hard to build an effective military if we recruited a bunch of middle-aged men out of desk jobs and tried to get them back in young person shape.

> When they learn rules, they are binary about them. When they learn to lie, cheat, steal, they go hog wild with it.

Your post is also quite binary, without nuance. I also have kids and haven’t seen this unilateral sociopathy at a certain age. On the contrary, kids are relatively complex emotionally and are capable of empathy from a young age. That doesn’t mean they never test the limits, but they don’t (generally) turn into lie-cheat-steal machines like you’re suggesting, nor are they completely incapable of controlling their emotional impulses. Give kids a little more credit. You haven’t completely figured them out as an adult (or maybe you forgot how frustrating it was when overconfident adults assumed the worst of you and thought they had it all figured out)
Wait, do you also think international companies are above the law?

States very much care what's going on within its borders, if its via services hosted outside them or not. And in some cases states will even care about what their citizens do outside their borders. For example, engaging in child sex tourism can have legal consequences even if the actual abuse happens in a foreign country.

Decentralization isn't magic. States will enact and enforce laws within their borders and they will have more tangible effects than any so-called "smart" contract.

That is not a correct paraphrase of what chenzhekl wrote.

Perhaps there is a rule that prevents someone in China from implementing any algorithm they want to implement with any number of bits they want to use, but that rule would hardly be an "import control", which is what the linked article is about.
