This problem exists with cash. We teach people to not keep too much cash on them, but to keep it in a bank where it is safer.

You could get a credit card, too, and then it’s not even your money that you are spending! or your money that you lost to fraud.

I can see both of these existing in the crypto world in some form, the same way they exist in the fiat world

as for the banks and institutions and companies losing all of their money? that’s a new blockchain problem for sure
You might want to check out https://github.com/monicahq/monica. Requires an upkeep but the UX is great.
Part of the transaction I described (which was personal) involved a bank transfer between two EU states, and it's simply not true. It's not instantly, doesn't work 24/7 (a transaction made on Friday arrived on Tuesday), and you have to find plenty of tricks to avoid high fees and super bad exchange rates (EU has more than one currency, you know).
I voted company culture, but that's not the whole picture.

I was laid off about a month ago (2 weeks before Christmas; "non-performance business-related decision"), but I was job searching anyway. Why? Because nobody freakin' listened, and my position wasn't taken seriously. Call it strategy misalignment, bad culture, whatever.

After joining, I learned they had 4 CIOs within 3 years. As a mid/sr. level engineer, I was teaching senior management about my position while also learning about it myself. I still don't know how many they laid off during the annual review period, but it was at least several to a couple dozen.

I'm done. I know now why so many retire early to farms, baking, wood working, homesteading, etc. Corporate can have their BS.
Workplace Adjustments for Autistic Employees: What Is ‘Reasonable’?
Nah, this is also why the Linux desktop is behind. On Windows I build on win10 VMs with the very latest C++20 features and can ship back to Win7 because Windows does not idiotically tie a compiler version to an operating system.

Open-source has the great advantage that it's auditable by everyone, hence the trust is distributed.

That's a comment for open-source in general, not about blockchains.
Have you tried formal computer science training? Learning programming through copying from StackOverflow sounds to me like about as good idea as learning piano by watching Synthesia videos on Youtube.
> My understanding is that a blockchain is supposed to be distributed, trustless, permissionless, immutable and open.

A blockchain is just a data structure. That description is more befitting of Decentralized Finance/DeFi
Hope he put a sensor outside his home as a control to rule out outside sources. Air pollution pools at night and the early morning 6-7 am is the worst time to go running anywhere remotely near freeways.
Thanks for doing this, it's a great response to the current trend in providing endless of css and js just to display basic sites
I'm not sure that's the case. I'm no expert but I believe those entities exist in part to take liability away from us as individuals. It's my understanding that, for example, in certain cases of privacy and security regulation I would be personally liable as an individual without an entity to undertake it for me. This could change by country and entity type though, even in the EU.
I could mock all day but it would not be any help since the api's we use are brittle its much more efficient to fail in a graceful way where you can recover than plastering the codebase with mocks of happy paths
I believe what is meant here is that there is long term use of such substances so we can be sure if it's safety

For example there are studies of very long term Ayahuasca use in certain south American tribes . Blood tests were taken and studied to see it's effects on them.

Another one is use of iboga in other tribes in Ghana
Ah yes, the specific form. Frankly given than in France test are valid only 24 hours for the "fuck your freedom pass" the 72 hours validity feels a long time and making an additional paper filled wasn't too much annoying. The highest ranking personal in the laboratory (not a doctor) signed and that was ok. I guess Japanese car more about the seal part.
I think most people don't get the dichotomy, and misconstrue things by attempting comparisons to a historic precedence. The truth is there is none. The breakthrough is fundamentally a trusted centralised store, which is decentralised in topology. No single person or organisation is in control, a self sufficient network, gamed into existence.

I am still surprised people continue to be still so enamoured by the financial aspects, which is the all important fuel to keep the engine going. Greed is a hell of a motivating factor though.

IMHO this is just the first generation, it will evolve in ways we cannot predict, but it is revolutionary and challenges banks and financial institutions to the core.
If the developer introduces a major change, it'll fork the chain. Everyone on the old version of the software will see one chain, everyone on the new version will see the new chain. If not many people switch, the old chain will be the valuable one. So it's kind of a voting system where the community as a whole votes. If the vote isn't decisive, both chains have value.

As far as purchasing stuff, there's no central purchaser that I can think of.
Thanks. So pretty traditional in that respect - sounds like a nice example of getting both worlds to work. In my work I also see this kind of "non-maximalist" use cases as the more successful at the moment.
But polling multiple futures independent of each other inside of a future is a thing (like join, race, etc.).

And that means that just because you get "Pending" (i.e. not ready) from one of the futures, doesn't mean you should return Pending now. I only means this future is not ready, but other futures might still be ready.

But in tokio it means this future is not ready, and we magically as a side-effect might have forced all other futures to be non-ready even if they are.

Which means tokio redefined what Pending means in a subtle but potentially massively-braking way.

Which is a problem.

And not a problem of futures-rs, but one of tokio.

And forcing all of the eco-system to increase the complexity of their code by trying to subtile detect weather something yielded or was force yielded IS NOT OK. That's not how rust standarized yielding or polling.
The satellite imagery is incredible -- you can see atmospheric waves traveling hundreds of kilometers:

You can't trust a central database but you can trust a central blockchain? A proof of work blockchain which is trustless and permissionless and has many nodes can be trusted to be tamperproof and immutable, but it is also slow and inefficient (thanks to PoW). A PoW blockchain is inefficient by deaign, it's a feature not a bug beucase that is what gives it's trust without trusting.

But when you make that blockchain private, trustful, and permissioned (only designated nodes can add blocks) you are taking away the very properties that make the blockchain immutable. And it has to be done because that is what enterprises would want. So an enterprise blockchain like Corda/Hyperledger is no different than a central database. And no serious business least of all banks would do their business on a public truly distributed open blockchain.

While not fully features and comes with caveats, it is already a stepping stone to experiment.

Others will tell you to learn Vulkan and use MoltenVK for the iPad.

Now, I would rather advise to pick a middleware like Ogre 3D, Unity, Unreal, specially if you are getting into the field.

Then you can consider if it is worthwhile the monetary investment to carry on.
Typical propaganda by a Modi hating, American owned and Soros funded rag. They can’t beat Modi at polls - so one day we have Jan 6 style Maidan Color revolution to overthrow Modi, next they try to get him lynched on Jan 5 in Punjab by blocking his motorcade for 20 minutes near the Pakistani border.

These so called reporters are inimical toward India, write incendiary lies and collaborate with Pakistan, Jihadis and Soros style ngos. So if you gonna dish it out you better take it too from the people as that is democracy. They indulge in worst kind of Twitter tricks using fake videos and fake news weekly.
Actually in C++ the vast majority of the time, the right thing to do is

Foo foo{args};

Which is simpler than the other cases, more correct and more performant. The rare few times dynamic allocation of something that is not an array with new is needed is when you have polymorphic types - but then, the user code generally calls a factory function instead of new.
thats the legal framework in place bit.

Until the first person gets tricked into signing over his property for free...then suddenly, all these lawyers, agencies and notaries are back on the track again, because it turns out they were there for a good reason the entire time: To make sure its really really really hard to get someone to hand over his home via something like a typo or a misclick.
Maybe you could refer to some history more specifically? Are you saying networking technology was developed in advance of a concept of what it's useful for?

Or is it that a global network of networks was a qualitative step beyond simple networking that didn't have a clear justification?
Yup, and crypto nips that in the bud. If you get a confirmed transaction, it's not going to be reversed by some unfair arbitration, you can trust it.

It sucks trying to run a game losing $20+ per chargeback and risking getting funds frozen entirely.

It sucks to be delisted by PayPal over political bullshit.

It sucks Mastercard and other CC companies can decide porn is essentially illegal.

- edit @ notahacker -

The point is you're at the whim of PayPal, Stripe, and credit card company policies for traditional fiat currency.

Have fun trying to sell guns (FFL be damned), porn subs (legal like you mentioned), virtual currency (legal ofc), or anything like that with traditional processors.

Crypto is the only option for those industries and a few others if you want to accept payment online.

Doesn't matter how many billions the industry is worth if you can't accept a credit card on your site for the service.

If all majors processors ban it, it's essentially blocked.
Schedules of Reinforcement (2021)
Hi.

> please don't patronize me.

I don't know what you're referring to there.

> I'm not "doing posts that are nothing but conspiracy theory"

This very page we are commenting on seems about and motivated by nothing but your conspiracy theory about why your post was lower on the list than you expected.

The paper whose title you changed, it seems to me, was most likely flagged by a few people, which takes it lower down the list I believe, mainly because of your many flaky-seeming meta-comments on it. You sabotaged it yourself, in multiple ways. Maybe it would've got flagged down that far anyway, I don't know. I'm trying to help you, by giving you the perspective of someone not involved in your issues and coming across these two posts for the first time. It seems like you should cut down on the drugs, or seek psychological help. That's how it seems. I'm assuming everything you say and think about the 5G stuff is correct, I know nothing about that. Good luck.
I don't think it's a bad idea to say "We are neither left nor right", since "left" and "right" are not very clearly defined concepts, and most people have chosen their side on that dimension already .

A better question for the FAQ would be: Are you pro-democracy, or pro-autocracy?

How do you plan to promote your choice of democracy, or autocracy, in practice?
Actual tsunamis have been reported in Fiji, and of course Tongatapu
I thought I had explained this in an earlier post as well, but let's go into more detail with the chain analogy.

First of all, our experiment looks like this: we have a length of chain inside a tube arranged into a rectangle with 2 short 1m sides and two much longer sides (hundreds of km?). The longer sides of the rectangle are placed top and bottom. At the mid-point of the bottom side we have a motor that can pull the chain. At the midpoint of the other end, we have a piezoelectric generator standing very close to the chain. Once we turn the motor on, it will immediately start moving the chain at the near end, but it will take some long amount of time until the links near the piezoelectric start getting pulled. However, the movement of the links near the motor will create sound waves that will start traveling radially outwards from each point, starting with the position of the motor itself. The piezoelectric generator will start being rattled by these sound waves and producing a very small current after a duration of 1m / speed of sound in connecting medium (equivalent to 1/c s). After length of chain / speed of chain seconds pass (equivalent to 1s), the piezoelectric generator will start being rattled by the movement of the chain links near it as well, which has a much higher value.

This experiment models (a) how the engine transmits energy to a distant system regardless of how the chain is moving, and (b) what happens in the initial "1s" before the steady state. If we switched from one-way movement of the chain (DC) to alternative movement (AC), the setup also predicts (c) that the energy keeps flowing from engine to piezoelectric generator, even if the chain links are no longer moving along the whole length of the chain. It also shows that (d) energy is not in the chain links themselves, but in the sound waves they give off.

Note that I used a piezoelectric generator as the first thing that came to mind that does useful work while rattling in any direction, but the electrical component is not really important.

> > In fact, this sound-wave-in-water-pipe model would also predict the right phenomenon if you had two close parallel unconnected pipes, and were sending a sound wave through one of them...

> It does? Please explain, because I have no idea how you think that can be achieved.

If a water pipe A is carrying a sound wave, that sound wave will not be confined to the pipe itself, it will also propagate outwards radially from each segment of pipe. If there is another pipe, the sound waves from the original pipe will start vibrating the water in the second pipe, which will in turn cause other molecules of water to start vibrating and thus carrying the sound wave along the second pipe as well. Of course, in practice the effect will be significantly dampened, but it should happen.

The one thing that these mechanical wave models are completely incapable of explaining, and the thing that Maxwell was able to, is why and how these effects keep happening with electricity even in a perfect vacuum. Modelling EM waves as mechanical waves actually works pretty well until you remove the medium and they keep propagating.

There is no web3, nor web3 era. It is a marketing buzzword.
The story is unbelievable- in that this is the way tech is being employed. It’s a combination of the most sinister and banal at the same time.

It’s having an auto complete feature for creating better hate speech.

I am no expert but this looks huge, perhaps something the size of the Krakatoa eruption. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1883_eruption_of_Krakatoa

Code is law, until someone writs code to steal your monkey jpg or worse, a real house. Then you realize the law and lawyers were there for a reason.
They are also intended to encourage sharing of information. Without patent protection, someone who spends 10 years to make a profitable product may just keep all of the information about it a trade secret.
What would be the timescale of those satellite videos? I imagine they must be time lapse videos?

This is a real tsunami, just not really really big, they are partially protected by a reef. It's not a slow eruption (check out the shockwave in one of the videos, heard in New Zealand). There was a smaller bang yesterday.
PoS blorkchains do not solve the first problem completely (they still require an obscene amount of power to do something that can be done way more efficient) but implement an entirely new kind of problem: The more tokens someone already had, the higher his chances in the "stake-lottery".

Essentially, PoS makes sure that "he who has the gold makes the rules" becomes hardwired in the system, instead of only being a side effect of it.
There was one yesterday and a bigger one 3-4 hours ago
That’s not a great argument. It’s like comparing the invention of tcp with the iphone. They’re just two different technologies. If you’re interested in learning there are many resources, but it’s too easy to criticize something by looking at its cover.
That said, blockchain-like technologies (ksi, more specifically) can be used to assure the integrity of databases storing the relationship between you and your car.
Sorry, can you please explain (or give some link) how it is related to blockchain? https://www.helium.com/lorawan doesn’t mention this word
In general, I was under the impression that IoT devices are underpowered for such usage.
Thank you!
Even if you want patents to exist (which i don't believe in), but lets say for whatever reason they are necessary. there is no reason the government should run this program. They are a monopoly and should not get a say in how someones intellectual “property” is protected. Plenty of work left in protecting real property and rights. Private companies and individuals can worry about this if it is worth their time.
It is true that this website has no password to steal, but a MITM attack could still be impactful. For example, a MITM attack could inject a <script> tag to run arbitrary client-side code. Any content that is served over HTTP has a risk of being swapped out by a MITM, which is why most browsers are nudging users to only visit HTTPS websites.

With that said, implementing security is a trade-off between your time and risk tolerance.
But if you have a cache hit for minified bootstrap css, which is very likely after a little bit of surfing, then it's 0kb data compared to 4kb.

It's a bit like shared libraries in linux, you might just use the library that almost everyone has installed or you compile a static binary, both solutions have their pros and cons.
I think it means that we should "look at what we need to thrive", rather than to "look at what need to change". Not that you shouldn't ever change; just don't focus on the change itself when you are setting goals and concocting plans.
I'm just learning now that they had a launcher.
Money isn't designed to do that.

Money is just an exchange token.

It has no control over what it is used for.
That would be a stupid thing to do, as Bitcoin transaction chains are public and permanent, and the use of mixers[1] close to a deal will set off alarm bells.

Cash is an infinitely better money laundering vehicle.

[1]: tools that blur the transaction chain, masking the origin of one's coins.
I'd say with email the application was always crystal clear: It's like sending a letter, but electronically and therefore instantly. This must have been obvious to everyone in that space even 40 years ago. Maybe it wasn't obvious how big email would be one day, but there were definitely no doubts about what it would be used for. As someone who is trying to understand the applications of "crypto", it is very frustrating to hear stuff like "we now can't imagine how Bitcoin and blockchain will transform our business and life in the future". Please give me something! If we can't imagine it, maybe there is nothing there.

I have an explanation of it in the cryptocurrency chapter of https://www.manning.com/books/real-world-cryptography?a_aid=...
Wise (former Transferwise) is pretty much instant in the EU, with very low fees.

Even then, transferring money with SEPA from my Swedish account to friends in Germany, Poland and the Netherlands is pretty much instant, I just don't like the exchange rate of my bank.
But none of that needs Blockchain as a technical solution.

E.g. my bank allows worldwide free SWIFT transfers in many many currencies. It's not hard to find out someone's name, bank account number and SWIFT code et voila... money sent. There's plenty of other solutions from Paypal to (Transfer)Wise etc.

Saying "it can be done in 20 seconds with crypto" is really only half the truth. At the end of the day we all need fiat money. So there's always a conversion step (if not two!) between fiat -> crypto -> fiat money. I can't pay my baker in Cardano nor my hair stylist in Fantom.
Much smaller than Krakatoa so far. We'll have to see where it comes out on the VEI scale though. Krakatoa was really big, so I think it's pretty unlikely we will get close to that on this one.

The Tsunami they are guessing probably came from an earthquake or underwater landslide caused by the eruption, but the eruption doesn't really need to be huge to cause those. It'll be interesting to see once the eruption stops (if it's a landslide, you can usually see a crescent shaped formation on the volcano, although it may be underwater).
