Decentralization is a security and censorship-resistant feature of Bitcoin. All transactions must go through a miner, but the only way to mine a block is by solving a SHA256 hash in competition with tens of thousands of other miners also trying to solve for the hash all around the world.

There is no way of saying 1% owns 92% (after all, I can churn out a million addresses used purely for one-off transactions, if desired, that's totally acceptable, wallets are practically free to produce). But it wouldn't matter if it did, because distribution of Bitcoin does not affect its security or censorship resistant properties. All transactions get the same amount of security. All holders are equal in terms of protection provided by the network.

Concentration of ownership of any capital asset is going to follow a Pareto distribution. That is not unique to Bitcoin... it's true of everything from stamps to stocks. Bitcoin never made the claim to some sort of idealistic theoretical "even" distribution as if that would be fair, but I digress... Bitcoin is also not the end all be all of crypto assets, and plenty of additional capital value has been distributed among the long tail of crypto assets that have cropped up since (over 60% of crypto's market cap is among other crypto assets).

Mining pools are not centralized entities. They are loose organizations that miners join to even out the yield on their mining equipment. A miner can fluidly leave and re-join a different pool at will. The pool's sole function is to smooth out yield. If a pool fails to do that, it loses its miners. It's not some central entity that can command the miners in it to 51% attack the network. That's not how pools work.

But even if they did, it would be painfully obvious that it was happening, and the Bitcoin community would mount a response, which may include a hard fork if desired.

I am more involved in the Ethereum community than Bitcoin. The lure is that I can borrow and send six figures worth of crypto in 2 minutes, and deploy it to a smart contract multisig and create an on-chain organization in a single afternoon that is used to deploy capital for anything from charitable fundraising to art commissions and auctions to online gaming production to startup operations. I can coordinate across jurisdictions frictionlessly. I can retain my assets when moving across borders. I can retain true ownership and custody of my funds without any central parties. I can earn yield on my funds by lending it out to on-chain options markets. I can fund any one I want on the internet without Paypal's permission or blessing. I can move to a third world country and still retain all of these capabilities.

It's not going anywhere, it's hugely valuable. It continues to get more powerful and more user-friendly.

> > vector-based UI just doesn't look that good on those

Ah, but I feel safe in saying, no one puts hints in nor uses hinting in the rendering of anything to do with folders and the like in a GUI.

The fact that autohinting exists doesn't mean that is easy to do.
This is exactly how I assumed modern operating systems would operate (macOS seems to operate this way because you can actually show size subtallies, but it actually polls and caches; Windows doesn’t even bother unless you get properties on a directory, which is lame; I think beOS may have actually done this?), and was disappointed when I realized it wasn’t… and still doesn’t for some reason? Why not? Couldn’t they just route all OS-level ways of writing to the storage medium through a system like this?

[Regarding] 'Equifax-like companies that verify all the bullet points' I'm sorry to inform you that's already happening.

Specifically?

Yes there are obviously companies that strip mine every nugget of "data" they can possibly find about an individual, and then pass this along to whoever may be willing to buy, garbage-in, garbage-out style.

But actually verifying that this information has anything to do with the real world (the way background check companies do) is a completely different, and very expensive endeavour.
No idea if this could be financially viable. It’s essentially free to host so profit hasn’t mattered much so far.

How much is the ransom? Is it being demanded of Kronos, their clients, or both? Is the demand believable, in that payment would have restored service?

We can talk a lot about the morality of paying ransoms, but should Kronos be putting their clients through so much to avoid it? Should they make that decision on their behalf?
I asked a tech recruiter once how long he looked at a resume before deciding to trash it or file it. He said 2 seconds.

He said he looked at about 1000 resumes a week. After a while, you can tell in 2 seconds if it is worth pursuing or not.

Am I the only one struggling with the "Controllers" folder not being an 8.3 filename, and therefore couldn't actually exist on MSDOS?

To use "Controllers" you'd need a file system with support for Long File Names (LFN) which for most people didn't happen until Windows 95 (maybe WInNT 3 had it too, I dunno, never used NT 3.x).

So "WinDOS on Dope"?

Still pretty cool nonetheless.

To be clear, did you found the sub, or co-found it?

You mention that the moderator list was reorganized, was that by another moderator? If so, this is well within their powers.

(Aside: Yes, obviously very lame thing for them to do given that they were monetizing the sub)

But the way you wrote this comment, I thought it was the admins who replaced you, and that they just took over the sub.

That would be much more concerning.

Being sloppy writing code, though, can be disastrous.

Open source works because we can trust authors to not maliciously harm other people. If it was a bug that's one thing it happens, you move on. But when you purposely do something that you know will cause harm to people that is where I draw the line.

Your analogy isn't even close. No one forced him to write faker.js. He chose to do it and he chose to make it open source under a license allowing people to use it. He also chose to maintain it and help people with issues. If he didn't want to maintain it anymore, It is his right to stop. No company could force him to continue. But he nor anyone is not entitled to add malicious code. Full stop that is where I draw the line. I can't believe anyone is defending that.

So, never heard of HN before, then deciding that despite being unemployed and spending too much time on social media already, those other sites are still a more important use of time?

> The best you can do to prevent actual harm in the real world is allow unfettered speech and discussion.

No-one likes fetters, so that way of framing it makes it sound a no-brainer. But, to give a real world example, I guess most people think HN would be much worse without moderation of any kind. I'm not sure how one would test the truth of your statement. It doesn't sound obviously true to me, at least. It sounds like you are 100% certain. What evidence would it take for you to change your mind? I suspect belief in such "free speech absolutism" comes from abstract principle first, with real-world evidence a very distant second.

Seems a similar situation to, say, pacifism. I'm very anti-violence, anti-war etc, but I'm not a pure, idealist "pacifist". To say you'd never use violence, in any situation?! that non-violence is always worse - just sounds like you haven't thought so much about it. e.g. even if thugs were dragging off your loved ones? You wouldn't lift a finger? I doubt it. That would seem like your abstract principle was trumping prudence/evidence/reason etc, producing non-sensible results, in a similar way.

I don't think there are simple and good answers to any of these questions. Yours is simple but, I think, not good.
Yeah, but most vocal proponents of so-called "individuality" are simply self-centered anti-social assholes who haven't thought through the Libertarian ideologies they parrot deeply enough to realize how extremely dependent on and beneficial from collectivism they actually are, and they continue bitching about "socialism" while sucking the government's tit with their social security and disability benefits and medicare, and driving on the roads in their trucks while "rolling goal" and waving their guns at pedestrians and bicyclists and electric cars, and calling the fire department when their house catches on fire, and calling an ambulance when they accidentally shoot themselves in the dick while "cleaning their gun", and foaming at the mouth and railing against Obamacare for no better reason than the person THEY renamed the ACA after is black, then refusing to self isolate and wear masks and take vaccines, and finally overcrowding the hospitals and cursing at health care workers when they get sick, then running GoFundMe campaigns to pay for their "unexpected" self inflicted illness and funeral, and some even go as far as using projects hosted on github and hosting their own projects on github for free, and then complaining when github takes down the malicious repo of another mentally ill person whose apartment the police had to break into and remove his bomb making supplies.

This is a pure cash grab by Lenovo and AMD, not about mitigating attacks.

If this were about platform security for the benefit of the owner, it would not be permanent, nor enabled by default. All this does is create more e-waste and nuke resale value for Lenovo systems and Ryzen CPUs.

Lenovo has been increasingly slimy for years now (I guess everyone forgets that they've been caught distributing spyware in their products multiple times?) and this is just yet another stop on the road.

I hope Lenovo and AMD both get their asses sued.

It varies. There is a reason there is some level dislike for HR cohorts. Keyword bingo is one of those things.

Minor anecdote incoming. I applied to a company A. It was a fit. I think I used the right keywords. Zero response. I talked with my buddy there. She talked with hiring manager. I got hired by company A. I later found out HR was unhappy, because it undermined their 'process' - such as it is.

There just has to be a better way to do this when compared to things as they are now.

To expand on this, it means that once the kernel is done booting, the first (and only) program it will start is the bundled go-written application. This differs from the usual chaining to the "init" (like systemd) process, which would then spawn a myriad of other programs.

I think that was also the idea behind the HAM(?) image format, that allowed you to display images with more than 256 colors, by dynamically changing the pallette as the frame is drawn. A similar trick was used to change the location of the screen memory midway through the frame, and that's how they implemented the guru meditation error drop-down. Unfortunately, IIRC, the CPU was so slow the raster would travel about ten pixels between changes, so it was mostly just good for effects that used full scan lines, like raster bars, etc. You couldn't use it to programmatically draw a high resolution image or anything like that.
there are literally dozens of us!
There is the "moral" side of the question and the "ethical" side of the question.

Morals are rules YOU live by... so, if you feel you should make a known damaging change to your FOSS project and that fits your "morals"... then, yes, (deliberately) break the code.

Ethics are rules EVERYBODY lives by... so, if you feel you want to make a known damaging change to your FOSS project... then, no, don't (deliberately) break the code.

If your Morals don't align with Ethics then you see this as an issue.

If your Morals align with Ethics then there is no issue.
the poultices got me
Last I checked, Bitcoin didn't automatically give fractional mining rewards, and one needed to join a mining pool for that.

But it doesn't matter, because the reward would be so small in this case that it wouldn't outweigh the cost of buying a chip to put in an appliance. If you think I'm wrong, then by all means mine hardware with all of your heating devices. Hell, if the money is really there, create a startup selling mining appliances and get rich. It's easy money, right? Start today.
FYI Not an English native speaker

It’s a document sent to tons of people. Revised by tons of hiring managers. Can’t you spend 5 minute looking at a dictionary? If you cant be bothered to spend 5 minutes researching this for an important document, what makes me think that you will spend 5 minutes trying to be good at your job. Lack of care on your resume is lack of care on lots of other things.
Just a few thoughts of my own. It seems to me that BTC is starting to more and more follow the trend of the S&P macro movement swings. As traders become scared of the stability of the future, they reduce their investment purchases (or sell) across all their speculative assets. This global 'market fear and exhuberance' may end up impacting BTC as much as it does wall street, compounded by automated cross-market bot trading that occurs. (I tend to follow behavioral economics)
I had similar feelings when I first saw it. My response was to focus on making things that you can't using GB Studio - pushing the hardware to its limits, playing with novel control/graphics schemes, doing things that make people say "you can do that on a gameboy?". I was never really much of a game designer so I enjoy this "technical challenge" work more anyway.
> But GitHub claims to be your home for public hosting of your own personal code.

Github claims to be a home for developers to publicly host code of public use. Any benefit to an individual developer is incident to that overriding purpose and they are clear about that in their use policies.

> What GitHub policy did he violate?

https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-accepta... gives their acceptable use policies.

I think they could easily make claims on any or all of sections 2, 3, 4 and 10.

Section 10 in particular notes that Github is a service run for a mass of users and will favor users as a whole over individual privileges.

> expressing his freedom of speech, again on his own personal GitHub account, in his own personal (not organization) repositories.

Was he running his own Github server instance and I missed it somehow? The flipside to Github paying to run your git repo, issue tracker, etc. is that you agree to abide by their terms of use, and these terms are written for Github's benefit.

If a million Github users are impacted by this package breaking their code then why are you surprised that Github took action to protect their users?

Marak could have hosted his own git repo if he wanted to ensure his malicious code couldn't be intercepted by others. That's the tradeoff you have to choose.

Inserting infinite loops into packages isn't "political speech" and trying to claim as such just waters down the entire argument...

You have the freedom to break it, but you can't force people to run the broken code.

This is very similar to freedom of speech. You have the freedom to say stupid things, but you can't force people to listen to your ideas or let you yell them on their lawn.

Someone recently commented here on the difference between a right and a power. I think that was very illuminating. Forcing people to run your broken code/listen to your opinions is not a right or a freedom, and framing it that way is misguiding. It would be a power, which thankfully Marak doesn't have.
I remember the HR chief of [famous company] complaining to me that she'd already been ordered to offer me a job, and needed a resume to check her bureaucratic boxen.
I am still a bit surprised with the (in)famous equifax hack they didn't try to sue the developers of Struts. Seems like the next logical step these days... Too many people (me included haha) accept that we can use someone else's code without due diligence, licensing considerations (remember reactjs patent bomb?), security checks etc. We all like free things and developing software is expensive and someone out there doing all the work for us for free and we also become aggressive and grumpy when their code breaks. Something is wrong here. I think you should either live on approved supported old versions of "free" software (while paying Red Hat, for example) or do it yourself but then you are on your own.
