I'm a fan of cryptocurrency but I don't think this is a great description of it. Its primary goal is finding a way to make transactions work, given that you don't want to involve a central authority. Cryptocurrency works the way it works specifically because of that desire to work without a central authority. It's perfectly possible to create payment systems involving cryptographic signatures involving a central authority (with the downsides a central authority involves).
I have read that current hood designs are effectively required for pedestrian safety, so the "old-timer" look will not come back. Which would speak against "the safety of people outside of automobiles continues to be largely ignored."
I want to add (without proof) that stopping caffeine consumption, frequent orgasms (once a day every day = frequent) and information consumption (video streaming, social media, gaming, Reddit, hacker news, forums, news sites & comments) will have similar effects on mental clarity after about 3 or 4 days of being "sober". Give it a shot.

Another thing that makes a difference is self care: clean your place, throw stuff away, take a warm bath for relaxation (not to get clean), moisturize your body and be thankful toward it. Do some stretches for 15 minutes. Buy new towels & bedding. Buy something that makes your place smell nice. Wash all your clothes, bedding, towels frequently. If you have crappy old furniture, get rid of it, esp if it makes you feel icky. If you have permanent carpets, get rid of them and get wood floors or decent tiles. Try to get rid of all plastics and replace it with glass (kitchen) or cotton (clothing & fabrics).

If you are used to always having music playing, experiment with music deprivation for a few days, or at least, music without lyrics.

Not going to get into alcohol consumption, nicotine and cannabis - they all have effects on your mental state and modulating how often you use them makes a massive difference.

Lastly, do get therapy (and medication) if you need to or a good friend you can talk to, it makes a difference. Walks in nature while talking about life can help.

Helium has given up on blockchains because they realized it added no value: https://medium.com/helium-foundation/hip-70-helium-core-team...

> In the current architecture, specific transactions, including Proof-of-Coverage and Data Transfer Accounting, are processed on-chain unnecessarily. This data bottleneck can cause efficiency issues such as device join delays and problems with data packet communications, which bloats the Network and causes slow processing times. HIP 70 proposes transferring these processes onto Oracles which will resolve these issues and further stabilize the Network.

There's a bunch of jargon, but for "Oracle" read "EC2 instance".

Pos is controlled by those with the most money, and they continuously gain more money through staking rewards (i.e. the rich control the system and automatically get richer).

With PoW, you have to sell/spend some of the coins you earn in order to pay for operation expenditures.

PoS is more centralizing.
I wouldn't say Vitalik Buterin is anywhere near as legendary as the names you dropped, but he's the closest to what you described, in terms of being as close as possible to the underlying tech rather than just being associated with the hype train (and scam train) riding on top of it.

The semiconductor shortage? No. The GPU shortage, and the insane prices also due to scalpers abusing the shortage?

100%. yes.

Shall we pretend you replied in good faith to a post asking "Same as people were free to buy graphics cards for gaming in the last couple of years?", genuinely misunderstood the question, genuinely missing the "graphics card" and thought only of the general semiconductor shortage in your answer?

100% no. I call your bullshit.
Great site but can the author of the site improve its readability for desktop users?

I find the text visually hard to read (not the text in itself). In Firefox for example the Reader mode is not available which would also help.

(I'm a regular web user, I know it's not great but I have no idea how to improve it)

If anyone has good tips/tools/links for the author please reply with them.
No, the goal wasn't to create economic value. The goal was to make it prohibitively expensive to recreate the chain and thus fool someone else. Satoshi did not say that the purpose of PoW was to "create economic value".
Agreed that conceptual simplicity is always best, and the current Casper FFG + LMD-GHOST doesn't have provable guarantees yet (though seems to be working in practice). I'm excited to see slight modifications to the consensus/forkchoice algo that do have provable guarantees, like [Goldfish](https://www.paradigm.xyz/2022/09/goldfish) from Paradigm Research.

If the reward is pushed down to be equal to the same reward that's available to anyone through widely available investment opportunities, then it doesn't seem like it's any more of an issue than how any other investment works.
Not sure what practical difference that makes except in extreme circumstances like war. At an individual level government interference with your land

> For something that millions of people across the world rely on

People keep claiming that millions of people rely on it is such a bullshit claim

> with million+ transactions daily

Which is a paltry 11 transactions per second. I think a Raspberry Pi is now capable of the same amazing feat.

> It's using a magnitude less energy now than YouTube or Netflix

And doing orders of magnitudes less while consuming insane amounts of energy.

Had Ethereum tried to move around as much video as Youtube and Netflix are doing, heat death of the universe would happen the next day after the attempt.

Lynx hilo has 121dB input dynamic range and is built upon cs4398 which is a 24-bit DAC chip.

If your input clips, you usually don't need to lower it too much to protect your ADC, and if you recording the sounds so quiet they end up below 24bit noise floor after this, well they probably didn't clip in the first place and you most probably already facing bigger issues with mic/preamp/ambient noise and dynamic range.

Also, you mention hilo can take 32 bit input. Means, the signal is already digitized, and we're talking about recording?
Well the discussion started with saying "why would enthusiasts care about their energy consumption" - so my point isn't that I'm going to cut out entertainment altogether, but for my next GPU I will definitely look at the energy consumption and there is zero chance I'm buying a 500W monster, even if I can afford the energy for it. It's just stupid and wasteful. I might go with a xx60 series instead, just because the TDP will be more reasonable. Or alternatively I might play the same games on my Xbox Series S which provides me with the same entertainment yet uses 1/6th of the energy of my PC when gaming.
thought we were talking about open source community research. i'm not here to get into the debate of if crypto has a scam problem, it does. but that isn't research.
That's the same in both cases. Both times you are turning money into more money. Literally the only difference is that in PoW you have external costs. But since these costs are physical and out of the scope of the chain, they do not scale linearly.
With PoW you had capital expenditure, but also operational expenditure (e.g. electricity costs). Your capital also depreciates over time.

With PoS, you don't have any operational expenditure, and the sticker price of your capital expenditure stays the same, and you can get it back when you unstake.

They're not the same.
In PoW, the "work" is just how much money the miner spends on mining hardware and electricity. Both PoW and PoS are cases where people with money invest that money and get a proportional reward. PoS just cuts out the hardware and electricity waste.
Well my point is, you make GPUs in the same factory where you make CPUs and networking chips. So first have a look at what happened there - e.g. a massive new client has appeared and booked out the entire capacity that usually Nvidia and AMD were getting. Are you saying this 100% surely had zero impact?

And again, I was talking about Bitcoin, and you don't mine it with GPUs, and ASICs don't compete with GPU production capacity. So who replies in bad faith? I'm happy to believe the other commenter genuinely missed me talking about Bitcoin, so I mentioned it again. Then you come here with your attack...
Is there a way to get OSM to display names in Latin characters? I was in Thailand last week and looking at this very railway map I got really frustrated because I couldn't understand anything with the Thai script.

I think this is great news because it reduces wasted energy. The sooner cryptocurrency stops boiling the ocean, the sooner the rest of us can ignore it.

Now do the same for bitcoin.

A friend of mine is of the opinion that all safety improvements in cars should be reverted on the grounds that killing more motorists is good for the planet. At first I thought this was ridiculous. But now that we're deep into the climate hypercrisis, I'm not so sure...

My slightly more moderate view is that safety improvements should be focussed solely on preserving life outside the vehicle (both in terms of safety from crashes and damage to the environment).

> I determined they were happy and eager because I spent each evening with them eating and watching soccer. I was down there during Christmas, and Liat airlines happened to go on strike so I was stranded there for 3 additional days. They made me feel very welcomed. I would spend the evening with them and then walk the ~2 miles back to the small house that was rented for me

In my opinion, this reminds me of a course I took about ethics. Slave owners and slave traders would say their slaves were happy because they would sing while working and play games like jump rope and hopscotch. The owners would also say their slaves loved them, especially the ones that were 'house slaves' that tended to be young women. A good example of that would be Thomas Jefferson and the underage child, Sally Hemmings who had his children. More recently Qatari companies caught using indentured/slave labor to build the FIFA stadium made similar remarks about their 'workers'.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It convinces me that people can easily find ways to convince themselves everything is fine.

We were forced to use this ide back in the days when I went to school. I never encountered something more worse to use then this "IDE".
Not to mention we were told to use notepad in the beginning... Can't make this sh* up.

From my perspective its very confusing for beginners to switch to a proper IDE after using this. And I will not mind the argument that "proper" IDE are overwhelming.
If you are new to programming most likely everything, including BlueJ, is overwhelming.
And with a good teacher and a good introduction I don't think its too much for beginners to use something like IntelliJ.

Just use the "correct" tools right away.

//edit:
The IDE might improved a lot since the last time I used it.
Didn't wanted to talk bad on BlueJ itself.
Thanks for posting, this helped ease some of my anxieties about starting a PhD.

Sometimes I worry that I will get stuck and will end up with nothing to show, and I try to remind myself that I am going into uncharted territory and getting stuck is to be expected. The only way that I will definitely end up with nothing to show is if I let my worries take over and quit.
So you are opting out of Bitcoin because other cryptocurrencies exist?

Yes you are correct there are many rules I can't list them all here. The point is they are fixed rules and one is transaction amount.

> Very large number of transactions on personal accounts is also one of those rules.

Yes I suspect 1000's of trx on the accounts is what flag the whole thing to the bank.

> That sounds like fraud, not money laundering rule.

You have to take what I've said in context with the whole comment and not take a single part out of context.

As I said for money laundering you'll get consistent large transactions that don't make sense (say £250k each week from a pizza shop). Banks already know how to spot these large weird transactions so a method to hide them is to split them down into smaller transactions. My example with paying the kitchen was to show that the banks wouldn't notice the £500 transactions rather than the single £5000 transaction.
IntelliJ is a great IDE, but it's designed for professional software developers. It can potentially be overwhelming in an educational context when teaching programming to people with no prior experience.
Who Needs Cookies?
Well no. It says:

Yes, with some conditions. You can boot a very minimal version of Linux without the firmware and get it to work with UART and eMMC. Support for USB, DMA, and Ethernet are in the works, which will be sufficient for certain headless systems. Still, many other peripherals require bringup, such as video. Additionally, drivers for power management need to written.

So it isn't clear if this is code in the kernel, or code blobs still to be run in the VPU, and why.

"drivers" could refer to linux kernel, or the drivers as blob downloads, or VPU initialization.
Thanks! I just installed and checked NoteKit out. While the interface didn't look right (on ElementaryOS), I think the developer did a very good job in creating the editor. The clickable todo lists, the Markdown that disappears automatically, the drawings, image integration, etc. All things I want to implement in Notes as well[1]. And yes, spellcheck is also something I plan to implement[2].

They never said anything about Banks.

Conceptually, a service provider utilizing Ethereum could create or aggregate on-chain services and package them in a similar format to what a bank is today with very little overhead.
So there's an article with information about how to run a validator from home [1]. But my question is, what the typical ROI for this sort of thing? Not just from your stake of 32 ETH, but from the hardware depreciation, electricity costs, etc?

I like the idea of a non-PoW blockchain, and I don't mind taking some risks, but before I invest $60k in becoming a validator, I'd like to know what the potential payback might be.

You seem to think it's all figured out, go ahead and try it. This isn't theoretical, everyone seems to think they definitely know how this will go and we sure could use some court clarity.

Slam dunk case right? What's stopping you?
But why? Rolling out SEPA ICT globally would have benefit far more people in far better ways.

The ability to send money instantly from any regular bank account to any other regular bank account, without any fees, that's what we should aim for.

Cryptocurrencies do this worse than the existing banking tech (e.g., the mentioned SEPA ICT).

Meaning, sarcastically directing me to try to get rich offering to fix corporate management problems, as a way to try to distract from the technical matter you wish nobody would discuss, for reasons we may guess.

Google's problem is the same as most big corporations': Everybody who works there knows Google doesn't give a rat's ass about them. They, very sensibly, don't give a rat's ass about Google. Code quality slips.

Microsoft's additional problem has been that fixing or preventing bugs was very early on recognized throughout as a waste of time and company money: in a monopoly market, a bug can hardly ever cause any reduction in revenue. Google's actual customers are likewise insulated from bugs that don't affect ad presentation or billing. Even those rarely affect Google's revenue in any detectable way.

So, Google's overriding concern is uptime, because when they are down or slow, revenue falls off in exact proportion.

There is large areas in cryptography where if you don’t do it right the whole thing won’t work at all - in that sense there are large parts that are self verifying which collapses complexity. I’m not saying it’s all easy, just that experts can navigate through complexity because they know what to ignore by abstracting it and thinking about properties it holds, not keeping in mind all the guts underneath. Maybe good example is that you can use sha256 effectively in your code without knowing or focusing on how it works internally. You’re interfacing with it through relatively easy properties it has.
> That said, it also isn't clear to me how money laundering can work if everyone suspects it at your business!

Did you report this suspicion to any authority? Your answer should be there.
Interesting... I did not know that you could share your YouTube paid status with other family members.

>>I'm not sure why you think COVID boosters not matched to current variant will have somehow bigger efficacy than influenza boosters which have only 0-40% efficacy, if not lucky.

I just don't see how you came to that conclusion. They aren't remotely similar viruses, they aren't the same vaccines, yet you confidently declare that if X is true for the influenza vaccine, it must also be true for the coronavirus vaccine? How come?
Well, if they are being bought for PoW mining there is a good chance that they would then become more expensive for other uses. It is not like we have solar panels just laying around and nobody tough of using them before PoW came along.
I think business documentation in these cases is obvious choice. So you present good enough claim to that name or what ever and you get verification. This however means it is not personal account, but tied to that name or entity. Whoever owns it.
> I'm not sure why you think COVID boosters not matched to current variant will have somehow bigger efficacy than influenza boosters which have only 0-40% efficacy, if not lucky.
