Well then what does Ethereum do actually? And why exactly can't those centralized transactions be denominated in "Coinbase points" without all the crazy "Proof-of" code?

I just recently cancelled a $5 a month subscription to an Android App/website service for storing food recipes. I was subscribed for about 2 years to "support" the small developer, but really could not justify paying any monthly fee for a program... I replaced it with a self-hosted RecipeSage install.

no, not really, unless it is politically expedient for them to appear to care. most politicians view themselves much closer to the digital nomads in terms of class/social status as opposed to their constituents / regular folk, ex. politicians already mostly live in gentrified/fancier areas, dine at the higher end restaurants, and fancy themselves world travellers

Yes, and the block reward can be claimed without any transactions in the block.

On BTC this never happens, on other chains it's quite common, since no one uses them.

That $60 in electricity 'per transaction' is simply not correct, the value of the block reward doesn't come from transactions. The transaction fee does.

Zkrollups on Ethereum can do a couple thousand tx/sec, without security compromises. The plan now is to use the base layer mainly to support rollups, and use data sharding on the base layer to multiply the capacity of rollups. That should get it to about 100,000 tx/sec. That will be a pretty big change, but not as big as what they just did, and they've already got the design mostly worked out.

I'd go for that. As far as I'm concerned, Smith-IRV is better than IRV in every circumstance. The only counterpoint I've seen are twisty arguments about a modified "Majority Criterion", where a single-member Smith Set might not (arguably) be someone that a majority "voted for". Which would seem to apply just as much to IRV as well, but IRV adherents that make this point seem to think that the mechanics of IRV somehow overcome that.
I agree with you! Stripe could work with Stripe connect, so it's a possibility.

For direct transfer, would you imagine this to just be for the affiliate to manually enter their banking info? (I.e. UK would be sort code, U.S. routing number).

To make that process easier, this could be facilitated with Wise.com. Perhaps we could make an integration for it.

> Let's say that 49% "strongly" support A, and 51% "weakly" support B.

This example does not have enough information to have a optimal VSE solution or even a good guestimate. We don't know the distance between A and B nor percentages of A that are okay with B and vise versa. So essentially we don't know what our latent landscape even looks like. But if you can add to that and figure it out then we can actually capture information about population bullying.

The issue with voting is that it appears simple but is rather complex. But complex problems also require nuanced solutions (not necessarily complex, but can't be solved by first order terms).

Thank you for sharing - and note that this is not the full study.

If you follow the ling for the full study, you end up at https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar....

I recommend reading the comments, there are serious concerns about the validity of the study.

There are also fundamental math errors - which the authors acknowledge, search for "we acknowledge" in the comments. Funny part - even while acknowledging it, they still fail to do the math correctly - PPV is 39.7% not 59%.

Still not enough, read Esther Rodriguez' comment on the paper.

Still not enough, read this post on numerical inconsistencies: https://pubpeer.com/publications/0a3dd058f6fb53312c5ddd858ad... (Although I think this is possibly addressed by https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar... - but I currently don't have the time to follow up in detail)

The paper is, as the kids say, "somewhat sus".

Might be innocent mistakes. Might even still be a correct conclusion - but this paper alone can't stand by itself, and there's nothing else backing it up (as far as I can tell with a quick search)

I think the difference is that AlloyDB is basically PostgreSQL where they've modified how it's storing things to offer better performance via better integration with Google's infrastructure - like what Amazon did with AuroraDB. That means that AlloyDB is compatible with all the stuff you're used to using with PostgreSQL.

Spanner is a very different database. They've included a PostgreSQL query-language compatibility layer, but that isn't the same as being "100% compatible." You'll still be dealing with some Spanner concepts like not wanting to hot-spot your writes. Spanner does allow really scaling out and a truly distributed database while AlloyDB is an improvement via better integration with Google's infrastructure, but still mostly the same model.

Aurora/Alloy do have advantages by decoupling the storage from the server instances including performance and resiliency, but Spanner is really creating a horizontally scalable, distributed database - with some trade-offs.

The value will be based on the value of the reduced risk of damage/loss from orbital debris and reduced cost from orbital adjustments to avoid debris (which uses fuel or mass which reduces the lifespan of the satellite). Once we end up with 100k or more LEO satellites it'll be very valuable to reduce the amount of debris at those altitudes.

Not very long ago that would have been a 3 year old, or maybe even a smart 2 year old. 5 year olds are extremely good at basic language and understanding tasks. If we get to the point of AI that is as good as a 5 year old we're essentially at AGI.

Just read up on the famous game dev tycoon mechanism, where the gamedev (player) goes broke with his company due to too much piracy.

97% of players played the cracked game that the publisher seeded on purpose via piratebay and other trackers.

So yeah, I'd argue that piracy is a huge problem.

>In an ordinal perspective Romney would have a larger edge because you've given a higher weight to him.

Perhaps. Is that a necessity of ordinal voting? I'm not so sure. Trump could have been dropped in the initial round, and then you'd have gotten a straight Biden > Romney vote.

>You maintain the order but you lost the degree of preference. There's no reason to drop this information.

The reason to drop this information is because it's often garbage (there's no real score, at most an hidden ordinal preference), and its very existence gets voters to create even more garbage in order to get their actual preferences.

In our example, the strongly Republican voter probably actually wants something like this: Trump 10.0 > Romney 0.0, Trump 10.0 > Biden 0.0, Romney 10.0 > Biden 0.0.

However, Romney has to get only 9.0 because our Republican voter can only give a global score and wants Trump > Romney. Now Biden may win because Romney got 1.0 less. By forcing a global preference score, you got garbage info.

Another point is that we shouldn't conceive of candidates as passive observers. They can also create tactical manipulations, and that's much much worse than when voters 'lie'.

Say in 2024 the country has more Republican voters than Democrats. Biden now gets Warren and Sanders to run. Most Republicans have Biden > Sanders > Warren (or Biden > Warren > Sanders, it doesn't matter). So they may wish to give Biden 2, Sanders 1. Or Biden 2, Warren 1. Biden gains the more radical Democrats run, since Republicans have to give him a higher score to express their ordinal preference! (They could vote Biden 1 and give 0 to the others, but then their ordinal preference between the other democrats disappears).
> While normally I would agree with your comment, printers are an especially complicated class of device.

I think it is far worse than that. Printers are commodity products and pretty cheap for what you get new for hundred to a few hundred bucks, which is a hardware and software package that is likely to work flawlessly out of the box and for at least a few years. Labor is not cheap. There was a threshold crossed 20-25 years ago where it no longer made economic sense to repair hardware, and ever since the broken is simply replaced. Even if this printer technically works, if the 32-bit driver is unacceptable, then it classifies. The amount of effort required compared to the value of the product is staggering. Add to this that it already works, albeit with a 32-bit driver, and we're entering the territory of mental illness; perfectionism and obsession are not virtues, they are symptoms.

OP is not a hacker, but rather is attempting to Tom Sawyer a hacker into painting his fence for him. Hackers are notorious for ugly solutions and would not ever whine about using a 32-bit driver, nor do they ask for all the work to be done for them. What possible realized benefit of having a 64-bit driver for this printer is not exactly clear. It has the memory that it has, 128MB, and a driver capable of 4 billion times the address space should make absolutely no difference, because the memory is what it is.

The top reply is apt, and the GP is only encouraging heartache, disappointment and failure. If the OP wants a 64-bit driver, he'll need to find a replacement printer that comes with one. Conversely, he can earn a computer engineering degree and go to work for a few years in the device driver industry to get the experience necessary to approach and solve this tiny problem requiring massive knowledge for pretty much no benefit. I would recommend instead meditating on why it is difficult to impossible to change the nature of something and/or why you shouldn't build your castle in a swamp.[1]

I meant it bit of a tongue-in-cheek way, but for the sake of argument it wouldn't be hard for a clean up mission to have an "accident" and actually generate more debris for later missions to clean up. And it might not even be malicious, just side effect of more pressure to launch something to do the clean ups.

To be clear, I'm not saying OP is wrong, it would probably work out fine. But this seems like a fun angle to consider.
This is not inherently made possible by the blockchain itself though.

The mechanisms to transfer a Kitty to the HyperDragons lie within the CryptoKitty Smart Contract. This is not particularly different than a regular API, where the available operations have been chosen, specified, and made available to the public at large by the developers.

The only real difference with a public-facing documented traditional API is that said API will outlive the original product. But that doesn't make CryptoKitties a better game, since Cripto Kitties won't be a thing anymore when that comes into play.
