It is really a canandrum IMO. Being untreceable like cash has advantages, for sure. But humans will always need to interact with each other, and some interactions rely on certain levels of trust.

A small part of the reasons our society is safer, in comparison with a hundred years ago, is that wealth is held by large institutions and cannot be stolen (as oposed to storing gold and jewlery at home). Thus making personal violent crimes slightly less lucrative.

Trust in banks and government arguably yeilded some benefits as a tradeoff for privacy. Monero might be too far for many people. In some ways the value not migrating from Bitcoin to Monero proves it to some extent. The institutions refusing to make the transition proves distrust in their system, also to some extent.
The switch to proof of stake is not exactly abrupt, it was,discussed and planned well in advance. I bet the video card makers must have been preparing.
3. You want to do something that in another language would require a separate preprocessor. You can do arbitrary computation in the macro, so it becomes a preprocessor.
Most still hope for return to "business as usual". Which IMO won't happen this decade, and probably next decade as well.

^ Not on the same level as IBM working with Nazis, but still morally questionable
This is laughable.

I support bitcoin because it is a pattern that allows value transfer absent intermediaries, binds value directly to energy and computational capacity (work), and has clear mechanisms for any new party to enter into consensus.

In other words, if PoW is attacked by say a governmental entity, a massive mining op or central mining shuts down, it does not fail. The hash rate just gets distributed.

I don’t support bitcoin to get rich. I support it for freedom from tyranny. I support it for independence from oligarchs, banking authoritarians, and a corrupted monetary system.

PoS is a carry over of aristocracy and oligarchs. The oligarchs are just called “stakers” now. And with a name behind the stakers, governments can enter and control the mechanisms. With a massive stake locked in an asset you become vulnerable to control from external forces.

There are so many problems with this pattern one could write, at the very least, a very long article on it. But it would seem reason and freedom is as a fart in the wind these days.

Tldr: Bitcoin will never move to PoS because it is inferior.
Tech, like law, is a bimodal market. If you think of it as a single bell curve your intuitions will be all wrong.

I'd expect track gauges might be something VHNers could disagree over.
So where's your data? I bought a pretty large solar array by adding a panel or two over the years. It's so big now that I have more than enough energy to sell/mine BTC even in winter - and that's for a large old EU-style village house and I like to shower in hot water a lot and keep 24 degrees (admittedly, I use a little coal the week/two it's -20 outside), and I don't even have new windows - still these 100 year old wooden ones - nor modern insulation (my ceiling is insulated with >50 year old straw, lol).

Today it's possible to buy a shipping container full of incredibly efficient solar panels for just around 8k EUR and have it delivered the same month. If that's not cheap and available I don't know what is - and it definitely wasn't this good 5 years ago, not even playing the same game.

5 years ago I had to talk to a sales rep who wanted to visit me and do special deals (and tried to bag the difference from grid costs through their shit leasing), now I just order on an eshop, pay with card and it's done in 15 minutes. My last shipment last year arrived within a week after ordering, now it's worse because of the Russian war - but that applies to everything related to energy, and there are new companies trying to cater to this new market already, it just takes some time to ramp up.

Each year the availability, efficiency and price of solar panels improved for me. You're claiming it got worse because of crypto - based on what? To me, your snark seems just like a childish socialist fantasy and anti-money/market scheme, and the reality starkly disagrees.
A billionaire is usually just someone who's done something like me but 1000x better. Where is your line? What's ok? 100m? 432m? Above that people are "too rich"? What if there's 10% inflation? Do you add that on?

Also - yes, there are rent seeking evil billionaires. The 2008 banking crises showed that. There are also rent seeking evil slum lords who own $50k worth of real estate.

The problem isn't wealth. It's rent seeking with no value add, with government lobbying sprinkled in.
I'm not a lawyer but from my understanding the attack would be on general principles: contractual provisions can't override statute law in our system, any contract has to meet certain basic standards to be enforceable, and if a contract isn't genuinely negotiated but rather dictated by the more powerful party (aka contracts of adhesion or standard form contracts) any later decisions about interpretation are likely to favour the little guy. In the case of employment there are lots of specific statutory provisions to protect employees but contractors don't enjoy the same protections automatically so again we're back to unfortunate levels of ambiguity until precedents from real cases start to clarify the situation.

> where power production is not running at close to 100% capacity at peak hours

That's not how it works really. The peak can change - it may literally be influenced by the break time in TV shows and people putting the kettle on at the same time. In the other direction, we may lose capacity due to repairs and unplanned outages. If we ever get close to 100% of production capacity for more than a moment, that's a massive planning issue. Instead we do rolling blackouts.

> When did it stop being a core competency of web applications?

Turns out, login is surprisingly hard. It will be the first and most important focus point for attackers - SQL injections, DDoS attacks, captchas, griefers intentionally using wrong passwords to lock someone else out... with Okta and other products of its kind, all an application developer needs to do is to check some token.

Another huge part is that in the "old" world there was only one player for any kind of centralized authentication: LDAP. While there were and are multiple LDAP server implementations (OpenLDAP, MS AD, Samba and a bunch of smaller ones), only Microsoft's AD has a somewhat comfortable and usable management application - but even that is using old-school Windows UI and you need a MS desktop to manage it. Everyone else? Either use Apache Directory Studio, some barely working web management UI (phpldapadmin, GOsa) or heaven forbid plain LDIF files.

In contrast, working with anything of the "modern authentication" solutions is a breeze.
Oh wow, that's an IDE I haven't heard about for a while! We used to use this in school for learning Java. If I recall correctly BlueJ used to generate some nifty class diagrams to understand how your code fits together. That's about the feature I remember though.

I'd argue the fact an IDE like BlueJ is needed suggests Java isn't an appropriate language for beginners though. And it seems in recent years schools have been preferring Python as a first language which I think is far more appropriate. My teacher used to argue Java is good for beginners because it's a strict OOP language and teaches good habits, but I question how true that is. For one, it falsely assumes OOP is a good approach for an application that asks you to enter your name then prints, "Hello [name]".

> the only cryptocurrency that is fulfilling its original promise

What was the original promise again? I don't see original Bitcoin whitepaper mentioning traceability or untraceability. There is a chapter about privacy features and no sane person would see a promise of untraceability in that chapter.

It seems that shills and spin doctors pumping their own crypto coins twist the history to their needs.
A digital signature alone cannot prevent double spending
Notice that nowadays, unlike 2 years ago, people usually recommend to use the last technique I presented there in the last paragraph before the Conclusion. Which is to generate a random value that is big enough, so that n-log(p) > 128 so that the bias will be too small to be exploitable in practice. It's simpler and unlike rejection sampling ensures your code cannot fall into an infinite loop in case your PRNG is broken. (I'd argue you might want your code to fail in that case anyway, but YMMV.)
Back in 2006-8 I had an NSF teaching fellowship, and my peers and I used BlueJ as an introductory IDE in high school CS classes. BlueJ has a feature called “Object Bench” whereby one can instantiate and invoke methods on an object. The main thing I remember from that period is that Microsoft copied that functionality into Visual Studio, calling it “Object Test Bench”. Microsoft even admitted they were influenced by feedback from BlueJ users. Imitation, flattery, right? Then Microsoft filed a patent covering Object Test Bench. Suffice it to say Kolling et al. weren’t happy, and the news made it to several popular sites (Slashdot, etc.). Having been called out so publicly, and having basically admitted their knowledge of prior art, Microsoft withdrew the patent application.

> You shouldn’t rely on these claims, because even 1 bit of bias on a 256 bit nonce value can be enough to attack certain cryptographic schemes!

This seems like a very high bar for a random generator to clear. It also raises a question: would using a larger nonce size actually increase risk, if the additional bits were biased?

There isn't any cryptographic basis to human retinas, though, to prove a scam is "real"; so, at the end of the day, this is just a centralized actor in the form of a hardware manufacturer that can forge as many retina scans as they want, with the only limit preventing any of us from doing the same being whatever DRM they can try to pile on their device.

Fair enough, but you are comparing a sure event (if you decide to get the vaccine) and a contingent one (getting covid). It's impossible to declare any of both as a clear winner. Furthermore the risk difference is negligible when compared to daily activities (like driving or making the dinner).

One of the problems here, and the source of a lot of trouble it's that sending nuanced messages it's very hard and goverments feared that being cautious could affect negatively to vaccination rates. So they took the simplistic path of presenting the vaccines as a silver bullet for everyone (and they were but in a very varying degree).

I can understand that decision but at the same time, it has thrown a lot of fair "skeptics" under the bus.

Sounds like you haven't wrapped your head around the basics of smart contracts.

Yes, a blockchain gives you an (ideally) immutable foundation. No, that doesn't mean that every transaction that invokes a smart contract has to be immutable. If a smart contract for a particular use case needs to have the ability to "backtrack", so it can, there's nothing stopping it.

It's not much effort, a few days and it runs if you start from 0. I usually do all my Qt hobby projects for Win, Mac, Linux and Android (have no iPhone so I don't try). Just make sure you leverage QML's power for your GUI.

But eventually you have to rethink the user interaction and also deal a bit with layout changes for portray/landscape, manifest, permissions and stuff and stuff. Depends on your app how much work is here.

If mobile stuff gets complicated and you need to do a lot of custom things with device hardware maybe Felgo is worth looking at. It's a Framework for mobile development build on top of Qt/QML
Something that I think most people on HN need to realize is that we are free to choose on our own, given the information presented, and that doesn't require one to be expert on biology or medical science.
Depends on what you want to do, note this information is outdated (back when Qt used to sell mobile licenses a couple of years ago).

If you are confortable doing the whole UI in QML and eventually creating your own JNI/Java wrappers for APIs not yet wrapped in Qt, it is doable.

The Qt Widgets are focused on desktop workloads, so they aren't much usable, you might even get a desktop looking dialog poping up.

If you really want to go with native Android UI route, then there isn't much help Qt can provide here.

Major blocker is that after all these years Google still doesn't provide any kind of tooling to improve JNI workflows, we only get the basic java -> header file generation tooling, e.g. javah.
