Most of original soundtrack tracks are designed to played on a loop. You can get an SPC music player (eg. ZXTune for Android) and listen to this on loop for as long as you like.

The real track name is called "Mysterious" and is credited to Hirokazu ("Hip") Tanaka, Ryoji Yoshitomi and Kazumi Totaka. If you're familiar with Hip Tanaka's work you can definitely see his influence shining t

In layman's terms, sounds like it's something which is difficult to guess but not necessarily difficult to crack?

As a native English speaker, for the most part I typically know what someone means when they say "gl-OW-kester square" or "Green-witch mean time", so don't worry about it. I have a Russian friend who has specifical

Only a couple of months back I saw what seemed to be perfectly good solar panels (I'd estimate an 8kw system) having a backhoe rip through them (and the roof they were attached to) to make way for a future apartment block. I'm sur

IKEAs response is a bit disappointing, though. They could've come out much more strongly against the FSC and the allegations ie. something like "we're taking the Earthlink report very seriously and will be working with the FS

I wouldn't say it's trivial. EMPRESS is one of the most talented crackers on the scene at the moment and it took ~2 months for this release. Arguably, without EMPRESS, the crack would have taken a lot longer.

Probably one of the most subtle things about this whole bit that I've only now noticed is that George takes 4 buns out of each pack of 12, but gets 3 packs. That makes for a total of 24 buns across 3 packs, instead of just buying two o

You're operating on the assumption that the elite make their money passively. Putting money in a bank isn't even enough to keep up with inflation at the moment, the same is true for Proof of Stake coins, too.

> button-clicking and datacenter-construction Which of these two scenarios seems to favour the rich, in your mind?
465.
by 22c 5y ago
There are more effective ways to make money in PoS networks than staking. Staking is not all that profitable, really. The rich get richer at a rate which is comparable to a Vanguard ETF but the price volatility is much higher than a Vanguar

Scant technical details in the article, but I assume this is part of a "Proof of Identity" scheme. I think, ultimately, Proof of Identity solves a lot of "fairness" problems that other schemes don't solve, things li

Yes, you are quite correct. I believe the point still stands, that there is nothing inherently pegging collateral + reserve to it's loan value. If the risk of default is too high, banks usually won't give out loans without some fo

>The loans have collateral behind them, often real estate. There's still an assumption that the real estate can be liquidated 1:1 for the loan value, though. I think the difference is not so much the collateral, but the insurance.

Yeah, I took issue with that statement. >In practice they’re quite difficult to convert to real money. In practice they're quite easy to convert to real money, they're often the most liquid pairs available and extremely easy to

You seem be shifting the goal posts. Do you find it fishy that these early samples were not fully sequenced, and that the parts that were sequenced were later deleted?

Yes. I agree, birth rates have been lower in many places before the pandemic, probably in gradual decline over the last 60 years. Perhaps I should've clarified that I fully expect that we'll be dealing with an ageing population in

by 22c 5y ago
Macabre question, but a serious one. Has the birth rate dropped below the death rate? If not, then the naive approach to me, would be that this all works out in the wash. More specifically, does the years of life "lost" due to pre

Seems out of character for AWS to deprecate something without at least notifying customers of a schedule. Does this commit even reflect that BitTorrent support is being dropped?

I'm only talking about Pieter Hasekamp's arguments, which don't seem to be good ones. If he wants to argue that Bitcoin is a pyramid game, that's a different argument, but I can't see many people taking him seriousl

The HN headline is a bit alarmist. The headline I see is "CPB director: The Netherlands must ban bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies". This is the opinion of the CPB director in a letter, so it's not binding in any way. > A
