It's clearly on their mind, there was a prototype macbook from 2012 or so that had a 3G modem built into it.

The combination of colors and fonts makes this nearly impossible to read.

The pcengines APU2 will do gigabit happily on four interfaces with passive cooling and ECC memory, there’s nothing but actual servers which will do more realistically speaking.

You can’t limit to real people. If you managed to, I would make a service where people can sign up and I’ll pay to use their account. No cost to them and they make some money from it, seems totally reasonable.

The first withdraw was at around 7:45 UTC, a little over 13 hours at the time of writing this comment.

Rogers did just abruptly withdraw all their routes, then reannounced some, then withdrew them again. It's not dissimilar at least.

You can remove the block reward as a soft fork, the consensus rule for Bitcoin and its derivatives is a maximum. Even if it wasn't, you can soft fork in a rule that the block reward should be spent to somewhere invalid, or paid to a pa

Nobody would be mining OldChain so it's difficulty would be irrelevantly close to zero, you'd just just drop the requirement for POW down to something effectively gone. I said it's contrived as anything, but it's all tec

You define a consensus rule in NewStakeChain that it must include within it a valid block for OldChain that contains no transactions, or otherwise causes damage to the network by making it unusable such as a reorganization proof. Once the O

It's actually a soft fork to change the consensus method believe it or not, even changing to a new proof of work scheme is completely backwards compatible. It's not a good idea and it's sort of ridiculous, but it is technical

Generally we've described this sort of research as "review resistant", rather than being secure in some classical sense. How Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies actually work is often eagerly explained but completely unfathom

Apple proved that their ARM processors work amazingly in a laptop, not that the ARM processors everyone else has access to work well in a laptop.

Doesn't prevent someone from encoding the IP address in colors or something though.

What economies of scale? Their primary expenses, workers, are fixed cost.

The tiny OLED screens are often under a dollar and you can stuff them into basically anywhere, and run them off anything. Sure they're low resolution and monochomatic, but often it's all you need to bring something to life. The to

That's not really how they're meant to be used. Want multiple keys? Register multiple devices. Copying the same key around willy nilly just means you can't revoke access selectively. Not being able to export keys and mishandl

There's a whole lot of devices like this around at the moment but the keyboard layouts are painful. Their brand is "no spacebars included", but it absolutely rules out any serious use.

I edited the original to contain more detail as I posted it but it seems to have been lost somehow. The login flow for Tailscale is weird due to the need to accommodate things like a headless server being added, when combined with their use

I would have loved this at a company a couple of years ago which was massively all in on Google Auth for literally everything. If you're fine with that being your concrete level of authentication for everything; internal tools, externa

I'm not entirely convinced I want a feature that adds even more exposure to the sort of goofy login flow Tailscale has.

No, some altcoins actually do adjust like this to prevent their networks being "stuck" at a high difficulty.

You're within the "small miners" part of my comment.

That's one way of getting extremely cheap rates, it's called "interruptible power" in supply terms, you might be expected by the utility to drop your entire load within a set amount of time with absolutely no warning- so

It does absolutely destroy the hardware through, even very early mining farms had the sole issue of the fans in the cards burning through their bearings. A local electronics recycler had an entire crate of burned out ATX PSUs from some loca

> to prevent volatility in block hardness Kind of, it's to prevent an attack where nodes could be isolated and then duped to believe that the network difficulty is substantially lower than it should be. If we adjusted difficulty wit
