I think you're going to need a stronger argument for "Why not WebRTC", or at least concrete proposals about what parts of the API you would change. For example, "SDP parsing is too complex, have a JS API to set up a clie

That's just IETF terminology. Number assignment is one of the last things to happen - so if it has a number, it's done.

You can already play Wikipedia's audio files on Edge or Safari. Try it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Adventure_Lights.ogg Spoiler: it's ogv.js.

Luckily, those mostly slot in at clean locations in the presentation: amdgpu replaces radeon, vulkan replaces the bottom half of mesa.

I noticed this project is missing quite a few features common to modern image codecs, such as variable transform sizes, deblocking, or intra prediction. Of course, it's a work in progress, so those things could still be to come. Have y

There's a huge marketing push at the moment for this fork as well on one of the Bitcoin subreddits. I suspect it's being pushed by ViaBTC, which just launched "futures trading" for it (as well as probably being the only

For those unaware, "Bitcoin Cash" is a proposed future fork of Bitcoin. The primary miner supporting it also runs an exchange, so what they are effectively trading is "future promised coins" once they start actually mini

I think the reason the design is this way is because it was really convenient to get the ASN.1 format out of OpenSSL for the first implementation. If the protocol was designed today, there would be no ASN.1 involved at all. (see other comme

Note that base58 for addresses was generally considered a mistake - there's a replacement for Bitcoin proposed here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0173.mediawi...

Even disregarding any flaws, I'd still consider it a blockchain - just one where each block only holds a single transaction.

It wouldn't, though a lot of the initial "Web 3.0" hype seemed to imply that, such as this post by a cofounder [1]. Even their website used to mention Facebook [2]. [1] https://web.archive.org/web/2014072

Even if you hand-roll a transaction, when you try to send it, Bitcoin Core will parse it and refuse to send it if the fees are too high: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2949

by TD-Linux 9y ago
That information is out of date - in particular, "priority" is long gone. Nowadays most miners (and Bitcoin Core) maximize for highest fee profits - basically select transactions highest fee/kb first.

It seems that this operates on the same principle as The Thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device) Several devices in the ANT catalog also rely on radio reflection, for example this video transm

I think that's why TFA suggested only doing this in CI (with a known compiler version) and not for local builds.

Yes, the third citation is a transcript of his talk in the Future of Bitcoin conference. For those curious, you can also watch it on Youtube [1] (warning: maximum cringe). He mentions the PGP key, but only connects it to the Australian Tax

If you have such a copy of the SGI endorsement letter, why don't you post it? I don't think a press release written by Craig Wright is particularly compelling evidence. That said, I don't actually doubt that the SGI letter ex

CoinGeek is either run by or paid for by Craig Wright. You can see that all of the articles are either strongly in his favor or in line with his recent opinions [1]. Craig Wright is a known fraud and scammer, who claims to be Satoshi. He n

The linear motor is confined to the rails behind the cabin. It's basically a bigger version of the linear motors seen on some CNC equipment.

Opus does something similar in the frequency domain, but much simpler. It just copies codewords (minus energy) from lower bands to higher bands. It also lets you signal the energy of the copied bands (something you wouldn't have access

Yeah, it's a neat motor design, but it doesn't support the headline - 6% greater power to weight of the motor.

How is the coin value jumpstarted, then? Who do the scientists sell the tokens to for real money?

This has been tried - the problem is that FLAC works by removing redundancies and correlation in the audio signal. When you subtract an Opus encoding from the original, the resulting difference file is the difference, which is much less cor

The AOM patent license covers any implementation of the format. It additionally covers the reference implementation, because the encoder may use techniques that aren't part of the bitstream format, and it's important to grant ri

Not exactly the same situation as Ubuntu - the MP3 decoding checkbox downloaded Fluendo's decoder, which was actually properly licensed. But otherwise you're correct (FYI, there are EU and JP patents too).

>To date all major tokens have either a fixed amount of tokens right away or eventually (e.g., BTC) or a rate of inflation that asymptotically goes to zero (e.g., ETH). These are both incorrect. BTC has inflation that asymptotically goes

If you come up with a patentable idea, you can specify its implementation in either hardware or software in the patent (or just be ambiguous). However, if your idea alone is unpatentable, you can't add "implement it in software&qu

Nope, an abstract idea has always been invalid. Alice vs CLS Bank found that "on a computer" wasn't a sufficient inventive step to transform an abstract idea into something patentable [1]. This can be used to invalidate a cla

Yeah, it'll depend on your jury whether they consider an emulated register to still be a register as described. However, what's super common in these sort of patents is to duplicate the same claim language several times with sligh
