Attackers can still outsource the PoWs. The sybil is the assumption that 1 PoW == one PC. But you can force this assumption with provisioning keys at least.

I'm wondering if there is a more elegant way to solve sybil attacks here. For example: many CPUs are provisioned with key pairs that are unique to the processor and can be verified with the CA root cert of the issuer (Intel, AMD, etc.)

Really surprised by the positive comments here. The article provided a grocery list of concurrency primitives which IMO: was designed to paint the misleading picture that concurrency in Python is too hard (when everyone just uses the excell

Nice OP. How would you say this compares to the inbuilt 'sqlite3' module in Python? Is it more or less portable? Different features?

I am always curious what kind of candidates the competition are. You have a unique insight as someone who does hiring.

I believe the market really is just bad right now. When I was job searching it probably took me 3 times as long. I noticed that there were hundreds of applicants per role when normally I'd have noticed less than 20 maybe? Even at my cu

I'd say something like this: the average person isn't doing anything that complex with money. They can use cash for instant, real-time payments (with good counterfeit prevention), and can generally rely on their banks. But this is
