   As long as your problem can be defined entirely by data from the previous block and there is a nonce you can vary you can adopt proof of work to just about anything. The problem is that for most problems you don't want to explore the s

   A strong argument is that using an already existing car (buying used) is way better for the environment that creating a new car, regardless of the MPG. Obviously if you play with the numbers (CO2 per mile driven, # of miles in life of car,

   Wow they were really committed to resolving their issues in public. It's pretty interesting to go through their github issues. It's amusing to contrast the difficulty of tipping another internet user before cryptocurrency and afte

   Yeah I suppose I mixed up the ordering of things. I view the NFL thing as less about whether employeers should be able to fire due to stating public opinions. If their public image is important to their job or they are doing it on company t

   I love econtalk, but there are def some duds. Usually the problem is that they just drag on with Russ and the Guest agreeing upon something. Here are a few that I enjoyed recently: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2017&

   > 51% of Democrats support a law that requires Americans use transgender people’s preferred gender pronouns. That is pretty absurd. > 65% of Republicans say NFL players should be fired if they refuse to stand for the anthem. This more

   As a long time econtalk listener I am kind of disappointed with this week's episode. I don't feel like they really elaborated beyond "we should have permissionless innovation"

   If you are worried about them breaking it as they develop it, but like the current implementation then just use the current implementation. If you feel like having tests are a blocking feature for you then just watch this issue: https:&#x2

    Once robots can fix the shelving problems cheaper than humans then they will replace those jobs. As it stands total cost to fix an individual shelving problem likely dropped. In this case it'd be surprising if Walmart employed more peo

    If cops are charging people that didn't even commit a crime then selective enforcement isn't really your biggest problem.

    Outlawing something that large portions of the population already do can be a pretty worrying thing. It's the perfect breeding ground for selective enforcement.

    Yeah selective enforcement could make this a pretty powerful tool for harassing anyone you don't like.

    If that's the case you could also boost the replication # of a given folder/file in HDFS and see a similar speed up. There are circumstances where IPFS is nicer by default, but it might not be something that is a clear winner.

    Are you interpreting the speed up as due to less contention for the NameNode's resources?

    by XR0CSWV3h3kZWg 9y ago

    I can't seem to pull up any more info on this. The write up really doesn't explain why ipfs would have perfomed better in this case. Is it because the data in question is replicated more times? Is it because ipfs protocol is faste

    Bitcoin will never be the most interesting w.r.t technology, but it has the potential for having the highest market cap. It has a huge network effect, and currently stands as the major conduit for fiat to any other cryptocurrency.
