The miners are the middlemen, and they can chose to take your transaction or not. Should bitcoin ever be actually used for payment, it's not to too far fetched to think miners could be forbidden to validate transactions involving a bla

Actually, Ingas the company very much survived and moved to the Odesa region ( https://ingas.ua/en/pro-nas/ ). And they still have Neon in their catalog so most likely another case of impressive Ukrainian resilience

Odesa is not and has been hit less than more Eastern cities. OTOH I'd assume Ingas in Mariupol ceased to exist for practical purposes.

The general point is not. Iceland and Easter Island were fully deforested way before the industrial age. Countless species went extinct in Britain and more examples abound.

I'm working on just that in some IoT context, and a lots of chips I have to deal with only have hardware support for AES-128, so it's a little more complicated...

Yeah and some of the figures often quoted like consuming 14% of the electricity produced in the US are wrong, it was below 1%. https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011APS..APRH13004R/abstra...

Yeah that's treating D-Wave "breaking" RSA-2048 as the fraud that it is. They didn't factor anything, they computed a square root. I'm still dubious about the accelerated timeline given what quite a bit of what is p

Sorry, the manufacturing learning curve. The most widgets you make, the cheapest they get. The effect was absolutely stunning for batteries and solar panels ( https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/price-of-lithium-ion-batt.

It's one more instruction only if you don't fuse those instructions in the decoder stage, but as the pattern is the one expected to be generated by compilers, implementations that care about performance are expected to fuse them.

Not cost competitive with solar+batteries in many locales (less so the closer to the poles), and no learning curve, if anything a negative learning curve, nuclear never was more expensive than new nuclear. And off course societal (and geopo

It makes devices using those (extremely popular) chips easy to clone as you can dump the firmware (firmware that sometimes also contain secrets, like cryptographic keys or API keys). Not world shattering, but damn annoying (I myself handle

Exactly, quality of code is one of those necessary but not sufficient things... If you are somehow successful without quality of code (e.g. early Twitter maxing Rails performance) you end up either crash and burning of spending crazy amount

It's pretty optimistic. They certainly cannot "uncommingle" existing stock, so you may be able to buy new product with better source assurance, but for existing products...

This is not a position based on anything factual. If you have evidence of a setting not being honoured it will be treated as a bug and fixed, there is no evidence of bad faith about that that I can recall. As for about:config, if you submit

The very useful TryFrom trait landed only in 1.34, so hopefully the code using unwrap_or_else() in From impl predates that... Actually the From trait documentation is now extremely clear about when to implement it ( https://doc.ru
