That's not true, you are definitely trusting the database: In order to spend money, you need the cryptography to work but you ALSO need the canonical chain/database to record your transaction... you can't just send your signe

I notice that's the same Stolfi that runs the r/buttcoin subreddit, as a cryptocurrency guy I've had arguments with him before LOL.

I think it comes down to the fact that there has to be a way for lawyers to discuss the hypothetical terms of a settlement... Those kinds of discussions are really hard to criminalize, and AMI takes advantage of that fact in their extortion

It's tough... people feel like the US median standard of living has stagnated (the economic evidence is mixed on this subject) and therefore it is tempting to think there must be some shortcuts we can take to leverage our high GPD into

Well, it's sort of weird because I think at one time the thought was that "serious people" would never take a nude of themselves or have affairs, that this kind of action was somehow "beyond the pale" and an action

This is especially true because it isn't a matter of hypocrisy: Bezos isn't a political figure or religious authority claiming high moral standards.

LOL this is true, but kind of off the mark... given that the whole point of this movie is to augment low quality movie footage with post-processing.

Well I think it's clear that the Silicon Valley folks (rightly or wrongly) are getting frustrated by the focus on "incremental innovation" in technology and it sounds like this is one attempt to foster more ambitious innovati

I think it's more likely that the decrease in song length is due to the fact that "music production" is becoming a highly specialized and advanced field of work- In the old days, artists just created songs with off-the-cuff l

Does this mean it won't accelerate 2d graphics? Should I expect acceleration in gimp/emacs/etc after the Crostini patch is available?

That never works for me: after 10 minutes of running, I'd be thinking things like "Is my 10 minute rule really meaningful if I don't REALLY allow myself to quit after 10 minutes? I should quit today just to reinforce to mysel

A big part of the problem with doing it manually is the (perhaps irrational) fear that people will notice you're wearing makeup... What I find appealing about this device is that it can probably apply it in a very consistent way, day a

Well, there's no arrow on the diagram connecting "Austrian Economics" with "Modern Mainstream Economics", so the diagram doesn't really make them look all that important.

I'm definitely as hardcore of a clojurist as you can be, but I would NOT call myself "bullish" on clojure: Certainly, for those of us familiar with the language it's an awesome tool, but clojure definitely is not the &qu

I think you're referring to "association lists" which definitely predate clojure and are definitely a persistent data structure and very cool in their own right. However, their performance profile is pretty poor (i.e. O(n) lo

But few people care about overhead or executable size much anymore, outside of embedded systems. What most people care about is computational performance, and clojure performs OK by this metric (certainly SBCL can still beat it in many use

But afaik most immutable, persistent data structure libraries in other lisps either (1) had poor performance or (2) were developed after clojure and borrowed from clojure.

The main issue with fishermen is that they can't help much with data availability issues, because an attacker can just make the data available later during the arbitration process, which leads to a vector for DOS attacks against the ar
