In part I think the difference is the user/customer-base. For Google or Facebook their CEO's actually have to pay lip-service to user-data-privacy and pretend to be outraged at government surveillance because it would hurt them ec

Is there a significant advantage? Either-way you just need to fill /dev/random enough for /urandom to be well seeded.

It's simply not a difficult problem: there are no consensus requirements between individuals, so scaling can't be made any harder by increasing N.

I'm really not seeing what you gain out of running fine-grained control all-the-time here. Even if it were vital for a customer that you hit a budget target exactly you could dynamically change the granularity of control as you got clo

by hurin 11y ago
Why does this need to be in real-time, if their daily budget is $1000, you can still wait quite a bit and then apply increments in aggregate (e.g. hourly)? More so it sounds the customers aren't inter-connected - it hardly seems like t

Ripple is semi-centralized, so unlike Bitcoin they can in fact enforce actions against them in a way that affects all of the protocol users.

That's not answering my skepticism to GGP's post - what he is saying is: a non-charging plugged in device has a significantly hotter battery than a non-plugged in device because of thermal-conduction across a non-charging wire?

by hurin 11y ago
I'm not a hardware/electronics guy, but I'm rather skeptical that this is any kind of notable amount - do you have a reference?
79.
by hurin 11y ago
Why would the battery be heated if it's not charging? You can set a gap - e.g. 80-100% where the battery won't start charging until it drops below 80%. Look at the documentation for your relevant power-management module.

by hurin 11y ago
You can control the battery % at which a device will begin and stop charging - so there's no need for this. Idk what all this misinformation is about.

How could it be slower than a mutex? Is it from compiling all your increments to use LOCK? What exactly were you timing? That sounds really strange..

You could do some anonymous block-chain ledger type-service, really doubt that it would win over simply bit-torrent though, and ultimately I'm kind of biased since I really would prefer that real creators get to exercise their rights.
