Online games give gold to their users liberally as positive reinforcement for playing the game. That's probably not compatible with a strict minting schedule constrained by a proof of work system.

Mining algorithms that have aspects that are thought to be harder/more expensive to implement as ASIC chips. For example, Ethereum implements a number of tactics to achieve that: - relatively large memory size and bandwidth requirement

Anecdotally, that exact graph has been posted on the bitcoin subreddits frequently since 2011, each time fitting the price chart rather well. On that basis, it's not crazy to imagine that today's long term trend will become tomorr

He'll only do that if the political environment becomes an active impediment to building a city on Mars, since taking over the world is a fairly major distraction.

Or maybe "you deserved your postcard along with millions of other postcards to get systemically OCR'd and entered into a government database" ? Concepts of scale and intent are rather central to this discussion. This isn&#x27

The timeline seems close to that HN item: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8416393 (dead link, cache at http://archive.is/PpCth ) It could be entirely unrelated.

old accounts. the reason for the "vast majority" and "in some cases" terminology is very likely because the user records only get updated when the user logs in. for accounts that haven't been used in a long long tim

You'd need to know those domains exist to resolve them. This unusual (mis-) configuration allowed to enumerate those domains exhaustively.

Typescript is sufficiently close to JavaScript that it doesn't really feel like it's treating JS as some invisibly underlying assembly-like layer. In practice, you can use as much or as little typing as you want, and the compiler

I wonder how this relates to ethereum's Casper proof of stake mechanism.

There are ways to look at a number of deleted comments in those threads, and very few if any seem to be deliberate attempts at community sabotage. On the contrary, most end up being made by people feeling compelled to share their opinion, o

I think he's trying to argue that Comodo's radical business idea of "you can get a free certificate for 90 days before having to buy it" has been literally stolen by Let's Encrypt's "You can renew your fre

sorry I was on mobile when I first commented. I meant to say that if your /redirect entrypoint returns a Header that looks like Refresh: 0; URL={url} Your visitors' browsers will remove the referer header altogether when

The URL refresh thing can be done without JavaScript by having a little server side entrypoint that redirects to a destination URL with the same header. I believe it should be widely supported.

I think I remember a time where LinkedIn was getting a bit of flack for their practice of "encouraging" new users to share their address books with them, which would mean that, at best, LinkedIn could create "ghost" acco

Is indoctrination even needed at this stage? Are there openCL equivalents to the popular GPU-accelerated NN frameworks/libraries? You only need to convince people when they have another choice.

It's not over until it shows up in a few mainstream media pieces. Maybe some music videos, or the intro of an HBO show.. Until then, enjoy your eyes and dog faces on family pictures.

In general, I suspect you'd get more benefit from starting new projects with TypeScript than "converting" existing ones. The module/class/types system tends to push you in certain direction for your overall design,

Marriage between two consenting adults is not a slippery slope to bestiality. I'm not sure why this keeps coming up in some circles. Is it maybe due to some difficulty accepting that gays are people too?

But you can counterfeit paper gold, which is what this is. Or perhaps more accurately, you can default on a promise to redeem a paper debt for a given amount of gold. The US Dollar is at least upfront about it. It cannot be redeemed for gol

For historical context, early IE browsers weren't hardcoded to use JavaScript. We know about VBScript, but really there was a generic framework called Active Scripting that would allow any other language to be plugged in. Python was on

http://peterjensen.github.io/idf2014-simd/idf2014-simd points to an experimental chromium build that apparently has a SIMD.js implementation as well, written by Intel. No idea if the source for that is available, or wh
