It doesn’t even do that. You can easily have one unique NFT claiming it represents ownership of the Mona Lisa, and another, unique and distinct NFT, also claiming ownership of the Mona Lisa. Besides ownership being unenforced, uniqueness i

That's the absolute best case for the simplest malloc implementation possible. In the real world, a malloc can involve picking an appropriate zone/arena based upon allocation size & the current thread, obtaining locks, chasing

But that's my point, it is already NOT in the EVM , the cost is so high that the author didn't commit the code to it - ethereum fell at the very first hurdle!

Never mind 100 years in the future, this game of life implementation isn't running even now . As the article says, it would cost $80 just to register the code to run it, never mind funding each compute step. And yet your phone could c

Everything else, I'd assume. Their FAQ page does have a relatively clear summary: https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/security-and-privacy/answer...

My interpretation is that they can't do that (if what they say is true). They specifically say that they cannot see the content. This would seem to preclude profiling/summarising the data, because the profiler would have to see

It seems a fair place to ask about it, IMO. I doubt they are expecting that only the OP will answer, there seems to be plenty of rust proponents on here.

Good point! We'd be living in a world where the lights flicker every ten minutes as gigawatts of power are momentarily switched on and off :) Or miners would have to install gigantic capacitors to fill with charge, just to power their

To be less glib, I think the article makes it clear just how inordinately difficult blockchains make their lives when they have to build, from scratch, a reliable definition of time. If you could have a trusted time source, you could at a s

Time is money. Bitcoin is wasted time. And wasted money. And wasted energy.

This concept of a ‘social contract’ is messed up. It’s a way of saying ‘I can only fully enjoy my ownership of this item if a central authority tells me I can’. That’s just crazy, who in their right mind would want a world like that. Why do

It’s telling that the amount is always specified in dollars, because that’s the stuff that actually people want and use. And if you wanted to convert it to usable dollars, it would cost thousands of times more.

If we mmap a lot of files, _exit(2) is not instantaneous but takes a few hundred milliseconds because the kernel has to clean up a lot of resources. As a workaround, we should organize the linker command as two processes; the first process

I didn't specify a direction, so I'm not sure how I can be describing the wrong one? My point is that the price of ethereum doesn't have to move at all and yet his mining rig will become unprofitable after a time. The hash

My mining rig will stay profitable until the ETH price is at ~900$ I don't think this is at all true. Even if the price of the crypto remained stable, the mining difficulty will keep on increasing as more miners join. So after a time

That's a short-sighted, american-centric view. In the rest of the world, prediction markets (e.g. Betfair) have existed for decades. It's not a technology that needs decentralisation or its own currency, so why on earth is it expe

I guess that’s an admission that this current blockchain concept is flawed as it stands, right? I’ve yet to see any truly decentralised oracle either...

If something is already known and collectively validated by history, then you don’t need a blockchain to prove anything. Conversely, it is the previously unknown things that would most need some confirmation of authorship, yet here the bloc

It’s now listed in the blockchain and universally recognized by the world that you are the rightful owner of the work. No it’s not. Anyone could have put an artwork on the blockchain, even if it’s not theirs. Just because Alice uploaded a

No-one said that Apple directs all (or even most, or even just a significant proportion) of their mapping efforts there. Should they ignore a continent?

There's imperfect analogies, and then there's completely unrelated 'analogies'. It was the OP chose this analogy in particular, it kind of implies that they consider the situations to be similar.

The tool 'powertop' is very useful here, it will show what is causing any form of wakeup on your system, and offers a 'Tunables' tab with suggested settings to improve some aspects.

Why does this make sense to do on an individual level? If there is ample warning of price spikes, shouldn't we be expecting the power companies to do the energy hedging? Why make thousands of people do the job instead of the one single

Why are you assuming that the poor are demanding t-shirt and shorts temperatures? Please stop making up strawmen. And when did dishwashers come into this? Are you really expecting that poor people should be buying brand new 'smart&#x27

68 = they deserve the pain, 67 = all ok? It's not about the absolute numbers, they were presumably just picked out of a hat. It's the general concept. Why is there so little empathy on here?

If anything, the poorer people will be the ones going to 68. So your grand plan is to let the poor freeze while the rich stay warm?

You're comparing filling up the car to literally freezing. Find some humanity!

The real fix here is to have more residential customers either knowing the minute by minute pricing This is insane. Do you really believe that individuals are going to be monitoring the energy prices like a rabid day-trader, making '
