The US Gov will never have an issue paying their debt because they are sovereign over the currency they use (USD). Furthermore, they have an extra advantage because the USD is the most popular reserve currency and because of this demand aro

Buy some canned food and store it in the basement. I’m half joking, but I knew an old fellow in my grandmother’s village that almost starved during WW2, who developed a habit of storing non-perishable food, so that no matter how low the cha

If Bitcoin becomes big enough I think central banks will make a major push to ban it because it would severely diminish their power. My concern is that in such a scenario our monetary freedoms would be severely curtailed, and we would slide

If interest rates are kept near zero and central banks open deposit accounts, the role of the banking system disappears. Their main role is to allocate money based on their risk management framework, but if money costs zero this need is ver

I enjoyed both seasons, even though they were quite different. I hope they make a 3rd one.

If you read again my comment you will see that I made a point about how common the term is. Once again, your version of the definition is just not wide-spread. If you do a google search for "bare-metal", the vast majority of pages

I am a professional in the field for many years and your version of the term is not widely accepted. There is a wikipedia page which describes the accepted definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bare-metal_server

What is the core argument for this position?

What does it mean, in your opinion?

That’s not how it works. Miners follow the chain with the most users and highest economic share. Check this article if you want a more accurate depiction of how it went: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcoin-inde

As far as I remember miners favored the block increase while a critical mass of validating users didn’t.

I want to second this. Phenomenal material which does a very good job at staying neutral.

You should use HN as a gauge for mainstream acceptance instead of relying on it for giving you an edge.

The AWDL driver is running in the kernel, so most likely not the whole file sharing system.

What we need is a capability based security system implemented in the OS, which is not easy to implement. iOS is going in the right direction.

Certain components cannot be scaled by just adding more machines. For example, scaling a matching engine is slightly more involved than that.

Yeah, that makes sense. I wouldn't expect the same price point as an RPi and would love a higher performance CPU, but I think they are not out there at the moment. Wouldn't mind having something like 8 graviton2 cores and an nvme

Does anyone know any board that is similar to RPi 4, with 8GB of RAM or more and a SATA port or an nvme slot? ARM would be great.

Fantastic job to both of you! Really appreciate the high quality work you folks have been doing on maddy and the email libraries. Are you guys running migadu as well? I might just switch if you are related.

What about firewalling? Do you know if there is a way to setup a system wide firewall that doesn’t exclude Apple processes?

So it’s slightly less worse than sending the hash of the app. Still very bad. And as I said previously, depending on a network call to start any app is not ideal.

But I don't want to turn it off. I want to benefit from checking the revocation list without sending my data to Apple on every app start, even if I am vulnerable for a few hours, until my computer syncs the revocation list. I want a mi

I agree that app signing is good, but I disagree that we have to give in and accept the potential risks of fully trusting Apple. I think there is a practical middle way that protects non-technical users without usurping their privacy, and a
