I don't understand how 2FA would stop this attack. The attack described involves phishing for a one time code like what most 2FA methods give.

So it requires one on-chain transaction per pair of parties instead of one per transaction? Clever and I suppose useful but seems a little limited in use, given that the funds are locked the whole time. Good for two parties that frequently

I'm missing how you can have a transaction that is not broadcasted but that prevents a double spend. Can't I give two different people signed transactions for the same bitcoins? How could the second recipient know I've alrea

I'm confused then, doesn't this still need one transaction in the block chain for every transaction?

Does this stop a double spend?

Yeah it feels like the author is strawmanning what "I have writers block" means. It's not that they've forgotten every word in the language. They have thoughts. Those thoughts are probably like "I hate this writers

Surely the architect working on this building is the one to listen to about this building.

It certainly is good, but I've never found a great dev setup. It seems like you have to force a full recompile of all cython in the project any time you make a change. At least that was the stated process for the statsmodels library. A

On your first comment, as far as I know the big contributor seems to be the Delta variant which arose and became prevalent in India at a time when it had very low vaccination rates (and from a different vaccine). In a hypothetical world wit

I just finished reading Don't Shoot the Dog by Karen Pryor, which is apparently a classic popular account of animal training based off Skinners ideas. It's pretty interesting but a little too self congratulatory. The short summary

I was also wondering this. But note that x^y is always perpendicular to x, so really only has two degrees of freedom while you need three to recover y (knowing x). Add in the dot product part to make up for it.

by tgb 5y ago
Yes, only three. As defined, two bivectors are equal if their areas are equal and if their oriented planes are equal. Therefore two more degrees of freedom are absorbed by taking rotations of the two vectors in the plane.Along with the resc

You're right about that being wrong, and the author makes the same mistake consistently, but otherwise it looks correct. Some steps have details elided where it maybe should have been noted that things were being skipped, but with corr

I assume rotating isn't for the health of the plant but for giving it a more symmetric and fuller appearance.

Sure it's not 100% of the time but that's besides the point still. Isn't NIFO a bad fit for the times when per-unit costs are decreasing? And since this happens fairly regularly it seems like a bad choice period, or at least
77.
by tgb 5y ago
But my point was that variable but decreasing costs seem to throw NIFO off too. Aircraft are the extreme example but I'm sure the first of Tesla's latest car model costs more to produce than the thousandth. Not even counting capit

Is "NIFO" really the right way to do accounting? If you sell the government one aircraft carrier, the cost of producing a second one will be much lower, so NIFO doesn't seem to fit there.

That's how many it takes to "represent" a neuron. But what does that mean and is it relevant? I haven't checked the original research, but if it means to model the results of a neuron, then it's not relevant (unless

So what do carpenters use for analogies?

I actually find the forced structure of most non-math journals to be pretty terrible for readability. Why are results and methods forced to be separate? It means you have to play the 'connect the dots' game of figuring out which p

I got mine in April and it involved standing in line for an hour before being let into the DMV to sit in line inside. It cost something like $50, too. I wouldn't call it convenient.

PMC is where papers go that are required to be open access due to funding or chosen to be open access in the life sciences, generally speaking. It's the official place for these and a legal copy. Sci-hub generally isn't. If you su

True but doesn't change the conclusions dramatically, does it? If a heat pump is twice as efficient as electrical heating then you're still displacing half the wattage from your rig with reduced heating. On the other hand, taking

Interesting. Can you expand on an example of a 'new' human right that would be authoritarian in nature? I don't really understand the "right to development" example. It looks like it was adopted by the UN already in

Only sort of true. It doesn't make sense to compare n dimensional volume to n+1 dimensional volumes, so the limit of the volume of an n-sphere isn't meaningful. The limit that does make sense is the ratio of volumes of n-sphere to

Of the five "obvious" words, two of them are used to say that something is not obvious and your last two examples are something entirely different. The uses here seem quite reasonable. But these words should be helpful, not insu

Do you know if there is a non-self-reported 'trait curiosity' factor? I.e., regardless of how curious they say they are, are some people just curious about more things than others? And if so, does that correlate with intelligence?

Do these questions have explanations? Almost none of them sound to me like plausible "last questions" so I'd like to know what the askers were thinking.
