Indeed, here is an explanation of the proof protocol used: https://spec.filecoin.io/algorithms/pos/post/ I wonder if that has ever been tested by bad actors. For Bitcoin, the proof of how the network is resil

Do these coins somehow actually verify that the storage sellers are actually storing the files they claim to store? If not, the introduction of blockchain to the equation sounds like an unnecessary externality.

Help with what? This data is from the UK. They traditionally have to deal mostly with too much rain as far as I know.

Your source does not show how the numbers on Bitcoin's energy use published by Digiconomist are "garbage" and "FUD". In fact, the energy use of these blockchain networks is subject of multiple academic studies, like

Bitcoin's resource use, comparable to a mid-size country: https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption/ Lacking viable uses outside of the criminal underworld and speculation, this is wasted energy. And it

Right. It's always "early" for Bitcoin. It's been "early" for 13 years now. A high time someone blew the whistle on this destructive madness.

What's next? Letters in support by money launderers, drug cartels, online scammers, ransomware authors and pedophiles? El Salvador made it a government policy to adopt Bitcoin as an official currency and it is not going too well - it r

Either way, it's pointless to "reprimand" the perpetrator. This could have just as well been a deliberate spam attack eg. someone using the @-mention to promote their scam-coin or penis enlargement product (and some people in

The environmental impact of Bitcoin is not any less real than the power consumption & CO2 emissions of an entire country.[1] Since limitless energy is obviously not yet here (and is very unlikely to become a reality in the short term),

It really speaks volumes to how gullible the high level managers who buy into SAFe are - and how good the SAFe consultants are at selling their "method". These people have probably ran the numbers and still somehow believe the inv

SAFe is completely insane. I feel sorry for you. I actually left my previous employer because they adopted SAFe and it essentially made working there as a developer impossible. I wrote some of my thoughts here on HN the week after I had res

I like it. It loads really fast and there's nothing extra - just AllTopLinks.com like it says on the can. BTW Probably a stupid question but what is the site with the logo that looks like a T with a hyphen/horizontal bar on top (T

Easy peasy unless your system was built before it became illegal to "haphazardly" process PII. Even organization that take GDPR very seriously and invest a lot on compliance do not generally really know all the places where their

These are all valid and sensible solutions if you are building a greenfield system. But GDPR applies to all systems, even those that were build years before its inception and the developers of whose could not in a million years have imagine

by vesinisa 4y ago
Yes, GDPR is very clear until it's not. Tell me for example how would you respect the right to be forgotten for web server access logs? The information "IP x.y.z requested /index.html at dd/mm/yyyy" is PII unde

I hear you. These so-called "privacy activists" seem to have no clue how much European corporations are spending on data management, privacy controls, legal due diligence and finally serving the customers' GDPR requests. The

If you want to go to politics, the sad reality is that Elop was neither a Trojan horse nor even the thing/person that killed Nokia. What is true is that Nokia was managed as an amalgamation of internally competing departments. The boar

Ugh? Yes, fake news is about a trust problem - people trusting sources which spread nefariously incorrect or distorted views. But no, public key cryptography or blockchain does not solve this problem. I am not sure what do you even propose

In my city (Europe) many ISPs have stopped offering fiber and are now mostly pushing 5G "broadband connection". I moved last autumn and had to get 5G. I can attest that it is pure garbage. Connection drops several times a day and
