Sham bam bamina! posted:Charlier bases his argument on the fact that such discs were often found near latrines and investigation revealed “residue” on some pieces. The anthropologist also cited an image on an Ancient Greek cup showing what appears to be one of the stones being used and an Ancient Greek proverb quoted by the character Trygaeus in Aristophanes’ ‘Peace’ that said “Three stones are enough to wipe one’s arse.” like jurassic park, demolition man was an eerily predictive movie

Djeser posted:segwit is the thing that makes the transaction ID a way of identifying transactions right segwit is the thing that moves crypto signatures into a separate structure and makes blocks "smaller" because they decided that each segwit signature byte should count as 0.25 real bytes for blocksize measuring purposes it's basically a way to increase blocksize by 4x in the most convoluted way possible

this whole story is batshit wild in that it literally amounts to shut-in idiot trying to buy a girlfriend with shitcoins and then killing himself when that obviously fails but everyone is trying to turn it into some crazy conspiracy

there must be something in the air in West Virginia that makes them want to try over-complicated bullshit. a few years ago, they came up with a brilliant plan where they'd make Medicaid recipients agree to participate in health improvement programs (smoking cessation, weight-loss, etc.) in order to get full access to coverage. if the person failed to agree, or didn't abide by the terms, they'd be kicked into a plan that covered fewer services, unless they were pregnant, suffering from TBI, or any of a hundred different exemptions. this was on top of regular means-testing that people who are merely poor go through, with the periodic checks that also entails. the idea limped along for a few years—with other states salivating over the prospect of being able to pay less to cover unmotivated "fatties"— until they got sick of dealing with the enrollment packets and trying to herd people into Smokers Anonymous and Weight Watchers in exchange for decent coverage. then they just flushed everybody back into the old-fashioned program. though they continue to try to think of ways to fix the idea, so they can cut costs for medical coverage by instead paying more to data workers. maybe they're like the little brother of states or something. they jump off the roof first, and Alabama and Texas wait to see if any legs break before they go.

quote:“You take a photo of your photo ID and then they take a selfie of themselves,” Kersey explained. “Facial recognition software is then deployed to compare the photo on the ID and the photo of the person who took the picture. Only if that’s verified will you be registered to use the application and receive a ballot. Once you’re in, it matches you in the application to you in the voter registration.” incredibly secure, i mean how can someone get both a picture of an ID and a different picture of the same person that's in the ID!?

Its crazy to think how quorum-based computation (Qubic) is now the newest and most cutting edge technological ideal the world has ever seen... and we heard about it the day it was announced self.Iota Submitted 23 hours ago by zyuko22 quote:[–]Mintberrycrunchie 34 points 20 hours ago quote:[–]tending 8 points 11 hours ago internEt of thINGSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

google spanner, their global sql db, is backed by paxos, which is a quorum (consensus) dealio it's just that... spanner is made by ultracompetent peeps and they actually understand the problem and therefore involve no tokens or cryptoshit in it whatsoever and are not a shady fly-by-night operation etc etc and goog understands that paxos despite being decades old is still cutting edge

the thing with paxos is it started as an academic algorithm: get things to agree on a single value. once you got that, you can make anything from that building block. well that's the theory anyway. the trick, though, is that doing this efficiently is one of those things that's "left to the reader" and that's where things go to hell, because distributed systems are hell in the first place, and the moment you change anything whatsoever, it's entirely possible that all the correctness proofs for simpler cases no longer apply i mean there's a reason some people decided to come up with raft despite paxos existing, where two of the main goals were designing a practical consensus algo (agreeing on a log, not a single value), and making it easy to understand and reason about

Back when I taught distributed systems (spring 2008 or so), quorum-based algorithms were part of the curriculum. Like one lecture out of 30. I'm glad the butters finally invented it so I didn't waste the students' (and, more importantly, my) time.

I thought the thing with paxos was that everybody teaches it but nobody actually uses it unmodified.
