It’s good to see diamond mining being replaced by artificial diamond manufacturing, which appears to be better envitonmentally and socially.
But I wouldn’t compare diamonds to gold. Because gold is an element that can’t be manufactured (without a particule accelerator and an insane amount of energy).
Asteroid mining is still science fiction.
I guess the amount of enthalpy or energy required to summon a rabbit
There should be more textbook exercices like this. Now I want to know the answer.
Creating a temp folder does not allow to read aloud articles using TTS. That’s the only reason why I use Pocket. I don’t use it to manage bookmarrks.
The bovine distribution map on Wikipedia suggest cattle is not native to those states. I wonder if cattle qualify as invasive species in that area.
10 to 100 Times less reliable than WiFi
Yet there’s still a league that burns fuel.
Formula E hasn’t replaced Formula 1 sadly.
Anything but electrifying
The Android app has a decent read-aloud feature. Hope it will still works after the service closes. I don’t use it for article discovery, nor for sync.
What are they doing with all that oil? Is it used to oil fighters for Greco-Roman wrestling?
It looks like a Marker obelisk from Dead Space.
I’m carefully spending my money by buying less games, mostly DRM-free indie games.
She was immediately placed under expedited removal—a process to quickly remove her without the right to have her case brought before a judge
Mateo’s attorney, Luis Campos, told reporters that when he attempted to visit her at TMC, ICE agents blocked the entrance to her hospital room
Isn’t she being denied the right to a fair trial, which is proclaimed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the United States Constitution? And the right to counsel?
I hope the USA see consequences for ignoring basic human rights and the rule of law. Including effects on tourism and foreign investments; fewer people would come to a country or invest in a country that blatantly ignore the rule of law and human rights.
It’s an objective improvement over EMV which doesn’t protect privacy at all.
Taler protect payer privacy while exposing income information. Meaning it can help collect taxes to pay for infrastructure, education, public service, …
That’s a fine compromise. I hope Taler become a practical alternative to EMV and other shitty payment systems being pushed by banks.
Please pay no attention to these distraction.
Do pay attention to the felonies, unethical cuts in lifesaving aid, attempt to undermine democracy.
same on all chains. All have a proposal, discussion, implementation, waiting period (for code to be deployed), and activation
I though most of those steps didn’t occur on-chain in the case of bitcoin. But I could be mistaken.
Would you mind sharing a link with the equivalent information on bitcoin, ie its governance process and how each governance operation (proposal, vote, activation ) is handled by the chain?
I’m looking at BIP-1. It explains how to submit a proposal via mailing list and versioned repository, ie off-chain.
Also looking at BIP-9. It does rely on the chain for governance, and allow polling for the most popular soft-fork. But it focus on exclusively on testing soft forks, which severely limit its usefulness.
allowing multiple backward-compatible changes (further called “soft forks”) to be deployed in parallel.
It seems BIP-9 doesn’t provide a solution to propose/vote/activate the larger non-backward-compatible changes, ie doesn’t help prevent hard forks. And big social and environmental issues affecting bitcoin probably require such large change.
Tezos would still require all nodes to upgrade to the code which contains the new algorithm. It can’t just automatically know what the new code is. It then can schedule these to activate at a certain block using a signaling system of some sort.
Code proposal, vote on new code activation of new code, are all Tezos on-chain operation. These operations include a hash of the new code to be deployed. There’s some off-chain work happening to update tools, which I guess include compiling said code. So you’re right, some off-cain action is needed for deployment https://www.tezosagora.org/learn#an-introduction-to-tezos-governance
My understanding is that compared to BTC governance, a larger part of the process happen on-chain. Also there is a relatively smaller portion of nodes (baker) involved in creating/verifying blocks that must update. This allowed various protocol changes without forks over the years.
Funny, and sadly too plausible.
Looking forward to read an article announcing the actual release with verified information.
Publishing rumors when the actual annnouncement is hours away seems pointless. It’s not something time sensitive.
