Next time, just put "Disclaimer: I work for Oracle"
You can also use smaller frameworks (Vertx? Javalin? possibly Spring Boot 2). I hope that with Java 9 we won't see this amount of memory usage anymore, however our organisation isn't there yet though.
Aliencoin when?
What's dodgy about that? I think everyone here would love to buy a virtual dollar for 90 cents. Especially given the behavior of the market the past month.
Because there's a "type 2" diabetes epidemic, and instead of doctors telling people to stop eating for a while, they sell them insulin.
Currently a human is making the judgement call to ban someone, based on their feelings. They could very well be looking at misinformation, but have no way of verifying.
The address banned could be completely unrelated to this hate group, maybe the hate group doesn't even exist, this is the point the poster was making. You easily can misinform, and get someone behind a protonmail address banned.
This is not to say that there aren't better sweeteners than sugar, but anything saying "less sugar" or "zero sugar" is likely just a technically correct marketing ploy.
Intermittent fasting and fasting on water (with some salt) has been working very well for me. Burning away 3kg per week. Not really losing muscle, just burning away my fat at an insane rate. Just don't consume carbs or sugar (or "zero sugar" crap). Eat vegetables. Read labels.
Well, this is what happened. It was a few years ago on some IBM copy of Linux, don't know the exact system or shell. It was like Linux except most of the things you'd expect to exist on a Linux box were missing.
I've also seen a sysop once using curl or wget in such a way that it would print out the response, while checking for an image file; it outputted all kinds of special characters. Then, afer some magic character was printed, their terminal would start interpreting the rest of the output as commands. The commands were gibberish, nothing happened, but very dangerous nonetheless.
Youre making it sound not only as if only kids watch this, but also like playing any sport at all is so much different - and then compare it to Reality TV instead of live sports. Actual WTF? Some of the streamers (variety streamers) do play for just entertainment value, but most stick to just one game. A lot of it is also being able to live chat with other people watching and interact with the person streaming.
> This isn't like F1 racing where I'll never be able to afford a racecar, or football where I don't want to exercise.
Why isn't it like that? That's exactly what it is. Do you have any idea how long professional esports players competing in tournaments have to work, to stay at the top level? And do you think they can play at the same level on the average person's hardware? Have a look at Starcraft 2, Counter Strike Source, or Osu!. These are games where top players make 100+ strategic actions per minute, need to have lightning reaction speeds and accuracy, and make bursts of 10 actions per second for full minutes, respectively.
How can it be such a shock to non-gamers that people watch other people play a game, rather than play it themselves? Just imagine it - people watching a game! /s It's exactly the same as every professional sport that has ever existed.
To perform this amount of hashing with this example it would take 3TJ. Or for comparison, the energy in about 170 barrels of oil, for one Bitcoin transaction.
The numbers may be a bit off, but they're not off by a factor 100, and my house for sure doesn't even need 1/100th of this to run a day.
Very funny for a currency with no central control that a few people in central control can just call off a hard fork, and make ridiculous amounts of money in doing so.
Just go to Google and type in "<product> vs " and let Google's autocomplete suggest the top competitors.
No need for sites like these.
> Good job securing ANY of your systems against me.
You completely missed the point of my post. To quote another post;
> In meatspace there's the advice of "don't leave valuables in your car in plain sight," that's uncontroversial but its also security through obscurity, covering up your iPad when you leave it in the car doesn't mean you don't lock your door.
Most attackers are just systems that are scanning parts of the internet for the low hanging fruit. They want easy targets, they don't want to spend time on your systems, and they like using their usual tools that work for everyone else. They aren't going to put in the effort to work out your slightly different hashing method and make a GPU based cracker for it. They aren't going to employ a giant network to bypass fail2ban. They arent looking for nonstandard ports. Etc, etc.
Yes, you can hypothetically have an attacker that works around all your obfuscation, but it simply requires much more effort. By employing these kind of techniques, you beat the script kiddies and the automated systems, which in my experience is 99% of attackers.
I certainly wouldn't get 16TB of disks just for that if it were ever leaked.
Bummer(not for me :p) that you guys went the route of patenting it and keeping it proprietary & only available through an API.
I think it would be adopted in no time if it were open source, and I'd definitely like to see something like this available as a service on clouds like GCP/AWS/Azure/etc for my day job.
