...yes?

Depends if we assume they're smuggling or dropping explosives/something dirty.

Consider: discovering context in a companion that describes the authors state of mind at time of writing.

That information may alter your perception of the primary resource.

So you're saying F. local laws that get in the way of international commerce? You could stop doing business with Jamaica, and hence put pressure on it's elected bodies.

If you don't like foreign markets, don't enter them.

I think you're missing some context on the difference between CPUs and ASICs in terms of PoW algo design and hardware cost&distribution.

Again with monero because it's pertinent to your point, I would encourage you to read up on its design goals, and the discussions around the recent PoW algo change on github or Reddit.

I'll be damned, this wasn't a troll. Today I learned...

The case of coins that optimise for consumer/general purpose hardware (by employing PoW algorithms suited for CPUs, or explicitely switching algorithms periodically) is interesting in this context.

Traditional cloud platform providers are also in a position to impact mining on those. I doubt that any coin could cope with those warehouses of potential mining power.

I'm looking closely at monero on this subject. Despite or because of their hardcore emphasis on privacy, that project has made interesting decisions regarding how to deal with potentially hostile miners.

Disclaimer: Yep, you guessed it, I hold coins, and monero is among them. I'm not saying buy XMR, but definitely take a look at their "politics".

> As it is

What makes you apparently think

1) the current state of affairs is good enough coming from anyone in the BigCorp top10, particularily those already involved un data collection as core business?

2) future iterations on any of [hardware, software, business goals] will be conform to currently reasonable expectation of use from the general public ?

I mean we're talking about a corp that has internalised "Bait and Switch" as core business model..

I don't want to comment on the "intellectual" part, but by what fancy interpretation is this a web, much less a dark one? What IS this article even about aside from name dropping "celebrities" ?

That's a different point than the one you were making!

And I didn't mean illusory in opposition to real. Is the pleasure I derive from an illusory steak in the Matrix not real?

You haven't shown that "Illusion" is transitive

I'm reading this as "There are no oligopolies in the Wild (deregulated) West", and that doesn't feel intuitively true.

>this is not a sustainable strategy for creating a stable synthetic asset

Could you give some pointers for further reading on the subject please?

Termux is awesome and a godsend to trivially shell out on android. But what I'd really want is boot to linux, choice of kernel and distribution, eventually pulling out an android layer on top of that if its UX is needed.

Basically an ARM(v8 64b) desktop-like experience in a phone sized chassis.

You don't have to bolt it to the ground though!

>They are to provide those who live or work near them a snack safe space.

>"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't vend that to you. Would you like a Dr. Pepper or Pepsi instead?"

I realise this was humour, but you framed the problem as I see it perfectly. I don't feel safe if I don't know Hal's code, especially if he's talking to all the other Hal's (be they other vending machines or information aggregating corporations). And what are the odds that these things will be open source?

While this is a fascinating subject in theory, in practice I can't imagine deanonymisation is really that hard for three letter agencies, and to a lesser extent five eyes et al. Especially if you paint a large target on yourself like OP claiming to have monitoring capabilities on his network.

I'm going with the "be famous or be afraid" school of thought of your parent comment.

Humour me please!

It appears `Cha0s, erstwhile admin of pr0gramm, after transfering admin duties to `Gamb pursued different ventures. It seems he developed coinhive independantly of pr0gramm and it's team (I can't verify this, but why not). The product was tested on pr0gramm some time ago, where users would run the miner in exchange for premium account time. The coinhive site appeared after this(, as far as I remember without mention of pr0gramm or identifying the admin as `Chaos). I don't know of anything proven beyond that.

Source?

You're mischaracterising the issue. Cheese isn't the issue at hand. Caloric efficiencies are a valid point, but here the greater harm is done by the huge thirsty corn fields that encompass the horizon.

The question as I understand it is whether the surplus production/exports are worth not scaling slightly back on the extensive farming.

Either diversifying production, letting a part of the area to fallow or splitting large "strictly for profit" farms into distinct units would have many benefits ecologically and possibly even help revitalise the rural towns.

Have you checked out the ActivityPub spec? https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#Overview

It's not blame, it's complete lack of sympathy for tech corps' complaints about the tax.

>This new tariff exists solely because the EU can't compete on technology and needs to raise barriers.

I'd argue it's a shield against unfair competition. US tech companies have a huge first mover advantage. They use that advantage to attract foreign talent and employ that talent to extract value globally. It seems reasonable to expect a financial contribution for access to foreign markets given the quasi monopolistic quality of US tech firms.

Call up Pypy, there's a marketing opportunity for next year.

Hey credit where credit is due, CCP is working very hard yo make the game enjoyable by the solo/little guys again, more options than straight up grinding. Still, hope you like multiaccount moon mining.

Does mapv not do exactly what the author needs? Ie an unlazy map? https://clojuredocs.org/clojure.core/mapv

Then you're welcome to buy a copy I guess? I mean bandwidth isn't free and the assumption is if you download a distro, you like it enough to pass a little something on to your peers or spare a dime to the distributors.

Hanlon's razor has not been proven for cases with money involved.

Especially if This Time(tm) we manage to get an open alternative running well enough for public use. I know I'm definitely going to look into ActivityPub for my social circle, and DDG is more and more credible. There's yet hope I guess!
