  1. It's not celsius, doesn't mean it's not a lot on Iranian City Soars To Record 129F Degrees: Near Hottest On Earth in Modern Measurements (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    To people saying water doesn't boil. Actually, water does boil in the streets. the 53 celsius is temperature without presense of sunlight. in sunlight we're talking well above 90 degrees celsius, wish I was joking but I'm not.
    If you just sit in a car without turning the AC on for half an hour the belt buckle can leave a mark on your arm for the rest of your life, talking 3rd degree burn here. The steering wheel can get stuck to your hand if you put your hand on it directly. my father's car has a LOT of his finger prints permanently molded into the plastic. You can cook omlets on the dashboard or on the roof.
    If there is a fly still alive in that weather --this one is actually funny-- if it lands on a car or any other metalic surface, it can't take off again.
    Only glass covered solar panels work, other types just melt. The wiring almost always melts too.
    Car batteries die a lot.
    Plastic bottles, sprays, cans, jars and anything with a lid exploding is just normal. One time, After few hours of leaving the car in sunlight I found it covered with a fine white powder as if it was painted, after hours of thinking, finding small pieces of metal and recalling who has been in the car with what items we figured out it was a deodorant spray left in the car under a tissue box in the sleeve behind the driver seat.
    You just can't have cds in the car. they fuse together like slices of butter melting.
    We don't have cement buildingi or cement park chairs. They just turn to dust REALLY fast.
    and to those saying fix it with water, there isn't even enough water to drink.

    I don't beleive the users have become retarded as much as you think they have. It's just that the scientific articles, at least the real ones are becoming extremely specific and focused and small topics that not many people, even smart ones are quallified to actually comment on how right or wrong they are.

  9. Re:Distributed index on Popular Torrent Site ExtraTorrent Permanently Shuts Down (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Block chain is ~7 Gigabytes as of now and I beleive most of its enteries are a result of days of sha256(sha256()). Even legitimate torrents can make a larger index in a year. The resulting index will sure look like the block chain. the problem is making sure it doesn't get abused. if putting stuff in it is easy then disney or MPAA or someone could just spam it with a terabyte of content on the first day. voila, no more torrents.

  10. Re:Distributed index on Popular Torrent Site ExtraTorrent Permanently Shuts Down (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    No authority is needed, because there isn't one already. In the centralized index situation, no human validates torrents uploaded to the centralized indices. Instead, the users do.

    That was my point. there is some authority.

    In a decentralized index, that limit is only in the local node, where it is easily removed. Not worth bothering to write the code in the first place.

    Maybe i should have been more clear. If you get say 50 torrents from a node in 22 hours you only advertise the first 16 to your peers if it's not in your trusted list.
    I still think there should be some restrictions because the index will become very large very fast.

  12. Re:Distributed index on Popular Torrent Site ExtraTorrent Permanently Shuts Down (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Technically speaking, It's not impossible; The problem is that it's spammable/DoSable and will need an authority to either allow/deny nodes from inserting to index or someone like our good old friend 'hosts guy' to maintain a list of known good source nodes that people can download and only share the indexes from those.
    And/Or other simple restrictions like limiting the number of torrents any node can add to the index.
    And/Or a voting system that allows all nodes to vote on others to help the client applications with prioritizing/filtering the index.
    For node enrolling, I think a memory-hard cpu-hard hash of parts/some of the index should be viable.

    As you can see there are a lot of problems with non-obvious fixes. I've been studying distributed databases for some time and i have problems putting this together. not easy.

    In a single AppDomain with one single thread and no lazy references, sure. If you write anything complex it can go straight to hell if you don't know exactly what you're doing.
    This includes every little messy detail on the multi-threaded multi-domain marking garbage collector with 3 lists and 5 heaps that traverses stacks of all threads on each collect, type inheritance with type casting direction, native calls with auto marshaling between managed and native types, AppDomains that should read eachothers' memory but not write it, etc.
