The bullet for the head to Bitcoin is all lined up now.
At this moment all the miners with inefficient rigs are going to exit system. Just the people stealing power will be left soon since the difficulty is still high. It takes a while for bitcoin to renormalize the degree of difficulty to a mining rate decline.
Thus at this moment there's probably vast amounts of excess capacity idle.
Someone could purchase that and easily have more the 51% of bitcoin. And then when all those transactions get reversed, not one will trust it any more.
I have a very vague notion about how row hammer operates but it's really vague. COuld someone explain it both in terms of how it works, how one gets sidechannel information from being able to flip the bits, and then, pratically, how one makes a nefarious use out of spotty info.
While I am enamored by the cleverness of the entire proof of work system it seems like there's an inescapable problem with the proof of work concept.
To boil bitcoin down to it's most elemental irreducible aspect there is one and only one thing that all cryptocurrencies have to do. This is prevent double spending the same token without using a central authority to regulate when a coin is transferred and can't be spent again. There's other nifty bells and whistles but that is the one thing they must do.
The bitcoin solution to this is to make it prohibitively expensive not impossible. It works by making it so that in order to spend twice you have to be able to hash the ledger at least twice as fast as the rest of the system's combined effort. If you can do that then you can spend a coin, let the transaction close, then go back to the old ledger without the coin being spent, and hash it two more times quickly. Now you have the longest blockchain and it by fiat is the one that will be accepted. In practice you might actually need to be more than 2x.
So when would it be worth it to acquire so much computing power? When the double spend value to you exceeds the compute cost.
Therefore to make it prohibitive the compute cost has to be pegged to be near (or half) the most you could steal in one transaction.
That is the irreducible cost. It's not that the computation is expensive, it's that it HAS to be expensive ot the whole process fails.
Therefore the larger the transactions on bit coin and the more outstanding coinage there is to steal, the higher the transaction costs needs to be.
Thus bit coin baked in the seeds of it's own destruction. It can't expand past a certain capitalization without becoming too expensive to hash. that part of it cannot be removed.
I use a split keyboard arranged devorak style and and I swap the left and right hand units. That way not even people who know dvorak can type on my keyboard.
We don't say, you can't arrest me till you arrest every bank robber. that's not how it works.
At issue here in both cases in not your childish argument but a larger principle. People in power get treated like they are above the law.
THis needs to stop.
THe concern you are reflecting comes down to selective enforcement. If only democrats or only black people, or only poor people get prosecuted under a set of statues it is selective. Can't have that either.
But that does not mean that just because a law was not previously enforced they cannot start doing it.
An even larger discussion is, is there a reason why these laws keep get broken-- perhaps they are too onerous. perhaps the law is just too tricky to know and do the right thing so mistakes get made by people acting reasonably.
I fully agree that the govt restrictions using govt phone for personal use lead to a hazard of people using personal phones for govt use. Having to carry two phones is a hassle. FOr people like Clinton, who is on call-24-7 even when on vacation it means you always have two phone not just when you are "at work". You have the hassle of accidentally mixing types of discussions when personal bussiness and govt bussiness happen to be the same contact for different reasons. I'd prefer it if people did do personal bussiness on govt phone so we have a record when that happens.
Thus the bottom line is:
1. Ivanka broke the law 2. She should not get off because she's the president's daughter. Were already in nepotism territory already 3. and we should separately fix the laws so this isn't so hard to comply with.
Quantum Deep Learning social networks apply middle-out compression through a on-line JIT Gig-economy stored in a continuously shared webscale Mongo DB and thus have no need to use blockchain.
The new Samsung Bixby(TM) artificial intelligence processes all six images then finds the one of them that doesn't have your fat fingers covering the lens. Then through a generative adversarial quantum neural net filter is learns to reconstruct the missing data in the photos containing your finger.
If you don't actually move when you walk then there's no sense of acceleration. Since our ability to walk is mostly mechanical, it works by arresting a fall. That is, you fall forward then stop the fall. You can do this because you are accelerating.
if you are not accelerating there's nothing to arrest.
When you wear rollerskates and try to walk normally they slip out behind you and you fall down. it's really hard to walk normally in roller skates. Yes you can do a sort of walk motion but not a normal friction push.
google's skates might be even worse since they are powered.
Because there is facebook, and it's most important feature is it's scale, there is no possibility of market entry for a competitor. Ask google.
Because there is no other competitor, there is no room to explore other bussiness models, like say not-free
Because there are no other cometitors we are stuck with facebook's bad aspects, many of which can't change because of their entrenched bussiness model
On the other hand, if facebook were to be killed and disappear, competitors would spring up. Nothing facebook provides would be lost.
thus facebook could be killed and nothing would be lost, and it's very likely now that we have the hindsight of why the bussiness model leads to bad behaviours we didn't appreciate before, the new competitors could actually succeed with different ones.
TO understand the vicious cycle imagine the following. Someone announces a subscription service providing the interconnectivy of face book. it will shed all the bad features that came from the advertising and data monetization of the human cattle and survive on subscriptions from customers.
Would you join? no. and not just because of the subscription. But because it will suck when the userbase is small. And a small userbase will also mean higher subscription fees. So this will never find a foothold.
If facebook just were killed tommorrow, and suddenly it's a lot of small companies jostling for market share then that subscription model or some other model where you are not cattle sold off for your data and the desire of others to subject you to brainwashing might become popular!
So facebook needs to be killed off due to creating some data privacy protections that make it's bussiness model go up in smoke.
You could also just try to make some criminal or regulatory laws instead but that would mean government meddling with free speech and a free-press. So that would not be a good way to approach it.
unfortunately both trump (to control it) and russian-injured democrats are looking at the regulatory approach of managing facebooks freedoms.
instead we'd be better off just killing it's bussiness model. example: make all platforms responsible for their content. that would do it. But it would be too strong and have other consequences. Perhaps simply: a $10,000 per user fine for data privacy losses. that would kill them flat and maybe be a good thing even if it killed off some other activities across the web
It's not rare earths. It's metal alloys. and the actual article lays out a lot more coincidences in recently released evidence and the book. FOr example, Cooper is suspected of learning skydiving outside Los Angeles, and so did the suspect. In the book cooper has an ad placed in the village voice wishing his wife well on her birthday. The ad happened and his wife has that birthdate. So there are some mounting coincidences. But nothing solid.
It was, for it's time, a very kinetic film with a frantically moving character constantly being transported in cars, trains, planes and running on foot. It starts in NY, goes to chicago, then south dakota, then alaska. So North by way of north west.

This is going to change things if it happens here's why:
Bounty hunters. If it's really 10K$ per call, I can offer to split my share with a bounty hunter who will track down the Mofo and collect.
That would be "heterodyne" lidar or some form of Optical coherence tomography (same priniciple). But not quantum
It detects the plane if you don't look at the radar screen
think of the canonical radar screen with the rotating antenna. it's a beam. Sure you can now do phased arrays but beams were the original incarnation
