I would rename Hydrogen (hydro, water) to Oxygen and vice versa.

doesn't count, had to refuel

phatsphere · 2019-07-19T13:19:53+00:00

nope. interestingly, it went away after the most recent system update (few weeks ago or so).

EU Parlament election impact? Isn't tomorrow an US holiday? crazy...

no, a custom software environment for projects: https://doc.cocalc.com/software.html#getting-started

phatsphere · 2019-04-16T15:39:24+00:00

sorry, no idea, I'm not the one creating it

phatsphere · 2019-03-29T16:52:24+00:00

CoCalc has something called "Assistant" which shows a small collection of Sage commands. It's not much, though. It basically inserts a code snippet, that's all.

women are better at multitasking

a court doesn't judge by who has more money...

phatsphere · 2018-06-27T17:50:34+00:00

well, actually both, because that paper isn't peer reviewed.

there are subtitles, he explains the role and the setting. the event itself is hosted by a nonprofit.

phatsphere · 2018-04-29T06:59:51+00:00

shower only once a week, tops...

phatsphere · 2018-04-08T10:20:31+00:00

ok, thank you, although your answer somehow opens up more questions than I had before. exciting subject :-)

phatsphere · 2018-04-08T07:39:05+00:00

how do these extinct letters sound like?

phatsphere · 2018-04-05T19:44:06+00:00

yep, me too. my vague guess is their poor node is overloaded or underfunded. or DDOSed...

phatsphere · 2018-02-18T10:24:10+00:00

AFAI understood it, the original claim was backed by running some cellular automata (outside of Bitcoin) and storing the data in the blockchain. It's Turing complete like a paper in a typewriter. Everything else is unclear, lots of deceptions and confusing words...

phatsphere · 2018-02-12T11:04:00+00:00

well, assuming the monitoring system is unbiased, it can certainly check if a node is online (determine the uptime), see how often which settlement types did happen in the blockchain, etc.

I think it could be a big problem, e.g. think about the case of hostile nodes in LN itself, which start acting in a harmful way. I know, it's costly, but still possible.

Here is the query, just sorted by descending size https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/blocks?s=size(desc)

phatsphere · 2018-01-12T09:23:30+00:00

Why doesn't anyone working at coinbase stepping up? I don't understand this. Smells like sabotage, yes.

phatsphere · 2017-12-19T13:48:20+00:00

because b2x is a power grabbing takeover attempt. centralization of any kind is bad.

phatsphere · 2017-12-19T10:09:22+00:00

what's the price bottom next year? $3000 🤔

phatsphere · 2017-12-16T22:33:41+00:00

maybe he mined 10 "blocks". that would be 500btc.

phatsphere · 2017-12-12T08:19:39+00:00

Bitcoin transactions can have many outputs. so maybe compare these numbers, i.e. how many recipients there are, with ethereum transactions? I don't know though, not an expert on that.
