Also the rest of the remainder-case definition looks like a typical mathematical "Fallunterscheidung" in German. Fall a1): Es gilt ... falls x < 0, Fall a2): Es gilt ... falls x = 0, Fall a3): Es gilt ... sonst.…
Amazing post, I loved this game as a kid. Interesting that the Pizza scoring rules are that simple. I remember that the in-game encyclopedia said something that kids and teens prefer big portion sizes. This led me to…
OK, then we seem to agree. I was only talking about the case that your funds can get lots if you lose your device. Because the tokens work like cash and cannot be revoked and reimbursed. Not about redemption from token…
I would strongly assume that the EMI license is about something different and does not enforce that your digital cash needs to be re-imbursable if you lost it. There is already precedent of cash cards like GeldKarte…
I am just offering personal opinion and looking into my crystal ball. You are correct on the facts. The idea is precisely to have a digital cash equivalent, in fact it will even be tracked as part of M1. I just don't…
You don't have to trust anyone with GNU Taler as it is only a free software technology and your country of choice can choose to deploy it. I guess it doesn't make a lot of sense to become a customer of the German GNU…
These are two different use cases. The Digital Euro is intentionally designed to be as close to cash as possible. This is also why GNU Taler was not a viable candidate from the start (lacks offline transactions). You…
I suspect that it will lose out against the Digital Euro. I do think that GNU Taler is the better technical solution as the blind signatures and online model require less trust in the platform, while the Digital Euro…
> Math that isn't communicated is valueless - by definition. That is quite a bold claim. Math can always be used as a tool just to achieve results. This can include even novel math. Due to the maturity of the field it…
Probably you both really mean the same thing. Every gram of body weight needs energy to stay alive. If you are in a caloric deficit, you will lose weight until your energy expenditure matches the caloric intake. If you…
IPv6 mostly (RFC 8925) is a rather nice migration option. Modern operating systems will gladly do CLAT, and old operating systems (or fussy users) can still get their IPv4 by just ignoring the new DHCPv4 option. But…
One of the main arguments for tabs over spaces was always that people wanted to configure how much space a level of indentation makes up on screen. With tabs pretty much every editor except something like notepad.exe…
We have studies since ages ago that consistency in code style is one of the most important requirements for code quality. This goes down to the details like that you should either use spaces over tabs OR prescribe…
My favorite anecdote for an astroturfing suspicion I had was in German subreddits. Whenever somebody was talking about rolled oats, without fail, somebody would chime in that Kölln brand rolled outs were strictly…
Not really something you can control, but RC always feels "unauthentic" whenever people write about it. It is often portrayed like an old-school hackerspace or makerspace but it's definitely not. It has an explicit…
At the very least, AI can review all the code you have written. You can still reject every suggestion, but in the worst it will just slow you down. No citation needed for that. If an AI were to truly confuse you…
Not sure if it's the same in Canada, but where I am from the problem is the oil from the car and at car washes the runoff gets treated by letting it go through an oil trap. The trapped oil gets disposed of separately,…
It's actually hilarious sometimes. The business models that generate most scorn and incredulity on HN are the straightforward ones. They convert labor pretty much directly to a very basic product with a clear demand by…
Yes, in the end one always has to be aware if one is turning a description into an ontological question. We identify the light beam with its electric and magnetic field, even though none of them even move into the same…
You cannot treat light as particles in that scenario. The primary wave gets absolutely and completely delayed, with no part getting ahead. It's not some photons doing something with a certain probability and then…
I always find it interesting to read takes like this. I get it, I also bounced multiple times off Elite Dangerous due to boredom. But in the end it was always intended to be Euro Truck Simulator in Space. The main…
People often say that but does the cost for handling cash really scale (even approximately) proportionally with the number of transactions or revenue? Or is it more binary that you have to decide, you either handle any…
If you actually read how GUIX (what they talk about in section 7.3) is calling a "full source bootstrap", they have brought down the compiler seed to less than 200 bytes, but also they rely on an execution environment…
The paper is not about implementing a general attack that works on all trusting-trust mitigations. It is precisely about showing that you can still propagate backdoored code if the compromised binary in your seed is NOT…
But to be fair, at least paper disposal is truly free because paper recycling generally turns a profit for the municipalities.
