It’s interesting that this article takes some time to describe how the protocol have been conceived for the dogs to not suffer from the experiment. And that by using familiar vocabulary.

It wouldn’t happen for any other animal (ok, maybe for the evil creatures named cats).

It’s not that the scientists took care of the dogs that impress me (it was even needed for the experiment) but that the article author felt that it was important enough to mention it multiple times.

Imagine if the subject was a mouse.

That's because we still live in a speciesist society.

It’s weird how you noticed they are twisting facts to match their agenda on a specific topic, and somehow still think they’re not doing the same elsewhere.

Mediapart is a very unreliable source.

As opposed to what?

I love kagi, I use it myself, but this won't be ''the next google'' for the simple reason that kagi isn't a free service.

So what?

"Sorry, no." Done. Either it's a shitty enough work environment that they'll fire you, in which case they would have gotten around to it any way, or it's not, and they won't, and nothing happens.

Why even be sorry

Every couple of years I'm reminded of the scale of the universe and I'm just as shocked every time.

Mondialisation · 3 years ago

You're only reminded of the scale the universe is not

They make me think about 3D renders with oversaturated lightings rather than real pictures with filter on them

This is the kind of pain that comes from trusting scammers and nincompoops about unworkable blockchain "scalability" fixes.

Here's the sequence. Those dumb enough to ignore it are doomed to repeat the pattern. I'm probably getting some details wrong in this Rube Goldberg scheme, so feel free to correct.

1. Citing "Ethereum network congestion," Axie Infinity announces an ethereum side chain, Ronin.[1]

2. Ronin was a centralized server (therefore fast and cheap) authorized to make Ethereum Mainnet transactions. The server was a hot wallet in other words.

3. The Ronin team tried to make it look like they were "decentralized" by splitting signing authority among 9 "validator nodes." (the article)

4. An attacker obtained 5 of 9 keys, which is the signing threshold.

5. With the required threshold of keys, the attacker signed the transitions moving assets off the Ronin servers.

None of this is new. The Bitcoin "block size war" was fought over this very point. Unworkable scaling schemes are going to end in disaster with no fallback, and no recourse for those who lose money. You end up with nothing, and will be sad.

And it's sad that the same lessons keep getting replayed over and over. It's really simple. Can your "blockchain" be validated with regular hardware? Does it use a secure consensus algorithm? Is there a secure side channel through which low-value transactions can flow? If not, you're going to have a bad time when the shenanigans start happening.

Now, is that side channel effectively a single server? Handling hundreds of millions of dollars of value? Have they rolled their own crypto? If yes to any of these, get out and stay out.

Is bitcoin's lighting network any different? Just curious

These are valuable feedback and I thank you for that. I'm new to tailwind ecosystem and totally new to design as well. I will change look based on your comments.

Mondialisation · 3 years ago

I wouldn't recommend tailwind, especially if you want to actually get into design
