The yield varies with a few factors, chief of which is how much total ETH is staked. More staked ETH means a lower yield. Here's a calculator: https://ethereumprice.org/eth-2-calculator/

Most of them don't seem to come from pull requests, I wonder if it's paired with a bunch of compromised github accounts?

I think the answer is something like: - the dollar is falling compared to US living expenses (US inflation) - the euro is falling compared to the dollar (exchange rate) - therefore, the euro is falling faster compared to US living expenses

This isn't correct. There's no Solana tokens in the equation at all, so I assume you mean wrapped ETH on Solana, and that all got sent through the bridge to Ethereum, so it doesn't exist anymore.

In practice the people who are doing this very likely have that much ETH on hand and can simply use it, then rebuy over time to get back to their preferred holding levels. If you had $320mm USD and needed ETH, you'd want to use an OTC

I found it interesting that the patch was apparently published before it was exploited: https://twitter.com/kelvinfichter/status/1489050921938132996

That's why it's sometimes called an "argument" or specifically a "cryptographic proof". You can construct the statement such that it can be "proven" in a traditional sense by adding qualifiers such a

I think your n_subjects is too low. You need that to be high enough or you'll miss those low-probability winners that bring up the average.

The most natural solution for most people is to give shards of your key to various friends/family that you trust not to collude and reconstitute your key (or be socially engineered -- make them talk with you on video chat or something)

(not the author, but I'm an Urbit core developer, so I can read this pretty easily) You're pretty much correct. lib/server.hoon doesn't "set up" the server exactly, that's built into Urbit. In general, a

Probably a few months for a really usable version of it, though seeing stuff like this makes me really want to finish that work. I'm working on it, but first we're reworking the software update process in general. That work is g

Maybe related: in Spanish, "carpa" means both "carp" the fish and "tent". I never thought to ask why they're the same, but Wikipedia says "carpa" as "tent" comes from Quechua and as a f

Very cool. One of my formative programming experiences was learning the "hashlife" algorithm, which lets you do very large maps and zoom forward millions of iterations very quickly. https://www.drdobbs.com/jvm&#x2

Seven weeks ago there were ~100 cases in Wuhan, now there's 60k. What's to stop that from happening in Seattle, or the Bay, or anywhere else in the developed world that isn't taking the precautions China did?

The article doesn't say anything about hashing the password, this is a perfect case of the title having a large influence on how we read the article. @dang This title is misleading.

Can't read the article because the captcha won't load, but this reply doesn't make any sense. What can the browsers do without the cooperation of the server? You don't really need encryption to deal with that specific

If it's actually p2p, you don't need petabyte scale. You just need to store what you post, which for most people is megabyte-to-gigabyte scale.

Yeah, I actually keep my editor columns at about 65-70 with :set nowrap. I find this gives me appropriate pressure to write shorter lines, but if I go past the end I've got another 10 columns or so until I hit 80.

It lets me have 3-4 columns of code on a standard laptop or 8 columns on a 4k monitor, which is a huge productivity win.
