As someone who doesn't live in California, will this bill (indirectly) make available to me the service manual for my Acer Travelmate? I've search high and low and absolutely can't get my hands on one.

no idea about PoE on either board but if i/o is a concern you might want to take a look at the $25 rock64 with gbe and usb3 - i/o on my neo1 maxes out somewhere just below 20mb/s but my rock64 has no problem doing 80mb/s

i have some nanopi neo(1)s and they're rock solid - my rule of thumb with arm boards is that support is good enough if it has an armbian _debian_ (vs just armbian ubuntu) release

no it's not inconsequential for one, why are _researchers_ using largely obsolete technology; for another, many high performance computing tasks perform significantly faster on 64bit (e.g., lmdb)

you do understand that 'better supported' in the case of the raspberrypi means that you are running a 32bit os? that's all they officially support - and have no plans to change do you really think something or better and chea

if we are 'considering the ecosystem' then that means these are running a 32bit os, as mentioned in my original comment

you can buy at least 2 nanopi neo2's for every rpi3b - they have gbe and a non-gimped soc, and you can fit in at least 2 for every rpi, maybe even 4 there are also more powerful alternatives of the same footprint and at same or slightl

i don't even know where to start understanding this remark i am questioning why they are using immensely popular and commensurately overpriced but yet woefully underspecced components instead of something better and/or cheaper is

waste of (taxpayer) money using the (overpriced) rpi's gimped (no aes, usb3, gbe) soc the rpi value prop is the community support but that would mean that this cluster is running a 32bit os - so what really is the point of using these

> What's the motivation here then? I'd guess it's some sort of legal/accounting move, something beneath the surface. Doesn't really make much sense otherwise.

Intellectually and academically dishonest hitpiece by peddlers of a competing cryptocoin. That this subset of transactions is not safe is not news, nor is it even original research - it was covered in research more than 2 years ago by The

As a little cherry on top, the CPU they sourced is also crippled with no onchip crypto. Even the half-price Pine64 has a CPU with crypto instruction sets.

The original comment purports that ridiculous enrichment schemes are a carpet necessary evil for initial and continued development of cryptocurrencies, which is simply not true - what you're pointing out is a different argument.

Not _all_ cryptocurrencies, no - it's mostly just the scammy ones of little genuine utility and/or technological merit. Both Bitcoin and Monero have fair distribution; development of neither is done by for-profit LLCs financially

5 hours and almost 100 comments later no one has pointed out that Zcash and Keybase share the same investors. I am relieved that 'Keybase chose Zcash' purely on merit after an exhaustive and objective selection process, and that t

I don't think you understand how Monero works _at all_ - let me fix one of your arguments to illustrate: >When you spend money, you basically say "I am one of 2^256 people", where 2^256 is usually fairly small. Disappointi
