Ristretto adds complexity over just using secp256k1, which also has very good Rust support, is quite fast and well-optimized, compiles to WASM, and supports ECDSA, ECDH, and Schnor…

Funny timing that this particular topic made it to HN. From the recently-released Season 4 of The Dragon Prince, this is one of the reasons Claudia is so infatuated with Terry, an …

If you're interested in saving in Bitcoín, Strike recently expanded to supporting Argentina, and they have low fees.

If the unit cost is higher than the maximum a manufacturer or retailer can charge, it won't be produced at all. This results in a market failure, similar to the one China's experie…

These figures aren't adjusted for Delta-V, or inflation, but here are some dollar figures for asteroid and lunar sample return missions: Hayabusa, 2005 - $100 billion dollars per k…

Some RO systems include an alkalinization / re-mineralization stage. I use this one: https://www.expresswater.com/pages/ro-alkaline-uv

> "Builders still have to clear their inventories of having purchased higher-priced lumber. It takes a while to clear the system," Lee said. "Yes, lumber prices from the mills came…

Agreed, I wish we'd have gone down that road. How is it more efficient for my signals to go a thousand miles away and back just to talk to my neighbor across the street? I've often…

The argument those points are supporting, as the article explains, this is an ineffective way to fight CP, but it's being done anyway, and can be used for nefarious purposes. Could…

Proton is already pretty good. I expect it to get better. I've been daily-driving Arch on both a custom-built PC and a ThinkPad for 3 years and I haven't looked back, not even for …

A powerful piece... For the privacy-minded Apple users among us (I mean, that's who they marketed to, yeah?), I'd recommend turning off automatic software updates... For as long as…

Can confirm, played an old Windows copy a year or so ago, it still holds up. Endless Sky doesn't quite have the same magic for me.

Not sure why. It's a very valid point.

Bitcoin is deflationary, Ethereum is not. Even with the changes in EIP 1559, that just introduces instability in supply. ETH 2 introduces inflation, which is what made wealth inequ…

I've had 2/8 Seagate IronWolf drives fail on me slightly outside of the first year I had them. I'm using them in a Synology NAS. I've never had such problems with the WD Reds in my…

I guess I'm asking a question of crime priority, and whether some crimes are more likely to be punished because a disproportionate amount of policing is put in place towards that s…

This. This right here. Every word. I would even go so far as to say, there shouldn't be specific immigration cops, or alcohol, tobacco and firearms cops, since if there were actual…

When you put it that way, it sounds oddly poetic.

Wouldn't that just be interviewing a candidate based on their capability to prepare for interviews and not actually interviewing for candidates who would be effective at their jobs…

Not really into Vi, but thank you for using this name for something better than whatever Google might want to do with it.

Filecoin, for one. Long-term data storage is essentially a byproduct of its mining algorithm, much like waste heat from Bitcoin miners. Also, there's utility in a trustless, predic…
