They are probably exchanges doing batch withdrawals (large number of outputs) or consolidating their holdings into a single large output for economic reasons (large number of input…

Most transactions will have two outputs. One is the actual destination and the other is change that goes back to the spender wallet. There is nothing unusual going on here.

Not sure which audience you are targetting but I would love to read more on modern compiler design. There is very little information on the web on how to design a compiler to provi…

The US is much richer than 80 years ago, so it’s way more likely than billionaires come from comfortable middle-class families, of which there are many more now. If Warren Buffett …

There's a PubSub implementation for IPFS that can provide support for dynamic content in this case. I'm pretty sure there is another way to provide fast updates through some indire…

Firefox has already whitelisted the IPFS protocol so that extensions can provide implementations. It won't be long before this can be decentralized. https://blog.mozilla.org/addons…

I have quite a few years of experience with Django and in general, I have found it to be quite easy to set up. I don't think you can avoid much of what you describe with any other …

I mentioned that no one had much experience with the implications of Ethereum's model and you point me to a bunch of articles but I fail to see how they apply to the case of Solidi…

Speaking seriously, there is an assembly for Ethereum called LLL. I would love to see code that performs exactly that example you mention and is easier to audit than the equivalent…

Yes, that's definitely a good idea. I will go back to my magnetized needle now, I have some bit flipping to do in order to finish my task for Monday.

Not that difficult. There is not much point in creating immutable contracts since they act like singletons. This is different from the kinds of objects that you would instantiate i…

I may have enough funding to pay more that Brendan Eich is making right now. That does not mean that he will join my project. Good talent is scarce regardless of funding.

> This is true for Haskell, but "most" other functional languages don't suffer this issue: SML, OCaml, F#, Rust, etc. I don't have much experience with the ML family of languages, …

They may be enforceable but for many cases, it's just not cost effective to pursue legal action.

The problem is that decision tables usually end up really big for anything but the most trivial smart contracts.

Things are not always simpler at a lower level of abstraction.

Most of these observations are well-known to the Solidity devs. I know because I participate in many of the conversations around it. While it's not easy to evolve a language (the A…

Being a good, secure language for writing smart contracts is absolutely one of the most important goals for Solidity. I can say so because I have been involved as a regular contrib…

None of the languages that you mention target the EVM, and the changes required to do so would turn them into restricted versions that look kind of like the original ones but have …

No, that's called end-to-end or client-side encryption. Zero-knowledge is a property of a certain class of methods that allow one party to prove to another that a certain statement…

A recent graduate from an Ivy League university in the US with thousands of dollars in debt and an job offer in Wall Street is accounted as poorer than a farmer in Congo by Oxfam. …

I also have no idea how you reach the conclusion that capitalists are the most benefited from it, but I guess it comes from the old labor-capital analytical framework. You complete…

Spanish: La vida de los que se me ocurre mejor forma de reconstruir nuestra esencia social del hombre aumentan cuando hay una falta de claridad. Sounds like the corpus had a little…

What a shallow discussion there. Very poor history of economic ideas and lots of straw men and intellectually dishonest arguments. I have come to expect it from journalists and non…
