    I wonder if some of the classes are just easy to detect objects that they're using to assess the accuracy of the user.

    I would guess they have a system such that after a user has passed N captchas successfully, they trust its a human and start displaying them (a portion of) unlabelled captchas that…

    I work at Picterra[1], a swiss company doing machine learning on drone & satellite imagery. From discussion with a number of drone service providers, it seems to me the restrictive…

    I'm not sure exactly what Netflix means by "if the job breaks", but I've used jupyter notebook in production to do ML before. If you consider the notebook as a way to augment your …

    Those are all very good points I didn't think about, thanks for these. I'll fix the two bugs with verify_block and the possibility for a miner to inject invalid a output > input tr…

    No good reason for RSA vs ECDSA. I was just more familiar with RSA, but apparently pycryptodome supports ECDSA as well, so I guess the change should be minimal.

    Thanks for the precision regarding the hash. Regarding the error, they are logged when a verify_block/transaction returns False, just to be a bit more explicit about what failed. I…

    Thanks. You're right about Merkle tree. This is a whole section of the bitcoin paper and it's pretty important. But as far as I understand, it's "only" an optimization to save disk…

    You forgot to mention that nodes always consider the longest block chain to be the consensus. A 51% (majority) attack is when one miner is able to produce more blocks than the rest…
