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-calcu…

Was down for a couple minutes, is back for me

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…

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…

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 h…

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 addin…

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…

(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 in…

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 so…

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 a…

For terminal stuff, you can't beat the ease of use of asciinema.

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…

You're off by an order of magnitude. 3% of 150m is 4.5m.

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 takin…

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…
