Re:Honeywell gets hit with $13M fine for defense export violations
on Friday May 07, 2021 @02:10PM (#27078902)
Honeywell reported their violation to the government. It is in the governments best interest to not overly punish them as it could lead to companies being incentivized to hide violations instead of reporting them as soon as they become aware of them. Although I do think $13 million is a bit low even when accounting for this.

Interestingly this is the reason why the first Raiblocks wallet was named canoe. [1]

I love using discord for my open-source projects as I feel that the individual role and channel permissions are a little more powerful. I wish Slack adopted this full customization permission ability into their software.
Re:Gitlab More Than Doubles Valuation to $2.75B Ahead of Planned 2020 IPO

I think the biggest thing is the context switching between different projects. I have open source projects that I wouldn't be able to move to GitLab as I would have to coordinate the move with all the other collaborators and make sure the users of the repository are aware that the new code will be in GitLab.

It wouldn't be the best user experience if you had to wait 10 minutes for confirmation. Also by increasing the size of the blocks you increase the orphan rate due to propagation delay which results in needing more confirmations before a transaction is considered truly immutable. Bitcoin has to have a fee market to incentivize miners so that as block rewards decrease the cost of securing the network doesn't shrink as well.

I'm surprised that the quality of HN hasn't fallen as drastically with user growth as much as other sites such as reddit. Thanks to the moderators for keeping HN great.

This is really cool, it is really hard to evaluate the value of Zencoda without the code output of the demo. I get that the full product is not ready but being able to see the input and one good output would tell us a lot.

Not my field but there is some good info on the methane Raptor engines that SpaceX is wanting to use for their Mars colonization.

Both the side boosters on the F9H inaugural flight will be reused boosters. The center boosters are only able to fly on F9H but are planned to be reusable.
Here are both the landing videos of the side cores that will be flying on the F9H https://youtu.be/4jEz03Z8azc https://youtu.be/DKqY8sy3nkM?t=55s

There are ways to connect the miner to other pools, a desktop miner would be more effective.
