none of these are race conditions, they're just runtime errors. python only parses code when it is about to run that block so you can absolutely get a crash from bad indentation.
in my experience, the js world's focus on developer ergonomics has absolutely yielded some insane situations where running an installed script has caused it to start downloading more dependencies. however, this has unfortunately started happening in python too lately.
no. i don't pretend to even begin to understand how the prototype at wardenclyffe was supposed to work. i do remember that it supposedly used the atmosphere as a transmission line, but whether that meant bouncing the signal off of it (meaning it was radio based) or somehow charging it (meaning it was static based) i couldn't tell you.
it does say on the site for the device that it draws 100W, but in the video he says that there is a 10W minimum draw, so i'm assuming it goes up from there
i thought you were talking about independent verification of each frame of a video and storing it in a block chain to accompany that file, so that's my bad on missing the point.
but with using "the" blockchain, we're still dealing with the problem of massive emissions to keep it running, except now there's no profit motive. or rather, that's already true for a lot of things so it would need some sort of verification token to incentivise actually including our video hashes in the calculation. i think the ethereum people call it "gas money". so it would be pay-to-verify.
an alternative is to have a foundation like the internet archive host the verified hashes. way less energy use, and they need the money more anyway.
i thought we were talking about the opposite situation, archival.
so in this situation we're not actually talking about using a block chain, as in a progressive hashing function, but the blockchain, as in a massive network of computers used to verify anything.
boomers use emojis constantly in a way that's almost frightening. like they have to idea what the faces are supposed to represent and just add as many as they can.
