Read some reviews shared by our customers:
Great! The elctricians arrived on time and were so polite, worked like a pro.
The elctrician was able to fix my fan but messed up all the wires.
The electricians lacked a sense of professionalism in their work.
I had a fabulous experience with TurboFuture's electricians. They were so polite and nice. They even suggested some tips which could help in longer life of the appliances. Would recommend to others also.
They worked just like normal electricians do. Moreover, I felt I was overcharged for the same service if I hired someone from the local market shop.
If the company would have provided with the spare appliances too, I would have rated a 5 because of which my lot of time was wasted.
Excellent service! I have been a regular customer for the compant and never got disappointed. Would recommend to everyone.

pip_services3_commons.refer.IReferenceable.IReferenceable
,pip_services3_commons.run.IOpenable.IOpenable
,pip_services3_commons.run.ICleanable.ICleanable
Abstract persistence component that stores data in memory.
This is the most basic persistence component that is only able to store data items of any type. Specific CRUD operations over the data items must be implemented in child classes by accessing this._items property and calling [[save]] method.
The component supports loading and saving items from another data source. That allows to use it as a base class for file and other types of persistence components that cache all data in memory.
- ### References ###
- :logger::*:1.0 (optional) ILogger components to pass log messages
- Example:
class MyMemoryPersistence(MemoryPersistence):
- def get_by_name(self, correlationId, name):
- item = self.find(name) … return item
persistence = MyMemoryPersistence()
persistence.set(“123”, MyData(“ABC”)) print str(persistence.get_by_name(“123”, “ABC”)))

Parents of a one-year old take their child to his primary care physician to be immunized in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations. Upon completion of the varicella and MMR vaccines, the primary care physician updates the patient’s electronic health record (EHR) and accesses the state’s Immunization Information System (IIS) interface from within the EHR system. The physician then sends the immunization record to the IIS.
Meaningful Use Stage 2 Objectives related to immunization registries: Capability to submit electronic data to immunization registries or Immunization Information Systems and actual submission except where prohibited and in accordance with applicable law and practice. (Meaningful Use Menu Set 16 for EPs, Meaningful Use Menu Set 13 for EH/CAHs) |
| The primary care physician enters the immunization data into his EHR and then accesses the state’s IIS through the EHR, which is possible because the physician practice has signed a user agreement with the state, and the EHR vendor supports HL7 v.2.5.1 and has a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) interface. | ||
| The EHR automatically uploads the physician’s file, which has been properly formatted according to HL7 v.2.5.1 Implementation Guide for Immunization Messaging, using CVX codes, into the state’s SFTP system. The state’s system processes and stores the immunization record in the state’s immunization registry database. | ||
| The IIS sends an acknowledgement message via email to the primary care physician’s EHR indicating that the immunization record was successfully stored. |

I was very excited for the 20.04 LTS release of Pop!_OS that came out a few days ago. The addition of automatic window tiling and the various GNOME improvements that came with the update were well worth the move from 19.10. After a few days of using the update I still stand by my opinion that the upgrade was worthwhile, but it wasn’t an easy transition.
For starters, the 20.04 upgrade with pop-upgrade
didn’t like the configuration
of my computer’s hard-drives in /etc/fstab
– but that’s understandable given
that there’s three drives and a mix on windows partitions on the non-boot ones.
A fresh install took care of that issue, and all of the drives are accessible
and running fine now. I did not, however, expect that my Logitech MX MAster 2S
mouse would fall victim to the upgrade process.
Somewhere along the way in the fresh install of Pop!_OS 20.04, the firmware update manager utility decided to run. This utility decided that the firmware for the Logitech Unifying Receiver, the USB dongle for the mouse, needed updating. That would have been fine, except the update encountered an “unexpected error” and cut out half-way through the update. This left the mouse dongle unusable and the mouse refused to connect to it.
A quick check of lsusb | grep Logitech
gave me Bus 003 Device 005: ID 046d:aaac Logitech, Inc. USB BootLoader
where the dongle was plugged in. This was good news in that the dongle
was still communicating over USB and was not hard-bricked, but it clearly isn’t
supposed to be a “BootLoader” device. The Pop!_OS firmware upgrade utility in
the Settings menu didn’t show that the device was eligible for an upgrade, but I
assumed that somehow forcing an update would improve the situation. Thankfully I
was introduced to the command line version of the update tool from a Stack Overflow
post. Running fwupdmgr update
turned out to be the solution, it correctly
identified that the “USB BootLoader” device was supposed to be a Logitech Receiver
and got it updated. It took a minute to run the upgrade and once it finished I was
able to connect the mouse to the receiver again.
Upgrading to Pop!_OS 20.04 was a tumultuous journey for my mouse, but it introduced me to the more powerful command line version of the firmware upgrade utility.

ActiveTcl User Guide

Tk_CreateEventHandler, Tk_DeleteEventHandler - associate procedure callback with an X event
#include <tk.h>
Tk_CreateEventHandler(tkwin, mask, proc,
clientData)
Tk_DeleteEventHandler(tkwin, mask, proc,
clientData)
Tk_CreateEventHandler arranges for proc to be invoked in the future whenever one of the event types specified by mask occurs in the window specified by tkwin. The callback to proc will be made by Tk_HandleEvent; this mechanism only works in programs that dispatch events through Tk_HandleEvent (or through other Tk procedures that call Tk_HandleEvent, such as Tk_DoOneEvent or Tk_MainLoop).
Proc should have arguments and result that match the type Tk_EventProc:
typedef void Tk_EventProc( ClientData clientData, XEvent *eventPtr);
The clientData parameter to proc is a copy of the clientData argument given to Tk_CreateEventHandler when the callback was created. Typically, clientData points to a data structure containing application-specific information about the window in which the event occurred. EventPtr is a pointer to the X event, which will be one of the ones specified in the mask argument to Tk_CreateEventHandler.
Tk_DeleteEventHandler may be called to delete a previously-created event handler: it deletes the first handler it finds that is associated with tkwin and matches the mask, proc, and clientData arguments. If no such handler exists, then Tk_HandleEvent returns without doing anything. Although Tk supports it, it's probably a bad idea to have more than one callback with the same mask, proc, and clientData arguments. When a window is deleted all of its handlers will be deleted automatically; in this case there is no need to call Tk_DeleteEventHandler.
If multiple handlers are declared for the same type of X event on the same window, then the handlers will be invoked in the order they were created.
bind, callback, event, handler

Display output can be either "windowed" or "fullscreen". Windowed output opens a display window on the desktop and draws your pixels inside this window. Fullscreen output switches to the best display mode mode and fills the entire screen with your pixels.
An additional "default" output type is used to indicate that you want to open a display and use the 'best' output mode for the current platform. This is a rather nebulous concept. Currently the default output mode just maps to windowed mode, but this may change in the future. The bottom line is that if you absolutely require fullscreen or windowed output, you should specify this, or the display will just do whatever it thinks is best.
Here is some example code to demonstrate output use:
Output output = Output::Fullscreen; if ( output != Output::Windowed ) { output = Output::Windowed; } switch ( output ) { case Output::Default: print( "default output" ); break; case Output::Windowed: print( "windowed output" ); break; case Output::Fullscreen: print( "fullscreen output" ); break; } Output a = Mode::Windowed Output b = Mode::Fullscreen; assert( a != b ); assert( ! (a == b) ); Display display( "output example", 320, 240, output ); if ( display.open() ) { assert( output == display.output() ); } display.close(); display.open( "default output example", 320, 240, Output::Default ); if ( display.open() ) { assert( display.output != Output::Default ); switch ( output ) { case Output::Windowed: print( "default output is windowed" ); break; case Output::Fullscreen: print( "default output is fullscreen" ); break; } }

In the same way triangles have three edges and three nodes, an
n-simplex contains multiple
(n-1)-simplics,
(n-2)-simplices, ..., edges, and nodes.
The simplices that are part of a larger simplex are called
faces.
This plot shows every simplex in a simplicial complex as a white dot, grouped by simplex size (nodes at the bottom, 5-simplices at the top), and then links together with pink curves those simplices that are faces of larger simplices.
- Slide the input to adjust which simplices are visualized. The visualization will update to draw only those simplices with an associated weight less than the slider value.

A query string is a fully formed OQL statement that can be passed to a query engine and executed against a data set. To build a query string, you combine supported keywords, expressions, and operators to create an expression that returns the information you require.
A query string follows the rules specified by the query language and grammar. It can include:
- Namescopes. For example, the IMPORT statement. See IMPORT Statement.
- Path expressions. For example, in the query
SELECT * FROM /exampleRegion
,/exampleRegion
is a path expression. See FROM Clause. - Attribute names. For example, in the query
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM /exampleRegion p WHERE p.position1.secId = '1'
, we access thesecId
attribute of the Position object. See WHERE Clause. - Method invocations. For example, in the query
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM /exampleRegion p WHERE p.name.startsWith('Bo')
, we invoke thestartsWith
method on the Name object. See WHERE Clause. - Operators. For example, comparison operators (=,<,>,<>), unary operators (NOT), logical operators (AND, OR) and so on. See Operators for a complete list.
- Literals. For example, boolean, date, time and so on. See Supported Literals for a complete list.
- Query bind parameters. For example, in the query
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM $1 p WHERE p.status = $2
, $1 and $2 are parameters that can be passed to the query during runtime. See Using Query Bind Parameters for more details. - Preset query functions. For example, ELEMENT(expr) and IS_DEFINED(expr). See SELECT Statement for other available functions.
- SELECT statements. For example, in the example queries above
SELECT *
orSELECT DISTINCT *
. See SELECT Statement for other available functions. - Comments. OQL permits extra characters to accompany the query string without changing the string’s definition. Form a multi-line comment by enclosing the comment body within
/*
and*/
delimiters; OQL does not permit nested comments. A single line comment body is all the characters to the right of--
(two hyphens) up to the end of the line.
The components listed above can all be part of the query string, but none of the components are required. At a minimum, a query string contains an expression that can be evaluated against specified data.
The following sections provide guidelines for the query language building blocks that are used when writing typical Geode queries.

Hey, I'm Ben!
A quick little blurb about me: I'm a 24 year old guy living in the beautiful SF Bay Area and I'm learning to code! My entire life I've always used technology, now I wanna work with it! This is something that I've always had an interest for, but only just recently decided to take the steps to learn the craft.
Before I joined DBC, I was playing around with music and film. I graduated UCSC with a degree in Film & Digital Media, so I played around with cameras a bunch. I took on playing with music on the side, and still play with both here and there! Life has taken me down a couple of different paths tho, so here I am!
On my free time, you can often find me lost in the wilderness or lost in a game! Getting tattooed near the beach or picking out the next series to marathon. Whatever the case may be, I'm always up for an adventure! Excited to see where DBC takes me!

223. Little Kings
time limit per test: 2 sec.
memory limit per test: 65536
KB
input: standard
output: standard
After solving nice problems about bishops and rooks, Petya
decided that he would like to learn to play chess. He started to learn the rules
and found out that the most important piece in the game is the king.
The
king can move to any adjacent cell (there are up to eight such cells). Thus, two
kings are in the attacking position, if they are located on the adjacent cells.
Of course, the first thing Petya wants to know is the number of ways one
can position k kings on a chessboard of size n × n so that no two of them are in
the attacking position. Help him!
Input
The input file contains two integers n (1 ≤ n ≤ 10) and k (0
≤ k ≤ n2).
Output
Print a line containing the total number of ways one can put
the given number of kings on a chessboard of the given size so that no two of
them are in attacking positions.

September 2018
Hello All!
I started working on .NET Core just recently. My first ever task for client was to write some web APIs to communicate with the Azure AD and fetch all the users and groups from it. I was naive to .NET Core and had just heard about the active directory thing, but never worked on it, so I planned to go by the traditional process! Following the said process, I started studying Microsoft Graph APIs (obviously from the documents provided by Microsoft) and side by side, read some blogs and posts on how to implement them in our application. I also referred some boiler plates and sample codes to get my job started.
What I found was, many of them had some UI part associated with them for authentication process. i.e. A login screen pops in where you need to type your microsoft account id and password and submit the form. This certainly was not required at my end, reason being, I was working on web APIs and this authentication process was supposed to be handled somehow at the back end itself.
Thus, I had to collect all the bits and pieces from here and there and try to integrate them down in a single project. So, I thought that I should document all my errands and share with others believing that it might save your time and reduce your efforts had you been working on similar thing. Also, being a newbie in writing, I am trying to put down my understandings in a fashion, as simple as it can be, so as to help you understand better. Feel free to correct me wherever needed and pardon me if I am not very clear on some concepts or in case I miss something out. Whoosh! Finally done with the description and now we can get start working on the actual thing why we are here :D
Prerequisites :
(1) You need to have a registered application on Azure Active Directory. Note down the Tenant Id, Application Id and Secret Key for the registered application. (You can refer this for guide and walk through )
(2) Visual Studio Professional 2017. You can also opt for other versions of VS / Visual Studio Code as per your convenience.
Actual Work :
(Note :If you are familiar with creating projects in Visual Studio, you can directly jump to step number 2)
Step (1) : Create a new project in Visual Studio.
Go to File -> New -> Project. From the templates, under Visual C# section, select .NET Core. Select ASP.NET Core Web Application project. Give desired project name and location and click OK. From the new window , select ASP.NET Core version 2.1 and API template. Click OK. Now , your new project will load in the solution explorer with a default ValuesController under controller folder. (You can delete this controller as and when required , for now, let us add a new controller and get started). Go to appsettings.json and add a new key named AzureAD which will have all the values that we need. These values would be those that we noted while registering our application on Azure AD (mentioned in prerequisites (1)). After adding this code, your appsetting.json would look as following
appsetting.json
{ "Logging": {"LogLevel": {"Default": "Warning"} }, "AllowedHosts": "*", "AzureAD": { "ClientId": "Your Application Id goes here", "ClientSecret": "Your Secret Key goes here", "TenantId": "Your Tenant Id goes here", "Instance": "https://login.microsoftonline.com/", "GraphResource": "https://graph.microsoft.com/", "GraphResourceEndPoint": "v1.0" } }
Step (2) : Creating Models.
Right click on the project name in solution explorer , select Add -> New Folder. Name it as Models. Right click the Models folder , select Add -> Class. We would be adding 3 class files , namely AzureAD.cs, Group.cs and User.cs The classes are ass follows:
AzureAD.cs
public class AzureAD { public string ClientId { get; set; } public string ClientSecret { get; set; } public string TenantId { get; set; } public string Instance { get; set; } public string GraphResource { get; set; } public string GraphResourceEndPoint { get; set; } }
Group.cs
public class Group { public string id { get; set; } public string displayName { get; set; } } public class Groups { public int itemsPerPage { get; set; } public int startIndex { get; set; } public int totalResults { get; set; } public List resources { get; set; } }
User.cs
public class User { public string id { get; set; } public string givenName { get; set; } public string surname { get; set; } public string userPrincipalName { get; set; } public string email { get; set; } } public class Users { public int itemsPerPage { get; set; } public int startIndex { get; set; } public int totalResults { get; set; } public List resources { get; set; } }
The AzureAD models class would be used while getting values from out config file (from appsettings.json) and the other 2 classes , as their names suggest, would be used while actually retrieving data from the AD. Our models are ready. Lets head to the next step.
Step (3) : Adding a Controller
Right click the Controllers folder, select Add -> Controller. Give name as MyDirectory (MyDirectoryController is the desired name) and click Add. Add the following code to MyDirectoryController.cs
MyDirectoryController.cs
using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Threading.Tasks; using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc; using WebApiWithGraph.Models; using WebApiWithGraph.Services; using Microsoft.Graph; using System.Net; namespace WebApiWithGraph.Controllers { [Produces("application/json")][Route("directory")] public class MyDirectoryController : Controller { internal static class RouteNames { public const string Users = nameof(Users); public const string UserById = nameof(UserById); public const string Groups = nameof(Groups); public const string GroupById = nameof(GroupById); } [HttpGet("users/{id}", Name = RouteNames.UserById)] public async Task GetUser(string id) { Models.User objUser = new Models.User(); try { if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(id) || string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(id) { return BadRequest(); } // Initialize the GraphServiceClient. GraphServiceClient client = await MicrosoftGraphClient.GetGraphServiceClient(); // Load user profile. var user = await client.Users[id].Request().GetAsync(); // Copy Microsoft-Graph User to DTO User objUser = CopyHandler.UserProperty(user); return Ok(objUser); } catch (ServiceException ex) { if (ex.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.BadRequest) { return BadRequest(); } else { return NotFound(); } } } [HttpGet("users/")] public async Task GetUsers() { Users users = new Users(); try { users.resources = new List(); // Initialize the GraphServiceClient. GraphServiceClient client = await MicrosoftGraphClient.GetGraphServiceClient(); // Load users profiles. var userList = await client.Users.Request().GetAsync(); // Copy Microsoft User to DTO User foreach (var user in userList) { var objUser = CopyHandler.UserProperty(user); users.resources.Add(objUser); } users.totalResults = users.resources.Count; return Ok(users); } catch (ServiceException ex) { if (ex.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.BadRequest) { return BadRequest(); } else { return NotFound(); } } } [HttpGet("groups/{id}", Name = RouteNames.GroupById)] public async Task GetGroup(string id) { Models.Group objGroup = new Models.Group(); try { // Initialize the GraphServiceClient. GraphServiceClient client = await MicrosoftGraphClient.GetGraphServiceClient(); // Load group profile. var group = await client.Groups[id].Request().GetAsync(); // Copy Microsoft-Graph Group to DTO Group objGroup = CopyHandler.GroupProperty(group); return Ok(objGroup); } catch (ServiceException ex) { if (ex.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.BadRequest) { return BadRequest(); } else { return NotFound(); } } } [HttpGet("groups/")] public async Task GetGroups() { Groups groups = new Groups(); try { groups.resources = new List(); // Initialize the GraphServiceClient. GraphServiceClient client = await MicrosoftGraphClient.GetGraphServiceClient(); // Load groups profiles. var groupList = await client.Groups.Request().GetAsync(); // Copy Microsoft-Graph Group to DTO Group foreach (var group in groupList) { var objGroup = CopyHandler.GroupProperty(group); groups.resources.Add(objGroup); } groups.totalResults = groups.resources.Count; return Ok(groups); } catch (ServiceException ex) { if (ex.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.BadRequest) { return BadRequest(); } else { return NotFound(); } } } } }
Now , we have implemented 4 methods. These methods would serve the purpose exactly how their names suggest i.e. get user by id, get all users from the AD, get group by id and get all groups from the AD respectively. The 2 things that are missing now are MicrosoftGraphClient and CopyHandler. Head over to next steps for the same.
Step (4) : Adding MicrosoftGraphClient
Add a new folder in out project as we did earlier and name it as Services. Add a new class to this folder which would be MicrosoftGraphClient.cs The following code goes there
MicrosoftGraphClient.cs
using WebApiWithGraph.Models; using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration; using Microsoft.Graph; using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory; using System; using System.Linq; using System.Net.Http.Headers; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace WebApiWithGraph.Services { public static class MicrosoftGraphClient { private static GraphServiceClient graphClient; private static IConfiguration configuration; private static string clientId; private static string clientSecret; private static string tenantId; private static string aadInstance; private static string graphResource; private static string graphAPIEndpoint; private static string authority; static MicrosoftGraphClient() { configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder().SetBasePath(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()).AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: false, reloadOnChange: true).AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT") ?? "Production"}.json", optional: true).AddEnvironmentVariables().Build();SetAzureADOptions(); } private static void SetAzureADOptions() { var azureOptions = new AzureAD(); configuration.Bind("AzureAD", azureOptions); clientId = azureOptions.ClientId; clientSecret = azureOptions.ClientSecret; tenantId = azureOptions.TenantId; aadInstance = azureOptions.Instance; graphResource = azureOptions.GraphResource; graphAPIEndpoint = $"{azureOptions.GraphResource}{azureOptions.GraphResourceEndPoint}";authority = $"{aadInstance}{tenantId}"; } public static async Task GetGraphServiceClient() { // Get Access Token and Microsoft Graph Client using access token and microsoft graph v1.0 endpoint var delegateAuthProvider = await GetAuthProvider(); // Initializing the GraphServiceClient graphClient = new GraphServiceClient(graphAPIEndpoint, delegateAuthProvider); return graphClient; } private static async Task GetAuthProvider() { AuthenticationContext authenticationContext = new AuthenticationContext(authority); ClientCredential clientCred = new ClientCredential(clientId, clientSecret); // ADAL includes an in memory cache, so this call will only send a message to the server if the cached token is expired. AuthenticationResult authenticationResult = await authenticationContext.AcquireTokenAsync(graphResource, clientCred); var token = authenticationResult.AccessToken; var delegateAuthProvider = new DelegateAuthenticationProvider((requestMessage) =>{requestMessage.Headers.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("bearer", token.ToString()); return Task.FromResult(0); }); return delegateAuthProvider; } } }
Here, we have 3 methods : SetAzureADOptions, GetGraphServiceClient and GetAuthProvider. You can see that in the constructor of the MicrosoftGraphClient, we have built the configuration.
The SetAzureADOptions method will read the config for us and get the required details that we have stored in appsettings.json in Step (1).
The GetGraphServiceClient method will call GetAuthProvider method internally and return that value along with graphAPIEndpoint (which is constructed in SetAzureADOptions method ).
The GetAuthProvider method would take our client id and secret and authenticate these credentials with the graph resource (i.e. https://graph.microsoft.com/) and get a token for us. This token is the bearer token that is required to pass in the header of all the requests made to the Microsoft Graph API.
Thus, in a nutshell, the MicrosoftGraphClient authenticates our credentials with the graph resource and returns a client to the controller. Now, in the controller, we can request and retrieve the desired data from this client. Now, we are almost at the end of our work. You can head to the last step now i.e. Step 5.
Step (5) : Adding CopyHandler
This step can be said to be optional. This handler is used just for type conversion (i.e. to convert the Microsoft.Graph.User to our defined class Models.User , and, to convert the Microsoft.Graph.Group to our defined class Models.Group). So, you can either use this handler, or you can also handle the type casting then and there in the controller as per your convenience. Add a new class to the Services folder and name it CopyHandler. The following code goes in CopyHandler.cs
CopyHandler.cs
using WebApiWithGraph.Models; namespace WebApiWithGraph.Services { public class CopyHandler { public static User UserProperty(Microsoft.Graph.User graphUser) { User user = new User(); user.id = graphUser.Id; user.givenName = graphUser.GivenName; user.surname = graphUser.Surname; user.userPrincipalName = graphUser.UserPrincipalName; user.email = graphUser.Mail; return user; } public static Group GroupProperty(Microsoft.Graph.Group graphGroup) { Group group = new Group(); group.id = graphGroup.Id; group.displayName = graphGroup.DisplayName; return group; } } }
Running the application :
Now, our coding part is done and we can go ahead and check it's working. This can be done with tools like swagger, advanced rest client, postman, etc , just as we test the APIs for the data. We can also see the output in the browser (I used Chrome) by just changing the URLs. Run the application through Visual Studio using IIS Express in Chrome.
This will open a new window of Google Chrome with the url somewhat like
https://localhost:44385/api/values
Change the url to
https://localhost:44385/directory/users
and hit enter. You should see the list of users from your Azure AD in json format.
Grab and copy any one user id from the above mentioned data and now change the url to
https://localhost:44385/directory/users/123abc-12ab-12ab-12ab-12ab12ab
and hit enter. You should see the json data for that single user!
Repeat the same for getting groups and group by id. The urls would be
https://localhost:44385/directory/groups
and
https://localhost:44385/directory/groups/123abc-12ab-12ab-12ab-12ab12ab
respectively.
Conclusion :
So, here I think I should conclude this topic. Hope this post will help you in case you face the same situation that I did. If I have missed anything, let me know in the comments and I'll add it in!
You can get the sample application here.
Cheers!

Taliban atomic secrets really a parody
Rotten | Submitted by: Sketch
You may have heard on the news that atomic instructions were found in
the remains of a Taliban hideout. Yes, this is true. What you didn't hear
is that those "instructions" are really a parody published in 1979 by
the Journal of Irreproducible Results, and while accurate, aren't
much of a threat.

Mullah Omar is the leader of the Taliban. Recently they engaged in a
strategic retreat, but he's said a few interesting things in the process.
"The current situation in Afghanistan is related to a bigger cause — that
is the destruction of America. If God's help is with us, this will happen
within a short period of time — keep in mind this prediction. The real

Enhancing bitcoin security and performance with strong consistency via collective signing

We are starting the session called “breaking the chain”. We will first have collective signing presentation. Thank you.
This is joint work with some collaborators.
What we have now is that real-time verification is not safe. What we managed to get is that we get transaction commitment in about 20-90 seconds at close to 1,000 transactions/second. In byzcoin, irrevocable transaction commitment in 20-90 second. Throughput up to 974 transactions per second.
We change to the practical byzantine fault tolerance protocol. We use collective signing to scale to thousands of nodes and decrease latency. We scale PBFT to thousands of nodes. We use PoW to create hybrid model. Bitcoin-NG.
We will identify the problems with bitcoin, then change consensus and propose PBFTcoin. From MACs to collective signing. Decoupling transaction verification from leader election. Performance evaluation for scalability.
So this is a blockchain. We know this structure. We can add forks because this is bad because … persist… one more blocks being mined on top. For .. inside the blockchain.. say it is in there. But again, we can add layers. This is just going to remove the two last blocks. If this is so, we can double spend and so on.
Problem statement
In bitcoin there is no verifiable commitment of the system that a block will persist. Clients rely on probabilities. We’re going to change this and make a strawman design for PBFTcoin.
Strawman design: PBFTcoin
.. then there is a commitment by the supermajority that this will be there forever. Non-probabilistic strong consistency. No forks/inconsistencies.
Problem: needs a static consensus group. We can’t just implement this on top of bitcoin and have a party. The other problem is scalability. The communication that previously used is very dense and this limits the consensus group size. Secondly, because of high verification cost because every client will have to verify his individual commitment of his participation in the consensus, it’s tough for mobile devices. Because this uses matrix multiplication it means that every client must have a pre-defined secret… so if you have 100,000 clients this scales very badly because of all the shared secrets.
Opening the consensus group
We’re going to use proof-of-work to protect against sybil attacks. One share per block. Not every miner has the same hash power. So the miners have a percentage of shares proportional to hashpower. Finally, we’re using a window mechanism to allow for enough miners and protect against inactive miners.
From MACs to collective signing
We need to move from matrix multiplication. We need to use signatures. We can substitute MAC-based authentication (symmetric crypto) with public-key cryptography using ECDSA which provides more efficiency. This makes it third-party verifiable. We can just get a block and look at the signatures and verif against the public keys of the miners. This can be done with the PKI of the public blockchain already. PoW blockchain as PKI. We can be sure that the key inside the block would have presented of the miner that actually created that block.
This also enables sparser communication pattersn such as ring or star patterns.
However, we want to do better than that approach. For this reason we have to answer two questions. Can we get better communication patterns? Multicast protocols transmit information in sublinear steps. Use trees. Also, can we allow lightweight verification? Schnorr multisignatures could be verified in constant time no matter how many signers are signing the block.
Schnorr multisignatures plus communication trees == collective signing paper.
CoSi
An implementation was made already.
For Ed25519 curve, 82 bytes instead of 9 KB for 144 co-signers. And for 190 bytes instead of 63 KB for 1008 co-signers.
CoSi is not a BFT protocol. PBFT can be implemented over two subsequent CoSi rounds, used as a primitive in both a prepare round and a commit round. We presented this at USENIX conference. This gives a verifiable commitment from the system that a block will persist. Throughput of this system is limited by forks. Increasing block size increases fork probability. It’s limited by forks. We can’t get verify frequency because they have decreasing security. Liveness exacerbation…
Bitcoin-NG
Makes the observation that block mining implements two distinct functionalities. Transaction verification and leader election. Once a miner mines the blocks, he gets the right to verify transactions. We enhance bitcoin-ng with byzantine consensus and our PBFT protocol. We have no double-spending. We have non-probabilistic security. And also we have leaders who cannot misbehave.
Decoupling transaction verification from leader election
Key blocks: PoW block and share value. Leader election. Microblocks: validating client transations and issued by the leader. Microblocks do not verify work, they have a load factor, only created by the leader.
Performance evaluation
We evaluated on DeterLab network testbed. We simulated up to 1,008 miners multiplexed on top of 36 machines. Impose 200 ms on….
What size consensus groups can byzcoin scale to?
What transaction throughput can this system handle?
In order to compare our system with others, we implemented a byzcoin with… we each it implemented without collective signing too. Flat/MAC PBFT scales up to 100 miners. Tree/individual and tree/CoSi byzcoin scales up to about 1000 miners much better.
On the throughput side, as you can see, even with the 1 megabyte block that bitcoin has, … so we get throughput of around … while if we use the 3, we can get a high of around a fifth of a 100 megabyte block; if we increase the block, we suffer a bit the latency, but for a 32 megabyte block we get 1000 transactions/second whereas the latest for creating and sending this block is about 90 seconds and less than 1 hour.
Ongoing work
What about an attacker with more than 1/3 of the shares? Switch to probabilistic consensus perhaps? Can currently only scale-up not scale-out… the performance deteriorates, and this is the problem with every block signing protocols. Also another small problem is that leaders are incentivized to exclude miners from consensus. Perhaps donate bitcoin instead?
FAQ
What happens when an attacker gets more than 1/3rd of the shares.
Does selfish mining occur in the key-block chain? If you can have it in there, then they can get more blocks inside there which means more shares there.
Also, how is the consensus group size selected? Is it 100 nodes, 2000 nodes, how many shares is a good group have?
And finally, how do the miners make money?
Surviving 34% attacks
We’re going to attack this. Key-blocks keep being collectively signed with a needed margin of 51%. This is already better than bitcoin. Whoever verifies the blocks will use consistency- and after… is it going to be enough like in… the strong consistency is not immediate. Blocks will commit after 6 confirmations. Window starts from the last committed block. Micro-blocks forfeit liveliness.
Defending against selfish mining
The PoW chain is (almost) fair even under 34% attacks. He wont be able to find a signature– when he tries to play a new block, he needs to have a previous block, but it can only be cast when the collective signatures are pending. So he better just release it because he has not gained there.
Choosing window size
Random sampling experiment. Probability that the system picks less than c = w/3. As you can see, P>0.99.
p|w, 12, 100, 144, 288, 1008, 2016 0.5, 0.842, 0.972, 0.990, 0.999, 0.999, 1.000 0.30, 0.723, 0.779,,,,,
How do miners make money?
Why do the miners pick blocks? Why sign blocks? Why not mine for another? Why participate? They mine blocks and they get consensus group shares. They get money by participating in consensus. The coinbase outputs are distributed equally to the consensus group participates. The miner is incentivized to stay alive because he profits more if he stays alive for the full window. The more shares he has in the window, the higher percentage of fees and mining he makes when he signs the block.
Future work
We also want to look into alternatives to Proof-of-Work like Proof-of-Stake. It might be interesting to prevent PoS problems. We also want to look to sharding. We also want to look at incremental deployment to existing cryptocurrencies. How are we going to model the system on bitcoi’s adversary? Analysis of the blockchain protocol in asynchronous networks (Pass, Seeman, Shelat). How do minres discover each other?
Summary
We use collective signing for BFT protocols. We use PoW to create hybrid permissionless BFT. We combine the above with bitcoin-ng to also increase throughput. We demonstrate that it’s practical and that it could be deployed. For example, for 1 megabyte blocks we can commit the transactions in 24 seconds and get about 150 transactions/sec throughput. For 32 megabyte blocks, we commit transactions in 90 seconds and get 1000 transactions/sec throughput. Because of the strong consistency we can increase the throughput of bitcoin.
Q&A
Q: How would you go about improving the security of bitcoin’s existing consensus system using your ideas?
A: We would add an optional collective signatures so that if miners agree and maybe 80% perhaps, then the client would know that these transactions are going to stay there after 1 confirmation instead of 6 confirmations.


Tarzan is an important software package for the cophylogeny reconstruction problem. It is very fast and generally finds very good solutions. Since Tarzan and Jane generally produce different solutions, the practioner may wish to use both tools simultaneously.
It is important to note that Tarzan sometimes finds solutions that contain timing incompatabilties that render its solutions incorrect. Here we demonstrate one such case.
This is a tree on which Tarzan's solutions contain timing incompatibilities. Download the tree file .
Use the following set of costs:
Select the first cost-minimal reconstruction
Here is the solution
These three associations should appear in the solution
(186,T.canarensis,2)
(188,G. tenera,2)
(202,12,1)
186, 188, 202 are a direct chain of parent-child vertices.
Here is that series of associations mapped onto the host tree as
host switches.
This host switch causes a parasite's descendant to land on the ancestor of the host on which it is mapped. This is clearly incorrect.
All of the 100 solutions reported by Tarzan for this problem instance are incorrect due to such timing incompatibilities.

Many Books Many Similar Learnings
I’ve read a fair few books in the past 2 years. Some self help books, others specific to management. After a while the messages all seem to blur together. How to have composure, foresight, goal setting, communicating, motivating, leading, physical/mental health, all seem to have a general theme. For the time being I’m going to try and be succinct as possible and provide a list of over arching themes. But I do recommend the following books.
The books
- The Effective Manager
- Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone
- The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM)
- Awaken the Giant Within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial
- Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
- The Compound Effect
The themes
Now a lot of this can be borrowed from the Miracle Morning; though that is not to say all of this is limited to the morning. Hal Elrod broke down a lot of the themes into broad sections. I won’t list them out specifically as some can be split up. I do however recommend reading that book as a great first start into some ceremonies you can incorporate into your day…. if you’re not a morning person.
- Reflection - gathering thoughts from previous actions or encounters. Articulate them, verbally or written.
- Meditation - quieten the mind, raise your senses
- Visualization - imagine where you want to be, or an analogy of a race car driver “If you don’t want to crash, look where you want to go”
- Believe - change your belief systems. Remove any self imposed limitations on your thoughts and simply do. Holding oneself back is the first step backwards.
- Exercise - get those endorphins flowing and your attention into the now
- Compound - small changes in yourself, your routine and your beliefs ultimately compound upon massive change
- Vocabulary - Flip the negative and deprecative tone to look towards solutions or positive motion
- External Force - There is some talk of a higher power in some of these books. I previously thought I was on the Nihilist camp; in that, rejection of religion and all the principles and stigma attached. However some books rather linked a belief in any higher power, even if that higher power was a stuffed animal on your desk, as a means of removing self absorbed interest in oneself and shifting focus outside. Interesting concept and a way to remind yourself, you are not the center of the universe… until science proves otherwise.
- Disrupt - If a mental image comes to mind, you have the ability to distort it and thus alter the image retrieved at a future time. Add color, add tone, add a different perspective. The original emotion will be altered next time you come across this artifact.
- Neural Pathways - Be aware that your brain is a series of pathways. Like a park, paths form from higher traffic, or, if they’re used more. The more you practice a positive or negative task, the more reinforcement you’re physically forming in your brain. Habits happen, habits can be exercised.
- Connectedness - Connect with people. Find groups. Find relationships, build networks. Find belonging not find yourself trying to “fit in”.
- Focus on Breath - Like these pathways, reactions become instinctual. Control adrenaline responses and slow the mind by focusing on your breath. Connect your body in a short moment and slow your mind to control your reaction going forward.
So what am I doing with it?
It has been great to delve into different practices and start to incorporate them into my daily life. For instance, this falls into the reflection component. However more importantly a lot of these components have opened my eyes up to behaviour and widened my toolset for approaching or confronting issues.
One point I left out of this list is reading. I will not stop reading. Different perspectives open the mind and challenge oneself. I’ll continue to update this post with more books and learnings.
