Designing Random Number Generators
- existing methods: block data, DAO solution, external service, state-channel
- limitations: miner dependency, blocktime dependency, centralization, exception handling
- SlotNSlot design: 2-parties commit&reveal with Whisper p2p messages
Random Number Generators in Gambling
Random number generator(or RNG) is critical in ensuring fairness of gambles, random meaning "equally unpredictable" in the context. In typical computer systems, RNGs are designed to take sufficient entropy from sources such as hard disk drive and use the entropy to generate the numbers. The sources are in many cases the timestamp of the system, which then be encrypted with a one-way function. These kinds of RNGs are used in most of existing games, and is a necessity especially in gambling.
RNG in Ethereum
In blockchain networks, numerous nodes share a consensus of "states", thus making it a deterministic system. It is impossible to generate randomness solely inside any deterministic system. There might exist contract codes that generate randomness using seeds from the system that commits the code, but this would disrupt the consensus of the blockchain since the resulting value of that randomness will be different depending on who computes it (i.e. nodes will have different states). Blockchain developers have been researching various breakthroughs to this problem.
1. Utilizing Block data
Every block has unique data such as blockhash, timestamp, and any other miner-defined values. Some of such values like blockhash are unpredictable thus leaving usability for seed of randomness. For example, Alex Van De Sande proposed using previous blockhashes as seeds and SHA3 encrypting them to generate random numbers.
As he describes in the comments, this has a vulnerability that the miner can decide whether to publish the block after getting the resulting random number. To describe the problem in short, the resulting random number is block-dependent. Nevertheless, unlike other alternatives this method gives immediate response from the smart contract, and is most straightforward with no requirement for other considerations except for the miner manipulation.
2. DAO Solutions
RANDAO proposed a collective commit&reveal scheme to generate random numbers. It solved the block dependency problem mentioned above by distributing the entropy seeds to a specified number of participants. The RANDAO method flows with two steps.
In the first step, more than N participants commit their encrypted SHA3(s) value to the contract along with a specified amount of ETH as pledge, during a specified period. If the contract received less than N number of commits, this round of RNG fails and the pledged ETH are returned. After receiving more than N encrypted SHA3(s), in the second step, participants reveal their original numbers s to the contract. If all of them are verified, they are used as seeds to generate random numbers to be sent to requesting contracts, and the pledged ETH plus commissions from requesting contracts are rewarded equally to every participant. If any of the participants fails to reveal a valid original number, that participant loses the pledged ETH and other participants are refunded their pledged ETH plus the penalized pledge. The RNG fails in this case as well.
This makes the RANDAO method fragile to DDoS attacks, since a single malignant participant can disrupt the RNG. Furthermore, the RANDAO method can't achieve an immediate RNG. Video gambling games require a minimum degree of speed in gameplay, which is in SlotNSlot case less than 10s for every play.
Vitalik Buterin suggested a modified DAO solution which doesn't depend on honest revelation of participants. The idea is to hash-encrypt the seeds for enough rounds, as well as tweaking the seeds by adding the blockhash. According to Vitalik, even a single participant won't be able to manipulate the result. There's still limitations that it still suffers from miner manipulation, and requirement of timespan for a specified N blocks confirmation. Moreover, transaction fee would skyrocket if the computation of such enough rounds would take place on-chain. (According to Ethereum yellow paper, Blockhash computation costs 40 gas.)
3. Off-Chain Solutions
Some found a breakthrough on existing RNG services outside blockchain, such as random.org or WolframAlpha by utilizing oraclize.it. When a contract requests random number with oraclize.it API, random numbers generated off-chain are sent via oracle contract to the requesting contract. These will trigger _callback() function inside the contract to finalize the RNG request.
This may sound as simple as the API calls in centralized services. However, there are obvious problems. Fail-proof property of DApps evaporates since these centralized services can be suspended anytime. As mentioned above, requiring some blocks confirmation exists in this implementation as well, thus making it unsuitable for real-time services. Above all, a centralized service can be corrupt at any time. Imagine someone playing the slot machine game while the same person determining the random number for that game. This absolutely doesn't make sense at all.
4. State-Channel Solution
State channels came out to enable frequent micro transactions between two specific parties with exactly two transactions on-chain. The micro transactions take place off-chain with co-signing of both parties, and final "state" is verified on-chain. A state channel is initialized by pledging certain amount of ETH from both parties on a multi-sig contract. Transactions inside the state channel contain a nonce, each having a greater value than its previous one. A single final state with the largest nonce will be verified by the initializing contract as a final state to be updated to.
Dennis Peterson posted an example code implementing the idea. Each players initialize a chain of hashed values long enough to cover numerous transactions, 10,000 in Dennis's example(hereafter would refer to this "chain" as X-chain to distinguish from the blockchain). Each value on these X-chains are encrypted value of its previous one. (i.e. X[10000] = SHA3( X[9999] ) ). For every transaction in the state channel, each player sends the last unused value from the X-chain. These values are preimage of the values sent in previous transaction, thus enabling verification of them. The values are then used as seeds for RNG to run the game. As soon as the whole X-chain is consumed, or either of players requests to quit, the final state will be sent to the initializing contract.
State channel solutions would definitely reduce the cost since they are off-chain, and the time required for each RNG trigger is at worst case less than 2 seconds. However, since SlotNSlot aims to support mobile platforms, which is prone to exceptional disconnections such as battery exhaustion and network disconnection, exception handling came as a significant problem.
Imagine Alice and Bob, as in Dennis' example, playing a thousand of rounds with their 10,000 numbers X-chain. Bob's phone suddenly turns off, disconnecting him from the network. Alice still has whole transaction histories from 1st to 1,000th round, corresponding to 10,000th and 9,000th numbers on the X-chain respectively. She then has a decision over those 1,000 "states" to submit to the initializing contract as the final state, since all of them are already co-signed by both Alice and Bob. If Bob couldn't get connected back for a certain period of time, say 1 hour, the design of the contract must be either i) to accept what Alice submits assuming Bob to be maliciously and intentionally not submitting, or ii) to wait for Bob to also submit. As waiting forever can't handle the former case, the contract would wait for a specified period, and after this Bob would unfortunately be considered intentionally not submitting. Then the contract must be designed such that it forces Alice to submit the final state, i.e. 1,000th round, because otherwise she would submit one of the states that maximizes her benefits.
This scenario is just one of situations we guess would happen. The SlotNSlot team is aware that there are several developers researching on this implementation. However, the team has planned to implement a distinctive method, which will provide more options to the Ethereum society.
SlotNSlot Solution
In designing SlotNSlot RNG solution, major considerations were issues mentioned above; no miner dependency, no blocktime dependency, no manipulation of game results, low transaction fee, and exception handling. The team had come up with a commit/reveal scheme, using the Whisper protocol. In the design, both parties will trade their seeds (commit&reveal) off-chain with Whisper, and then the last-to-reveal party will reveal to the chain both seeds. The flow is as follows.
1. [p2p] A player triggers a spin in the slot, calling the banker to send his own encrypted random number N' (= SHA3(N)) with Whisper protocol.
2. [txn] The player generates his own encrypted random number M' (=SHA3(M)) which isn't used previously, and send it to the game contract with N'.
3. [txn] The game contract id is sent to player.
4. [p2p] Player sends his M' with game contract id to the banker to verify the game.
5. [p2p] The banker verifies the game, and sends his original N to the player.
6. [txn] The player sends both the original numbers (N, M) to the game contract. The contract verifies (N, M), uses XOR(N,M) as a seed to generate the random numbers, and records the result.
As this method utilizes a commit&reveal scheme, there is no manipulation possible nor the miner dependency. Transaction fee and blocktime dependency is minimized by using Whisper, i.e. transferring seeds off-chain. Exception handling is further relieved by recording the game histories in atomic unit.
In a presentation by Timo Hanke, it was mentioned that commit&reveal schemes have an fundamental limitation that the last-to-reveal always have a choice to abort the result, i.e. not revealing the final seed. In SlotNSlot design, it wouldn't be a problem since the last revealer is always the player of the slot, and the player's worst case result is always losing the bet on that specific round. Thus, if the game contract failed to receive the last reveal stage, it could just penalize the player by giving the bet to the banker.
SlotNSlot's current solution has relieved some of existing challenges from RNG on blockchain. There are, however, still much to improve in cost, speed, and exception handling issues. The team will continuously devote to researching possible modifications and/or alternatives for a better RNG design. Keep up with SlotNSlot communication channels to find out what's more to come up in the near future.

Stay with us for reaction and the overall result for the South East region.
First place for the Brexit Party in Dartford too.
While the Brexit Party has been registered massive numbers in the first results released, Change UK has performed abysmally, despite promises of shaking up the polls.
Early results suggested Labour was at about 14.1%, sharply down on the last European election where it scored 25.4% and far below its 2017 high water mark, where it secured 40%. The Conservatives were beaten into fifth place.
The Liberal Democrats won three seats, while the Conservatives, Labour and Greens have one MEP each.
With nearly all votes counted in Hungary, exit polls pointing to a crushing victory for Viktor Orbán's governing Fidesz-KDNP appear to have been vindicated, with the prime minister's party claiming around 52 per cent of the vote - far, far ahead of the opposition liberal coalition, on around 16 per cent. Labour came third in Wales.
In total, the United Kingdom elects 73 MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) to the 751-seat parliament.
Farage casts Britain's political system as broken and says parliament and the government are trying to thwart Brexit.
Farage, who as UKIP leader persuaded May's predecessor, David Cameron, to call the Brexit referendum and then helped lead the campaign to leave the European Union, has said that failure to implement Brexit would show Britain not to be a democracy.
Of the remain parties, the Lib Dems were up by more than 12% while the Greens were up by 7%.
The Liberal Democrats, who campaigned under the slogan "Bollocks to Brexit", oppose Brexit and want a second referendum to stop it.
"It looks like it's going to be a big win for the Brexit Party", Farage told reporters as he arrived in Southampton for a vote count for the South East region where he is standing as a candidate.
"A vote for the Liberal Democrats is a vote for an worldwide, outward-looking Britain", Cable told his final election rally last week.

Cables caught fire outside a Midtown office building Thursday afternoon, causing hundreds of people to be evacuated amid concerns of smoke inhalation and elevated carbon monoxide levels, officials said.
Three people who worked in the building, which has entrances on 33rd and 34th Streets between 8th and 9th avenue, were taken to Bellevue Hospital for what fire officials described as minor cases of smoke inhalation. More than 20 others were checked at the scene by EMS workers.
FDNY Battalion Chief Joseph Ferrante said approximately 20 fire units were on the scene, and were asked to put out the burning fire on the sidewalk on 33rd Street.
A Con Ed spokesman said the fire was likely the result of "an overheating situation," but said an investigation was ongoing.

California cannabis vape cartridge makers facing counterfeit products hurdle
Mainstream industry brands have long contended with product knockoffs ranging from North Face jackets to Rolex watches.
Now the problem is increasingly appearing in the marijuana industry – with vaporizer cartridges a key target.
The issue can be a major headache for targeted companies. Counterfeiting can result in lost sales and downward pressure on the authentic product's price – not to mention bad publicity if the bogus item is deemed unsafe.
An example is Mammoth Distribution, an exclusive distributor for Heavy Hitters, a line of disposable cannabis vape cartridges in California.
The company was alarmed when it learned a few months ago that counterfeit Heavy Hitters cartridges were showing up in illegal storefronts.
"This could be potentially unsafe to consumers … buying it thinking that they're getting a better deal from these unlicensed shops," Davis said."There are unlicensed shops in California selling this product at a lower price," said Hannah Davis, chief marketing officer for Los Angeles-based Mammoth Distribution.
Here are three things cannabis companies should understand about the issue:
1. Counterfeiting in China is rampant.
Heavy Hitters' vaporizer cartridges and packaging are manufactured in China, where rip-offs of mainstream brands are a regular occurrence since intellectual property isn't as protected as in other countries.
Davis said at least one Chinese manufacturer has:
- Stolen Heavy Hitters' name and logo.
- Manufactured unauthorized cartridges and packaging featuring "fairly similar" branding.
- Sold cartridges online at sites such as Ali Baba.
To see one example of a counterfeit Heavy Hitters offering that Davis said was being advertised online in early December, click here.
Davis said third parties buy the knockoff cartridges, fill the empty cartridges with cannabis oil and sell them on the illicit market, both in California and in other states – often for steep discounts.
"We've seen counterfeits up to half the price of what we're selling," Davis said.
Heavy Hitters isn't the only company to face this problem.
"Name any big brand, go to Ali Baba and search X brand packaging, and you'll pretty much find it," Davis said, adding that bogus products are appearing on other websites as well.
There's also no shortage of illegal retailers eager to cash in on brand recognition, said Lauren Fraser, executive director at the Cannabis Distribution Association.
2. The counterfeit problem could expand.
Counterfeiting could likely grow larger as long as the unlicensed California market continues to thrive, and Fraser said she's seen an uptick in complaints about counterfeit products in recent months.
"There are still hundreds of unlicensed shops and delivery services in the state, and that is where this issue is most pervasive," Fraser said, adding that counterfeiting has been growing over the course of 2018, in part because vaporizer cartridges are among the easiest MJ products to replicate illegally.
"Some of the larger brands that have real existing market traction and demand are probably the biggest targets for this, because the brands almost sell themselves," Fraser said.
She added that one of the reasons the problem is so prevalent in California is because there are still many unlicensed shops that predate the state's new fully legal market that launched in January.
Many of the brands now being counterfeited also predate the regulated market and therefore already have solid consumer brand recognition.
CannaCraft, another California marijuana company, said it began getting reports about a year ago that AbsoluteXtracts, a vape cartridge line it distributes, were being counterfeited and sold illegally.
"Obviously, it's a huge, huge mess if you can't find those kind of counterfeiters, because we don't know what they're putting in those cartridges," said CannaCraft co-founder Dennis Hunter.
Hunter said it's "scary" to think about the ramifications if a counterfeit vaporizer cartridge was tested and found to contain toxic pesticides, both for consumers that may be using dangerous MJ products as well as the company whose brand was ripped off.
"If you have a cartridge out there that does have pesticides in it and it gets tested somewhere down the line, then there's the PR piece to it," Hunter said. "And you're trying to explain, 'This isn't us.'
"But at that point, the cat's out of the bag and you can't really put it back in, even if you had nothing to do with it. It can really hurt your company."
3. It's unclear what recourse brands have to protect themselves.
Mammoth and Heavy Hitters reported their findings to state officials, Davis said, and left it to regulators to pursue.
They're also taking legal action in China, but Mammoth's Davis declined to give specifics.
She also said that Mammoth is focusing primarily on consumer education and getting the word out that Heavy Hitters users should purchase only from state-licensed retailers to ensure they're buying legitimate Heavy Hitters vape cartridges………

Nothing is more exciting than getting a new car and few things are as overwhelming as applying for auto financing. If you apply for more than you can afford, for example, you risk getting turned down, paying for the next 60 months more than you have to give or, even worse, defaulting on the loan and ruining your credit.
The truth is most people can get a car loan but not all loans are created equal. Like most things, there is a right and a wrong way to go about financing a car.
What is the smartest way to auto finance?
Understanding How Financing A Car Works
Perhaps one of the first things you should do as you learn about car finance options is to determine what kind and how much of a vehicle you can afford.
Most experts recommend you spend no more than 10% of your income on a car payment.
Next, determine your current credit score. The better the score the less interest you pay. Rates fluctuate and vary from lender to lender. How much you make a year, the length of the loan and how much you put down may factor into the rate, as well.
On average car finance rates are as follows:
- 500 to 589 = 15.24 percent interest rate
- 590 to 619 = 14.06 percent interest rate
- 620 to 659 = 9.72 percent interest rate
- 660 to 689 = 7.02 percent interest rate
- 720 to 850 = 3.60 percent interest rate
You will also want to calculate the affordability of potential auto loans.
If you can pay $300 per month and get a 60-month loan at 7.55%, you can afford a car that costs around $15,000 plus your down payment and before title and tax.
That number will go up or down depending on the length of the loan.
For example, if you are willing to pay on the loan for six years instead of five, you can afford a car that costs just over $17,000 but you will pay an additional year of interest. One year can end up costing you another thousand dollars or more if you have a high-interest rate loan.
In many cases, the interest rate may go up if you extend the terms of the loan, as well. If the interest rate is 7.55% at 60 months (five years), it might be 7.75% at 72 months (six years).
Tips For Getting The Best Car Finance Options
There are ways to ensure you get the best auto finance possible--and at the right time.
Consider Your Credit Score
If your credit score is low and you can wait, take steps to improve it before you buy a new car. Look for ways to build your credit like making on-time payments and paying the balance in full each month.
The difference between a fair score and a good one is thousands of dollars in interest.
Also, take a careful look at your credit report and fix any errors.
Down Payment
Take the time to save a decent down payment. The more you put down the better. It will not only improve your options for getting a low-interest loan, but it will reduce the amount you pay over the life of the loan.
Get Pre-Qualified
A dealer is more likely to negotiate the sale price if you already have financing.
Even if the pre-qualified loan is more than you want to pay in interest, it's worth having before you shop. It gives the dealer a chance to get you better financing, too.
Shop Around For The Best Rates
Start at your local credit union. Community-focused, member-centric financial institutions offer some of the most competitive car finance rates and flexible terms you'll find.
Think Big Picture
Often people figure out how much they can pay each month on a vehicle and stop there. They respond to TV ads that say you can get this or that car for just 200 dollars a month. If all you see is the monthly payment, then you don't know what you are paying for the car or how high the interest rate is for the loan.
Look at all aspects of auto finance, and break it down by:
- Cost of the car
- Interest rate
- Loan term
- Monthly payment
Making Wise Auto Finance Decisions
When it comes to putting your hard-earned money towards a major purchase, like a car, it's always best to go in well-informed.

The following is an excerpt from "Education Cargo Cults Must Die" by John Hattie and Arran Hamilton. To download the full white paper and others in the Corwin Educator Series, click here.
In many education systems, it is a mandatory requirement that every teacher undergoes at least an annual observation by their school leader. Heads and principals generally use some form of rubric or scoring sheet and rate their teachers against this.
At our last count, we located 120+ observation forms that had been published with some evidence about their reliability and validity. These observations are often used for performance management purposes, to identify who are the 'good' and 'less good' teachers, and by national inspectorates to make more holistic judgments about whether a school is outstanding, good, or poor. They are also used for developmental purposes, with teachers peer-reviewing each other's lessons so they can offer one another advice and harvest good practice to apply back in their own classrooms. Finally, they can be used to sift education cargo cults from education gold by observing the impact of a new education product or teacher development program in the classroom.
But we should ask ourselves an important question: Can you actually see, hear, and sniff a good lesson? Are our five senses any good at measuring outstanding, adequate, and poor? Can we see the impact of a teacher in a class of students? Do we watch teacher performance or do we watch the impact on the students? What if the performance is spectacular, but the impact of little consequence?
If we phrase the question as a binary yes/no choice, then the answer to whether we can make meaningful and rigorous observations is a resounding yes. And, by binary, we mean questions where there is a clear yes/no answer, like:
- Is the teacher in the classroom?
- Are they talking to the class?
- Are the children all awake?
- Has homework been set and marked?
It's relatively straightforward to establish a sampling plan for each of these and any two observers will have a high degree of consistency in their observations [with minimal training], even if they are not educationalists.
So, for these kinds of binary questions about the performance, we can see, hear and sniff reasonably reliably. We could probably stretch from binary to asking questions about frequency—how often something occurred (e.g. were all the students awake, all the time during the lesson?).
But when we want to use observation to determine whether the teacher delivered a high-quality lesson and ask:
- Did the teacher deliver a "good" leasson?
- Did the students "achieve" the learning objective?
- Were the learning objectives worthwhile, appropriate, and challenging?
- Was the classwork a "good" fit with classroom-based activity?
- Did the teacher provided "good" feedback?
- Were the education products "effective"?
- Did the teacher-training program deliver "impact" in the classroom?
We open a huge can of worms. Who decides what "good" is and who decides what "impact" means?
Observers rely on proxies for learning. A proxy measure is when we use one thing that's quite easy to get data about to tell us about something else, which is much more difficult to get data about. For example, doctors rely on blood tests, blood pressure and heart rate analyses to tell them whether a patient is fit and well. And, generally, these work relatively well, but it's possible to have a rare type of illness that does not show up on these types of tests—which means that you might be given a clean bill of health by the doctor, but actually be at death's door.
It's the same with lesson observations. It is possible that, when we measure with our eyes, we are looking in the wrong areas. When we see busy, engaged students in a calm and ordered classroom where some students have supplied the correct answers and we conclude that a heck of a lot of learning is going on, it is quite possible that absolutely nothing of any significance is being learned at all.
We know, too, that much of what goes on inside the classroom is completely hidden. The late great Graham Nuthall, in his seminal work The Hidden Lives of Learners (2007), theorizes that there are 3 separate cultural spheres at play in the classroom: the Public Sphere [in theory controlled by the teacher], the Social Sphere of the students [which the teacher is often unaware of] and the Private Mental Worlds of the students themselves [which both the teacher and the other students are unable to directly access]. In short, most of what goes on in the classroom is inaccessible to the teacher and less still to a third-party observer.
Confounding this, the evidence from neuroscience suggests that, of the vast array of data that is collected by our various senses each second, very little is actively processed by the conscious mind. So, even within the Public Sphere that we have direct access to as observers, it's likely that we see very little. As we focus narrowly on some aspects of classroom practice, we miss the stooge in a gorilla suit dancing across the room. As observers, we have our own lens, our own theories and beliefs about what we consider is "best" practice, and these can bias the observations, no matter how specific the questions in any observation system. Most observations of other teachers end with us telling the teacher how they can teach more like us!
The challenge with observation is that often we end up seeing what we want to see and we can be guided by our cognitive biases. The process of observing is like interpreting a Rorschach Image—one of those ink blot images that psychiatrists show to their patients—where some say they can see their mother and others JFK.
The image above, popularized by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1953), provides a similar conundrum. When we undertake lesson observations, do we see a duck or do we see a rabbit?
The data is the same, but we can interpret and re-interpret it in more than one way.

Courage - Yuraj Singh
by BelgaumOnline.com on 12/02/2013 - 07:29 am
"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." -Nelson Mandela
Nothing is as overwhelming as fighting your darkest fears, when all the possible rays of hope seem to have faded away. Victory is bound to find its way towards you when you fight with every inch of strength left in you. Nobody understands this sentiment better than the flamboyant Yuvraj Singh, who won his battle against a rare form of cancer called seminoma like a true warrior.
Yuvraj is not an extraordinary person to have survived and tackled his crisis, he is simply a normal person like you and me with extraordinary courage. The courage that he didn't let go off throughout his ordeal. Through his triumph over cancer, he has set a perfect example for all his fans, teaching them that no thing is unachievable if you are determined to acquire it.
The not so good news came to him soon after he celebrated the Indian victory at the 2011 World Cup, wherein he was also awarded 'the man of the tournament.' He went through the usual phases each person experiences when faced with a dilemma; denial, acceptance and tackling it. While throwing light on his experience, Yuvraj said, "There were times when chemo would eat my body but I told myself that I have the strength and courage to win and come out stronger. I thought I'd go back and play for India." Sure he did, and how! scoring a double century during the T20 World Cup.
We all need is that extra push. That extra something which makes difficulty a worthy and learning experience. For Yuvraj it was Lance Armstrong's book 'It's Not About The Bike." It was this that kept him going and the support of his family, friends and fans. So let us look up to Yuvraj's struggle in times of despair, and keep faith in ourselves, in our strength.

A Niagara Falls man was hit on the head and killed Wednesday after opening the door for two people banging to get inside an apartment building, according to reports.
Jose Hewitt, 59, was the unintended victim of thieves who were intent on robbing other residents of the building, reports The Buffalo News.
Police charged Shequan Herbert and Stephanie Raymond with second-degree murder and robbery. Police are still searching for a third suspect.
Herbert, 22, and Raymond, 18, are accused of killing Hewitt at the Pine Avenue apartment, said Niagara Falls police.
When Raymond and Herbert showed up at the apartment, they couldn't access a common hallway to get inside, according to police. They banged on the building's outer door. Unaware of their plans, Hewitt told them to go around and use the door in the back of the building, police said.
That's when the pair attacked Hewitt by hitting him in the head with a handgun, according to police. They left him in the doorway, went to an upstairs apartment and robbed another man at gunpoint, taking about $4,000 before fleeing the scene, according to WIVB News 4.
A friend of the victim called police. When police arrived, they found Hewitt bleeding and in distress. Hewitt died before an ambulance arrived, according to police.
If convicted of the charges they're facing, both Raymond and Herbert could spend 25 years-to-life behind bars.
Both are being held on $100,000 cash bail and are due back in court next week. Herbert and Raymond do not have any prior charges.

In Go, there is no implicit pass-by-reference. Everything is a value, unless using a pointer12.
package main import "fmt" type Person struct { Name string } func passByVal(person Person) Person { // changing the name won't have an effect on the original variable person.Name = "John Smith" return person } func passByRef(person *Person) *Person { // changing the name will have an effect on the original variable person.Name = "John Smith" return person } func main() { me := Person{Name: "Preslav Rachev"} fmt.Println(me) fmt.Println(passByVal(me)) fmt.Println(me) fmt.Println(*passByRef(&me)) fmt.Println(me) }
will result in the following output:
{Preslav Rachev} {John Smith} {Preslav Rachev} {John Smith} {John Smith}
Go does not have generics, the way other languages do. Frankly, because of the complexity they introduce. This is not to say that you cannot acieve some sort of type of formal restrictions, but mainly, using Go's native constructs3.
Readers and Writers
type Writer interface { Write(p []byte) (n int, err error) }
Passing a string to a writer
Often, you will need to conver a string to a slice of bytes, in order to pass it to a
Writer. The easiest way to do this in Go, is using simple type conversion. The code in the following example will write the string "Hello World!" to an HTTP
ResponseWriter instance, which is technically a
Writer, since it implements the
Write method.

Right Wing Bloggers Desperate to Blame Germanwings Crash on Muslims
By now everyone's heard about the reports that a French prosecutor has alleged that copilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed a Germanwings A320 into an alpine mountain late Tuesday. Key word, of course, being "alleged," because nothing has been determined for certain yet.
But that doesn't stop the Stupidest Man on the Internet, the inestimable Jim Hoft, from screaming: PHOTO—- the Copilot Who Murdered 149 People on a Germanwings Airbus A320 | the Gateway Pundit.
DERPPhotos were released today of the copilot who murdered 149 people on a Germanwings Airbus A320.
The copilot would not let the pilot back into the cockpit after he left to use the restroom.
28-year-old German Andreas Lubitz trained in the [sic] Phoenix, Arizona and is pictured here in San Francisco.
Somehow Hoft managed to refrain from automatically blaming the crash on Muslims, as he normally would — probably because he knew his knuckle-dragging readers would do it for him. And they responded like Pavlov's dogs:
News of recent conversion to Islam in 3…2…
the PC crowd will never 'reveal' his true 'ties'
another pilot "…trained in the US." —
but- this was not a terrorist- attack -
islam is a religion of peace-
Andreas Lubitz, peace be upon him, is no more Islamic than the Sharpton is hustling.
"Not known" just means he was smarter than the stupid (liberal) people running Germany.
Time that we start testing every pilot before every flight. Hand them a bacon sandwiche and throw any that don't eat it off the dam plane.
Showing pix of him at San Francisco proves his communist leanings.
This tragedy should be blamed on muslims anyway ! : without 9/11, and other arab/muslim "air terrorism" (highjacking etc), the cockpit door would have been normal (not reinforced etc) and it could have been opened by the locked out pilot/crew who then could have retaken control of the plane.
Was he a Muzzie who changed his name or had converted recently?
Photographed at a sodomite mecca.
Could this be the new ingenious tactic the terrorists are using to down planes?
This crazed response isn't unique to Jim Hoft's hate site; if you look at comments on any right wing blog or media site today you'll find similar Islamophobic rants. For example, from the story at Breitbart "News:"
Accommodations to Islamic pilots could allow them room for a prayer rug in the cockpit and allowing them to navigate towards Mecca for Prayer Time before readjusting heading for final destination.
No Qu'rans allowed signs posted
yelling Allah Akbar while downing a plane is so yesterday..
The ACCELERATING demographics in Europe show that the 'NO-GO' areas of ISLAMIC CULTURE are GROWING and, as they MERGE, there will be FEWER and FEWER places to LAND.
Does O-hole allow Muslims to pilot AF One?
It would be interesting to know, how many times AF One has been flown by a Muslim?
I think andreas last thoughts went to Allah
At Breitbart there are thousands of comments like this. There's a deep, deep sickness running amok in the right wing base.

In general, an abomination is something abhorrent or disgusting; things that are a cause for abhorrence or disgust.
Some translations of the Bible use this word often (such as the Amplified version), whereas others use it seldom or not at all.
It is used in several contexts, such as things that are unholy and an affront to God, various forms of moral depravity, or sins in general.
A list of "abominations" (or detestable things) is given in Proverbs 6:16-19: a proud look, lying, murder, planning evil, running towards evil, a false witness, and stirring up trouble.
