You can write to the same IPNS entry with multiple different computers, but i'm not sure that would be the desired way of updating this.
One way i would imagine it could be done is using crdts in combination with some global immutable log (not necessarily a blockchain). Then there needs to be some sort of concept of identity to help avoid spam and trolls, I really like the idea of a web of trust, and that could very likely work here. I'd love to see more widespread applications of CRDTs
Thanks, I actually tried searching for it (rather than writing how I remembered it), but it was too difficult to find.

"Despite the apparent failures of the abstinence approach to sex ed, half of all states now embrace it, and the trend shows no sign of abating."

That's because today lawmaking is devoid of facts. It's all about ideology, i.e. what I want to believe will happen whether it happens or not, than about reason to measure and analyze what happens and modify our approach accordingly. This is the essence of Dark Age thinking.

Ok, for the sake of facts, and I'm not quoting Wikipedia.

- Spain named several governors for those islands from 1774 to 1810. Sovereignity was clearly stated by Spain over those islands.

- During that time, those islands depended of Buenos Aires government.

- If Spain owned Argentina plus the Malvinas, then once Argentina got its independence from Spain, the Malvinas were included as part of that independence.

- 1820, frigate La Heroína sailed to Malvinas to take possesion of it

- 1825, Great Britain admitted Argentina's independence from Spain, but didn't claim the islands.

- 1828, Buenos Aires government granted Port Soledad to Luis Vernet, for building up a colony. For this purpose, he shipped 100 inhabitants to the islands.

- 1829, Vernet was named as governor of the islands

- 1833, Great Britain took the Malvinas, and expelled the inhabitants from the islands.

Not to mention other facts like geology, and that the UN approved the new map for Argentina, which expands the continental shelf all around the islands.[1][2]

So, care to tell me how can Argentina OWN all the argentinean sea shelf AROUND the islands, BUT the islands?

The biggest workaholics I know are from the UK and EU. Its not really cultural outside of edge cases like Nordic economies, which will probably slide back to the norm after the oil money runs out or after they have a major economic event which means less capital to spread across the population. Capitalism more or less demands workaholism and people conform to it often thinking they don't have a choice or do have a choice but need to settle to never being promoted. Its not like everyone agreed to live poorly. The system itself is problematic as the guys at the top call the shots and they themselves are workaholics because it takes a workaholic to get to the top. Then that culture peters down to everyone.

The real issue is why doesn't later stages capitalism just create wealth for all? Why does my boss's ideas of work, which he learned from his boss, eventually trickle down to my idea of work and when I push back I open myself up to punishment? Why does his greed normalize work life?

I imagine a maximum income/net wealth cap on individuals would stop that but short of a revolution I don't see that happening anytime soon.

This is definitely a cause worth fighting for, but something that I've noticed is that nobody cares about these internet issues unless a major corporation's profits are threatened. The media was largely silent about NSA spying and as a result there was no organized movement against it. People said this was due to privacy being too abstract of a concept for people to care, but I fail to see how the issue of ISP's charging internet companies not to throttle them is any less abstract for the average person. There's something else at play here.

I do a lot of work with public-sector employees. I always thought they were lazy (which I think is a fairly common feeling throughout the private sector). Some are, of course. But unfortunately the problem is not one of drive but of competence. In technology specifically, the public-sector employees I've worked with simply do not have the skills of a private-sector employee with similar responsibilities/experience. I don't know if it's the lower salary or what but I can count on one hand the number of technical public-sector employees who would be able to have a similarly-titled position in any of the private sector companies I've worked for.

IBM did a “back to the field” thing in the 1980s to encourage people to leave the various labs and join field teams. This was back in the no–layoffs era at IBM. About ten years later many of those people got caught out as IBM quickly downsized in 1993–1995.

So this isn't the first time IBM has done this sort of thing.

When I ran www.ibm.com we had a mix of local (NYC) and remote staff, mostly doing sysadmin tasks, not so much programming. Everyone hung out on our internal IRC channel. We'd do daily checkins and document everything that happened in a Notes db (ugly but the advantage that we could keep a reference copy on our laptops).
I know this comment has been downvoted, but I think in light of current events it does deserve merit. China has managed to do a spectacular job of lifting its populace from abject poverty... while spectacularly abusing human rights and flagrantly violating rules of law and due process. But the American system, if it continues to be dominated by rich oligarchs...how does it work for the benefit of its weakest citizens? I really hope that it does not turn out that way, but you can't deny that it isn't a possibility, with the current US president calling the media "Enemy no.1", not having any respect for independent judiciary, attacking other religions etc.

Outside of large cities, most of America can't even afford the upkeep associated with their existing infrastructure. I'm not sure how you think they'll be able to afford large scale fiber deployments.

Or maybe you're saying that private ISPs will perform the deployment and then share their fiber? Which seems wildly unrealistic.
Everyone who works in an industry that delivers content via the web should be very concerned. This gives the larger established players the ability to crush any upstarts simply by throwing money at the problem.

That's a poor analogy. No one forces you to hire an artist to create a commissioned artwork for you, but that doesn't mean that anyone actually needs to do that, and in fact, very few people hire artists on commission, because it's purely a luxury. Similarly, no one forces you to buy a Rolls-Royce, and whining that there's only one (insanely overpriced) Rolls Royce dealer in town isn't going to generate much sympathy, because again it's purely a luxury.

Internet access these days isn't a luxury, it's a necessity if you're in any kind of non-minimum-wage profession, and it's a necessity to participate in modern culture in many ways. People do banking, pay their bills, look for jobs, read the news, file their taxes, etc. online these days; it's just as necessary as a telephone was 20 years ago.

Cable TV is not a necessity at all; it's a luxury. It's no more necessary than a Ferrari or a Rolex or box seats at a sports game or a meal at a $100/plate restaurant.

Yes, I do.

To be honest, I did not write unit tests for my previous side projects. I just think that my codes "it works". I realized that it makes me hard to find a bug on the code when given some test cases. Developing a program is not only just "it works" but also ensure the program can handle the test cases.
Well, if I take all my friends to your house, kick you out of it, and we all vote it's ours, we can keep it then?
I wonder if this is related to the object vs procedure approach to programming.

Funny enough this motivates me to try to become a startup founder. Even if I fail, I'll at least have some emotion in my life and will not be playing it safe coding away until I'm old.

Making $150k in the US is nothing remarkable, especially if you're a dual-earner family. Good luck affording decent housing in many metro areas if you make less than that.
The US did an almost similar thing, riding off European technology with virtually no R&D greatly benefiting. And before that, Europe did a similar thing by riding off Chinese (gunpowder and paper) and Indian (arabic numeral) technology, with virtually no R&D, greatly benefiting.... See how hollow that argument is?
>the whole point of this thread: that WMF's primary contribution is Wikipedia, and almost everything else is secondary. So long as it's being funded by private citizens because of the value they get from Wikipedia, then this should be the focus.

I have to agree. I keep seeing pleas for donations on Wikipedia when I browse it, but now that I'm reading that they're spending most of that money on other bullshit besides Wikipedia itself, that means I no longer feel any need or duty to donate. I don't use all that other stuff, nor do I care about it, I only care about Wikipedia itself. Surely I'm not the only person who feels this way; anyone reading this article is going to see all the largesse that WMF is spending on, and many are going to question these donation pleas, which likely means donations are going to fall.
I once got my boss to admit that they didn't trust people to do actual work from home, and that's why they didn't allow it. It was oddly satisfying.

These days I can work from home when I want, but I don't because it stresses me out not to have a clear separation between home and work.

Investor Upset Market Not Rational
Even then, I have a feeling that people jump too quickly from a "messy monolith" to microservices.

Instead, people should start splitting up the monolith into sensible modules and libraries. Instead of a "user accounts microservice", start with a "user accounts library" with a well-documented API that stays in the main codebase and is deployed as part of the rest of the app.
Right, but for an aspiring web programmer, it's a great learning exercise. By hiding all of the magic, it makes it much easier to understand what's actually going on and fully "get" web programming.
Accused of mismanagement, California's tax collection agency 'indisarray'
Original HN thread from 2 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10153132
People text instead of calling and especially instead of leaving voicemail. Just asking one question seems rude via phone so the conversation is buffered with "hi, what's going on, how's the weather, how about them lakers, while I have you, what do you think about this, etc."

Phone calls are less information dense to many developers to something like slack, especially if you need to send a link, a document, etc.

Slack is also async in that I don't have to immediately answer. I can get to a nice commit point in 5 or so minutes and not have to stop in the middle of a deep thought.

If it's a scheduled call once a week though, that shouldn't matter at all. Maybe they just don't like you :D j/k. A lot of devs think they communicate as well via voice
I frankly have no idea what you are talking about. You are making wild assumptions that monolith are better just because...

It will all come down the the experience of the team, esp. the leadership - the managers, the leads.

Because that's what the GTD mantra says? "If it takes less than 5 minutes, just do it immediately"

Actually new technology IS forced on others-see the countless peoples killed by weapons of war. They didn't choose to get bombed out by a GPS guided missile, did they?

What about the people killed after the atomic bomb killings? Technology is forced on everyone. Things we thought were convenient (cars, ships, the ICE, fossil fuels) may now plunge the planet into chaos and cause immense damage to our environment. Many people who have never had the choice of owning a car are now suffering from droughts and famine because of fossil fuel burning. It's naive to say technology isn't forced. It is, and always will be.

Again, easy for us to say in the west, especially the US. We've seen a lot of the good, but we too have seen the bad. It's typically neutral.

Technology is not universally beneficial. You can go back maybe to the first group of humans who used a fire to survive a cold spell but since then, there has been destructive and constructive technology.
