1. Monero's transactions are private by default. In Dash it's optional (and slower).

2. Dash is basically a coin join, working like a Bitcoin mixer. This means you can still gather some information from the mix given enough analysis. It's different compared to Monero where you cannot tell which of the possible inputs is the right one. The security is based on probability and cryptography instead of obfuscation.

3. Monero hides both the addresses of the transaction and the amount. In Dash the transaction amount is open and analysis could correlate the obfuscated sending and receiving addresses.

4. The mixing in Dash is performed by "masternodes", a subset of all nodes, and if compromised they can break the privacy. Particularly scary after the recent Bitcoin mixer shutdown. Monero contains no such third party weakness.

All in all the anonymity of Dash is a joke compared to what Monero gives you.

How so ?
I am happy to get 1mb down on a good day. Libing in the mountains has its perks. But net access is not one of them. Most people only have access to dialup here, I got 'lucky' with a terribly provisioned dsl thanks to how close my home is to the highway and dslam.
Motivation comes from our survival instincts. While most robots right now are not subject to Darwinian forces, enterprises are, and one might argue that they are AIs in their own rights.

Economic demand also stems from survival instinct.

Companies are gradually being automated out of economic necessity. For some reasons I don't trust the market to keep on feeding billions of idle meat bags once they are not needed anymore for production.

Currently paying unemployed people prevents them from turning to crime and ensure that society as a whole can be productive. It may not make sense once the vast majority isn't productive anymore.

Humanity is the scaffold of the mechanic beast that's being built.

It's the distinction of outsider vs insider. Someone who actually runs a startup is better positioned to criticize the model. More than that, if everyone who started a startup were to follow his model, no one would care about startups because they wouldn't matter. But they do matter, and the reason why they matter is that they grow quickly.

Something needs to be done about China, they could end the situation in North Korea instantly by stopping trading with them. The fact they don't, combined with their aggression in the South China Sea is telling. Sanctions or tariffs should be placed, there are plenty of 3rd world countries with cheap labor.

There's the From Nand to Tetris [1] course which has a book. It skips a few steps though. I love Ben Eater's series because it is so thorough. Whenever I'm like "how did x work again" he explains it in detail. If you know most of it by heart it will be slow since it's meant to be able to follow with fairly little prior knowledge of digital electronics.

Well, I specified "IMHO". That's the main issue that I have with PHP.

I have no idea what they do at Facebook, and I don't have to work on the biggest community in the world that often.

The problems I encounter in term of performance for websites/apps are along the lines of pages being super-slow because of the 100 JavaScript frameworks we like to use nowadays for the smallest of projects, my clients uploading 10MB images that get resized via HTML and still load at full-resolution, etc.

As for coding yes—one issue I have is that not using PHP exclusively I get confused by the fact that the opposite of html_entity_decode is htmlentities and not html_entity_encode, and that slows me down for no apparent reason except the fact that 20 years ago one guy added htmlentities and another guy html_entity_decode, and no one thought about aliasing or deprecating one of the two to fix the unintuitive naming.

Go to Northern Canada. Right now you'll pay well over $100 for supposedly 5Mbps, but which is really only 1 or 2 at best.

I mostly agree with the grandiose self-delusion of modern valuations, but I guess it also depends on what kind of service you're providing. If there's a social element, i.e. you share things with others, "community", you might lose to faster moving companies who take your audience; and if there's an ecosystem involved, you might not reach the critical mass to sustain it.

Perhaps you're not in a critical mass sort of industry?
What should Serious Eats do about that? Include some fake ingredients like the fake streets included in maps?
If you think Apple has anything valuable enough for China to abandon its principle means of social and political control, I think you're sadly mistaken.
That's not what we're talking about though. What we're talking about is developing outside the bounds of battle-tested stacks.

We know that governments and secret services hoard exploits (from the Snowden leaks). But we should remain precise about what we know they had access to and what not, e.g. to investigate possible past breaches.

But saying 'this was an exploit that was possibly use by a government' without any proof does not contribute to the debate.

Probably common, but they seem to have asked for it. 3 years ago, they published a presentation on slideshare [1] where they explained they were migrating from a monolith to microservices. That could make sense for them, given their size, but they explained as well that "rails is for pet blogs" (in the content of the presentation) and that they will take the opportunity to use many different languages. As I mentioned in comments back then, this was due to cause problems (although, I did not imagine it would go as far as people rewriting others apps).

It's interesting that it's so expensive to get electric service these days.

I wonder how things actually looked in the heyday of the rural electrification board.

My parents live in rural Australia (similarly 40 miles to the nearest supermarket) so I have some idea but obviously it's very different geography and a different a situation - they have electric and a rotten phone line (certainly can't reach 56K), but get their internet through a rooftop antenna connecting to 3G.
That's good to hear - I think that's HSPA instead of original 3G. VividWireless wasn't an option?

> And paper co-author Paul Kirschner, an education researcher at the Open University of the Netherlands in Heerlen, happily describes himself in his academic work as a “windmill-fighter”. But whereas Don Quixote aimed against solid walls, the digital-native assumption, on closer inspection, does seem illusory. It is certainly no giant.

To fight windmills, as per the English idiom 'to tilt at windmills', means to attack non-existent enemies out of a delusional sense of righteousness (from the last bit is derived the word quixotic). In the stories Alonso Quijano read so many romantic novels about knights and chivalry he went insane, renamed himself Don Quixote, and set off to vanquish windmills he imagined were giants and swear fealty to an innkeeper he imagined as a lord (for the honor of his lady love who doesn't actually exist).

This paper's authors being the Don Quixote figure doesn't make sense, as I doubt they were trying to insult themselves. A more apt analogy would be the companies trying to grapple with a new generation of digital natives are windmill fighters (fighting an enemy that doesn't exist), while the paper's authors are Sancho Panza desperately trying to get them to see reason.
Yes, we have problems.

But I would prefer an argumentation that does not place the 'artificiality' of modern farming at the fulcrum as there is no 'natural' farming. All farming is artificial -
an artifact of human culture. Farming is a thousands of years old biohack, of whose output we've improved over millenias. Using nitrogen fertilizer generated through Haber process to increase crop yelds is not in any way less 'natural' than manure.

Trace chemicals from e.g. pesticides that leak to all sorts of foodchains, including those where human partake - now, that's an issue.

It's also not very effective to speak of the general consumption of western lifestyle. We can't fix 'western lifestyle'. But, we can fix specific problems, one at a time. The problem needs some metric and the solution needs some predetermined metric to follow.

So, what's the first thing you would specifically fix?
Intent matters. If they promote it, and honestly believe in it, and want to cash out at an IPO, then it's just good old investing.

You don't have to think it's the best thing ever. Or that it'll surely work. But you can still think that it's a pretty decent investment, high risk, high expected payout.
There are people who say: "He should put his money where his mouth is". There are people who say: "Of course he says that, he's got skin in the game."

The article makes sense, that said I have two grandchildren that are five and three. They interact with ipads and phones like they're "normal" life. They talk to their Alexa's and Siri like they're people. They ask the TV to change channels and ask Mom why when they swipe the TV screen nothing happens.

My oldest grandson had the funniest argument with Siri, she kept saying I don't understand you and he would say "why you're talking to me just like I'm talking to you."

I agree we are still humans and no shocking net-new amazing multi-tasking or concentration skills will come out of the "digital generation". That said these kids are growing up on the shoulders of giants and will expect things to just work. If anything, that could make things harder because they may not want to learn how to make new things work.

All this said my grandmother lived through horse and buggy, radio, TV, Color TV, Computers and men on the moon. She used to say the more things change the more they stay the same. Because people are basically the same no matter when they were born.

Do you have a public example that illustrates how PHP/Hack code in Facebook looks like?

My problem with PHP is that most of modern frameworks seem to take a lot from Java, and people have started to use type hinting whenever they can, so the code looks like (uglier) Java, but without advantages of performance (being made worse by having to setup everything on every request) or compile time type safety.
When most people talk about digital natives, they aren't talking about learning styles.

The idea that you can dismiss the idea of digital natives just because people still learn differently is a little wacky. Digital natives imply familiarity and comfort with the digital technology they grew up with, not anything else.

On my 4-year-old Macbook Pro PHP 7.1 parses a 19Mb log file with the regex "\b\w{15}\b" 5 times faster than Python and Ruby. It's even 3 times faster than Perl which is hard to believe given Perl's insanely fast startup time.

Is it really because we're told that? I mean, in very practical terms, being rich and popular (within reason) will give you better life in almost every way. Mainly because it allows you to choose what kind of life you want to lead. Also in case of any life accidents, having contacts and money, you can make lots of them easier to deal with. Dominating others is the only one I'm not sure of.

On a global scale, I think that's a bad situation. On a family scale, being rich is close to the healthiest thing you can do.

Pretty sure that if repeated tests reveal aspects of the program to be deficient, the "how it was coded" will come out the proverbial wash.
I've literally experienced this exact gut reaction two times in the last couple of months at two different companies. Code that is working fine, might need a bug fix here and there, is deemed worthless and should be rewritten. These we're tiny dev team: 3, 4 people max, so it happens everywhere I guess.
I've also heard 1st hand stories and there have been multiple comments on HN regarding NASA.

The best I can tell is that the big difference in perception comes from people who worked on code for manned flights or anything that will interact with an actual human being vs non-manned and even non-mission critical code.

It seems that anything that will come close to a human is developed like it's the new arc of the covenant while for anything else it's YMMV based on the project and the team.

China has a fifth of the world's population, they would not be affected by sanctions and tariffs.
