> Often yes, people do starting adding queues, materialised views to CQRS which can make it complicated.

You don't say?? You don't say??

Sorry to be flip, I hope you can tell that I've been burned. Badly. Thanks for your detailed response. You obviously care and are not a stupid person nor do you come off sounding vain.

But, you're not selling me on CQRS at all. What you've described is just classifications and organization for types in a sane sounding UI design that happen to have similar roles as types in a CQRS system.

If you were selling me on CQRS, you'd start by talking about data flow. Something like, "it's a realtime, live multiuser system where all commands are queued, transformed to system events, and those events are committed to log (via another queue, we have to synchronize after all) that stretches back into time. We can replay those events, rewind time, events are merged ..." And it goes on and on into the stratosphere of architecture astronaut-hood...

My problem with your response is I honestly can't trust what you say here until I do a code review. Is your actual code pathological, or are you whitewashing the constant twizzling and niggling you have to do to keep your ship afloat? How bad, honestly, do you have to work to add a new feature? What's your velocity like? I want to see how much work and layers there are in your code to do data type transformation.

Data transformation is where El Diablo lives, because data transformation requires lots of people to agree and business terms to meet code - it's the unholy marriage of garbage disposal, forest fire, and whirlwind. CQRS seems to invite needless data transforms that other architectures do not require, and that's the pukey taste in my mouth when I have discussions about CQRS.
Yes this one is especially forced. The bill itself is very reasonable though, and not so strict as to discourage development.

It's very refreshing to see a reasonable, important, bipartisan bill that passed out of committee unanimously. There's more information here: https://energycommerce.house.gov/selfdrive/

This article describes how employer-sponsored healthcare started, but it avoids the reasons why it continued. And the reason Truman didn't get support for his universal healthcare plan was the "S" word: "socialism".

From http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/november-19-1945-harry-t... (first link I found, it's documented numerous places):
"Almost as soon as the reinvigorated bill was announced, the once-powerful American Medical Association (AMA) capitalized on the nation’s paranoia over the threat of Communism and, despite Truman’s assertions to the contrary, attacked the bill as “socialized medicine."

Never mind that Mussolini's brand of socialism might be just a tad different than the kind that gives you socialized medicine, but one need merely utter the word to get those knees a-jerkin'.

Facebook could do something about this if it wanted to. Its entire business rests on identity verification / personal identity. It has more data on logged in IP ranges than anyone else on the planet, bar Google. Is anyone really suggesting that it doesn't have the resources to identify and mass ban fakers? If they can't solve this problem, it's because they don't want to solve it.

I like the simplicity provided by scoped CSS, and I tend to name classes in a way that essentially accomplishes scoping. However, there's this nagging feeling at the back of my mind that if every component in your app has its own stylesheet, your style is maybe not consistent? It just seems like the ideal website with a consistent and good UI design should be able to have a single stylesheet (probably written in Stylus/SASS). I don't know if this ever happens in practice, but it's just something I think about.

Less on-topic, I feel like the title of this article is wrong: you're not "Just Writing CSS" if you're writing scoped CSS, which requires some sort of build system.
Fantastic news! I just used Riak Core for making a multi-master service. It was impressively straightforward! Glad to hear there are people intents to continue the project as OSS.

Here's how I generally deal with CSS:

* As the author of that article was talking about, I keep as much CSS scoped to the component level as possible.

* Any layout-oriented styling(how a component is positioned and sized on a given page) is separated into its own style sheet per page. That way how a page is laid out is separated from how a particular component looks & behaves.

* To deal with the lack of container/element queries, a big roadblock in making components truly reusable, a component style sheet exposes Sass mixins that represent how the component looks at different sizes. The layout CSS for a given page, as mentioned in the last bullet point, includes these mixins at different media query breakpoints. The advantage to this is that the layout can manipulate a component at different breakpoints to create responsiveness without needing to have any knowledge of a component's internal workings.

An example of my third point is a component I'm currently working on right now called `incidents-grid`, which is merely a grid of items. The `components/incidents-grid.sass` stylesheet has mixins called `incidents-grid--xl`, `incidents-grid--lg`, `incidents-grid--med`, `incidents-grid--sm`, `incidents-grid--xs`. Other components follow the same convention. For my page, I have a `layout/index.sass` to deal with how I lay out my components on the page. At different media query breakpoints, I will include the incidents-grid mixins to change how the component looks at different sizes; at different sizes, this component may show or not show a thumbnail, or show smaller icons, or no icons, or omit some information. The layout can make these things appear/disapper at different screen sizes without a bunch of CSS specific to the component saying things like `.incidents-grid__thumbnail {display: none}`. Rather, my layout stylesheet can say something like `#l-index__incidents-grid { @include incidents-grid--sm }` in a media query to accomplish the same thing.

Granted, this can't be done with plain CSS without some JavaScript. But I've found being able to separate layout CSS from pure styling CSS, as well as abstracting the internal workings of components with mixins, to be a very sane approach.

Not that much. Most refugee camps have cell coverage and people there use btc as it's the only money they have access to.
So, as someone who currently has no background in web stuff, but is leaning that way, should I be paying a lot of attention to this, or put it on the shelf for now? How does this fit in or compare to Less or Sass?

How do you figure an "axon contributes one FLOP" if it's spiking? Seems to me a _spike train_ (that is, a long series of activations) would be equivalent to a floating point operation, not a single spike.

No, it's not. It happens every time you call a method on the referent (well, OK, this is technically not a reference, but it doesn't matter to the argument).
> I don't understand why you say "saving accounts won't be affected", as savings rates are ultimately tied to mortgage rates (the difference between the two gives the bank their profit).

They don't, that's why. In contrast variable mortgages and credit card rates are explicitly tied to the prime rate.

Not at levels A-D, which are the ones where the faults "should not be there" (citing the parent comment).

At level E you only have to prove that there's no effects of faults on safety-critical systems, so it's more about the surrounding architecture than the software itself.

"the difference between the two gives the bank their profit"

I don't think this is true. Banks don't lean the money from the deposits.

About, why banks shouldn't increase saving accounts interest, the answer is, of course, profit. They would avoid that so much as possible.
They are but they are trying to adapt. .NET core is an extremely aggressive way for them to attract the new generation.

It's funny because the new generations still use Windows to develop on and Linux to deploy to and no one is denying this. But Microsoft somehow is accepting this shift and is trying to bring its stack on Linux and also Linux on Windows.

I think Microsoft is smart,they really realized unlike Oracle and others that sometimes you cannot people force to use or do whatever you think is the best (looking at you Oracle,IBM,Apple) and literally giving people what they want is the best thing you can do to turn the tides.

You have the advantage of living in those countries and being able to immerse yourself in the language. In the US we have be more proactive about learning if we truly want to get fluent.

Someone always has to pay, and socialized healthcare just means that your neighbor has to pay for your poor lifestyle decisions.

Employer 'provided' healthcare is a voluntary, demand-driven benefit.

To re-purpose an earlier comment - socialism "sounds like slavery".
When you are saying "that is not necessarily a lesson that needs to be learned by those who are poor".... are you referring to my statement that "buying shiny things is less important than establishing an emergency fund"?

If so, we definitely disagree. Those are the people in most need of an emergency fund.

You mentioned safety nets earlier
> the development of safety nets for those all too common but expenses expenses

I would argue that a personal emergency fund is the first form of safety net that everyone should have.

It depends what the conclusion in question is, whether selection bias is a factor.

Does Olin produce / graduate founders at ~5 times the rate of Stanford? Yes - no bias.

Is the effect size due to self-selection? Likely at least partially.
So why not just use fiat? Coinbase used to offer this service, where you would 'auto-topup' your balance, but removed this because it was silly as it generated multiple tx's just to do what paying in fiat would achieve in the first place.

As time goes on, the notion that coffee or meals are suitable to be paid in bitcoin seems more absurd. You would no more pay for a meal with a gold bar than you would with a Krugerrand. It will be seen as decadent for all those pizzas, controlled substances and ransoms to have been paid in BTC -- a kings ransom for pizza?

Bitcoin will likely never be a general purpose payment network. Lightning MAY if it obtains support from legacy services like VISA and MASTERCARD. I suspect V/MC will be the lightning nodes with the most payment channel volume.

Bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency, and not all cryptocurrencies are based on a blockchain data-structure.

There are other currencies which are not-inflationary, trustless and decentralized, and many more currencies with various levels of those properties, some are more centralized and require trust in a few in various ways, and some are decentralized trust-less but still inflationary.

There is even cryptocurrencies which do not use Proof-of-Work, or Proof-of-Stake, or Proof-of-Anything - but still can reach consensus in open distributed network.

This is full of misunderstandings about monetary policy.

Currencies that are not designed to lose value over time can not be stable. Intrinsically worthless tokens engineered to have better than market risk adjusted, liquidity adjusted, real returns compared to real productive investment will always be unstable and fluctuate increasingly wildly as they get more popular. This is a result of physical limits of production. As people hoard worthless tokens, their price increases which causes more people to hoard them instead of investing in real businesses with real production capacity.

This eventually causes production capacity to drop. That's right, when enough people do it, token hoarding displaces investment in businesses and factories and lowers global production capacity. This means token hoarding causes a future drop in things available to buy with these tokens.

Eventually there will be people who want to buy real things with their stock of tokens. The tokens will be chasing fewer goods which means prices for stuff will rise (tokens will lose value). This might happen suddenly when people with large stockpiles of tokens notice that value is dropping and that there are tons of other tokens waiting on the sideline to make it drop even further. Hoarders might rush to get rid of their stockpile all at the same time before they're worthless which will cause their fall to worthlessness. This drop will bring the tokens closer to their natural intrinsic value of zero. The cycle can then start again, such is aggregate economics.

The 1920s and 1930s suffered from this type of production drop but with gold tied currencies instead of cryptocoins. It happened to a lesser extent in 2007 when western world central banks failed to keep inflation rates high enough.

It's important for the world's sake to not let deflationary currencies become too popular. When savings or financial promises are insufficiently tied to future production or to accumulation of real goods, there will be disappointment when many people try to exchange them for real stuff. That is true for crypto currencies as well as government currencies (that is why the system is designed to make banks invest people's money in real businesses and minimize the proportion of money that is stockpiled idly).

It's true that crypto currencies are currently not widely held enough to significantly affect the aggregate economy but speculation already keeps them volatile and the knowledge that as they get more popular, there will be more macroeconomic pressures towards volatility keeps the speculation wild and cryptocoins unstable.

Have to pick a bone here: dollars do not have value because they are "legal tender" -- see Zimbabwe hyperinflation [0]. Zimbabweans stopped valuing their national currency years before Zimbabwe recognized any other currencies as legal tender.

Dollars (and all fiat for that matter) have value because once upon a time paper money was tied to a specific weight of gold / silver stored in a bank vault. Over the past 100-ish years that link was slowly eroded until the point where there was no backing whatsoever. Inertia is the only thing keeping fiat currencies going, and it's not going to last forever now that alternatives (like cryptocurrency) exist and governments can't shut them down (like they did with the Liberty Dollar [1]).

After a couple more financial crises in the West and bank bailouts I suspect ALL governments will have limited power in this domain, people aren't going to let their savings be inflated into oblivion for the rest of eternity.
