Just remember that all the message/transaction metadata is purged when the IOTA team makes a “snapshot”. One of my first evaluations of IOTA was to store IPFS URLs in transactions. Then came a snapshot and all the data was gone. This probably wouldn’t happen in a system with transaction fees.
Amount of 'newbie investors' in IOTA and their over-zealous defence in any medium is scary.

We've had Perl people, Python people, Ruby people and their arguments but none of those invested their money in languages' success. This blockchain programming zeal mixed with investors trying to hype their currency is annoying and mildly scary.
Could be interesting but the rate limiting kind of kills it, might try and set it up locally or come back later.
What we need is a central payment body that we can 'subscribe' to and then select the websites with paywalls we want access to.

Then its a) easy to manage your budget as it's one payment per month/six/yearly, and b) reduces reader friction, as a SAML/oAuth type logon can be performed when you click through the paywall notice on your selected news sites.

All that needs to happen is for someone to stand up and be the payment body, and for a critical mass of news sites to sign up.

Doesn't seem that hard really.
I would not consider in poor engineering judgement. It is a judgement yes. By using binary, you don't need conversion but lose computational power. By using ternary, you lose thru conversion but gain computational power.

In the end of the day, you have to choose as a dev.

So to your point, I don't consider it a red flag. You can even interpret it as "thinking outside the box". Yes ternary is more complex, that's what the devs are here for.
Every time I read about Perelman and the Poincare conjecture, I feel compelled to link this excellent piece from the New Yorker:

I think LOC probably works OK as a very crude metric until you start to measure it. Once you start to measure it all hell breaks loose. If you measure me on lines of code, well I can get you lots of lines to code. No problem at all...
Thanks for this warning, I didn’t realise software support was such an issue.
If you just look at the signals as "a little red light that tells the driver to stop", then its not that complex.

However in the rail world signals encompasses much more than that red light. There's sensors on the track which detect when a train enters a section of the line and when it leaves, and on modern systems there's communication with the train itself to force the brakes on if the driver runs a red light, making it near impossible to enter a section with a train already in it.

All those parts need to communicate with each other, and they need to be ridiculously reliable, and capable of self-reporting when they fail, because in the worst case a failure in any one of those components results in a few hundred people dying in a dark underground tunnel.
> most of your average software jobs really aren't that hard, and decades of experience don't really gain you as much as you'd think.

This I agree with strongly, and it's yet another reason why younger people, especially those who just learned to code, could be more liked by companies - they still get excited! Whatever turd you'll present them with, they'll think you're giving them truffles. Experienced people know that most dev jobs are just boring rehash of the same bullshit everyone else does.

"Losing passporting rights" is just a bureaucratic and obfuscated way of saying "ban". You say tomato, I say tomahto. Obviously all such bans are implemented via the granting or revocation of various kinds of license.

The reality is that nothing about finance or flying will have changed on exit day+1. What will have changed is the UK's obedience to the EU's power structures. The EU has stated flat out it will refuse to come to some new agreement in these areas: it would rather impose trading bans.

And these ARE bans. You are trying to wriggle out of this, it is a form of psychological denial. You will find that the EU forbids you from making trades with these firms. They could easily continue to allow them - certainly the UK is willing to cooperate on finding alternative deals and compromises - but they choose not to because of their own over-arching political agenda.

Obviously EU competitors will step in immediately and eat the UK's lunch, wherever they find the opportunity.

Ah yes. Like how the USSR experienced a flourishing ecosystem of strong competitors to western firms due to the iron curtain.

I think the EU "competitors" would have done that if they could have done already. They have failed to do so. Having been outcompeted, they now hope for their competition to be banned.

Pathetic, really.

I’m a little shocked it costs $20 ($10 to send and $10 to receive, and I’m unclear why the receiver seems to cop both fees) to send $2000 from a Canadian bank, to another Canadian bank. That seems absurd. I don’t recall ever being charged for a domestic bank transfer in Australia (I believe the fee is 50c but a free quota is received each month).

Agreed, paywalls are a win-win because it has the potential to remove the chains of clickbait and pulp. Except that "a cup of coffee" is a US-centric term which doesn't apply everywhere in the world. Not everyone in the world (or even the US) can afford to spend those few USD a month on a news outlet. And if they, they can only afford to buy so many cups of coffee. So a lot of people who can't afford won't resort to it. Except, perhaps, in their native languages.

I have plenty of private email discussions and transcripts from calls with 2 of the IOTA guys from when they started out. All I say at this stage is that they have been engaging in pump+dump. The situation with their "fake" partners was carefully designed to help with that.
Yes, but both of these viewpoints are important, depending on the context.
Software isn't like architecture or carpentry.

First, software engineering and programming are fields with way more skill diversity, which is a nice way of saying that there are a lot of relatively incompetent people in the industry. The assumption that people with experience are more skilled isn't generally true. I've seen people hired for the role of CTO in small startups who were explicitly chosen for their age because it somehow meant that they got more experience, except that they weren't as good as the graduate.

Second, software isn't as critical as other fields because users don't care (or are trained not to care). Your iPhone calculator not working isn't the same as your room's window not closing. Most companies don't really search talent. They just want to hire cheap "talented enough".

In the specific case of Facebook, Amazon, etc, the hiring process is focused on algorithmic and stuff like that a recent grade is simply more likely to get since it's still fresh.
Your analysis seems very reasonable, but John McAfree thinks it will go to $1 million. And the reason I think it's not impossible is that only a very small percent of the float is actively traded, so the total market cap really doesn't matter that much.

The higher it goes the less the people invested in it need to sell at all, because they don't have anything better to do with the money.
On it owns, isolated, it is likely not enough to find a company guilty of discrimination, however it can be used as part of a pattern of behavior to prove discrimination if other actions, inaction's, or behaviors are found to be present at the company

"not carrying them would mean that there's no more free market and no competition in the field. Any new (or existing) player couldn't enter the market no matter how good their product is."

Um, go to the Apple website and order it or Walmart.com/Jet.com? If Amazon started purchasing or shutting down all other retailers, then it would be a monopoly. Simply being more successful than them doesn't make it so.

I take it you've never been any significant amount of time in Copenhagen. There a bicycles for transporting children that are made to transport up to two children, usually up to 3-4 years old, after that they can cycle themselves so I've never heard about it being an issue because the eldest will usually be old enough to cycle.

edit: I guess you could increase that to 3 children if you attach a bike trailer, but those aren't very popular here.
Is that so? What do you mean? This is the first time I've heard anyone say that.
It's not an increase in CO2 concentration. It's a decrease in O2 concentration. Humans can't actually sense low O2 levels, but instead only high CO2 levels.
With 20+$ transaction fees nobody is using Bitcoin for day to day expenses.

Haha, that's great! I would have loved to hang out in that bar. I think I know which one. Thick As A Brick. I love that album. It comes in one single piece (actually two: SideA and SideB).

It's very easy to not read the article, isn't it? Then drop in a sweeping generalisation that says it's completely fine to have a murderer write your filesystems.
What I've found having to use serverless is the local development tools are broken. You'll find cloudformation is the only way to reliable manage all the proprietary paid for services which will require you to read several documentation on various tools (kinesis, dynamodb stream or fifo, standard queues) to work out which one might work. To find out it doesn't necessarily work in your applied function (CloudWatch Insufficient Alarms I'm looking at you). So you then have a choice to use cloudformation and another deployment tool to push your services. This is more typical after you've given up trying to manage dynamodb-local across platforms for your codebase.
I suspect the answer is not, in fact, that simple.
Write short papers by writing more directly, and practice this by writing directly in articles, social media posts, etc.

For this article, I would drop the leading 5½ paragraphs.

> "He's too old." And one recruiter literally told him that.

How old is he?
There's also a rather absurd amount of energy burned up on the mining and transactions.
It's about costs.

If you are a large company and have robust processes in place, you don't need smart people with tons of experience. Such people are expensive.

You need average people who don't need to think too much for themselves and can follow directions and work hard.

The process is designed to compensate for mistakes and guide inexperienced workers.

Thinking in computer terms, the analogy goes like this. A long time ago, servers had to be very powerful and very reliable. Then came cloud computing and redundant architectures. Now, you plug in relatively cheap components into an architecture that can tolerate failure. You no longer buy high-availability components as the system can function around issues seamlessly.

>>Older people might be closer to having a family, which means less productivity, high cost (parental leave is very expensive*),

The Demo they were targeting is the age group (25 to 36 years old ) is when most people have their first child.

No very many people start a family when they are over 40, sure it happens but it is rare.

If parental leave was a concern than hiring people over 40 should be your priority as most people over 40 will have old children and not be taking parental leave.

People over 50 will likely have Collage aged or old children and need every very little time off for child related events (school events, illness, etc)

So discriminating against older workers because of children seems illogical

Just so you know, there is an entire world outside of SF and Mountain View... I know it is shocking but...

>>whereas younger people can cram into a room for a decade until that happens.

Why would you want to? I am in my mid 30;s now, even when I was in my early 20's I refused to have more than 1 roommate.

not OP, but microservices can cause you to have to spend a disproportionate amount of time writing glue code between services. Starting with microservices is often a case of implementing separation of concern at the network rather than the functional layer, which is IMO too high in the stack. Microservices should be extracted for performance reasons, not build from the start because they are trendy.
