The problem with that approach is that you have to define all your possible use-cases up front. If the web had stayed as a simple document format, it wouldn't even be worth talking about now.

A much more flexible and future-proof approach is a fully programmable environment without any declarative features at all. No HTML. No CSS. Just a clean API in a tight sandbox.

Honestly, no, I haven’t. But, in my opinion, the pros and cons of Bitcoin are similar to the pros and cons of any decentralized system:

Pros: as long as you are able to keep your private key a secret, no one can take your bitcoins from you; doesn’t require trust in party knowing what it’s doing

Cons: no one there to bail you out; poor throughput (currently around 10 transactions per second)

Most other pros/cons I can come up with depend on ones convictions regarding economic theory, so I only included the objectively true ones.
They may have had too many inteoverts already and needed to balance things out (though personally it’s hard to imagine giving a test like that any weight compared to actual interactions with a person).

I'd like to see less money in politics, either public funding or donations restricted to small individual donors, and I personally think a good candidate for higher office should have worked at least one shit job in their life. But the other extreme is equally absurd.

The President is literally the chief executive of an organization of millions of people. While some good old fashioned down-to-earth-ness is great for knowing what to do, if a Presidential candidate can't manage a large organization efficiently, pick competent subordinates and delegate authority effectively, they ain't never gonna get anything done as President.

The President is like the one race where a two year PR stint managing a few thousand people spread across all fifty states and a few territories is a good interview for the job.

> The fact that you can add instructions quickly is another problem, well, that and the lack of a standardized verification suite for the ISA so that software devs know that implementations are up to spec when they write code for them.

There is a formal specification of both the ISA and the memory model. There are 2 working groups extending the formal models to the standard extensions.

Plus these formal efforts there is also a working group defining a sweet of verification tests that you have to pass in order to be qualified RISC-V.

The standard profile defined for Linux that will primary be used in the server space is RV65GC and most processor in this space will probably not have non-standardised extensions. I would expect a server core to have maybe vector and crypto extensions.

Hardly. In my lifetime the UK government has privatised electricity, water, gas, telephones, British Aerospace, British Steel, British Petroleum, Rolls Royce, Rover, British Airways, railways, coal mining, and Royal Mail. Experiments have been made with roads, bridges, schools and hospitals.

Success of these has varied. The utilities make a big profit while people struggle to pay utility bills: https://www.ft.com/content/ef488dc0-9168-11e7-a9e6-11d2f0ebb...

BAe and BA are still in business. British Steel were owned by Tata for years and the few remaining sites are now spun off and trading under the original name. BP are making a profit except when they spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The railways are a mess. Rover were looted by their directors who narrowly escaped jail.

The restaurant market is notoriously fickle with considerable risk of ruin. Between opening a restaurant and building its clientele is a lot of uncertainty. It’s easy to look at the surviving restaurants and think that anyone could make a comfortable living at it. The economist must consider both the seen and the unseen — of which the latter in this case is all the restaurants that started and failed.

It's almost certainly a good idea to have a few such people in a reasonably sized group because they will be able to challenge the 'we do it this way because we have always done it this way' mentality that eventually takes over most long lasting groups of any kind.

A well made GUI conveys those semantics more clearly than the default command line interface. Automation is easier from the CLI, but I wouldn't be surprised if a GUI turned out to be best for manual interactions.

Except that pyramid schemes are usually designed from the start as such.

Bitcoin wasn't: it was designed in good faith as a cryptocurrency. That people ended up using it as a speculative device says more about these people than the actual technology.

Also pyramid schemes are usually run by few people that cash out when it is no longer sustainable. Once it is so, it's over, as it usually the scheme gets exposed and owners lose all credibility. Bitcoin on the other hand went already through several "crises", and came out even stronger.

Also, in the case of Bitcoins, as more people buy them, and original owners cash out, the amount of actual owners dilute, so that the possibility of a few people dictating huge movements in price lessens over time.

Calling it a pyramid scheme it is an oversimplification, although on the surface it shares many traits with them: I don't think many people can predict how it will turn out.
Pros and cons compared to what?

There should be plenty out there. Handling failure is one of the main selling points of the Erlang/OTP ecosystem.

A big part of the difference it that in a typical web application in most other languages, you'll think of your system in two parts: web and background.

With an Elixir/Erlang you tend to think of the web as just one interface to the application itself. The idea of background jobs in those contexts somewhat goes out the window when you have an environment where spinning up millions of processes at the same time is the expectation and not a terrifying scaling scenario.

Think of responding to an incoming web request as just another job, essentially.

Because everything is just message passing and there is no global state, the restart just looks like a function call. The supervisor will start a new process calling the function with the arguments that were passed to it when it was created.

Here's an example that will try to explain things.

Another way of bridging the gap in that white map is through data gossip: the person who leaves a village and comes back can bring data updates with them and share that with the village. Sneakernets in Cuba (as far as I know) work like that, but shouldn't be as fast as mesh gossip.

It's true the price is fueled by speculation, not Bitcoin's underlying usefulness, but there's no reason to believe it's a pyramid or ponzi scheme.

It's entirely possible that, at least some of, the price is being boosted by mechanisms that would be illegal in other, regulated, markets. But it's not clear, at least to me, how much of an issue that is either legally or practically.
The Git GUI that ships with git is very good. It also shows how Git thinks (workspace/staging/commit) that most other gui's struggle with (they try to make it look more like a SVN workflow). For diffs and blame I use TortioseGit. I also extensively use the CLI for most branch actions.
Agreed. Best git interface I have ever used.
Content-addressed overlay networks work pretty well over the Internet, and they could work equally well on mesh networks (as the article posits), if not two rather awkward problems: storage at rest, and liveliness of a storage node.

These two factors even interact to make the situation worse. Because at any point, nodes can drop off and you never know if this condition is temporary or permanent, a distributed datastore has to redundantly store everything. This needs much more space than just storing everything at its origin, as is done in location-addressed networks like Web.

These are not insurmountable problems, of course; it's just that right now, conditions like storage on nodes, link asymmetry, traffic distribution asymmetry still favor centralization.

And fundamentally, the operators of individual nodes (i.e. ordinary people) are often not very selfless, and not enough of them contribute to the health of the mesh even if they discretionarily choose the mesh: seeding ratios on BitTorrent networks that are not user-adjustable (e.g. old World of Warcraft downloader, Facebook patchsets) are much, much higher than seed ratios where the peer can bow out at any time, despite all of latter users choosing BitTorrent voluntarily.
You're mistaken. The difficulty would re-calibrate and it's business as usual.

However, if China or some other government compelled miners to sign invalid transactions, this would have a big impact. This is a weakness of proof-of-work secured coins (note that they also have many strengths that proof-of-stake coins lack).

EDIT: I was unclear what I meant by "this is a weakness of PoW" -- the energy signature of concentrated mining operations make them easy for governments to find.
China is responsible for the largest theft and transfer of wealth in the history of the world. They have stolen trade secrets, ignored IP and copied everything they possibly could and can all at the expense of Western Tax Payers who funded a century of research and development.

All Western companies with offices and factories in China have been compromised. From their financial records to trade secrets, all have been stolen by the Chinese.

In the late 90's my employer (leading technology company) implemented an IDS. We were stunned at the amount of internal attack activity aimed at our Accounting, HR and Research areas of the company all coming from our Chinese office and Factory.

Yeah, I would guess that the parent commenter has a heavily graphical workflow based out of a big honking IDE like IntelliJ. For people doing development in a console anyway, it would take more time to start a git GUI and wait for it to launch than to be done committing and pushing from the CLI.
I use both - to me the big advantage of getting used to GIT CLI is that you learn the tools to handle uncommon operations and automate tasks, which the GUI doesn't give you. When you need to start piping stuff through grep, for example.

Why do they compare it to model X and not model 3; is it because its specs are simular to model X? Doesn’t look like a van or SUV at all.

Comparing these two, the ES8 is bit blockier like the current set of crossovers. Whereas the Model X has the body shaping of a really big sedan. Neither have the 100% of the classic SUV look, but both have 5 seats and hatchback with a dedicated cargo area. Neither is like the Model 3, which is a sedan with a normal trunk.
