If they're interested in taking on the counterparty risk they could do this, but when the mempool is flooded you can replace pending transactions with new transactions with a higher fee (called "Replace by Fee").
Our cable provider has such an initiative. You can opt-in to open your internet connection (separate bandwidth of iirc 2Mbit and separate network) for other customers. You can only use it, when you share as well.

It is sometimes nice if a neighbor has it open and your own modem is not working properly. Also neat, I could use it in two countries so far (Poland & Switzerland)

The initial outcry of users was quite high, as of course nobody wanted to lose bandwidth and have other on "their" network.

The traditional financial system carries out trillions of transactions which are not money laundering, yet is required to jump through enormous amounts of red tape to prove its customers are not money launderers, and companies still get into trouble with regulators if they're not satisfied with their AML policies.

A new payment processor advertising the ability to accept completely anonymous transactions as a key benefit over the traditional ecosystem is going to attract a much higher ratio of money laundering to legitimate merchant accounts, and even without that, marketing Lack-of-AML-as-a-Service is sort of thing that gets regulators interested in shutting you down...
There are lots of standards I'm sure, but one problem with WiFi is the implementations are usually complete crap. With 3G/4G stuff, at least the operators have some minimum QA standards that force the manufacturers to up their game, but for WiFi anything goes.
People should protest instead of tweet. It's more effective. I think a lot of groups are also trying to get their voice heard and understood. I think the essay style (that PG used) is a good one and maybe the speech format.
LibreOffice 6.0: The stats so far
The KYC/AML regulations require essentially 1:1 human effort for every new person who attempts to buy any practical amount of cryptocurrency (within the US and EU, and probably elsewhere).

So the #1 problem is that people who want to buy some cryptocurrency cannot. They wait days or weeks to get verified. And the exchanges and money changers want to provide the virtual currency to the hungry customers, but they cannot afford to hire enough people to process all the verification applications.

Given this extreme bottleneck, I don't see the significance of news about how much easier it is for people to spend virtual currency.

Ironically, Coinbase is one of the most complained about in terms of slow verifications.

Well, this is all guilt by association at best.
Totally agree, some boys (like myself some years ago) learn that they must behave in certain ways, they learn that rough playing is not how a "good boy" behaves, so they are raised believing that they shouldn't be too "rough" in order to be accepted, you should not rise your voice, you should always listen, you must be nice all the time, then you grow up and have a difficult time socializing in high school, then you think how unfair is the world, why the "bad guys" get all the attention even from teachers who are supposed to repeal those behaviors, then you spend your twenties fighting those nice guy impulses, until you learn that you shouldn't care that much, and stop thinking too much about it, then you learn to just be yourself, and start putting yourself first, it takes a long time to realize this stuff by oneself.
Constantinople was just one city though. Antioch, Edessa, Trebizond were all major Greek cities which were conquered by the Turks.

>Clearly people building simple crud websites with slick JS features didn’t agree

I doubt it's that they didn't agree, it's more likely that the thought simply never occurred to them.

Mongo's marketing is directed with laser like focus on the beginner developer seeking out tutorials to build a website, etc. Questions about data consistency simply never arise in that context.

Later on that developer who was gently guided towards using mongo by all of the slick marketing will likely try to defend their decision when somebody attacks it ("their data consistency problems aren't that bad" or "data consistency isn't that important"), but that's something else.
Windows Store has been surprisingly fragile for me. I've bought a couple of games through it and things like turning off IPv6 will cause it to fail to download anything and spit out cryptic error codes.

But mostly I don't want my games spread across a dozen different storefronts. Keeping them all in once place is more convenient. I would probably be more open to the Windows Store if I owned an XBox and there was some kind of integration, but I don't.
Oh I see. Yes, I don't think SELinux could do exactly the scenario you decide because the things you're mentioning don't exist at the OS level. If you can figure out a way to make them something SELinux can get a context onto then it would be possible.
No, it doesn’t work for that use-case. It would all need to happen within a single service in a single invocation.

To enable transactions across network boundaries, you need to enable the transactional safety at the application/API level.

And, for the record, one service per table is a terrible idea. It would have none of the benefits of a service-oriented architecture, while adding all the complexity and caveats of a distributed architecture.

I understood that.

But as I said, it's a misunderstanding. I am not thinking about a generalization. I am thinking about a site that lists apartments with a view. That's it. I wonder if that has enough merits to become a startup.
On projects I alone maintain I prefer to only unit test the primary API. That usually gives me the information I need to triangulate issues and I move too slowly otherwise.

> As more critical functionality in cars comes to be controlled by MCU/CPUs and software over ECUs and mechanical components, I wonder if software obsolescence will have a larger impact than potential chip failure from increased use.

I don't really see that. Once the software's out there and works, it'll work even if it isn't updated with the latest feature set. I can't really imagine the government changing self-driving car standards so fast that a non-updated car could not operate safely and would have to be retired.

Any broken "cloud server dependence" would probably cause so much weeping and gnashing of teeth that Tesla would be foolish to try it, and again, I doubt the government would allow it for safety reasons.
It’s pure speculation but if instead of sacking Constantinople and killing all of those people West made an alliance with East, Byzantine Empire could have survived, albeit losing substantial territories in the East. The situation of Eastern Romans was bad with them losing a lot of their eastern provinces but they still had some fight left in them.

Indeed it is. This is a widespread practice:

What comes to my mind is the Chinese milk & baby formula "sweetener" (melamine) incident from 2008 with 300,000 victims. 54,000 babies hospitalized! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal

Related: it was also in pet foods. 1 dog and 9 cats died during "taste test trials" and Petco pulled chinese-sourced products due to 1000 pet deaths. https://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/RecallsWit...
it was also implicated in farm animal feed and fish food.
https://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/RecallsWit...

yet almost ten years later, Petco once again pulled pet treat due to contamination!
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/01/06/pet-s...

And if they aren't adding poison, the wikipedia article links to a prior incident where 12 babies died from malnutrition, due to watered-down baby formula.

Such callous disregard for life (human and animal) is beyond comprehension.

What's the Unicode codepoint of the character? Is it a single Unicode codepoint or multiple? (I tried to search for info on the web, but Chrome kept crashing.)

Supposedly it's a normal Telugu character, but how could that have gotten past even minimal testing in Hyderabad? Or is it some strange combining corner case? Telugu script is kind of unusual in Unicode, since it is syllabic but has separate codepoints for vowels and consonants, so character rendering is done by combining a vowel and consonant character into a totally different character. (Apologies for probably oversimplifying and mangling that explanation.) This is unlike Japanese katakana and hiragana, which have separate Unicode code points for each syllable so rendering is straightforward.

>You are not paid by the value you create, but by supply/demand for the position.

The labor market isn't the greatest place to talk about market forces. Companies do everything they legally (and illegally to an extent) can to ensure that it's not an efficient market. Further, companies have all the power in the relationship: most of us must have work but a company doesn't absolutely have to hire someone. I saw a 4-person startup on this site say they'd been looking for a "rockstar" for 2 years to expand their company. They were willing and able to wait 2 years for a highly skilled person willing to take a low enough salary. Not many people can wait 2 years to get a job.

To see what a real labor market would look like, you need to address the power balance. So I think sports teams are a better representation because they have unions to address this issue. And they do capture more of the value they produce (not all of it, obviously).

>And your second statement is not true. You simply get cheaper workforce in other countries. Even on senior levels.

Oh, I had assumed you meant the typical outsourcing locations. If you mean places like Europe, yes you can get good senior people for lower rates there. But it's a percentage lower, not X times lower, you can't get a truly senior level person on e.g. 7k/yr. I'm sure there's someone somewhere that has, but they'd have done better to buy a lottery ticket with that luck.
I'd stop short of knowing or caring whether their respective ideas suck or not, because getting back to the first point, it's really not so all-fired, gull-darned important what a guy thinks who's being quoted mainly because he's rich (or some other variant of a cult of personality). Take me, add a billion dollars, and boom: instant quotable thought-leader and visionary whose every tantrum and brain-fart is broadcast for all. Elon Musk goes in that box as well.

Besides which, you can move wherever you want. It's not like you have to turn in your Silicon Valley membership card and secret key. And there's a big world out there. Especially if you're rich. Just move, don't try to make a "statement."
When I saw the AMP for email announcement I was not excited, but I did not get the online dread until I read this post.

The immutability of my email has saved me so many times. I also have this feeling (which may be unfounded) that emails are "proof" of something when I get into a dispute. If my email can change or rot underneath me, I will have to change the entire way I operate online.

I like AMP websites (at a basic level they're fast and that's all I care about) but I have no interest in AMP email. I hope I can opt-out of it.
You're not wrong, and yet ... as someone who would visibly be considered an african american, I have to watch what I say around my leftie friends. God forbid I should fail their intellectual purity tests. Fuck it!

I was at a club, and the first thing a brown woman said to me was "I had to get out of that room -- it was too white in there!". These bullies are just replacing one in-group with another. The root problem is tribalism and groupism, and only individuality, not a re-slicing of identities solves that.

Is this about revenge, or is it about equity?
What's your source on that?
I don't quite buy into the public utility thing. Any Google product has competitors. The reason people use Google products is because Google advertises its new products on its products people already use massively. I don't think people actually see it as a public utility and are unaware of the competition. When you're in use-case A and suddenly you have a link from the same service to subscribe to use-case B, there's some effort required if you want to study the alternatives, and people prefer the easy way. Google crawls its way from one oligopoly to another this way.

Project management at a low
level (small/agile team) is pure micro management. Why? Because devs end up reporting to a PM everyday. It depends on the company and the setup, but I’d say most of the time a project within an organization has more power than a team. So a PM can do a lot of damage. Projects are created at a very high level, if you’re a manager you’d actually enjoy having a PM. It’s a good way to know your reports are under “surveillance”. Which is very bad, but I see a lot managers doing that. Though, project management at high level is crutial for a company and a large project.

So to answer your question, I believe that the next evolution of project management is no project management. At least at a small scale. A tech lead could be a scrum master reporting to an engineering manager, hosting standups, working closely with a Product Manager (not a project manager) who creates the backlog and a timeline. The engineering manager updates the upper management. I believe adding a PM in the mix would only add more micro management. No project managemers is the future.

Qualcomm figured out that they make more money by patenting everything they can think of in 4G/5G and collecting that from everyone instead of selling their own hardware to a handful of operators who adopt their closed standard, so CDMA is dead (their "CDMA 4G" was never adopted by anyone, everything worldwide is LTE/"GSM 4G")
I wouldn't be so quick to call Unicode characters a "fixed set", because of the way that they can be arbitrarily composed from multiple codepoints. If you've encountered zalgo-text, for example, you've encountered characters made from a base letter and like 20 combining codepoints. Enumerating all of the possible characters is infeasible.

To be specific, here are the codepoints in the character from Pastebin:

U+0C1C [Lo] TELUGU LETTER JA
U+0C4D [Mn] TELUGU SIGN VIRAMA
U+0C1E [Lo] TELUGU LETTER NYA
U+200C [Cf] ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER
U+0C3E [Mn] TELUGU VOWEL SIGN AA

I don't know if the ZWNJ is in there to make the bug happen or to neutralize it. But the entire group of five codepoints renders and selects as one character for me (in Chrome on Ubuntu).
Info about Quillette (the source of this article):

https://theoutline.com/post/2307/quillette-claire-lehmann-co...

Conservatives love playing the victim
The website Quillette is trying to convince people conservatism is subversive.

Unsurprisingly, Quillette has become a hub for reactionary thought. The website, which started publishing in 2015 and is funded by a modest Patreon account,

The best way to get a sense of the typical Quillette reader is by perusing the comments section under any essay, especially those about feminism and the leftist threat to western civilization. Quillette’s readers see themselves as inheritors of the western tradition of dispassionate, boring debate instead of what they likely are: people trying to kill time at work by sounding off in the comments. They hate “leftist identitarians” and “corrosive marxists” who ruin this dispassionate, boring debate by deigning to have an emotional stake in the subjects they study.

It's also important to keep in mind that 90% of hard science professors lean liberal (PKrugman, paraphrased: because those whose jobs involve evaluating facts tend to reject propaganda). And that US conservatives have a propaganda agenda to attack universities:

https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2017/12/a-hist...

Yet the trope of portraying American universities as a threat to society emerged with particular intensity in the 1970s and ‘80s. Neoconservatives including the journalist Irving Kristol and the philosopher Allan Bloom developed a discourse around what they saw as the moral laxity and corrosiveness of the 1960s counterculture.

In other words, when it comes to America’s colleges and universities, conservative anxiety is best expressed as being about a small set of marquee positions of honor and prestige in the liberal arts that happen to be largely staffed at present by those whose political commitments lean left

There still would've been a bloodbath because chemical engineers aren't EEs/SEs. All the Kodak scientists/engineers/factory workers who were designing and making film would not have immediately pivoted to digital camera design and software development.

The "camera design" portion of kodak isn't where the primary bloodbath happened. The bloodbath happened when film died.

In other words, kodak the company may have thrived, but only by shedding huge portions of its workforce and retooling.

I guess if all you care about is stock value, then sure, Kodak could've pulled it off. But for the folks on the ground, the bloodbath would've happened either way.
