Oh! I see, I apologise, I may have misinterpreted your question. Amatino would be applicable to someone who is building a project that needs double-entry bookkeeping to function. For example, they might be a fintech startup building an early invoice payment trading platform. Rather than building their own double-entry layer, they could leverage Amatino.

If double-entry accounting only exists in your project insofar as you need to account for your own business, then, as you say, Amatino would probably be an excessive solution creating unnecessary work.

Aside, on the topic of exchange rates - Amatino has built in daily exchange rates between each of 36 major currencies (You can also feed it your own, if you want more resolution / different units of account). It also automagically computes unrealised gains and losses.

Cars didn't replace walking, they replaced horses.

I think you are begging the question - are cars more dangerous than horses? Just from reading random history, it seems like a lot of famous people were killed by riding accidents. And even today when the vast majority of people don't ride horses, I bet you can name a famous person who had a terrible accident.

I think great art develops through a sort of evolutionary process. Everyone is influenced by the writer's they admire and so the good ideas get replicated. But good ideas by themselves aren't enough to attract an audience, so authors have to creatively combine and mutate those ideas. Harold Bloom called this the "anxiety of influence". The ideas they copy might be stolen, but the ways they combine those ideas might not be.

Indian addresses are some of the worst. (I grew up there, so I know).

The article lists some guidelines here => http://www.columbia.edu/~fdc/postal/#india

In reality though, people use all kinds of hints and landmarks in the address [1].

Example:

TACTV Arasu Sevai Center

O/o J.Er,No.88,Durgadevi Nagar,

6th Cross Street,Extension,

Behind ECI Matric Higher Secondary School,

Tondiarpet,

Chennai-81

People inject their own "Old this, old that", or "Next to Mari Amman Koil" ( Name of Temple / Landmark ) or "Behind this school / that landmark" etc.

Compounded by the fact that a lot of South Indian town names and district names are reeaaaalllly long and a lot of times, I run out of data entry space when making booking for my fam in India on online travel sites.

Ex: My cousins live in a town called Thillaiganganagar (17 chars). Another friend of my gramps lives in a place called thiruvananthapuram (18 chars)
Same for Home Equity lines of credit. I had a friend who was a banker, he had planned on using a $100K HELOC to remodel his house. He was stunned when Chase dropped his Line from $100K to $5K. Killed that remodel.

When I heard that, I maxed out my line of credit and stuck the money in a different bank. That choice got me through 2009. Glad I did it.

That article is about local school board elections, not state or national elections.
The issue is that the commonly accepted definition of diversity is always about having different gender, race and sexual orientation represented.

The important thing though is to achieve diversity of thought, which is a positive thing since it brings a larger set of creative ideas to the table.

In the SF Tech Bubble, people look diverse but they all think more or less in the same way as the "Culture" part of hiring will remove anyone not fitting in the same mold. Also as soon as ideas get out of the spectrum of acceptable ideas, people get shamed and learn to shut up or lose their job.

I think that the current conversation going on about diversity completely misses the point. It mainly became a good way for companies/CEO to demonstrate a morale high ground.
This isn't the SOMA I remember back in the day. Even if that estimate is accurate, "SOMA" was barely a thing. Now SOMA is literally south of market, and a 50% vacancy would be quite different.

Of course not. I go in, I vote, the vote is recorded electronically, and a piece of paper that only indicates who was voted for is spit out. No personally identifiable information.

It's not like this is hard. We were doing paper secret ballots for literally centuries before electronic voting machines came along.
"Uber went from zero to essentially killing off taxis, despite the fact that "a car is a car".

Primarily because they don't pay as much for their fleet as a taxi service does."

Uber (and possibly other similar companies) is a huge charity for passengers funded with investment money. It's definitely premature to declare they've demonstrated or accomplished anything before they operate on a sustainable basis. I do think using a credit card an app is far superior to the way taxi businesses are traditionally run, regardless of price, but I also don't see why traditional taxis can't adopt the mechanism eventually. At some point, the bubble will burst and capital will be scarcer for a while, and things will realign.

If you go to their website, it looks pretty threadbare. I don’t know where the budget will come from to purchase the standards once for pdf-ization. I am personally interested in ASTM mechanical standards. ASTM has a reading room where you promise not to print. But the ASTM reading room does not have a search capability limited to itself. ASTM searches revert to mostly (or all?) for-sale publications. This makes the reading room almost useless.

> decentralized tech

It seems to me that the problem you rightly pointed out could be approached and possibly solved by zooming in a bit and breaking the term "decentralized" into component parts. For example, at least two parts: 1) Those components of decentralization which do not lead to this problem and 2) those components which may lead to this problem.

This simple typology could then, with a bit of nudging, probably yield some new leverage points.

A question like, "what is the _most decentralized_ platform which does _not seem to have this problem_ and what are its characteristics" could also probably help.

We are just getting started with decentralization in many ways, so there may also be analogs in e.g. economics or even games/sports that could be overlaid to improve our optics.

(It'd be neat if we could be really persistent with our decentralization aims as a community and make visible, helpful progress against previous conceptions of the pitfalls)

The thing that's difficult in Ireland is internet access if you're living outside of Dublin. We looked at moving to Dingle for a bit, but we couldn't find anything available (from America) that had high speed internet. Granted, it was out in the countryside, so I completely understand, but it was a non-starter as far as going there for a remote job was. It's just something you have to keep in mind that if you're coming from an American city you may not think about.
Why your boss doesn’t praise you – And 9 ways to get the feedback you need
There are some specific reasons:

1. The US Fed has started a tightening cycle, and we've seen them repeatedly overshoot in the past, causing a correction or recession. Simply based on recent patterns, one might expect something to happen once short term rates get to, say, 4-5%.

2. The US President is demanding mutually exclusive things from the economy, fomenting trade wars, and attacking the independence of the Fed, which may have negative consequences.

3. The US stock market is valued more highly relative to normalized earnings than it is usually, or the rest of the world is now.

4. US Federal budget deficits are dramatically worsening. Republicans are only deficit hawks when there is a Democratic president. It's been so long since we've had real inflation that it could really shock people, and per point (2) the President appears to want low rates at the expense of inflation (at least today - who knows tomorrow).

I do light manufacturing in Arizona. In the last six months the prices of steel have basically doubled. My #1 material input now costs twice as much, and to add insult to injury, it is now becoming very hard to get in some cases.

Last week we were scrambling to find 1/4 steel plate. A common common material. Its as rare as finding bread in a supermarket, its one of those staples that you never expect to see shortages of. And last week we had a lot of trouble getting it.

I had dinner with tubing salesperson this week. He was complaining that all the fancy DOM and high strength thin wall was in short supply - and this is where most of his commission based pay comes from. We don't use that much DOM, but we have noticed the price doubled this year.

Another friend sells a machine which uses hydraulic parts. He can get all the hose he wants, but nobody has any fittings. His suppliers of hydraulic cylinders are all out of stock and not expecting shipments until November. One supplier told him that he laid off his whole staff since there was nothing to sell and he wasn't sure if he could cover rent let alone employees until November.

The tariffs have caused a two-fold reaction; industrial customers with money in the bank have purchased 6 months or a year worth of stuff instead of a months worth of stuff, while suppliers offshore have stopped shipping because they don't know what the price will be by the time it arrives in port. Since the deal is struck before the ship leaves, what happens if a 25% tariff is added? So they ship nothing and wait.

The actual tariff itself is not the main issue, it is the market forces reaction to it. No USA based suppliers can pick up the slack, and nobody I knew of was hedged against a sudden tariff being applied to their main inputs.

Blue collar workers will get laid off and the effects will ripple through the economy. This crash will be different from the last, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

I have no strategy other than avoiding new spending on machines and being very slow to add new hires. Your industry segment may vary tremendously, time will tell.

I am moving to a new factory this month, my electrician is harvesting all the conduit and panels, because they have gone up 130% this year he tells me. I am in fear of the invoice.
So audit those machines. It's still a small number.

If you want to make an argument about government incompetence then I'm usually right there with you but... It seems like you're trying to fight an unwinnable battle.

There seems to be a lot of not understanding SQL in the SQL criticism, and the design of the new language seems to have a lot of excess noise.

1. If arity-1 functions are as dominant in use as the examples suggest, mandatory named args are excessive noise.

2. From the examples, the |> operator also looks like needless noise; code would be cleaner and more readable if this operator was whitespace without any other character (like function application in Haskell, but newlines should also be acceptable) and there was a different punctuation for when that isn't intended.

3. This seems really noisy:

square = (table=<-) => {
table |> map(fn: (r) => r._value = r._value * r._value)
}

Map is a transform applied to an input, so is square, so why can't it be:

square = map(fn: (r) => r._value = r._value * r._value)

Or, better:

square = map(_._value *= 2)

It’s not just a goof, it’s the entire hook of the article and it’s repeated twice. And although not pedantically wrong, the description of Putnam as the GOP candidate for governor is highly misleading. He’s running in the primary for the nomination and he’s not the favorite.
In the case they're describing this should almost surely not be a lambda function. Those should be reserved for when an arbitrary function makes sense, but it's unlikely that someone would have abstracted a function that could have done anything.

It's much more likely that the code in question is responsible for one particular thing, and switches between several different ways to achieve some sub-goal. Those parts should be lifted into some kind of interface, where the different variations are lifted into different implementations of that interface. A lambda function is the most general interface possible, so it's probably not the best choice, you'd eventually end up with callbacks calling each other without it being entirely clear which callback does what.
And I might add ...
