Google's directors' goal is to fulfil their fiduciary obligations of maximising net returns on invested capital, the same as 100% of every other corporate entity that has ever existed.

Lots of very interesting content, especially the images, and for some stupid reason they decided to reinvent a way to display images and text together on a website. As a result I stopped reading after having clicked on a text box in order to be able to read it all (otherwise some of it was lost below the window I had to view it in), and then there was no back button to return to where I was at.

Great content. Could have been very well served up by even (perhaps especially) a static web page. Reinventing how web pages work makes it not worth the effort, and I leave.
Main reason likely natural down cycle following parabolic run-up. Remember btc/crypto still a global, minimally regulated market driven by and large by unsophisticated retail investors (though pros are increasingly getting in). Domino effect / reflexivity on way up and on way down. Marginal buyer was simply exhausted at some pt, and institutional demand expected to be next big marginal buyer didn't materialize as quickly as people thought.

That said one guess on a trigger for the most recent sell off was that Bitcoin Cash, a fork of "reference" Bitcoin, forked in a bigly hostile way, resulting in two new Bitcoin Cash chains (Bitcoin Cash ABC and Bitcoin Cash SV - for satoshi vision lol) each now with its hash power majority controlled by one group e.g. highly centralized. The market is confronting the possibility that proof of work -- the most widely used consensus mechanism -- is way more centralized than it thought, and way more subject to value destruction from a tiny % of people.
Over the past few months I have been trying to figure out a solution for environmental issues in developing countries (like India where I'm from). Conclusion is, because of the democracy, the change is not possible from inside, some external force has to be there.

Here governments take decision for the short term because they have to please the common (& uneducated) men for the next election. Hence the agenda of environment doesn't get much attention. That's why have poor plastic management.

Educating people about these issues will take decades (& it will be too late). Only way forward could be if some constant external pressure is put on their governments using agreements/accords (like Paris Agreement) and some system is setup which will monitor issues like plastic management and carbon-emission. If countries are not following some standard they should be penalized.

Countries like US, Canada, Germany can take initiatives in doing so. Its not only about their carbon-emission & plastic-management, its about the whole planet.

Developing countries should be pressurized(!!) for reducing their population as well. In India, from past 2 decades, no government had an agenda to control population (which is the root of all the problems here). With some external pressure this could also be done I guess.

And most importantly, large & impactful countries like US and China shouldn't waste their time on petty issues like trade-war & focus on big issue here!

For all the hype, bitcoin really is not worth its price to me. I would not sacrifice 4k to have 1 bitcoin for its use today. Its expensive, slow and inconvenient to transfer.

When it hit 18k-20k last december it was absolutely nuts. Bitcoin is not there: it has no mainstream product market fit. Its pretty useless. And it hasn't been fulfilling its expectations of not being so.
It's a very good point and I'm glad the parent raised it. But wouldn't you find it distressing if teenagers were regularly found with a teaspoon full of plastic in their stomachs?

For most people making normal-person-sized transactions, TransferWise is fine, and doesn't need lots of documentation.

For example, paying rent on a holiday home, or sending money to a son or daughter studying abroad.

Larger sums, or transfers involving Americans, are more likely to need the additional identity checks.

If you are using Postgres as your database you can use Hasura to add GraphQL APIs on top of all the tables. Hasura can be exposed to the fronted applications with declarative permissions. You can add a reverse proxy if you want to. Hasura scales horizontally but you will have to manage Postgres on your own or use a hosted Postgres service like RDS.

This is related to GraphQL in general. The support for caching is nowhere close to what is possible with RESTful APIs but it should eventually get there.

You can’t pick and choose what is within your influence and what’s not. If the outcome of a system is both subject to your influence (to any degree) and also pre-determined then you are saying you don’t believe in free will — you are then in contradiction with yourself when you decide to take action on your own behalf for any reason as you surely have. The only correct path forward is one where you bear the weight of the knowledge that your actions have an impact on the world.
I thought this didn't apply to computer programs, but I looked it up and you're right... In France, authors' moral rights are quite strong.

In the UK, the moral right of attribution exist, but there's a specific exception for computer programs, so that programmers don't have a right to be identified as the author, or as far as I can tell any other moral rights.
The fight against racism has spanned decades, but your statement, "Racism as a concept that needed a word was barely present in the early 60s" does not seem correct.

To select an example from popular culture: the musical "South Pacific" (1949) contains a strong and explicit anti-racist message [1]. John Campbell reflected the racist views of a fairly large segment of the American society of his day. But there was already a large, and growing, part of society that rejected these views.

It is often unhelpful to apply modern-day standards to historical figures. But Campbell is from a time and place where racism was already recognized as an evil to be fought. He has no excuse.

Think of Hasura as a layer in between your front-end application and your Postgres database. You would have needed infra to deploy your custom GraphQL server which you can replace using Hasura which gives you CRUD operations on your database with role based access control as explained here https://docs.hasura.io/1.0/graphql/manual/auth/index.html.

Hasura doesn't make any presumptions about data caching as that is highly dependant on the app requirements. It simply tries to run the most optimal SQL query on the database whenever any data is requested as showcased here https://blog.hasura.io/architecture-of-a-high-performance-gr...

Hasura is horizontally scalable as it is inherently stateless. Each Hasura GraphQL engine instance runs independentally against the underylying database it is connected with.

For replicating the Hasura GraphQL schema across environments Hasura uses its Rails like migrations tooling as explained at https://docs.hasura.io/1.0/graphql/manual/migrations/index.h....

I hope so. SQL is better defined, more usable, more complete, and has better access controls than GraphQL. But at the same time I both doubt it, and I think storage structure is the wrong abstraction to expose (and here data-mapped GraphQL is just as bad).

If the OP is an unreliable narrator, then you shouldn't assume the guy isn't a snake, either.

I have seen the case you're wary of: a technical, but poorly communicating, employee that resents the success of a well-meaning, less technical but better communicating coworker.

I have seen good people like that, and I have seen snakes that pull the "we/I" as in the OP's story.
I broadly agree, but I think you should drop the whole notion of killing any significant portion of the human race from your rant. It’s not going to happen and it only serves to distract from a necessary conversation.

How to write scintillating technical blog posts
Shouldn't we compare by volume, not length?
1. At the start, I do feel it. But over time as I receive good feedback from students, it goes away. The key is to deliver (or rather, over-deliver) value to your students.

Many online teachers think they are not good enough because they compare themselves to the top 1% in the field. But even if they are far behind the top 1%, they are far ahead of the bottom 50% and their teaching is still valuable.

Sometimes, they turn out to be better teachers than the top 1% because they are nearer to their students level and can empathise and hence teach in a more effective manner.

2. Rarely. Some students ask for my trading background and performance. I'll tell them the truth. Don't be afraid they will think you are under-qualified. If they do feel that way, they won't enroll and move on. There are plenty of people who will enroll in your course regardless of your qualification (I only realised this after I started teaching).

3. Yes.

4. I did an interview piece, you can find more info on how I started there: https://hackernoon.com/founder-interviews-lucas-liew-of-algo...

82% of people who quote statistics get them wrong.

From your article:

> A recent study estimates that more than a quarter of all that waste could be pouring in from just 10 rivers, eight of them in Asia.

The 93% stat relates to just rivers as a source of plastic pollution.

> rivers collectively dump anywhere from 0.47 million to 2.75 million metric tons of plastic into the seas every year, depending on the data used in the models. The 10 rivers that carry 93 percent of that trash are the Yangtze, Yellow, Hai, Pearl, Amur, Mekong, Indus and Ganges Delta in Asia, and the Niger and Nile in Africa.

Still bad but much less than the original stat.

That's a bit of a stereotypical view not backed up by history. Generals didn't really "live in splendor". Generals visited the front line every day and were if anything more involved in the business end of the war than generals today would be. Many of them (more than 200 British generals) were killed or captured in action!

More generally, the officer class had a higher casualty rate than the troops, at least in the British army.

On top of that, they strategised a whole new type of industrial war for which they hadn't been trained or prepared, and they weren't any more or less enthusiastic about the war then the troops they led or the society they came from.

And it is particularly odd thing to say if you consider it from the perspective of, say, French generals. Their country was being invaded by a militaristic neighbour, but according to your formulation generals are callously squandering men and material for a pointless cause - except from the point of view of the people involved it was anything but pointless, the future of their country was at stake.
> fiduciary obligations of maximising net returns on invested capital

There is no such obligation. Please stop spreading bullshit.

Edit:

To those who don't believe me, see another post in the thread[1] or other sources on corporate law[2][3]. Note that the duty of loyalty says nothing about maximizing anything, and such a legal standard is preposterous.

First they ignore you. Then they ridicule you. And then they attack you and want to burn you...

To a certain extent it is up to us to chose what the "real world" will be, and preferring cryptocurrencies over existing objects seems consistent with many contemporary trends and aspirations (decentralized, auditable...).
While I think your points are valid, in my experience many people are more comfortable communicating face-to-face. They've had decades of practice at it.

They will talk about "body language" and fail to recognize how often such cues are interpreted wrong. They fail to see their discomfort as a flag of a problem and instead see IT as the problem. They (and many if us that prefer text communication) fail to realize that communication is a skill like any other that requires deliberate practice to improve in any great degree.

An example: dont ask a question with two alternate examples, you'll get a "yes" or "no" that isnt helpful and require at least one more cycle for them to clarify (usually more than one, because THEY know what they meant, so unless you explain your confusion well, it is 1+ cycles to explain your confusion and then another to get the answer. )

DON'T: "is the shutdown this weekend or next? "

DO: "the shutdown is this weekend, correct?" Or "the shutdown is this weekend and not next, correct?"

You wouldn't expect a "yes" answer to the "or" question, but it happens all the time. Conversations are "time-delayed" - our minds are constantly back filling guesses at the meaning, and often we respond when we have the wrong guess.

Changing this is HARD. I seriously think modern conversational practices have a lot of redundancy in them for error correction, but this also makes people find any impediment to communication (such as the quality of a call or having to wait for someone to pause so you can actually be heard) more annoying.
Hey look! an adult.
That's nuts. Also, that seems ripe for a meaningful stop gap solution which addresses at least part of the problem through collectors at the river deltas.
If DOJ can show evidence of cartels, terrorist cells, and other unsavory entities laundering their money through bitcoin, ICOs, ethereum, altcoins and tether, then anyone who has ever taken crypto to work on a project, anyone who handled the influx of cash to exchange it for crypto by selling Tether (which is all of the major exchanges), are headed for a storm of hurt.

We are no longer in SEC turf and DOJ has a conviction rate of 93% as of 2012, a trend which has been increasing. It's one thing to argue against Howey Test or hide money from the Taxman. It's a whole new level of shit storm to be accused of laundering money for terrorists and drug cartels.

> 93% of plastic polluting the world's oceans comes from 10 rivers.

This statements contradicts your article, which states: "A recent study estimates that more than a quarter of all that waste could be pouring in from just 10 rivers, eight of them in Asia." Your 10 listed rivers contribute 93% of the plastic waste brought into the ocean _by rivers_.

Also see this breakdown by country: https://www.statista.com/chart/12211/the-countries-polluting...

Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam each bring more marine plastic waste into the ocean than Egypt, but there is not a single river carrying it like the Nile.
To be fair, the OP said whenever the work was cooperative the person said "We", not "I", which I think is an improvement on snake.

I'm not saying it's great, but it also sounds like the OP needs to be more proactive about speaking roles in meetings when it comes to value of their practices, why things were done, etc. Now, would I work for a person if I hated them? Nope. Would probably be out of there.

In terms of "How can you!?", this stuff happens all the time all over the place and people work together. I think you can work through it with colleagues - it's not easy, but it's important if you think the mission / company are worthwhile. Otherwise, you're just going to dig deeper "into the box" on the credit thing and it won't be a good reflection on your work.
