It's true but , bitcoin is a weapon, like the dollar is. Because BTC can't be physically destroyed, nukes become useless if the purpose is to destroy an economy / state. Raising an army with bitcoin is also impossible , because it s international and inherently impossible to inflate. In fact any state that wants to wage war in a crypto world is essentially fighting mathematics.

It is also inevitable, as any country that decides to ban it will eventually be forced to bring it back as soon as a rival starts using it.
Obviously. However, that doesn't mean email isn't trivially an improvement lol. And it certainly doesn't mean we need to wait two thousand years to make that claim. C'mon now, that's patently ridiculous.

Yes, Disney is very large but CEO pay isn't proportional to employee count. If Elon Musk's compensation (almost $600m in 2019) was divided amongst Tesla's 70,000 employees, that would be ~$8,500/employee. If Sumit Singh's compensation (~$108m in 2019) was distributed amongst Chewy.com's employees (9,800 in 2019), it would be ~$11,000/employee.

No one thinks bringing CEO pay back to Earth will solve poverty by itself.

The fact that you appear to be completely blind to the third option - the actual issue - is far more telling than any argument you've made so far.

This seems to disregard the trememdous advances in all the fields of healthcare made in the last 40 years. Treatments are readily available for diseases which were previously death sentences. Treatments that were prohibitively expensive in 1980 are cheaply available today. Once we factor this into our analysis I don't think anything has stagnated.

And how much of this would you attribute to people making different choices and having different priorities? How would you control for people's willingness to be poorer and still have children?

Just take Uniswap for example. Now imagine that every asset on the planet could be represented by a fungible or non-fungible token. You can put a Uniswap plugin into any browser and you now have a universal way to swap between any assets you want, 24/7. You could buy real estate, bonds, gold, stocks, currencies, all from your browser.

Now obviously this is not quite a a reality today. Most things exchanged on Uniswap are crypto tokens, but there are a lot of synthetic assets today, like mTSLA (which is a synthetic share of TSLA) and many more. So now I can hold stocks in my Metamask account today. Sure, it's only price exposure, it's not like TSLA has dividends anyway.

And then there's the oracle problem when it comes to real world assets, but this is solvable with existing legal systems, and soon, crypto legal systems like OpenLaw.

So yeah, Uniswap is my go to example of the power of DeFi.
I've found a lot of success abusing a styled-system Box (+ Flex/Grid) component. It's like a more mature, flexible tailwind that allows complex integrations and much more dynamic styling, not to mention extremely simple media query adjustments.

I know it's not the right system for everyone, but it's the best styling/layout framework I've ever used. You can have it span as much functionality or as little as you want. In my experience sticking to largely layout based styles is the right move, while occasionally mixing in some slight design-based styling as needed.

<Box
px={4} // padding left & right
width={['95%', '80%', 320]} // correlates to my media query grid
>
<Card ... />
</Box>

or

<Flex gap={4} flexDirection="column">
<Card ... />
<Card ... />
</Flex>

or

<Grid
gridTemplateColumns="1fr 1fr 320px"
gridGap={4}
>
<Card ... />
<Card ... />
<Sidebar ... />
</Flex>

I can put together nearly any layout I want without ever touching styled-components, raw css/sass, or augmented classNames (ew?). If I need to do something complex, falling back to a normal styled-component is trivial enough. Plus every layout is in your face and immediately visible; no paging and scrolling around files to figure out what this class or custom styled-component does.

The only downside is that if you don't organize your layouts effectively and break up your react components, you can end up with Box overloads or abuse, but ultimately its up to the developer or team member to figure out that balance. It hasn't been too much a problem for me.
This isn't _as_ short-sighted as the famous "Dropbox comment"[1], but it's pretty close.

a) Slack _clearly_ offers a lot of meaningful functionality over-and-above IRC channels. "Searching" - and, implicitly, persistence - is so fundamental to the offering that it's (apocryphally) part of the acronymic name. Threading, bot support, and channel discovery are all useful features. Sure, all of those things _can_ be implemented on an IRC server, but they're not out-of-the-box.

b) Setting up and supporting an IRC server is non-trivial for a non-technical person. Sure, it's easy to you and me - but any system that can allow customers to get access to that functionality _without_ needing a dedicated I.T. team is going to be more attractive to decision-makers.

It'd be wherever in the network path has the most contention, all else being equal.

For a home environment, this would most likely be at the Internet Gateway level, since home networks usually operate at >100Mbps transfer rates between nodes, but to the internet have <=100Mbps.

That all being said, contention at the gateway level like this would be assuming that KCP and TCP are both being used for, say, large file downloads.

If KCP is limited to use for sharing game state data for a game like Counter Strike, then the likelihood that KCP would consume all available bandwidth within a given time window is low, since the data rate is measured in hundreds of Kbps, not Mbps.
You're so nice I almost feel awkward. That was not real feedback actually, just a quick hint. I didn't even have time to actually come through the work of yours though although I indeed consider it important. We certainly need a practical way to make Python desktop GUI apps.

That's rare in my experience. It seems every startup wants you to think their area is the most exciting in the world and you are full of ideas of how to move the product forward. It's like wanting detailed specs means you are unmotivated, just because you're not interested in making decisions in that space, whether to use one color over another or think ahead about the behavior of the feature, for development it is technically irrelevant, as it's all just translating to code, but business people will have none of that attitude lol.

Airports are rarely next to your starting or ending locations, so flying usually requires extra ground transport on either end. This transportation, and the transfer time easily add an hour. Train stations are often close to the city centre, and better integrated into the local transportation networks.

In the airport, there is processing time before boarding - check-in, security, gate check, etc. This time adds another 45 minute buffer before departure. Boarding a train can be as simple as arriving at the terminal and walking onto the train.

Heroku has always had a place in my heart. It was, by far, the best way to deploy small apps. One `git push` to deploy. It just worked. The problem is that by the time you grow up and hire multiple people, you very quickly run into a point where hiring a devops guy is cheaper than Heroku. You hit this limit much quicker if you are doing something more complicated than monolith + database.

There is also something I like to call the Ruby on Rails dilemma. Rails is a beast when it comes to rapid prototyping and small teams. I don't think anything else comes close. But as your team and system grow, all the conventions that let you speed ahead in the beginning start holding you back. Now you are digging through Rails code and doco trying to find ways to override defaults without destroying everything else.

Heroku is the PaaS version of Rails. Small projects are super easy to get going. You don't get a better starting experience. But as you grow, all the conventions of Heroku that helped you launch with ease start becoming month-long expeditions for work-arounds. Worse, Heroku isn't open source. You can't look at the code to understand your issue. It doesn't take long for someone to lose their minds and spend a weekend creating a presentation on the benefits of moving to another platform.

Are you actually seriously complaining about the argument that you'd be better off starting a tech company than a non-tech company? I didn't realize that was even up for debate. Sure, that's how PG made his money, but that doesn't make his argument any less accurate. Just because there's a concept of a success bias, it doesn't automatically apply to every argument.

They did very careful distillation of the water (and confirmed it with mass spectroscopy).

> It makes people uncomfortable to think that success is mostly a matter of luck.

I constantly hear this sentiment and don't think it makes people uncomfortable at all. If anything it is the opposite, people cling to this idea to absolve themselves of responsibility for their own situation.

What makes people far more uncomfortable is the nagging feeling that success isn't mostly a matter of luck. Success is a choice in life that requires restraint, sacrifice, an appetite for risk, and resilience.

But if you follow some basic rules (finish high school, don't have kids before marriage, don't do drugs or smoke, minimise alcohol, eat healthy and exercise, don't buy things to impress others), you have a very good chance of being successful in life. Obviously we can't all be billionaires or whatever, but you can definitely live a fairly comfortable and modest life.
I am in my 40s, working as senior SRE at a large firm since 2.5 yrs now, and working some nights and weekends on developing my product.

I agree that going up the ranks is not as nice ( i did not make it that high yet). Also dont put all your eggs in the same project. make sure u are also doing something u enjoy
Almost certainly the heavily privacy themed cryptos will the first to go. Monero, dash, I'm looking at you.

Bitcoin and ethereum are almost certainly safe, but I there are a few on the periphery that are harder to gauge. Decentralized exchange tokens like 0x and rep / augur seem like they could fall on the wrong side of the law too. Lastly, I'm not sure how much I would want to hold stable coins like maker / dai.

Um, decisions are recorded in meeting minutes. They're also on record because they get implemented.

Players do a lot of unrecorded influential moves, like team-building, mentoring, training, etc.

This comes up almost every time, but it's not "basically inline CSS". The best thing about Tailwind (and utility classes in general) is that it forces you to use consistent measurements across your app.

"Shoot, was this 13px padding or 14px padding on the other page?" Don't worry about it, just use "p-4, p-6, etc.". Thinking in these terms becomes really powerful.

Another great thing as that you just simply don't have to think about what to name things! I find that so liberating, to be honest, and I don't have to keep switching back and forth between my markup and my css. I don't have to worry about coming up with semantically descriptive names. I just use "text-gray-500". Was this .authorrole? Or was it .authoremail? Hmm, now I want to display an author nickname. Do I just repeat "authorname" class? I find it so freeing to basically not have to worry about this stuff at all.
NSURL and its kin are notoriously leaky. I've found a couple of leaks myself.

>But the issue is not that simple.

I think actually it is very simple. Obviously when you wish to watch some movie your privacy should not be compromised to the end of your life or the life of your computer. It's too much to demand from customer.

Just like when you buy an ice cream you do not expect that seller will be granted rights to visit your home whenever he wants from now on. Very simple. No DRM no problem.

If seller sells movies he should not install DRM to the customer nor demand it nor imply it. Because in attempt to control things that are impossible to control one can endanger much more important things which can lead to loosing rights, freedom and democracy and those are much more serious problems then some additional copies of some stupid movies which cannot be prevented anyway.
The semantically descriptive unit for most Tailwind users is the React/Vue/Angular component. For vanilla web development it definitely makes less sense, especially since it has a "compile" step.
I'd hazard to guess it's more a factor of "professional bowlers try not to end up in the situation they need to pull off a 7-10 split" over how difficult it is to pull off once they're in that scenario.

C#’s new syntax for `using` also helps:

Old:

}

New:

using var file = OpenFile();
// file will be disposed when it goes out of scope

Yup. And Actually, you need to know the corners of the QR code pretty precisely to actually de-skew the QR tag to pull out the code from it, and it’s an easy transformation to get 6dof orientation and translation from that (although you need some idea about the camera optics, but that’s easy to calibrate with similar techniques beforehand). You’re right about about speed, though, and some fiducials are much more resistant to motion blur than QR codes are (and work with much lower resolution cameras).
I assume part of it is that top professionals that are being televised are usually getting strikes.
People at scale work differently from people in person. They will not be independent if there's a sudden drastic change (let's say a ban on work-from-home) or if there is a parallel hierarchy among your employees (e.g. a union) that would orchestrate a coordinated strike/resignation. Such unions are typically driven by power-motivated people that for some reason are not interested in the regular management ladder.

The corporations are handling it very well for their own bottom line: the people that could theoretically organize unions are now happily giving talks about privilege and forcing others to hate each other and compete for the artificially restricted pool of positions and zero-expense privileges (hello, pronouns), rather than coming together and refusing to do their work until everyone gets better terms.

Well, that or it’s just more user friendly. It’s hard to plan my finances if I don’t know how much I’ll be paying (since I don’t know, and have no control over, how many creations someone will make next month).
Well, I think that protecting "private" data should be the default but there would be exceptions (because reality is complicated, and so is the law).

For example, I don't think that all information created by a government should be given the same protections as information about individual humans, which is why we have Freedom of Information laws. I would even go so far as to say that this principle should apply to corporations, at least for information that is no longer commercially relevant.

We already have "public interest" exceptions for things like reporters exposing the private lives of politicians, and that sort of careful consideration also has to be applied to requests invoking "the right to be forgotten".

Anyway, even if a society didn't make DRM systems illegal outright, it could accept a legal judgement that "private keys" which are distributed to end user devices are not to be considered private. As a practical matter, though, if your DRM system relies on the secrecy of a key that can fit in a QR code, then you shouldn't expect the law to put that genie back in the bottle for you.
I think it's exciting too, but I'm also a little weary of making these complex financial instruments more prevalent. I see more of a downside to the increase in these instruments overall. Still fascinating to watch unfold though.
