Agreed. It's infuriating that states can be so irresponsible with their water policy, leaving such a horrible legacy to the next generation.
As far as I know, the only actual legal requirement is that SEPA transfers to other countries can't be more expensive than in-country bank transfers. It just happens that a lot of European countries don't generally have charges for bank transfers.

The main benefit from this that I can see is that El Salvador will attract bitcoin businesses with a lot of money and other bitcoin whales who might move there and start businesses, employing locals and injecting money into the El Salvador economy.

The average person isn't going to use bitcoin and the average merchant will likely never be paid in it.
> The constraints for comparison are already stated: computation power being the main priority

Who compares ultrabook to desktop for the multithreaded computation power? Assume you only want that without any regards to power or space or cost, by your logic you could buy 1000 mac mini and the computational power will be more than any desktop computer.
You don't need machine learning and AI to drive a train on a one dimensional track, just a half decent team of Engineers to design something properly.

Most of the article was about the reasons "designing something properly" is an almost impossible task in this situation, once you take into account the reality of what is there right now, the goal(s) you might actually want to achieve, and the likely costs of doing so.
The Party can have whatever rules it wants. If it should even prefer for its leader to be a Hampster, it can do that.

As you might expect the political parties in the UK are organised differently according to their principles, so the Labour Party is an unincorporated association which only owns companies for purposes for which an informal group would be illegal (e.g. "People who come to our meetings" cannot legally own a plot of land, but "Labour Party Meetings Limited" could) while whatever the current Nigel Farage vehicle is (Reform? Brexit Party? Whatever he's calling it now) is a private company entirely owned and controlled by Nigel and his friends.
It's an interesting read but as they acknowledge themselves the attack surface is probably pretty low.

> Sharing certificates between a Webserver and an FTP server is almost always dangerous if an attacker has write access to the FTP server. It is sometimes dangerous if the attacker has no write access.

When dealing with "secure FTP" it is usually SFTP (so actually SSH so no TLS / certificate in the picture) instead of FTPS (ie. actual FTP + TLS). I don't think I've ever seen FTPS in the wild. But thats just my personal experience.

> Sharing certificates between a Webserver and an SMTP/POP3/IMAP server is sometimes dangerous, depending on the exact behavior of the server.

Are there people who do that? I don't think I've ever seen a SMTP or IMAP server with a wildcard certificate. Let alone the cert being shared with a HTTP server.
No, turns out SEPA only stipulates that cross-border transfers cannot be more expensive than national transfers, it doesn't say they should be free :(

Yes, that is precisely the route.

The billions (like moi) in the third world have realised that the longer they violate the immigration laws, the better their chances of having some activist argue their right to stay.

Their is no other law/regulation that I know of where the longer you violate the law, the more rights your have.

Sometimes you can't use production data in your staging environment, like when prevented by privacy laws. Often times developers who would not have access to production data would have permissions to view data in a staging environment...

Creating tools to produce realistic test data and also using fuzzing tools can be just as good and sometimes even better than using actual production data.

I am sorry but what is the point of adopting BTC if vast majority of the transactions are going to be handled by a third party service. Makes no sense to me.
That was probably a critical mass event. It happens on the last Friday evening of every month.
Honestly, I have completely given up on criticizing BTC - there was a reddit thread about post-apocalyptic society, and the BTC zealots were arguing that was the perfect place for cryptocurrency.

The argument was that, after society had completely collapsed, and people were killing each other over food and water, there would still be a need for wealth transfer and escrow services.

That is when I realized that I shouldn't take most BTC/crypto arguments seriously, because the people are way too invested personally and economically to be rational.
I remain unconvinced that CRT is at all constructive and I find it peculiar that you recognise it as erroneous to characterise black people as a monolith when this is exactly what CRT does.

My understanding is that Strike is already reasonably popular in El Salvador, because it's much better than taking a bus 2 hours to the Western Union, paying 10% to them, then paying 10% to the gang that hangs outside.

Could a more "conventional" system do the same job? Probably, but I won't begrudge people a working solution.
> You mean that a transfer from your Greek bank account to another Greek bank account would cost you 3 EUR?

Yep! Sad.

> What happens if you get a bank account in another EU / SEPA country (e.g. via n26) and use it instead of a Greek bank account? Would there be any downside? Would a Greek company paying you a salary refuse to transfer the money there rather than a Greek bank account?

No, transferring money to N26/Revolut is free (well, minus whatever fee the Greek bank will charge, which I think will be 3 EUR), but receiving money from N26 gets a 3 EUR fee again...

This is a personal hypothesis and I have no sources for my assertion besides my own anecdotes.

I've noticed that Californians have a "we have to do something / we can't just do nothing" mentality when it comes to problems. So what ends up happening is that the California legislature will gladly pass laws which implement new bureaucracies to address whatever issue happens to be trending. This is how Californians end up with so many line items and fees tacked on to every government transaction. You wind up with a very complicated government and some bizarre rules that seem like overkill. And, the more complex a system is the more likely it is to be inefficient and ineffective due to all the moving parts.
Its a great practical idea. Thank you
Exactly. I’ve been disturbed by the fact people still use the term “grapefruit”.

Nothing new...

15 years ago when MSN was existing i saw script with "login prompt" to share something important with your MSN buddies. Once user login - script dump his username/password to DB, login on MSN and share same text to all his buddies about game.

Of course link leading to same login prompt and least one buddy click on it and login.

So was easy to reproduce that even in Facebook using token of logged user.
Maybe I am a bit to critical or most people in Berlin central do not know this, but Tempelhof isn't even the mother of 'abandoned' airports in Berlin. That would be Johannisthal. Sure, it's even more abandoned so you barely see the remains of the runways and so on. But well, these days the parks are full enough anyways :)
The cost and complexity of opening channels for users is prohibitive. Any widely adopted solutions will therefore be custodial. Might as well use PayPal.
This. Nvidia's CUDA is a genuine technical marvel, and Metal really has nothing that can compete with it. I also get the feeling that unless Apple bites the bullet and supports Vulkan, they won't actually get any good GPU libs.
> All that said, self-compromised accounts are still a problem. They degrade the trust of users in what they can believe online.

I guess most have forgotten that you should not believe everything you see on the internet or even on your computer screen and Facebook is just a major component that is playing its part in fuelling these disinformation campaigns.

Facebook cannot and will never change. Even after the massive phone number data breach, It's been extremely overdue to delete your account.
Hi renrutal, Steffen from Airy here. Thanks for your remark and I couldn't agree more with you which is why we don't pay-wall privacy features. Actually, nothing stops you from turning on encryption also in the open source version of Airy as Pascal pointed out above.

The topic you mentioned above comes from our pricing page for the Airy Enterprise Edition and is about an additional (!) and fully optional conversational data store for archiving conversations and to provide for conversational analytics use cases. We currently only offer this additional streaming option for enterprise customers with large amounts of conversational data by leveraging data lakes on economic cloud storage solutions like AWS S3. We strongly recommend to activate server-side encryption for this storage option.

Here's a blog post we wrote about the relevant topic of utilizing data lakes as a long-term solution to store conversational data: https://blog.airy.co/introducing-data-lakes-for-conversation...

If you have further suggestions how to improve privacy features in the interest of all users, we are of course happy to discuss them.

But you see that's the problem. With Strike you aren't tranasacting on the Blockchain, you're transacting through Strike which I then would settle the transaction for you. Yes it has the advantage of no fees, instant transfers, etc. But you aren't really transacting on the blockchain, at least not directly.

El Salvador picked BTC because of it's popularity, the problem is BTC is a terrible currency to actually use for something like this because of slow transaction speeds and high fees, so to get around that they augment it with Stike, which takes the decentralization out of the transactions, which makes the whole thing moot in my mind.
Exactly. The question isn’t “a few CDNs” vs “Many CDNs”. There are too many economies of scale. It’s really CDN vs Not? (Roll your own just isn’t feasible except for a half dozen of the largest tech firms)

I said... "on their home". If you move out of it and rent it out, it's not your home anymore, it's an investment property, which is taxed differently, as it should be. Regular people (not real estate investors or landlords, people who just own one home at a time) almost never pay taxes on a home purchase[1].

As head of sales and marketing, Suresh didn’t need his CEO to buy into the process or give his permission to start the discovery process. He was in charge.

Is this some kind of business rule I'm ignorant of? No matter what my title says I'm in charge of, if I start doing something I already know my boss doesn't want me to do I'm going to be in trouble. It's all well and good to say "Fuck you, the paper says that was my job" but that's not going to help you if the boss decides you need to go.
This is more reflective of the media bubble you are living in; it’s not nearly as bad as you think. Especially if you’re into tech (say you read hacker news) any problem that exists in California (where a lot of tech people live) is a hot discussion topic.

> Are you aware that those things go through a design phase with the explicit objective of giving them a personality, right?

Not really. I see quite the opposite; during the design phase the team sets the rules in order to guarantee consistency and cohesiveness and avoid any deviation from what has been agreed upon. This rules out personal or whimsical contributions, because by definition it would ruin the process.

> Anyway, it's not like you can avoid giving your software a personality. You can't.

I alluded to that, if you re-read my comment, but a software having its unintended whims, compared to intentionally trying to give it some "personality" is not the same thing at all.

I'd suggest you write down on a piece of paper a measurable fact that would disprove your hypothesis. (The hypothesis you write down here as if it were a fact.)
I think that using cash makes money expensive which adds some base load inflation - this will help reduces homelessness and other societal ills (such as wealth inequality).

Electronic money is never lost, not like those pounds, pennies, dollars, quarters. Losing money, takes out of circulation. While not much is taken out, it might be enough to create a base load of inflation - money becomes more scarce and therefore more expensive.

Low inflation leads to asset price bubbles - stock market and housing in particular. It also suppresses wage inflation. So housing becomes more expensive and wages do not keep up, making housing less affordable. A double punch.

Low inflation leads to more financial speculation as people with access to capital look to diversify away from a limited pool of assets (Bonds and cash become less desirable in low inflation regimes). Buying housing and leasing it out is a good use of capital. However, this leads real-estate investors to drive increases in rent as they chase yield and airbnb-empires also drive rental prices - as this is one way of driving yield.

High rents combined with low wage growth means that people's lives become priced for perfection and one small deviation can knock them out of equilibrium - losing their home / rental property when they lose their job.

All because governments and technology are conspiring to keep inflation low. Using cash is the person-on-the-street's only weapon to fight it.
> The Party can have whatever rules it wants.

Not sure what point you're trying to make. Yes they can have whatever rules they want... and the rule they want is that the leader must be a commoner MP.

But there is a fundamental difference in that you never need to identify yourself to anyone ever: unlike our present banks and institutions where "We will never ask you for your password" is a statement meant with 30 conditionals attached to it, and so is "Don't give out your social security number."

Really grandma, never give anyone your private key, ever, and only write it down with pen and paper, never on the computer.

Striking has historically been a significant problem on the Tube as well. That is partly because there is a limited supply of train drivers with the appropriate qualifications and if they strike then you can't just parachute someone untrained in to replace them. As you say, the risk of disruption to the travelling public from strikes might be reduced, though not eliminated, if the roles that still required human action had more limited responsibilities and required less skill/training. The DLR is a reasonable example of this in London, not immune to strike action, but historically less disrupted by it.
This is hopefully the plan. As a Salvadorean living in the US it would worry me otherwise

That is a really interesting speculation, and of course we will never know the answer.

I do think it was ignorance about programming, combined with Steve's infamous arrogance. I'd programmed in machine language on a few different architectures by that time, and not just assembly but binary machine code too. To me the 6502 just looked like another instruction set.

But as you might guess, I have sometimes wondered "what if" I'd pushed back more.

Would I have ended up a billionaire or at least a multi-millionaire?

Or would Steve have driven me to the brink of despair, as he did with a few other people? (One dear friend of mine once said in an interview, "You may find that some people who worked with Steve won't want to talk about their experience.")

Or perhaps worse for the world in the long run, could my involvement have led to Apple Computer's downfall? The dirty little secret is that I didn't have a 6502 chip to test my code on, but I was working at Tymshare [1] at that time, I had a Teletype [2] machine at home, and Tymshare had a 6502 emulator that I used to test my code. Oops! What if they had gotten wind of this and sued me and/or this little Apple Computer company?

From a financial trading/pricing standpoint, I'd say bitcoin is centralized too, in that binance, bitfinex, coinbase and the rest of the major exchanges are necessary for the trading process.

Then when you add their dependence on centralized stablecoins like Tether to the mix, I don't think BTC would have the price it has now, if it were truly decentralized.
