Don't think thats useful in terms of currency exchange. In order for a crypto currency to be transferred it has to be committed to the public ledger. If you are cut off from the rest of the internet you can never have a successful transfer. I don't think people in Russia and Ukraine can wait years to convert cypto to local currency. What could happen is a fork of that cryptocurrency could be created in Russia with a completely different set of transactions. It could never rejoin the main chain otherwise that full transaction log would be lost.

I'd actually been thinking about giving golang a try after seeing some very clever usage of concurrently operating Go routines, do you know of any particularly interesting server examples you could share?

As for the homework...

naive answer: constantly update every T shirt app instance with a record of the current stock, as every transaction completes, and then make sure the system all agrees before allowing additional transactions. Sort of like a really inefficient internal distributed ledger.

horizontial/vertical scale agnostic answer: split the stock tracking into two separate services. One that is focused on managing transactions/maintains the number of T shirts (presumably a hash table for different types of T-shirts with their quantities), the other being updated every time that inventory table changes. The first service can probably be further decomposed into constituent services but for now we'll keep it simpler as a single big one. At page load time the app instance can send a GET (or equiv) request to the secondary service to get quantities of all the shirts on a given page (using matching item ID/hashes) that is then cached in something like localStorage, with ones in limited supply or out of stock denoted as such by the browser/app on render. On a transaction completion you send an update request to the primary stock service, which then begins its process of updating the table/passing the updated table to service two. This will allow customers to add products to their cart with a much lower chance of finding out some are out of stock at check out, but also (hopefully) keeps the stock tracking footprint lower than something like a constantly polling no-matter-what or monolithic tracking system.

Given the bottlenecks I can already see with the checkout transaction part, I'm actually extra curious how to improve it, so I hope you'll share what the exemplar solution would be!
> Can you tell me which data was nonconsensually obtained from phones?

This is clearly explained, multiple times, in the article that you yourself linked to:

> This time, the CNIL decision, dated 17 March 2011, concerns data collected for the implementation of the “Google Latitude” service, which enables geolocation of users that have a Google account and a “smartphone”.

> The users’ phones themselves since they are used for the purposes of geolocation.

If you are claiming that no phone data was collected, then how do you explain this quotation which I have now quoted three times:

>>> The CNIL held that since it was carried out without the knowledge of the data subjects, the collection of data using the “Google Cars” or the mobile phones of “Google Latitude” users was carried out unfairly and therefore in breach of article 6.1° of the French data protection law.

If somebody hasn't worked with the language before, that confidence is not there at all.

Sure, but expectations and reality are not always in agreement. The grass is always greener on the other side, right? Those people might have a different opinion after working with the “better” language for a while.

Regarding your point if a low-level employee sitting on it, it's all a matter of education, training, policy. When GDPR came in force, the security team at my then workplace informed every employee that any suspicion of a breach should be immediately brought to their attention so that they can help evaluate the seriousness of the suspicion. After such a policy is brought into effect, no employee will "sit" on it or they risk sanctions.

I wish Flutter would die in a fire! The web version renders everything in a canvas. This sucks! It means, no reading of text because no DOM to read for a11y, no standard context menus (so no OS/browser level spell checking, word lookup, copy and paste, password generation), poor slow 2nd class support for non-roman languages (it has to do it's own font rendering so it asynchronously downloads/rasterizes non-ASCII code points which means new characters show up as placeholders and only appear 500-1000ms later. I'm sure I could go on and on about how bad that decision is.

Interesting, I didn't realize CSP was so specific.

I heard someone say that Erlang's model was CSP too. They aren't called "channels" but they're very similar in that you have two different process/threads that are reading/writing to/from an ordered stream that feels the same as reading/writing to/from a Go channel.

What would Erlang's model be called? Does "the Actor Model" cover it?

> but unlike French, English is not an officially regulated language

This isn't actually how french works either, or any of those languages that have official academies. Those should probably be viewed mostly as vestigial tools of state formation left over from the bootstrapping-nationstates era of european history. Or cultural relics from before linguistics had its current understanding of how languages form and change. They are many things but ultimately they're not the ones that decide what words should be used or what they mean.

> But it is not a moral issue

It's not a dire one by any means, I wouldn't argue for consequences for failing to meet it. But I do think we have a light moral responsibility to refer to people and groups of people by the names they ask us to use when referring to them. A lot of "new" names for cities and countries are because the "old" name was chosen without consideration or consultation with the people who live there. We're now much more easily able to have those consultations, so we should, and they should inform the names we use.

I don't think anyone should use thermobaric weapons (or really any weapons, at least offensively). But can someone explain what "banning" them would do in an instance like this? Can we ban nuclear weapons too? It seems to be consensus that the war is illegal, what does making any of the actions more illegal do? It's the geopolitical equivalent of writing new laws about things that were already illegal under old laws, to give a sense of doing something, without doing something.
I think there's something in this. The "where's today's Beethoven" chart would be completely explained either by an actual decline, or by it becoming harder to be rated a genius against contemporaries over time. And that itself is mostly a numbers game too: the human population now is 7 times larger than it was at Beethoven's death. Vienna's population (relevant since we're talking about Beethoven) was about 200,000 then, but it's 9 times that now. If part of the qualification to be remembered as a genius is notoriety and publicity, which it must be, then because it's much more crowded at the top it's more than likely that all the individuals currently of Beethoven's absolute talent level are thought of as merely "extremely good", not "genius", precisely because they don't break away from the pack and individually dominate the field.
I was all set to complain about this, but the wiki is pretty on point:

You make it sound as if pop singers used autotune selectively, judging when it's better than natural technique. I wrote my comment in the context of large swaths of pop singers who use autotune indiscriminately in all their songs, throughout. (At least that's my impression from songs recommended to me by YouTube in incognito mode.) Now show me an acclaimed pianist who keeps their foot down on a single pedal throughout all their performances. I'd be surprised if the most common motivation for using autotune wasn't being unable to hit the right notes.
I got bitten by a strange variant of this the other day. I tried using Lyft (which I'd done in the past on other phones), and on Android it uses "google pay" with seemingly no other option.

Even though I had (somewhere, somehow) entered multiple cards into one of these google payment systems previously, none of them were actually usable for "tap to pay" purposes. I never cared about this fact because I have a Garmin watch which implements its own tap to pay.

It turns out that Lyft required that I have a "tap to pay" account set up. Upon requesting a ride, I received an error stating that none of my existing Google Pay methods were valid. The only thing I could do at that point was to register one of the cards that Google already had on file for "tap to pay," which in turn required that I complete the provider MFA enrollment process.

This meant that I had to sit on hold for 10 minutes and give them some personal information before I was even able to request a ride with Lyft. Which sucked, because I was tired and wanted to get home.

The UX was completely terrible here. I don't know if Uber would've been the same way, but I want to nope right out of this entire stupid ecosystem.

I've gotten into the habit of posting my opinions on my own site because it simply makes them a bit more concrete and enduring.

I am so tired of wasting time in posting to apps/sites like Twitter and Reddit, they really have no interest in fostering a community. Everything is intentionally on rails that we cannot operate within. The Social Media aspect only serves to cover up the real focus.

It's good to finally begin to see that people are acknowledging the deceptively engineered flaws in our current tech world.

Ehh I think that's not quite right. A javelin costs a tenth of a million to fire, but you can just hand a few shots to a guy and send him on its way. As I understand it, it's pretty easy to use.

A russian T-90 costs ~$5M to buy, but also requires a crew of ~3 trained people, plus munitions, plus a good deal of fuel, and logistics support to move it around.

The asymmetry in Ukraine is first and foremost Russia having way more troops to burn. Economic and manpower held equal, rocket infantry certainly seem like they have a higher return than tanks on total operating costs
This looks great! A port to microcontroller platforms like Arduino would be really slick IMHO.
On a similar note, I've found so many items on Amazon are "review hijacked". You'll see 5 star reviews, but when you look at the actual reviews, they are all for a different product. They sold some simple product with good reviews, then swapped everything out for their new, more expensive product.

This was the case for the front page results for S22 screen protectors when I was looking a few weeks ago. It's ridiculous that Amazon doesn't catch this.

There may be something to that with specific regards to jet aircraft, but even then I'm not convinced. More generally with regards to manpower, I think you're probably wrong. VDV have been ground up like cannon fodder repeatedly, and there are reports of redoubled conscription of Russian students. I don't think they're holding their best men back, I think they've already gotten their best men killed with little to show for it.

The catholic church is not comparable to the social system in Tibet. When you say "let the Catholic church keep their lands", it is a much smaller claim than saying "let the monastaries keep their land" as the monasteries were the center of the feudal system in Tibet.

They owned over half of all of the arable land in Tibet and had legally bound serfs working that land for the benefit of the ecclesiastical class.

Your request is more akin to saying that Europe should return the land belonging to feudal lords (ie. most land).

reversedly, I was at a company where I kept focusing on 'stuff', trying to respond on time, hit deadlines, etc. Went to lunch with someone and he kept saying "chill out, don't sweat it". We were late back from lunch. It bothered me, but not him. I found out a few months later he was dating the niece of the dept manager. The two of them were friends with another lead on the floor. This is why he was always 'chill' about stuff. He never hit deadlines or delivered great stuff... it didn't matter. He was 'in'.
