Can you elaborate with some examples?

Fair enough, though Go would probably be dead if it suffered the same churn as Google's frontend projects.

My main problem with using anything from Google is that I work on projects that may end up in production for years, and Google's history of playing fast and loose with (or shit-canning) the frameworks it develops doesn't inspire m

They're going to end up getting a lot of snail mail that they can't ignore.

What other interpretation can "funding secured" possibly have other than "we've got to funding to go ahead with this"?

Just don't accuse upstanding citizens of being pedos, or try to manipulate your company's stock price with false promises of buying it back at a premium and you'll be fine.

If only a neutral third party, such as a respected auditing firm, could confirm they hold the cash in reserve.

I hope you stick to webdevelopment and never touch anything remotely related to medical devices, or control systems.

Don't need quantum fintech for that, "blockchain fintech" is already rubbish.

None of those are particularly expedient, but you have a point. Crypto, the not-so-fast bullion-based international payment system. Perhaps the perpetrators might have better luck sending each other USD notes by mail instead.

Probably because crypto is only useful insofar as it can be converted into useful fiat currencies, which means that it can be tracked.

Go already has generics for its built-in collection types, yet you can see nothing but downsides for user-defined generic types? Incredible mental gymnastics you've got there.

And when you've got this network of RPis running, the Myanmar government simply says "Nope we don't recognize those individuals as citizens. But thanks for compiling a convenient persona non grata list for us!"

Isn't that just a side effect of frontend devs being able to use their existing JS knowledge serverside? I'd expect the reverse to happen as well to some degree since currently backend devs are somewhat "forced" to take

Wonder what its effect on the popularity of Javascript will be, given that it can be used as a compilation target for pretty much any language (?).

Maybe...but it sounds like the "warnings" that grape juice manufacturers placed on their products during Prohibition, to prevent turning them into wine accidentally by letting them ferment.

Or they could just use the dollar, or even the currency from one of their close neighbours that hasn't gone belly up. Transaction fees for bitcoin rose to what, 50-ish USD during the December madness? (when the network was saturated).

Agree with you for the most part, but the GDPR extends much further than that. Even if you've accepted the default consent popup from a website, you can also revoke that consent in the future and request you be forgotten (either your d

Compression artifact maybe? Doesn't seem likely they'd risk their reputation by faking correspondence with Google and publishing it in the open.
