Ditto. Would love to figure out if there's a good way of mapping out layer 1/2 connectivity from a single computer as well. Would be really, really fascinating.

At a recent start-up like situation we paid licensing for a monitoring and metrics provider that provided out of the box tracing infrastructure for us. It turned out that the licensing was quite expensive for what we where getting (couldn&#

"It also asks the Federal Trade Commission to report on acts of political bias collected by the White House" Is this not similar to the approach and actions of other large State actors out there that hold a lot of authoritative po

Its an interesting thought experiment to assess in what ways Twitter is a "private website". It really is a public web space that is operated by a private company, but I can't help but feel that the nuances and similarities o

To me the usage of "immutable" is to imply some element of verifiably provable data exists in the database or system. Persistence would rather imply data longevity in the face of disaster, downtime, or under load, etc. Not the gre

What about cyber capabilities? For a hot war, China seems underequipped, but this doesn't seem the most relevant anyways. Cyber and proxy war-like capabilities seem more important in this day and age. From what I can tell China leads i

What's your typical strategy for parsing something like a large text file for some relevant data? Suppose you could cat and grep, but what if you don't know what you're looking for?

I'm not super familiar with Heroku and similar platforms, but if I don't rent EC2s (which I take to mean what you meant by "VMs"), how do I host and serve bespoke backend components? Even if all it does is suck data in,

This feels like the best advice in this thread. Two questions: 1. What are your refresh tactics and any advice for what makes a good refresh? 2. What strategic advice would you give for preparing for that mid-life break?

This isn't available across most of the world. Also would this work if you try going from say, Swedish citizen/bank to German citizen/bank?

Has the network launched? Is the community active? Haven't heard much of anything tangible since they raised funding. Unfortunately Ethereum is still the leading layer 0 product for a world super computer.

SEC commissioner has alluded to the idea of a three year safe harbor for crypto tokens followed by a whole lot of regulation enforcement that would greatly open the door for these types of activities.

Technically the blockchain that would be referred to in the GP is more than just a data type. It would also include the algorithm for deciding the next block of valid transactions. I think the reference is supposed to imply that the consens

This is a great point too. There is always two sides to this story and often the other side is the budgeting office. Its difficult to see all perspectives in organizations and operations as complex as this. That's generally why managem

Who would you point out as a steelman? I'd love to find a proper, thorough critic of the Austrian school.

It's a fair question. The answer is that systems like this - that are real in their offering and not a pipe dream - are not promoting to replace traditional databases. Blockchain is a terrible term with tons of baggage so let me descri

This is awesome content. Any chance you have a book you could recommend on this subject?

This makes no sense to me. The clear answer is that is unfair for our system to pay critical employees so poorly. The federal sector can't compete with the private sector on value fulfillment - and that is a major problem, not a featur

To me, the War of Art has an interesting perspective and take on this problem. It approaches the issue of "creating art" by viewing it not as a simplistic problem, but a very deep, innate, almost spiritual issue. And thus it takes

I would take it a step further. What you're talking about is incremental improvements to traditional services or products. What the poster above you is getting at, whether they realize it or not, is that they are trying to identify mar

I want to call out this attitude as incredibly entitled and related to the exact root cause of all the open-source drama we've been seeing lately.

Bitcoin maximalism is a distracting and inept attempt at making something, that is no more than a conspiracy theory, the fundamental basis of a "next-gen" financial system.
