I never encountered a broken ice cream machine in McD, nor i know anyone who did. I do live in Europe though.

Poland has a neat system - you input one time code into the sellers payment processor, and then you get to confirm the payment in your app. Code is one time use, valid for 2 minutes - and you can see all the details in the confirmation that

Atlassian is Australian company. Australia has very weird and wide reaching laws regarding software backdoors.

I was frustrated immensely due to that. I could fetch the objects in bulk request.. except they didn't have the field i needed when fetched in bulk. So i had to do bulk fetch, where each object was pretty big and then fetch them again

Definitely not over here in this post-communist country, and there are few standardized tests - most are invention of a teacher so good luck 'finding' them beforehand.

This wasn't about shipments, but about either transaction log, or property deed ownership system controlled by government.

I'm talking about how fast the ownership of stocks change, not the volatility of a specific stock - hence it was about scalability only.

as i said - I'm more interested in a immutability of the whole chain, without any backdoors to modify old data because - speaking form experience - that leads to way more problems when dealing with local governments.

Eastern european country, as i'm proposing a solution for problems that happen over here. We, thankfully, do not operate under Common Law.

Quite frankly yes. Because in most cases, speaking from experience, after model change they will be using a new model without doing proper conversion of old data. This happened to cadastral data over here - new schema required some fields e

As i said - over here, not in USA. we use completely different system. There is a central record for each separate local government(located at the regional judicial office), with copies being sent to up the chain. But the thing is - over he

In local laws over here only the current state of deed book matters. Whatever gets there, input by trusted and certified notary, IS the current legal standard of law. No exceptions. If legal proceeding happens that wants to restore ownershi

If you read closely i'm proposing government use only, where each governing body participating in the system has access to it. You can keep compute systems down - i'm more interested in immutability and distributed nature than the

It actually solves it quite well. It enforces you to input it properly, and not do half assed job due to immutability, because whatever you input in there will stay there, attached with credentials/metadata of whoever entered it. Curre

I would say that modern forms of telemetry(some game companies used literal rootkits!) would be considered malware/adware 15 years ago. Try to find me a modern closed source program, with big userbase without such telemtry.

Oh there are games where input latency does not matter. You can usually run them on toaster too. You can make amazing AI that beats humans 100% of time pretty easily, the hard part is making it challenging enough for people to have chance t

It is, as it is input latency stacked on top of display latency, stacked on top of internet latency! Not to mention that 100ms of latency in TVs is constant usually, it isn't the case with network latency.

by Xelbair 6y ago
Well to be fair Stadia was an idiotic project that was doomed to fail due to physical constraints(getting sub 80ms latency, and that's VERY generous for input latency that people are used to), which are unsolvable. No ML does not fix t

Yeah, you cannot confirm those yourself - so what do sane people do? they consult the experts. The Sea of human knowledge is too vast for any single human to traverse it fully. But here you have people who are anti-experts, who are matched
