Disclaimer: I may be completely wrong, but I don't think OP is saying that while writing normal ObjC that you need to write the message passing in assembly. Instead, that you could recreate ObjC in regular C but you would have to use a

For those of us who have used the internet 1989 to present, and who are dubious anytime we are told government is taking broad sweeping actions to "protect" us. Please explain the need for this regulation to exist. 1. Please defin

Agree. There is actually a pre-existing, low-tech solution to 90% of these issues: Use a Public Notary to verify identity. Company sends document with unique barcode to person they are trying to verify. Person takes to local UPS store and h

You have that backwards. Its primarily through gov favor (ILEC / CLEC / etc) - the structural factors are a by-product of their monopoly status not a cause.

I just had a case where I was locked out of an account because their backend couldn't send 2FA auth code to my phone. In order to unlock my account, they wanted me to provide "scanned copy of official ID", I refused. The basi

As DennisP said, yes there are mechanisms to ensure date is agreed upon. Your question of "consensus" brings up other interesting points. I think an increasingly valuable service in a new smart-contract world will be to have an &q

Some of the use cases can be fairly simple (thus easier to see the value). 1. Me and You start a company together. We would like to split things 50/50. We setup an address such that when values are paid to it, half goes to you, half go

Your assumption is that the overhead is only a "one-time cost", but its never going to be that simple. Most of the time there are a multiplicity of overlapping cost; Opportunity cost (you have your money safely in a tax-haven, but

The funny thing is, if the tax rate was much lower - say 15% - there would be no incentive for "tax planning" described in article (which is legal, of course). The expense for all those accountants, lawyers, lobbyist, and ineffici

Yes, its funny but I think of python itself as an exceptional good "prototyping" language. Thats not to say it can't be used in production, but I think the real power of python comes from its ability to go from 0-100 in a ver

To be honest, I didn't even watch the last product launch. I almost thought it was a mistake when I checked the website later that day and saw both 8 and X iPhones? What a way to confuse your market. Right now on apple.com you can buy

In a sense both Jobs and Gates were "visionary" leaders who both had tremendous "operation" #2's to back them up. In both cases, the No. 2's were natural shoe-ins by the board, and in both cases the operations

Not related to supply chain, but when my current iPhone 6s is paid off I will probably look for 6s Plus. The lack of headphone jack really is a deal killer for me...I have no desire to complicate my life by carrying, charging, and managing

The 7 TPS claim is an apples-to-oranges comparison. You must remember that Bitcoin transactions are "settled" in that 7 TPS timescale, whereas VISA transactions are merely "recorded" in their 50K TPS rate. In reality, it
