Why should every website have the same UI? I'm tired of the same discussion again and again on HN. Javascript bad. Anything but #000 text on #fff bad. CSS and animations?! Fuggedaboutit. If it's not free range, handcrafted HTML, I

How does it work with institutional investors? Like, do Vanguard and Blackrock get to assign a board member each to serve their interests indirectly? Perhaps that explains why.

This is what lobbying in America _really_ looks like, sneaking in random shit into bills. I'm sure the coconut water lobbying group (never thought I'd say that phrase) worked its ass off for this. Time to pop the coconut water fla

This probably sounds like an insanely dumb idea to crypto people, but is it absolutely infeasible to reverse transactions when there's consensus that it's a hack? The TX fees need not be reversed (consider it to be a small price t

JITs can sometimes be faster than compiled binaries because they have runtime information, but realistically it's probably because Mojang has had years and years to optimise.

Tangential but IMO it's almost always better to generate the private key off-device and store it somewhere securely. It doesn't matter when the Yubikey gets lost because you'll be revoking the GPG key, but when you accidental

My point is that throughout is likely not the bottleneck in SWIFT (300 messages/sec is quite small). Why design a solution that can handle 900k messages/sec to solve a problem that likely doesn't exceed 1k messages/sec?

You're missing my point. I'm trying to say the system needs to handle more than 300 messages/sec. I know there is significant traffic from those countries. I'm from one of those countries. If you had to pick a peak (and
