As I mentioned in another thread, this is where MobileCoin excels. I encourage people to give it a try. The only problem right now is buying the MobileCoin in the first place. I live in the U.S. and the process was, uh, sketchy at best. But

There are basically two compelling reasons to use a privacy coin: - You are doing something illegal and don't want to get caught. - Powerful actors in the economy are abusing their power, and you want to avoid/prevent that abuse.

It doesn't mean that at all. When we need one feature we write it, rather than exposing the 1000 features of an open-source library to the internet when we only need one feature. We won't write it ourselves if we aren't sure

I have a very simple solution, in three parts: 1) We use very few dependencies. We err on the side of writing our own function, library, or UI component rather than installing a new dependency, even if a "better" open-source versi

Right. It's not the paper or stone tablets that ever made any changes. It was the people willing to do it in the real world. So the point is that blockchains don't open up any new possibilities that weren't there before. Peop

The woman's reaction to feeling patronized is a valid one. But at the same time, I think we probably want to make room for this kind of content online. The internet is so full of hatred and vitriol. I had to leave Instagram because I c

Anyone have advice for creating easy-to-use-yet-secure login solutions for users who are less tech-literate? My company is an ISP, and most of our customers are not very "good" at using technology. Any yet, they do sometimes want

I have been doing things the same way for a while. In my RPC API everything is POST (even for "getting" something), and everything returns 200. I don't like the design of REST. I don't think status codes should have mean

One of my favorite games ever was Journey, and what I loved most about it was how communication worked. The game was online-multiplayer, where two players would work their way through a series of puzzle-like rooms together. But they would m

I upvoted you because I appreciate the point you're trying to make. But also: if you're fighting code for an hour without reading the error message, you need to train yourself to start reading those messages right away! This is on

Yes. The biggest problem for me is getting people to read the contents of my emails. There's nothing more infuriating than trying to get an answer to a nuanced question, only to be met with a response which doesn't actually pertai

I think there is a stroke of brilliance in this. I don’t know about asking a coding question in-person, but I think it would work well for “take home” interview questions. If you’re really interested in a company, but they insist you do a t

It’s probably worded that way because traffic cones confused a Waymo self-driving car, and then things got worse.

Or, Coinbase's statement that it "sources its information from public sources" is misleading. After all, the blockchain does not provide geolocation data. So what public source would that come from? That's why this artic

Are you amazed that the people who use the software you build use it without understanding the underlying data model? Probably not, because you understand that the reason you make software for them is so they can use it, instead of manually

Is there a way to tell, from Javascript, what kind of authentication the user is going to be doing? Do I have to tell my users "Login with webauthn" (which none of them will ever do), or can I say "Login with FaceID" by

If you're having this problem, your first step is to get the recruiter out of the process. Start screening all resumes yourself. I've had some bad experiences with recruiters, both in-house and otherwise, and I feel they usually g

I see what you’re going for, but I agree the article snippets are a poor design choice. I keep losing context while trying to read the article. The article blocks feel like section breaks, but they’re not. There are already links in the par

Maybe I am getting this wrong, but I think the reason you're being redirected through so many sites is because they're not using third-party cookies. They have to redirect you through each domain so that they can all set their o

Does anyone else sense a huge disconnect here, or is it just me? When the iPhone came out it was completely obvious how great it was. Sure there were naysayers, but they were a vocal minority predicting Apple’s impending bankruptcy while th
