I don’t agree here. A web application API, properly documented and exposed to any client a participant wants to use becomes a protocol for that service, there’s no difference between CalDAV and the Google Calendar web app’s API except that

Certainly any company that relies on “safe harbor” style protections or sells online services (alone or bundled with software) as a subscription should be required to fully open and document the protocol.

by barnabee 6y ago
Forcing the protocol to be open and documented and free for any user that can use the official site/client to connect to doesn’t have to mean forcing a standard. You might want to require o rubies compatibility with old versions and d

No. Stealing implies taking something and depriving its oriignal owner of it not copying against the wishes of the creator. Whatever piracy is, it isn't theft.

In the UK we do the tech and the finance in the same city. My observation is based on over a decade working on trading and settlement systems at multiple major international banks, exchanges. The infra is creaking at the sides, it is too ex

These are terrible reasons. Time to process the trade should be zero if systems are designed properly. If you need to borrow cash to trade you should do it first, etc. If some participants want to stay slow, bear more risk, require more cap

If the EU contractually agreed to use the UK sites to produce vaccines for the EU on a best efforts basis but they also contractually agreed to prioritise delivery to the UK when they signed with them months earlier (which seems likely to b

Full disclosure: we're building a protocol for better decentralised markets, which is not susceptible to this kind of exploitation [1]. The thing where the “market” smart contract will just take the money and blindly trade at ever more

Aside: on iOS the default camera app doesn’t do document scanning but the Files app does (it’s an option under the menu on the browse tab). Took me ages to discover that, still not sure how long it’s been there.

3) those who believe BTC is likely to be a pretty good store of value regardless of whether (1) happens or not and include it in their portfolios on the belief that it will therefore not lose value vs cash (fiat) and may well increase in pr

Seconded! The Vufine+ [1] is about the best option I’ve found so far. It works and is a standard HDMI display but it’s really small in your vision (so need v large font sizes), has quite a lot kind of obstructive stuff from the casing etc.

Neat! I’d sign up if there was an option to throw a few bucks your way and have absolutely guaranteed zero tracking, ads, or sharing/use of my data for anything other than what’s strictly necessary to run the site itself.

On iOS, if it’s deprecated, what’s the replacement for Hangouts for normal users? As far as I know there isn’t one. There are people I message with Hangouts pretty regularly and it’s never told me it’s deprecated or suggested anything else

Honestly I don’t mind this. Ads for free video hosting is a fair offer and at least one can buy ad-free YouTube. Of course I’d love YouTube and thus Google’s ad empire to not be so dominant, but to the extent that that is fine, this is fine

Perhaps less (or similar) lawmaking power, but the President of the US leads an entire branch of government which comes with a significant amount of power in its own right.

by barnabee 6y ago
The US president has far more power than the UK Prime Minister, who only leads their party and requires MPs to vote for anything they want to do, as Boris Johnson discovered last year when he failed to get his plans through parliament multi

The air pollution they cause for passengers and the inhabitants of towns and cities they visit is particularly atrocious. Searching the web for “cruise ship air pollution” turns up plenty on that front.

by barnabee 6y ago
Not sure why this is downvoted, I 100% agree that cruise ships and the industry are an unsustainable scourge on the planet. Good riddance.

Great summary of one of the major problems with trading (and related financial activities) on public blockchains. The root of this particular issue is that transactions are not processed sequentially but ordered by how much someone is willi

Agree! Can't speak highly enough of Regolith. I'd actually somewhat given up trying to keep i3 working nicely and reverted to XFCE (which is at least far less obnoxious then Gnome 3) until I discovered Regolith and have been using

I'm not from the US, and I think this is valid basically anywhere, although the lack of rail infrastructure in the states makes this perhaps particularly appealing. The basic logic is two-fold: First, it's much faster, cheaper,

Electric aircraft for shorter trips instead of trains. The battery energy density still needs to improve somewhat but that is happening. They’d allow for serving more direct (point to point) routes than trains as the infrastructure cost is

I currently get by on Linux by syncing my 1Password vault and reimporting it to KeepassXC every time I need a newly added or updated entry. Annoying to have to create new entries on another devices and sync when I need an account on Linux b

Just a thought but if big tech that controls entire markets is bad now (apparently some law makers seem to think so), maybe don’t let this happen.
