DPRK uses SSL and PGP. Should we sanction those code bases as well?

Have you ever tried to make a wire transfer on a weekend? Having access to your money outside of banking hours is just one of many use cases I can think of off the top of my head.

Weighing in on things you have no experience with is a Dunning-Kruger News… er, I mean Hacker News pastime.

It’s the opposite. Large companies love regulation as it creates extra costs and hurdles for smaller startups that might out-compete them otherwise. Regulation secures incumbent power.

Yep. Duplicating the data model on the client and server is just one example of the insanity. I could go on, but that’s for another day.

??? XSS has long been a solved problem. Security is definitely not an argument for using front end JS frameworks as they add attack vectors and complication to the stack.

Not OP, but front end JavaScript frameworks are the first thing that comes to mind as an inefficient antipattern that was forced into the dev mindshare by (effective) mega-cap marketing and jr devs who didn’t know any better.

I will dispute that. It's a privacy tool. Just because you don't want the world to know what you spent your money on, doesn't mean you are doing anything illegal.

Any constitutional law experts care to comment? If the US government put pressure on Github to remove the code and delete their accounts, it seems like a clear violation of the developer's first amendment rights – "code is speech&

Taking quite the liberty with the term “science” eh? But then again, I’m a “stupid westerner”. The scientific method isn’t a western creation or anything like that…

Short selling wasn’t the issue in this case. It was loaning out shares to short that straight up didn’t exist.

I’ve worked with full stack Rails for 10+ years. Built and sold two startups of my own, and wrote the code for two others that were acquired, among other things. I have a ton of practical experience on the topic.

This is the opposite of my experience. Docker is a headache to work with for zero tangible benefit. It slows development down by adding an unnecessary layer to the stack.

The time it takes to learn no-code tools, you could have just learned to code.

That is entirely your subjective opinion. I think the exact opposite – that Bitcoin is one of the most positive for humanity, world changing inventions ever created.

Significantly (incomparably) less factoring all the elements in traditional finance and the military industrial complex used to secure it. PoW mining energy consumption is massively exaggerated. Christmas lights alone use more energy than t

Washing machines alone across the U.S. use more electricity than the entire Bitcoin network, just to put things in perspective.

Anyone who doesn't fall in line and support the "current thing" is labeled a far-right extremist these days. Ironically, they do this even to people with traditionally liberal views like free speech being a good thing, like

I've said the same for years. Most blockchain ideas could be better solved with a traditional database, or simple cryptographic signatures. However, the killer app for blockchain already exists... currency. The societal benefits and i

Generating a new public key doesn't add data to the blockchain. Only when you sign a transaction. And if you're talking identities, as in moving around websites, there's no way to link your various public addresses (logins) u
