People are rushing to do CDO-squared (collateralized debt obligation from 2006) type financial products using stable coins. And one company has already created an ETF product linked to an on-chain CDO-style debt product. I think the financi

Is there an open LSP standard that allows IDEs like Lazyvim to work?

Ecommerce of millions of people are facing a huge disruption. Think of Brexit. Commerce still happens between the UK and Europe, but there is a massive show-stopping level of friction now because people need to do Customs. That is a lot o

The current system was up for debate in the last election. Feels over reals got us this result where Republicans specifically in Congress refuse to step in to stop the President from violating the emoluments clause, tax authority, and impou

My middle school 7th grade civics class told me that this conversation happens in Congress in Congressional hearings. I get to hear my Rep ask questions. There is a Congressional research office that acts as a kind of neutral arbiter of tr

This situation feels dumb. I feel like I am watching idiots cheer on someone doing parkor and that person getting his teeth smashed on a wall. Like, what is the point?

Are there going to be Congressional hearings at least where Citizens can see a debate with witnesses testifying under oath? Will the Congressional research office publish statistics and data we can read together to debate? Or will some bac

Voters in Red states destroyed any motivation by foreign companies to build factories there (tariffs) and Democrats to focus infrastructure spending there (CHIPS, IRA being worthless in getting votes). And now Republicans are ok with impoun

Just to add: what about the part where a single person is dictating taxes on American companies? That does not seem to phase that many people in the tech space... And what leverage did the administration illegally (without Congressional au

Sarah Williams (forgot the name) testified in US Congress as to Facebooks strategies on handling governments. Based on her book, it seems Brazil has been the most effective out of major democratic governments in confronting Facebook. Of co

I know in the p2p space, peers have to send lots of small pieces of data. QUIC stops stream blocking on a single packet delay.

You have never been accosted by police and assumed to be a criminal, especially in a country foreign to where you live? I think this experience would shed light on your question. ICE is different from other police agencies. The "punis

I understand the sentiment. However, I as an individual do have some power in this world, even if it is fleeting power. I am sure at some point you have some power too. Just use that moment to make up the difference. For the good of societ

I take it as a P = NP problem. I either: a. spend money on a person and take money and time to specify the business problem to this person and take money and time to judge the results b. skip the person and just use the AI itself The differ

I find people relying way too much on AI tools. If I pay someone a salary, they need to understand the actually answer the give me. And their butt needs to be on the line if the answer is wrong. That is the purpose of them getting a sala

The dollar was strong, interest rates low, inflation rate competitively low (compare with other countries). The deficit just means the US government should collect more taxes and cut spending. Efficiency efforts should have gone towards ne

I believe politicians in the EU are chomping at the bit to get a digital services tax implemented against US big tech companies. I think Silicon Valley tech titans really screwed the pooch here. They are going to be big targets for trade r

Is anyone migrating away from microservice architecture back to just big box single monolith blob like back in the 1990s/2000s? I really liked using Hetzner and pure metal. The only real hold-back I have from switching from Google is

I did compliance for a fintech under heavy regulation. If we used AWS, we could skip months of certification. If we use a custom data center, we have to certify it ourselves (muuuuuch more expensive). From this standpoint, cloud beats on-p

Oh, this is great. I just did an implementation in gRPC in Go whereby I had to churn through 10MB/s of data. I could not implement any kind of memory pool and thus I had a lot of memory allocation issues which lead to bad memory usag

Is anyone here using Lazyvim? I switched to this from VS code and it feels much more productive and lightweight on my computer. I never got into VIM before until I saw some Youtube personality using Lazyvim.

My ISP no longer allows port-forwarding of ipv4 addresses as 1 public ip is shared amongst many ISP customers. This is due to a migration to MAP-E. IPV6 is pretty much my only choice for hosting stuff in offices and at home. Is MAP-E becom

I am guessing countries subject to tariffs will retaliate by making FANG's life hard.

My ISP gave us MAP-E when we upgraded the bandwidth. We lost the ability to port forward ipv4, so we were forced to switch everything to ipv6.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the miracle called Lazyvim (terminal based IDE). Once you go lazy, you don’t come back. I can’t stand vs code now. The mouse even works in Lazyvim.
