Well, they tried. For a very long time they asked people to donate. They even tried to gamify it with reddit gold and the like. I suspect it just didn't work.

Hardware is a high cost if you're using current gen mining hardware to be competitive. If power is essentially "free" (since you'd use it anyway for heat), then even very old mining hardware would have a net posi

While I don't disagree, if people at the time had assumed that everyone on the network could be trusted (forever), why design the IPv4 address space to make room for 4 billion devices? Why support so many ports and concurrent connectio

I've used Lenovo laptops almost exclusively for the past 5 years (coming from a Dell XPS 13). I've had a X1 Carbon, an X1 Yoga, a couple of T4xx, and now a P1 Gen3. All of my lenovos were awesome. None of them had real issue. I lo

As another generalist that enjoys occasional (very) deep dives but never gets tied down to one platform/tool/skill/problem set - being a good jack of all trades is it's own special skill, and it is quite rare. Small and

I agree. I think the next big shift will be a fairly big one, not an incremental step. Personally, my money is on Phoenix LiveView - the syntax and concepts aren't super familiar, but the benefits of no longer having to build a lot of

How much latency and inconsistency can you live with? Could you dump full or incremental database backups from your secure enclave, upload them to blobs and ingest on the cloud? Could you publish a change feed of sorts to Kafka and apply ch

PaaS and managed services let you trade money for time and effort - patch management, backups, security, config optimization, simplified scale-out/availability/etc. all take time, effort and skill to get right and keep running wel

If you want your guard node to be helpful in anonymizing your traffic, you should really make sure it's public and used by some % of the global user base (so that your traffic blends in the noise). Once you do that though, you will alw

I would argue that this person is not a great hire for you then. If they cannot contribute to something you actually need, how could them bring awesome at something else help? Imagine a different situation - there's a fellow engineer w

I'd argue that they invested way too much into Google+ actually. They tried forcing it on everyone, almost killing the YouTube community in the process, and people started fighting back. Facebook didn't gain its users overnight an

Exactly. This is a point everyone seems to gloss over but is fundamental to the entire concept of using biometrics.

That could work for Tuvalu, but I hope you realize that if everyone just used that solution to address the sea-level rise due to global warming, you'd end up greatly accelerating both global warming and sea level rise...

There are a couple of amazing talks by Dan North, where one of the ideas he shares is that the entire idea of technical debt is wrong - it implies that "good" code a team produced is an asset and "bad" code is debt, and

I agree with your point, but I've personally also experienced the reverse as well - having very difficult constraints while being extremely motivated and well funded has often resulted in extremely innovative solutions. All of my exam

I'll provide my own anecdote - I was a part of a team that ended up choosing a document-store for a small service that services ~500 users (total, concurrent figure is far lower), where writes are uncommon, and where we ended up buildi

That sort of reasoning (MAD) works great against Russia during the cold war. It is less robust once you factor in rogue and non-rational adversaries. I'm no saying you're wrong, but the risk from these actors isn't truly miti

You're correct - no rational actor would attack the US. Now, if only I could trust that there would always only be rational actors I could sleep well at night.

I agree, but this only helps if they're actually going after someone they charge with something. If they are merely violating your rights but don't charge you, this would have little to no impact on police wrongdoing.

I hope you understand that enriching Uranium isn't as simple as "spinning natural uranium in a tube". The Manhattan project used multiple different processes at the time, simply because time was of the essence and they didn&

Just making sure - you're using js source maps, right? The minifaction should be adding significant pain in your debugging process.

Sorry, but as a person with over 15 years of motorcycle driving experience - "loud pipes save lives" is mostly a myth. They may help sometimes, but they can also be dangerous since in some settings they can scare the heck out of t

I would tend to think the opposite would be true - having many smaller reactors would currently require multiplying the number of controlled sites, each requiring security, redundant cooling and safety systems, emergency power, nuclear wast

This is really cool. Any plans for HTTPS support? This could be a really powerful tool for network based reverse engineering (even more so if there was support for predefined request-response pairs so more elaborate cases cou
