> So far he has managed the situation fantastically. Indeed, Putin is a master strategist: - All countries are scared of joining NATO now, Baltic states regret joining NATO. - Same for EU, nobody wants to join now, especially not Ukraine

I've worked with CVS, Subversion, Bazaar, Visual SourceSave, Team Foundation Version Control, Mercurial and Git. The worst systems are the Microsoft ones, but the one with the most complex interface is definitely Git. I would argue it

For me it's not about when life begins, but more about how to prevent most of the suffering.

For me it's pretty simple: what causes the least suffering. Don't act that an unwanted child will have a great life. Most sane countries have sane rules related to abortions. But I guess some people still hang on to an imaginary s

For me, I have an electric standing desk from IKEA, and a FlowFitness walking pad. Very pleased with that, since I can fold it and roll it out of the way with the wheels, once I want to sit down. https://www.flowfitness.com/

I'm doing the same thing, but only walk in the afternoon about 1 hour. It makes a difference indeed. Reading, typing and using the mouse is not as difficult as you would think. For hard problems I also need to sit down (that's why

IE users are now complaining that your site doesn't work. Like I said, stability.

The obvious ones: Typescript + eslint + jest + Selenium. More complexity, high return on investment. The non obvious ones: Without babel you are either writing legacy JavaScript (which is arguably not as clean and easy to read), or users wi

You are free to develop everything in vanilla JavaScript and run your coded scripts straight in the browser. Very non-complex. But the team that uses npm, babel, webpack etc will crush you both on development speed and stability.

I think you can allocate 1 to 5% of your investment money into more risky bets. I did with crypto and was lucky enough to do very well. If I lost my 1%, that was part of the game. The benefit/risk at the time was worth it. But even the

Ah come on, you can run a node for $20 a month, that's way cheaper for an entreprise than sharing revenue with a payment processor. Running a node is dirt cheap, because a transaction is dirt cheap at 0.000112 kWh per transaction. htt

Lots of Open Source projects rely on volunteering one way or another. I think projects where everything is publicly available, have the least risk to disappear. If you want it, you can just run it. There is of course always a cost for a tra

I get it that you are sceptical. But you probably haven't looked at how Nano works. It's 100% distributed and is battle tested in practice. The biggest challenge they had was protecting against spam. But a few releases back they s

As stated by Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropayment ): "One problem that has prevented the emergence of micropayment systems is a need to keep costs for individual transactions low,[2] which is impra

Why are you proposing solutions that work badly or might work in the future? I gave you a solution that works today . Like I said: sub-second, 0 fee transactions (using Nano). Would love to see any of your traditional systems do better. Ca

If you want to read my article, you can pay me 0.001 Nano (sub-second, 0 fee transaction), or you can pay me $0.001. Oh no wait, you can't pay me $0.001!

This, and especially when you have a new person in the team that needs to dig through the code. function myFunction(user, security) { } good luck finding out what user and security actually is. In static typing, it's all there.

Your simple theory can also be applied to stocks. Easy! I'm guessing you must be a multimillionaire by now. Strange that nobody else came up with this simple solution: buy low, sell high. Incredible! And here I am, an idiot investing i

Bitcoin has the name, which is used a lot as a synonym for cryptocurrency. Don't underestimate the branding power of such a marketing position (Same like Cleanex & Coca-Cola)

The original comment is still valid: why is the drop in Bitcoin on the top page of HN, and the drop of GOOG not?

That is the difference between you and me. I can see both your worldview and mine, but you can only see yours. I know your worldview because that's the old me. Here is a challenge: try to imagine a world where bullets are an asset. A w

All your questions are answered with "you hold". When I buy a house in Dubai with bitcoin, there is no fiat involved. I receive the house, they receive the bitcoin. Simple. You could call this selling your bitcoin, but in the same

So you claim this was the top? I claim there will be an even higher top. Let's see who's right. > If the former then they haven't gained anything yet Any asset has risk, including fiat. So no, they did gain already. Or do

Not convinced about that. I'm sure the ones who gained the most are the ones who just HODLed.
