This is the kind of proactive action that delivers change, but it takes time and effort. For some inspiration here are 2 videos about how Amsterdam people relentlessly fought to bring change and transformation to the city, to make it more h

Government valuation is probably higher than the actual price that the house would get on the market. Add to that all the red tape involved in selling the house.

Estonia, while a little obscure, has great facilities for interacting with the government, and a very straightforward tax code. They have one of the most modern governments in Europe, with which you can interact fully digitally by using a d

I think Fiske met that constructive criticism with negative hyperbole and vague counter arguments that were not on point. People protect their vested interests and status quo by praying on people's decency and politeness, but ignore th

No wonder why people are voting with the Trumps and Farages of the world. Natural self correcting behaviour in an entrenched and corrupt system. When so many institutions and people are behaving in this manner there must be some kind of cor

Can you point to a link to the patent or article talking about it? Thanks

I agree. I am a small business owner in Europe and it pains me to see the big guys getting away scot free without paying taxes while we are scrutinised over every cent. Even the NS, the Dutch national railway (semi-public) is using Ireland

Of course the S&P 500 has been growing, central banks are buying stocks left and right. What's worth mentioning is that both governments and companies have massively increased their debt during that period, so its really hard to ju

Do you think Hashicorp's Raft implementation is the best among the Go implementations? Just curious what is the perception among Raft users.

Remember what happened to the Greek referendum lead by the Syriza government in 2015? People voted something and the government did the exact opposite. No wonder people are voting more and more with extreme right parties.

I don't think kernels are inherently less secure than hypervisors, but as they stand, current hypervisor implementations have a better security track record than kernels. The basic point that I am trying to make is that both hypervisor

by lifty 10y ago
Hypervisors offer decent security and performance guarantees, which means they are good for sharing resources among potentially hostile customers. Their simple resource semantics and small ABI makes for a fairly secure abstraction.

excuse my ignorance, but could you elaborate a bit on that.

Your observation about clients requiring more and more logic (e.g. discovery, reconnecting, timeout, etc) is spot on. It is a pretty big overhead and teams that are building an architecture based on micro-services should be prepared to pay

Indeed. The machines that do the actual work will still use a an inaccurate clock and get periodic corrective updates. That being said, you should be able to get a much higher precision using PTP and some decent network cards. There are ple

I am suspicious of their motives. They say it's to curb illicit trade using anonymous cash but I'm suspecting they will like the side effects of removing cash. People wouldn't be able to do bank runs as easily which would giv

Can you please explain how you reached that conclusion? What made you exclude US and UK?

Yes, I've heard similar stories from various people. I guess you have to be very insistent and convincing to your GP when you feel ill, or else you risk delaying a proper diagnostic. On the bright side, the Dutch hospitals have a great

This is similar to how the Dutch system works. You normally go to your GP which will refer you to a specialist if required. The problem is that they always want to try a simple treatment first, without investigating thoroughly the causes of

If you use brew, its straightforward. Check this link https://github.com/neovim/homebrew-neovim/blob/master/README...

Indeed you can cobble together such a solution, but baked in integration at the framework level would be more interesting. If state is exposed at the scheduler level, than its much easier for all scheduler frameworks to take advantage of it

I am looking forward to the day when Mesos(or any other PaaS software) will be able to use Ceph to save application(app/container/vm) state. In such a setup applications could move around the compute cluster without loosing state.

I think Nomad aims to be similarly flexible in the type of resources it can manage.

Indeed, there are many things that could be improved about the current system. I am personally hoping that the uptake in ad blocking software will lead publishers to diversify their revenue streams and find better ways to monetize their con

by lifty 11y ago
Theoretically, you could shift the responsibility of displaying ads and tracking users to the publishers, with requirements to publish back to the ad networks granular information about every impression. The ad networks could then check for

I think that starting with a microservice architecure in a small team will incur high initial costs, especially if the team follows modern development approaches like continuous integration/deployment. Moving a monolith through a testi

I think your wording is a bit harsh. You should tone down your feedback so people can improve and not get demotivated.

Can you explain why? I agree with their stystem but I think that any system that gives direct voting power has to solve issues like vote selling and engagement. I think both should be introduced in the system as explicit economic incentives
