We can discuss proper taxation of things all day, but in the end it's way faster to simply outlaw the outliers of wastefulness. And I'm sorry but a "currency" which uses multiple countries worth of energy for a handful o

For large cars and subsidized air travel I absolutely agree. The rest has value. Unlike cryptocurrency.

Shutting down cryptocurrencies so the planet can live a bit longer sounds really good.

I think he means web 3.0 as a semantic followup to web 2.0, and not the useless crap that cryptobros want to push as "web3".

It's just that there is nothing of value in regards to blockchain or smart contracts. They are a solution in search for a nonexistent problem, while heating up the planet.

If it forces Mozilla (the corp) to abandon their stupid side projects and refocus on developing Firefox, I'm all for a huge budget cut.

I use CLion on Ubuntu and it's an absolute joy to use. Debugger is absolutely on par with VS in my opinion - and if you are missing something, gdb is always avaliable within a terminal.

I have a recent AMD GPU and CPU, which I bought because of AMD's GPU drivers being part of the kernel. I have absolutely no problems with my PC running Ubuntu, it's rock solid and I can play almost any game on Steam via Proton - a

Hetzner is just an example - you can get cheap dedicated boxes with gigabit uplinks all over the world. And in this example it's not even important what latency the server has, since it was only feeding Cloudflares CDN with data.

Can somebody explain to me why I wouldn't just rent a 40 EUR dedicated server from Hetzner with unlimited traffic and gigabit uplink? His 600GB/day is way less than what you get over a gigabit link within a day. Sure, sudden burst

...which is why nobody in their right mind would buy anything "smart" that can't be modified to be dumb.

Nowadays, it would be a 100MB Electron application that needs 300MB ram and an 4 core cpu to display a single window. Progress!

I agree with you, been doing the same thing. I can rsync my text file to backup it, I can version it, I can view it in around 5 seconds within my terminal, and it's private to me personally. This "everything-needs-to-be-a-website&

No - anonymous accounts are good for privacy. If you're contributing information about something, having that information index-able is just common sense.

Because governments need to make decisions which hopefully benefit a large amount of people. Banning Bitcoin mining is one of those.

Which isn't quite unfounded since the CopperheadOS guy literally booted him out of their first company and has since then AFAIK simply copied from GrapheneOS while running sleazy marketing. May be wrong on the copying part - please cor

Actually, I wish all of the internet had the simplicity and no-bullshit approach to information consumption that HN offers. RSS, simple login, text based - it's ideal.

There is absolutely nothing worth looking at with regards to cryptocurrency/blockchain junk.

I would be have been pretty sad to hear that so much enthusiasm to improve the product resulted in problems regarding your career. That's promotion material, in my book. Glad it worked out.

Your examples are, in my opinion, poorly chosen - the only ones of relevance are the seatbelt and the smoking ones, since those actually can harm others. And in these cases, there have been laws put in place to limit other people's e

Wouldn't this imply that the vaccine is physically harmful to you? There is literally no argument against it if you don't imply that. Do you think it is? I am really interested to discuss this with somebody who isn't a conspi

Can you give an example? I was under the impression that they are very liberal with forks. Signal, on the other hand...

But, I mean, it's true. The internet would be a better place if it consisted only of POST/GET and static html/css. Javascript made the web shit.

I can get all the things you stated, including "unlimited" bandwidth for a few bucks a month if I just rent a VPS. I never understood the flocking to AWS. Does nobody like running a server anymore?

Why so sad, that sounds like a huge improvement over webdev. Modern C++ is a joy to work with.

I seriously fail to see the relationship here. Please explain?
