Lots of people seem to think this is only about data. The real risk is if trump says "ok, switch off the clouds for Europe" Europe has no choice but to create its own subsidised cloud and mandate its use.

Everyone knows spinning things up is a piece of piss. It's the on-going maintenance and economies of scale that aren't. Not to mention migration, compliance, etc

I really wouldn't bother if you're targetting non-tech users.

> Crypto provides the exact opposite value: it cannot be controlled, no matter how robust your power structure is. It can be insured, at a significant cost, but not controlled. This is such a naive claim parroted by crypto enthusiasts. L

They're probably just saying that to avoid a run.

They've seen other people make loads of money (or maybe made a load themselves) and are still in the game hoping to make loads more.

But they still don't care about your stack. They care that you made something slow. Fix that however you like but don't pretend your non-technical users directly care that you used go vs java or whatever. The only time that's

Then drop the words fanny and rubber into conversations with each for some puzzled expressions. Ironically, you'd use an American rubber with a British fanny.

I don't buy the propaganda angle, but why bother hacking when companies will happily upload their sensitive data to you.

Yes, that's why we read decent journalism that includes the opinions of experts. MS are still saying production use is pretty far off.

It's pretty obvious isn't it? Trump stacked the Supreme Court the first time round which turned out to be the best thing he ever did. Now they'll control payments to defund opponents as well as sacking anyone who doesn't

Before the courts can catch up, they lose power in the Senate or those affected can organise. There's also something to be said for disorienting your opponents. Plus it gets things done faster without dragging it out. It's wins al

The Mump playbook relies on wild exaggeration. In this case Musk reckons he can save $2tn which some (better informed) analysts are saying is bollocks. In fact, it's cover to let him destroy/neuter agencies they don't like an

It's not that hard. Just ask them to explain the code. Then ask them how they'd change it for several different scenarios.

Yeah I mean that's exactly what MS are talking about, only requiring 1/20 of the checksum qubits or something. https://www.ft.com/content/a60f44f5-81ca-4e66-8193-64c956b09...

China creating cheap ripoff is what they do best. No one in the West would use a Chinese model otherwise, so their best strategy is to destroy the US' ability to establish dominance and more unicorns. Expect them to keep putting out mo

Well yeah obviously. Only they didn't suggest that.

Try understanding what spring boot is doing. Annotation soup. It's practically impossible for a beginner to Spring to debug.

Because like any shortsighted decision it can come back to bite you later.

It's a paradox as old as time itself. Otherwise intelligent devs assume they can do a better job without all the "complication" and "bloat", but then just end up with homegrown unmaintainable crap that does half of

My RSI only healed once I ignored the lightweight exercises my physio gave me and hit the gym again for full body workouts.

Yes a good book, but I found Ajahn Brahm more accessible on the 'deep' jhana side.

by nprateem 2y ago
Yeah exactly, Leigh goes for what's been termed jhana-lite while Ajahn Brahm basically says if you don't see a nimita it's not legit. Maybe he's right, maybe he's just keeping it more elitist, or just swayed by the

Yeah whatever. VCs will keep backing entrepreneurs, that's their job. Until there's a better way to get 10-100x returns, we're fine.

Meh for every 1 person who cares, 10 people don't. Plus the media loves a fall from grace story. I think they'll be fine once the new model is out.

I can recommend 2 books for those who want to try to learn, but tbh i think a retreat is still required to reach them: 1. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Right-Concentration-Practical-Guide... 2. https://www.amazon.co.u
