IIRC Rome was conquered (EDIT: sacked, see replies) at least once during its history as a republic and forced to rebuild. An event like that could just as easily have indicated "the end" for them, but it didn't for whatever r

I've definitely decided that fishing for parallels is counter-productive. It's worthwhile to educate yourself on history (and Duncan's book is a great read) but I personally do my best to quell that anxiety-response "Is

I’m pretty sure you’re right. Nowadays I tend to be fairly modal: if I’m “in my head” then social contact is bizarre and disruptive and I can’t come off like a human being. If I’m in the other mode, social contact is easy but I’m probably n

The invasion was a bad, bad, no-good idea, but to add some color to what you're observing, one of the biggest conversations within the US at the turn of the century was whether we should enact foreign policy according to a moral mandat

I think this is it, and I think all of these events need to be making deals with 1 or more streaming service to get major front page features. Network TV is holding onto them like a life-raft, and it’s causing both to drown. Tastes haven’t

Yeah, I don’t buy it. I especially don’t buy that link. Blaming American’s concerns about an invasion of Ukraine on a lack of intellectualism is embarrassingly weak tea.

Expectations of professionalism, software quality, process, and so on are all a matter of context. I'm not sure a FOSS web framework gets DQed for a quickly-rectified mistake. The expectations aren't that high and can't be th

That doesn’t really affect the exploit; this exploit isn’t worse because it involved a bridge. Vitalik is talking about how bridges interact with 51% attacks and nothing else, so his points are interesting but not relevant to this. > eve

This is a really interesting set of observations by Vitalik, but (as I’m sure we all know) it wasn’t a 51% that did this hack.

Hard to be definitive about this kind of analysis, but it’s interesting to look at some surveys ( https://medium.com/solidified/most-common-smart-contract-bug... ).

My theory is that America needs to reverse some amount of globalization as its influence wanes. We’ll lose some of the cost benefits - it’s very cheap to source labor from third world countries - but we’ll gain from local production, perh

A comment in the recent submission about Rome touched on the idea that civilizations are only rarely bound together and energized by an idea or vision for what life should be. When we have no goal for what we should be, we let things sit id

For future reference, issues like this can be avoided by using “event” rather than “fact” semantics. The data published on the chain is a fact “can16358p loves girlfriend” which doesn’t imply any time window. An event semantic of “can16358p

Oh wow. I'm pinging the folks I know at CF, but it looks like they got owned. A quick dig shows that cloudflare.com points to the same server running clickfunnels.com; not sure what that indicates about the attack. EDIT: scratch that,

Hey Mike, great comments and thanks for the kind words. A lot of your observations on Bitcoin’s governance checks out. I stand by my theory about consensus-based tech driving consensus-based politics; the control over bitcoin.org, protocol

I’d love nothing more than to see a glorious turnaround that sees OW2 become very popular, so I’m rooting for you, Microsoft/Blizzard/Activision. I’m not optimistic, but I’m hopeful.

That’s legitimate, but I have two questions in response: 1, How effective are patents at protecting an under-funded inventor? (As I’ve been told by my lawyer) They cost tens of thousands to file and much more to enforce. It seems way more l

Overwatch league is kind of hosed right now because of the weird shenanigans around OW2. Last I heard, they were planning on dropping team sizes by 1 (so a bunch of pros are getting fired) and they also planned to have next years league pla
