Why does this centralized stablecoin need to be crypto? It's not like they need to raise funding for this. They could have made their own boring but extremely well positioned WePay / Paypal alternative ages ago, and instead they w

Zapier comes to mind for one. What kind of triggers would you want?

That only works if fetching the /people/123 URL is the only thing you will ever do. If you need the real 123 entity id in any other context, e.g. to display it to the user, or to make a user-accessible website link to that entity

(Not the GP) Yes, when done right, but it's iffy. For example, the article includes URLs like "/people/123". The security of having a leading slash in these depends on API base URL. " https://api.hots

I never had any uncertainty regarding where I can use a given entity id in a well designed API. Fix the naming and organization of your API if that's a problem for your users. Conversely, I often need to log or store API-provided entit

Yeah, cities don't get cheaper as they grow in size and density. They become more desirable due to better availability of jobs and services, and therefore more expensive. Of course a myopic analysis of building a single tower is not go

It seems that literally every new condo for sale in Vancouver is marketed as "luxury". Doesn't have to be downtown. Doesn't have to be well built or have extra high ceilings. Everything is expensive here.

I'll take this "noise" as a success, considering that the previous few years saw insane 20% YoY growth. Crashing the market overnight was not the government's task.

Honestly that reads like essential oils for "progressive millennials". Of course you should vape everything if you ask a vape salesman. "Nobody knows anything" is the best case you can hope for. Do you want to be the gui

Eh, I don't really think we're about to see a stable government in Venezuela, let alone a stable Stalin-grade dictatorship.

by raquo 7y ago
New Stalin style dictatorships are unlikely to arise in developed countries. A gradual descend into modern-Russia style governance is much more likely. We have learned a lot about building stable power structures in the last 50 years. You d

Start by finding a good physiotherapist and doing what they say. Don't confuse with chiropractors.

What specifically are you waiting for? You can already run rust in the browser, by compiling it to wasm and talking to the DOM using wasm-bindgen (like this Sauron library is doing).

Too many words for nothing. There is a simple solution: Deregulate and cut corporate taxes. If they have access to more private user data and keep more of their money from atrocious behaviour they'll be less atrocious. Oops, I meant th

Yeah, it's very hard, all but impossible, when your primary constraint is maximizing profit while holding tons of market power in an unregulated environment. Poor facebook, they really try their best. It's just so hard.

WASM would be a much more suitable platform for Flutter since it's more portable (works on the web) and better matches Flutter internals (C++ can be compiled to LLVM and through that to WASM). Not to mention that Google might be a bit

Well, being approachable is a benefit too. You don't want people thinking that you will take them through crazy interviews like Google does if that's not what you're doing, so again I'd say the answer is revealing more i

I don't know anything about your particular company, and I'm not hiring myself, but here's my two cents from the other side of the table: 1) If you want elite engineers either offer them elite compensation and/or elite w

Ridiculous. This bill does not repeal any previous legislation or regulations, it just adds new ones. Regulation that makes privately negotiated contracts void is still regulation, and with a significant effect on the market too. It's

by raquo 8y ago
Really, still making up your own definitions, and of basic vocabulary terms now? Pathetic. Private contracts like non competes are not regulations. On the other hand, laws designed by the government are regulations. Which this bill will be

Do you need help with the definition of "free market"? > In a free market, the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government, or by other authority. Proponents of the concept of free market

Why, the existence of noncompetes is exactly free market in action. "Competition" != free market.

Are the switches protected any better than trains? Can't you just walk up to them at the right time and switch them manually with some standard tool?

It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to see republicans as interested in fixing election problems after everything they have and haven't done since 2016. They would have done that long ago if they wanted to, but instead they made themse

It also went nowhere, stalled in a republican controlled senate by a republican controlled committee.

I'll believe it when I see it. So far none of the website builders, low code platforms, rapid app development tools, etc. made a dent, and not for lack of trying.

And yet despite the monopolies and despite the superstar compensation for top programmers at Google, mediocre programmer salaries did not suffer. Because everyone still needs mediocre programmers. Because they still provide a lot of value.
