It would be quite entertaining for one to watch the large solar manufacturers have to put their money where their mouth is for their entire public facing websites if they want a .solar domain

Likewise, you can be very good at fixing things without knowing what every single tool in your toolbox is even for. In fact, sometimes not knowing is an advantage -- you might use something in a way that was never intended that ends up solv

ICANN should make a .solar extension with the caveat that you have to provide evidence yearly that all IPs mapped by the domain were running on solar power

One thing I will say is if you need queuing, very few people actually need global queuing, they only need per-user queuing. Have fixed a number of systems where EVERY event in the world was going through the same queue, and replaced that wi

By definition a queue is FIFO, which requires preserving ordering, or else you could end up with FIRO (first in, random out)

Yes, this bit me recently. Had to add an atomic index field instead, as some messages were arriving out of order because their timestamps were the same as other messages.

As one of the people who uses a mobile device only if I have no other choice (which is never), I definitely feel the pain of this.

Specifically, we need more regulatory coverage coming from a fewer number of regulations. That is the guiding star. More restrictions, more elegant / simpler rules / fewer actual rules.

by sam0x17 5y ago
Agreed. We should revise that process through new regulations and modifications to the existing system.

Right, but society has accelerated. 50 and 100 year precedents used to make sense. Now it seems like they need to be updated at least every 10 years, because that's how long it takes for society to fundamentally change at the current r

What money is in what sense though? In a centralized/decentralized sense? In a philosophical sense? Are we considering going back to bartering? My point is, you see companies abusing bailouts and say "oh no, our fundamental concep

In simpler terms, for any complaint you come up with, here's a regulation to fix it. Problem solved. If the problem is a regulation, let's remove or modify that regulation. Problem solved. If your problem is there are too many reg

You're merely documenting how current regulations are inefficient at catching current abuses. With proper regulations, these kind of abuses could be mostly prevented. With anti-regulation sentiment permeating government and politics ri

This is definitely a prelude to some kind of blockchain thing they will attempt to undertake.

It's unheard of in the startup world. I don't even know anyone outside of the startup world anymore so I can't speak to whatever FANG and the remaining crumbling enterprise companies are still doing at this late hour.

It's quite simple. SO has a huge easily indexable database of answers, and SEO scammers can make a quick buck by copying it all and making it seem like they have an answer for unanswered questions. Nothing to see here, blame your searc

I also think if we're being charitable, AWS would be split off from Amazon, and possibly sub-divided further, likewise for the other public clouds -- Google search and Google Cloud shouldn't be owned by the same entity, etc.

As an entrepreneur this gives me absolutely zero pause. I don't care if the fed splits up the thing that acquires me once I get acquired. I just want to get acquired. It's on meta to decide if they are flying too close to the sun.

Right, so sRGB should really just be the only allowed profile for images. That's my whole argument. There should be some standard profile all images should use, and then displays should deal with the work of converting things to a suit
