Just checked online, he actually seems to be a russian citizen

by splix 3y ago
The citizenship doesn't really matter, b/c Russia may want to kill own citizens too (ex., if they don't support Putin).

by splix 3y ago
Do you suggest that Russia can make a list of people they would like to kill and US would be happy to provide them to Russia?

They knew that because it's a public information and they didn't prevent it because it's already deployed smart contract. They have no ability to prevent a specific party from using it, it's already deployed to the netwo

"Allowed" by a technology in this case, I guess. Like should they be allowed (i.e., have a possibility) to financially support opposition, journalists, etc.? Should the persecuted minorities (LGBT, etc) be able to hide their actio

Curious, what do you think about breaking the laws of authoritarian countries to save people's lives? Do you think people should be allowed to do that or not?

Do you mean there is no legitimate reason to have a financial privacy? like in general it should not exist, or just this particular example?

No, they definitely don't want to be in Russia because Tornado cash was used to make donations to Ukranian army (because the donators don't want to go to jail, since it's illegal). So Russia would be happy to jail the develop

I wrote about my experience with broken SSDs before. I had that one from SunDisk, and when it broke, I contacted support. Without much difficulty, I received a replacement, which works fine. I also had the same problem with a Samsung SSD, b

Btw, since the thread is about both Samsung and SanDisk now, I can tell a personal experience with both regarding the same kind of issue. I had the exact same problem with SanDisk as explained in The Verge article. I had it in January, befo

Unfortunately, we see those EU cookie banners and GDPR forms even if we live and visit a non-EU web site from outside. It doesn't target only the people inside the EU. So for this particular case is has no borders.

We considered it as a replacement to Slack to decided to stay on Slack. The reason is that we were unable to configure any meaningful network/firewall policy for it. The app reports all your actions to a bunch of 3rd parties, which we

I also was like "wow!!! an Operating System with Zero Knowledge!! that something new! wondering if it's something like Qubes OS?" just to find out it has nothing with Operating Systems

But it's not the UK, right? I mean I cannot incorporate in UK and then say it's a Cayman Islands company for YC purposes (i.e., without incorporating another entity to own the first)

I'm just suggesting to add a one-two sentence description to understand if it's something worth exploring or not. I understand that people can go to some videos, spent some time reading bunch of articles, etc, but if they don&#x27

It doesn't really say anything (and it was not clear that these two projects are related). I mean it doesn't say what is it. Is it a blockchain? Is it a network protocol? It it a development SDK for something? If latter, the for w

by splix 3y ago
Oh, I see. Thank you for the links. So, UK/EU are not accepted by YC, that's really surprising considering that Caymans are perfectly fine.

I tried to find any description of the project, but no luck. Github readme is only about running it. Link to the website redirects back to the Github. Mentioned Aleo network website doesn't say anything about the project too, it's

by splix 3y ago
Cayman Islands, really? I thought it's a huge read flag for banks, IRS and other agencies, so VCs, including YC, would avoid it. Maybe I'm wrong as I'm not an expert, so can you please tell more? Also, you didn't mention

Speaking about historically, that was implemented in Soviet Union, and I don't think it worked well. Though it certainly gave extra tools to the government to control the people.

by splix 3y ago
That would be a payment, just not with money, right? So why it's better than just paying this money directly and letting the person decide, rather than introducing an extra step by putting the money into a development and then giving t

I guess more a closer comparison would be with the Project Reactor https://projectreactor.io/ which is also a low level framework for data processing.

by splix 3y ago
Ah, I see. Thank you. I will definitely try it
85.
by splix 3y ago
Thank you. I actually like the idea that I can split the processing into independent binaries and scale them manually. And especially the fact that I can implement it in Rust. Btw, another questions. Things like Flink provide a dashboard to

I'm familiar with Java based tools for data processing, like Spring Reactor, Apache Beam, etc., and trying to figure out how I can Hydroflow instead. To my understanding, I just implement small pieces of the processing steps and connec

But they don't claim that your legal team should not be bothered? I mean, that's the strange part, not the license itself
88.
by splix 3y ago
It's still possible to violate the license. I guess a "fat jar" distribution could be a trouble.
89.
by splix 3y ago
Strange claim, actually. Considering that it's under LGPL, so the legal team must and want to know about it.

Also, if some system accepts such a domain it sill likely it gives it a red flag. I'm using .email domain for a long time, in many cases it's not accepted on registration. When it's accepted and it's an e-commerce websit
