On regulations: FTX and SBF were the main proponents of regulations. Not because it solves anything, but because it eliminates a competition and for them it gave more freedom to do a fraud. So I'm not sure it's always a good thing

Can you clarify what is "solving a problem that actually exist" means? I just looked around and I'm not sure I have anything that solves an actual problem. Like the HN right now, it doesn't solve anything, right. In the

Is it possible to configure a Kubernetes cluster to run only _signed_ images? I.e., if someone has replaced a Docker in registry is should not be accepted by cluster.

Does anyone know if there are any plans to improve typing and null pointer safety in future releases? I tried to google for existing JEPs, but I'm not sure I'm using the correct terms. I mean, I'd like to see better typing be

What is the advantage of using this compared to plain Nginx or Envoy? Is it just static vs. dynamic config for routing?

Slightly offtopic, but in US how you should go if you want to do small investments in other companies or just assets? Like angel investing. Should I set up an independent LLC just to simplify account on my personal taxes? Would be it be eas

Big part of Putin's politics is to appeal to the older generation who remembers the Soviet Union and want it be back. So at least those people do no consider it as a poverty and they think it was better back then. Not even comparing to

Thank for kustomize, that looks interesting. As we tried to start the migration, we found out that's it not so trivial. I initially hoped that the Kubernetes part could be easily migrated. Not really. We learned that things like Load B

Same happened to us the last Thursday, but in our case they suspended our GCP account without a prior notification. Just learned about this from our external monitoring. Turns out they wanted to check my IDs, and it's after I had been

Maybe it's irresponsible, but so far is the best working approach. How you send the cash, btw? By mail? How do you ensure that post office is not going to learn who is the sender of the envelope with cash?

Imagine a person who lives in a dictatorship country and used it to send a donation to an opposition journalist. Because otherwise he would go straight to jail. Is it a good use of such a service or bad? I personally think that's the p

Right, maybe it's less visible now and Parity is not in use anymore. But it doesn't change the fact and the link proves that it indeed happens. I guess it's a hard truth nobody wants to talk about.

Not really. If one of the clients interpreted a part of the spec in a different way, event if they are right, they would have change it to follow an officially approved code because that's the consensus. There are examples like https:

The thing is that those are not crypto projects. They are just traditional wall street finance pretending to be crypto, just by saying they make money in crypto space.

Slightly off-topic, but is there any distributed db like Cassandra but written in Rust?

That's interesting. I had always considered Groovy as a good language for such tasks. Because fast JVM and many JVM-native libs to work with big data. And also because Groovy is perfect for building a Domain Specific Language.

Then look at the Ethereum Classic. Which is the original Ethereum, and it's just $20 per coin and less than $.01 per transaction.

I guess it depends on what is your criteria for "dictatorship", but afaik they _love_ to give loans specifically to dictators. Because they know that the dictators agree on much worse terms as they not the ones who would repay the

It would be great if it had any description. Because it's not very clear what _Sugar Candy Machine_ does. I mean, I guess I understand what it does IRL, but in Rust as a software? It doesn't make any sense to me. Or it's a CL

Okay, I guess there are people who consider cryptocurrency as opposition to the government. That's fine. But how it relates to the current situation and specifically to the "Code is Law"?

The article says that FBI was contacted by founders of the project. So maybe it's the first case when police was involved in a crypto fraud?

That's the point. It's not automatically broken just because someone doesn't like it, especially if it was perfectly allowed by the code. That's people who lost the money can say. They call it attack, so I guess they hav

No, it's just unrelated things. Nature is decentralized. But if you car was burglarized, which is perfectly fine under laws of nature and the glass physics, you still call the centralized police.

Code is law as law of nature. Not government laws. Code I Laws just means that if code was executed in the way it was intended to work and you don't like it you don't revert your blockchain. You keep blockchain as is, because it&#
