Is breast milk unhealthy for babies? It contains both cholesterol and saturated fats. Cholesterol and saturated fats are only a problem if your diet is unbalanced. Anyways, you can eat chemicals to supplement your deficits by all means. But

One thing I don't understand is the absolutism around diets. Either people eat meat on every meal or none at all. Neither is healthy. Why the general discourse is dominated by these ultimates? I eat meat once or twice per week. Works r

I definitely agree. I'm actually thinking that the microservices architecture punishes team earlier for creating a mess, which is a good thing. It forces you to adapt good patterns, because otherwise nothing will work. I'm not sur

In my opinion it will become unusable and unmaintainable faster with microservice spaghetti. With monolith you can get by with bad design longer. But anyways, everything boils down to good structure as you said.

I guess it all boils down to building software with modular structure rather than mixing business logic all around. I personally think that it is easier to isolate business logic with microservice structure, but you can also make a huge mes

Does this lead to the energy consumption increasing over time? I'm not too familiar with the technology.

Oh yes. I agree, there is probably ton of waste in the entire banking sector. I just wanted to clarify why each transaction most likely costs more in blockchain compared to one transaction in the traditional network. I wonder how much energ

None of the things you listed are on the same scale if that 621KWh is true. What you should say is: "crusading against people who leave their a/c on for 2 months when they are away, people who drive 2500 miles for fun every day, p

Traditional banks pay their electricity bill, so they naturally need to account for that. On the other hand, bitcoin network pays for that collectively. No single entity pays the bill. If a single entity had to pay for 621KWh for every tran

This is my personal opinion, but even if we had perfect global tax laws, people would still find a way to abuse the system. I see the issue being too much power concentrating into too few hands. If you have too much power humans naturally u

Economies or scale... How about just power? These companies have too many people in their pocket. When you have enough power you can get away with this. These companies, even if not paying taxes directly, are huge contributors of economy. Y

Have you considered that you might also be living in denial? As far as I know your brains are full of chemical reactions that make your little princess seem perfect. I'm a father as well and it is sometimes hard to distinguish "I

DMN is integral part of Kogito and they work really well. That was actually the main reason for us looking into that direction.

Kogito is a nice upgrade that we've now been experimenting with for some months https://kogito.kie.org/

Not really. There is a huge difference as you can buy goods that serve the same purpose from thousands of other shops and online stores. Google and apple effectively have a 30% tax on all mobile software business. They are killing all apeti

Does it allow to save values with floating point imprecision such as 1.000000001? I don't think the issue is never in the database but the service that uses the API to send values. If such value is allowed, it will cause headache and e

This is the standard heuristic parents use so you are not alone. Interestingly it seems to cause names to go in cycles. Every generation has their own popular names. You end up picking a name that is not common in your parents or in your ow

I have some issues with the mobile FF with typing (filling form elements on some sites). I still use it for browsing as having the addons gives a superior experience. I'd be happy if I could switch 100%, but I have not been able to fig

Sure, they have plenty of collaboration with both major card schemas. AFAIK, they do both acquiring and issuing. I don't think collaboration means that you can't compete with each other? Their most successful products in the EU ar

That's correct only in NA, where Klarna issues virtual credit cards and transactions happen via card tracks. In EU, or at least the Nordics, the transactions are bank-to-bank and there is no virtual card. That means they are a direct c

by tappio 6y ago
Yes this is a good point! Same story with Finland. It's interesting that it uses card tracks to move the money, but the identification and recipient is not based on card numbers, so the card stays anynomous for the recipient. Mastercar

Hmm well, fair point. The society is moving also away from cash and many places don't accept it anymore. You are left with credit card... Which is also a spying device. So no payments without data collection for you! I don't think

That's what most people said 10 years ago about the mobile payments (mobile bank to bank transfers, not related apple or Google pay) in the Nordics, but no one is doubting it anymore.

There is also a huge difference in b2b payments. Cards account a very small percentage of B2B payments in Europe. I don't know how it is in the US, but I've understood that a much higher share of B2B payments go the card-track?

These are not concentrated to phone. -Direct bank payments use your bank id. You can have bank id stored in the phone, but you can also use a personal keychain authenticator -Klarna, Collector, etc use your social security number as the pri

Of course Visa and Mastercard still have a big role, especially in the brick & mortar. But when looking at e-commerce, the share of card payments is 40%. I don't think it is very relevant to discuss "duopoly" and say that

This is a very us centric view. Most of the europe is so much ahead of US in payments that it is funny. There are dozens of alternative payment methods in the Europe. Especially in the Nordics card payments are on a big decline. There are b

I'm wondering always about the name "dark matter". It makes a good topic for all kinds of pseudo-science and scifi. The name implies something mystical and invites everyone to discuss a topic that no-one understands. If the n

I wonder what is the chance if you are following the "worst" practices? User is stupid -mentality, being a dictator and not explaining why things are done the way they are, etc... Id expect it to be lower, but not that much lower.

Nice write up of the problem, but the solution is not that simple. Not saying that you shouldn't try, but the problem of doing something that customers want is extremely difficult and has a lot to do with luck. We have implemented many
