This guy literally traveled to a repressive totalitarian regime to perform services for them with the intention of helping them evade sanctions. The fact that crypto was involved is incidental.

No, I think this is a misconception. Sanctions can work without government controlled money. Prosecuting terrorism or organized crime can be done without government controlled money. Catching tax evaders can be done without government contr

I’m very skeptical about “blank slate” approaches such as this. Can you tell me what the advantages are? From a glance I see two big downsides already: - Tightly coupled components unlike the extremely modular design of TCP/IP means t

Wow, it's 90% single family homes. I thought Vancouver was a Hong-Kong style concrete jungle filled with skyscrapers of vacant luxury 1 bdrm apartments owned by foreign real estate corporations.

These kind of little tweaks to symptoms of the housing shortage are ultimately useless band aids. After a decade of stopping foreigners and corporations from buying houses, slapping the wrists of landlords who have vacant units, and mandati

Exactly. Corporations are buying houses because rents are high. Rents are not high because corporations are buying houses. Rents are high because there are not enough houses on the rental market, because not enough houses are built.

Seriously? What's the mechanism of this magical connection? Rental prices go up if there is more demand in the rental market.

Every app will have a bunch of serverside data so IMO that's not really a consideration. The great thing about SPAs is that your server now just returns a simple JSON API. It greatly simplifies the server side. It also tends to make th

That doesn't sound like it's really any simpler than a json API server (written in node, python, go, or anything else), and a SPA. Maybe the lesson is "build with what you know if you want to go fast".
