At this point I am having trouble understanding who would consider GCP. I mean maybe something along the lines of: something something, multi-cloud strategy, no lock-in options, let's also use GCP so we have multi-cloud. But I never se

yes. it's a no brainer really. you get GKE and in return you may lose your business if you hit any snags. we're past the point where K8s is this exotic thing where people are not sure exactly where it is.

nope. nope. nope. are you supposed to write your own firebase? develop your own android? yes, OP learned a hard lesson about Google, but that does not mean that you cannot build stuff using just one provider. you need to do your due dilig

being able to migrate != support GCP is not going to be a thing in a few years. Why would anyone pick GCP at this point with all the horror stories coming out of there? Yes, support is hard, yes it's expensive, yes it takes time. But a

If the dust settled why are we still talking about this? If you want my personal opinion: blockchain had/has great potential but once bitcoin exploded the whole crypto world was hijacked by snake oil salesmen whose only goal was to get

There are a set of rules that applies to everyone and are enforced by everyone. Re: trust the devs: do you trust the electricity in your house? What about the wires in the wall? Do you trust others to follow traffic rules?

Is it anonymity? Afaik, everything is available on the blockchain (except for maybe some cryptos like Monero).

Distributed consensus with zero trust.

Focus on the distributed aspect of it. What does distributed mean to you? In fact if you look at blockchain itself it's not dostributed in the sense that you need all the blocks to verify current state. The innovation is that 2 parties

You cannot enforce the physical world through virtual means. It does not work. What you can enforce is digital goods via virtual means. Depending of what you want to enforce the presence of a central authority in the physical world may stil

Imho blockchain == distributed consensus in a low trust environment. When you are talking about a database and managing it you are by default outside of the low trust zone (or there exists an authority that everyone trusts)

I think there are 2 scenarios really: 1) btc and eth go to zero or 2) we have btc and eth gaining the full recognition and regulation Blockchain as a technology is revolutionary and will be used in niche problems outside of crypto. One thin

I believe that putting the equal sign between a blockchain and a database is fundamentally wrong. I also think that a lot of "cryptos" were just get rich quick schemes. After the dust settles we will see if blockchain is really us

The narrative that crypto is usefull jusy for buying drugs or laundering money is ridiculous. A couple a weeks ago I did a wire half way across the globe. It took almost 7 days for the money to arrive. With bitcoin? 60 minutes. Remember whe

Sure. Everything is transient but if something lasts for the rest of your life is it though? Especially if it impacts everything around you. I get the meta point but people are just not wired this way.

It's not derogatory. Also there are various degrees of being prepared. My point is that past a certain point having some sort of community (other people that have prepped somehow) is key

The main thing for me is that prepping only work if there is a transitory situation where a buffer can make it easier to navigate. If we are going full steam ahead towards the collapse of civilization your prepping just delays the inevitabl

i mean, everyone has their own perspective and can choose to look the other way / explain bad behavior. for me the shark moment was bitcoin. you are right that he did many other things before that that I've maybe written off as ec

my point is that he is knowledgeable - but the heavy work, the real work is done by the professionals. At best he learns what is going on, at worst he is hindering progress.

I hate the term quiet quitting. It implies that you're somehow not doing your job. If your employer is not firing you it means by definition that you are doing the job. Quiet quitting is one of those bullshit terms made up by corporate
