It’s a classic innovator’s dilemma- they can continue milking the x86 or reinvent the company but not both at the same time.

I don’t get the scenario he tested where he has access to both sides and can freely install cyphers on the server and what not. If you have just installed vpn endpoint and send whatever packets you feel like.

I have a bit of a problem donating directly to the army. I understand the need to defend but it does end with deaths and bloodshed. I ‘avoid’ the problem by donating to medical supplies as well as simple food stuff for people in Ukraine.

I think the issue is (as always) not technical but a human problem. If the swift payments were blocked, what incentive would the creditors have in paying back the debt?

I have one almost legitimate use for 12ft.io - sharing links for a paid subscription news site where I actually pay the annual fee and the site has it’s own way of letting users share articles with friends and family. But the built in proc

The way scientific papers are ranked - ie how many citations a paper gets, means consensus is rewarded and dissent is punished.

Agreed. Sooner or later the fad would have passed anyway.

If we enable everyone to have at least $30 per day, would this not result in asset inflation and purchasing power of said $30 lower - these these people would still end relatively poor ?

China has stopped construction of building over 100m and for a good reason. Tall building are incredibly inefficient - you literally have to haul everything high up - water, furniture, more recently cars. Ta bigger height to width ratio, th

Every time I see such a pre emptive money grab (1p doesn’t need all this money upfront- they could fund new features and growth from paying customers) I know that prospective users will have to pay back a multiple of the 600M back to the in

Same impression- no discussion on fault tolerance, HA and infrastructure in general.

I didn’t know about the dig behaviours but when I read about it I immediately thought that is a great way to narrow down the problem - compare dig results with something else that does respect local conf.

How is a torrent less efficient in data transfer? Do you mean protocol overhead?

This is waste to keep throwing resources at something because maybe someday something good will come out of it. There’s many more areas like sequencing genomes and fighting cancer that these programmers could be spending their time on.

This is very true and it paints a dim view on the XXI century- we are going to be ruled by thugs and gangsters because we “vote” them in, until it’s too late.

Yeah, Im Pro vax and obviously want this pandemic over soon, but I don’t see how having the same colleagues wear masks in another cubicle but don’t wear masks in the common canteen. Should be the other way, really.

Where on the planet are you and can you send the dropouts my way? This feels like alternative reality - we have jobs available but no takers.

How do you recruit a great team if they’re bad at recruiting?

So where’s the thread for (equally bad) predictions for 2022?

I can address the point about oil. We seem to have reached peak oil already so the expectation is for the price of oil to go down. Prices going up suggest market manipulation by squeezing supply by opec etc.

When we had little kids and working in noisy open office spaces was normal I figured it’s best not to fight it and went for work that is more suited to being disrupted often. I still spend a small portion of my day coding but if the expect

I call bs on this argument. Protocol on the blockchain still has to abide by the rule of law. And the idea that certain things are not allowed on the blockchain is false - someone will create a new fork, chain or there will be a more elabor

Perhaps the quality of arguments is an indicator here. At this point in time I am tired of explaining the basics to new, naive newcomers who somehow think that distributed chains of hashes are some kind of new, breakthrough science. I am

where do you go to? Brexit Britain or MAGA Murica? Running away is not a good, long term solution.
