I rather see it at the behavioural level. Important domain logic ought to have a single implementation to avoid discrepencies that can put the system in an inconsistent state. For example your e-commerce platform really ought to just have one way of calculating the total cost of an order.
But, if you've copy pasted the boilerplate code that sets up your logging subsystem in a dozen different places, who cares?
They are still going under different leadership, focusing on other typical right-wing issues. Depending on how things go with Brexit they might well come back into the limelight this year.
We did have some success at one of my previous companies (wiggle.co.uk), but that was mainly due to pretty tight integration between MSMQ, MSDTC and MS Sql Server. Even then, we tried to avoid distributed transactions as much as possible.
Firstly my terse hand wavey statement was at least clear on the fact that it was talking about communication between services. It said nothing about web browsers or any other human interface.
But since this relatively narrow context is clearly the one which you can most relate to, I'll stay within it. If you think about it, the HTTP request/response cycle is actually an illusion of synchronous communication on top of a transport mechanism which is fundamentally asynchronous. It's an abstraction layer which shields you from the complexities of asynchronous communication. Broadly speaking this is known as the [request/response](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request%E2%80%93response) pattern.
HTTP by no means the only implementation of the request/response pattern. Even in asychronous messaging systems it's not unusual to see it implemented - https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/patterns/messa....
But request/reply is just one of the patterns which exists in the realm of asynchronous communication. There are other, much more common patterns such as send/receive and publish/subscribe. Exploring these patterns opens up whole new approaches to software design.
I wholeheartedly recommend the book [Enterprise Integration Patterns](https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/) by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf. It's quite old now but is still the best and most complete introduction to asynchronous design.
An alternative perspective is from the viewpoint of [Command Query Separation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command%E2%80%93query_separati...), and it's relative at the architural level, [Command Query Responsibility Segregation](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/CQRS.html).
A thousand times this. Bias is everywhere. I think people who say they're looking for an 'unbiased' source of information are really looking for a source of information they can just blindly consume without doing any pesky thinking. And if you're blindly consuming information without thinking, you're allowing someone else to think for you.
If anyone from brain.fm is reading, don't underestimate how much resentment this kind of dishonest manipulation generates.
Paypal cite the following reasons that they may freeze or suspend an account (at their sole discretion):
- You’ve received an abnormally large amount of money in your account that is way above your average
- Someone has filed a complaint to Paypal about your business
- A series of chargebacks have been placed against your account
- Your website has questionable content
- You are in violation of Paypal’s use policy. For example if you sell drugs or anything illegal, you may get banned
- Your account information is not up to date or your account is not fully verified
- Someone has logged into your Paypal account from a strange location.
- Your credit score is low or something with your background history makes you a higher risk customer
- They have detected fraudulent activity on your account.

But nitpicking aside your point is well taken, the developer experience is far better with dotnet core.
I think by focusing in on that line you're missing the bigger picture. What I'm trying to say is that we're primarily a threat to ourselves, not to the 'planet'.
I think people would be much more engaged if it weren't "save the planet" but rather "save the human race".
We're not destroying the planet, we're destroying our habitat, and the habitat of those animals unfortunate enough to live at the same time as us. The planet is going to be just fine, it's us who's going to suffer.
I love this quote from George Carlin:
"The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn’t going anywhere. WE are!
We’re going away. Pack your shit, folks. We’re going away. And we won’t leave much of a trace, either. Maybe a little Styrofoam … The planet’ll be here and we’ll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet’ll shake us off like a bad case of fleas."
Your point is well taken, however it needs to be made clear: exchanges can only freeze those assets which you yourself have placed in their control.
Funny you should mention Whitby, that little town was on my mind the whole time whilst reading these comments. I happened to pass through there maybe 25 years ago and the fish & chips were absolutely divine. Even today, when I think about good fish & chips, I think about Whitby.
Is there something special about that town? Is fish & chips their thing?
I live in the UK and I probably wouldn't consider getting a bike again, simply because I know it would be nicked within a month.
But what motivates people to sign up, go through months of training & travel to far off foreign lands to fight? Without those motivations, the desire to defend the 'person next to you' would only manifest when your homeland was under threat of invasion.
No. There are those who do understand blockchain and still don't support it. A great example is professor Jorge Stolfi. He is one of the more prominent detractors, and yet he routinely displays a very thorough understanding of the technology.
