bogota··on Real world ownership is not a use case for blockchain
That sounds like inventory management more than ownership which do obviously have overlap. But why would having something minted on purchase of say a Rolex be bad? Then when you sell it you could transfer that to the new owner. Showing a chain all the way back to the original purchase. This still has the issue of someone who could come into ownership of a minted item without the object and then try and make a convincing fake but this at first glance sounds like a great way to reduce fakes in the market significantly.
bogota··on Crypto crash deepens, stocks slip
You can criticize crypto currency’s for a lot but I still have never seen a good argument for it being a ponzi scheme. Can someone further this argument to one that wouldn't cover every investment asset?
bogota··on Coin Carbon Cap – PoW cryptocurrencies ranked by energy efficiency
Interesting but I’m not sure of the point. PoW by design is not energy efficient. The incentive is just not in the correct place. Interesting but if the goal is to show more energy efficient coins we need to be looking at different tech such as PoS. Although this might have just been a fun project someone put together in which case nice job.
bogota··on How Fake Money Saved Brazil (2010)
Not going to comment on the validity of your statement. However… if what you said was true the least of our problems would be Bitcoin.
bogota··on One million people saw my dumbest tweet
Can’t see the number of likes or can’t see that it is liked at all? I have a feeling removing the number helps but I know a few people who like to scroll through all the likes they get.
bogota··on NTSB: Tesla Model S in Crash Couldn't Have Been Using Autopilot
Do you mean Waymo?
bogota··on One million people saw my dumbest tweet
It would be interesting to take a random sample of Facebook/Instagram/Twitter users and remove the ability to see likes for a few months and see what engagement and post frequency looks like.

I have a feeling the companies might already know.

bogota··on The Syslog Hell
Does it really have a higher learning curve than running ELK? ELK is a nightmare to manage at any kind of scale in my experience.

I guess I have been looking at Loki and is the issue in configuration or operation? If it’s harder to operate than ELK I’m not going to touch it though.

bogota··on Please fix the AWS free tier before somebody gets hurt
Yep and is a huge SaaS market place now so mid to large size companies can figure out what they are spending money on.

I don’t use them for any projects mostly because I already don’t enjoy having to manage AWS at work all the time. I also don’t want to live/work in a world where AWS is my only option so I try and use smaller hosting providers and services like tarsnap.

bogota··on The Linux kernel has surpassed one million git commits
You could. But I would recommend downloading it to a RAM disk to make generating that a bit faster. The which function sees the most use would likely take a bit of work to figure out.
bogota··on “About one-third of Basecamp employees accepted buyouts today”
I’m not seeing that at all. I have seeing 90% of people let go at my previous job (sample size of 50) pick up jobs within a month. A few obviously had a harder time but the market right now doesn’t seem to be hard at all.
bogota··on Signald: Unofficial daemon for interacting with Signal
I want to like matrix but the UI is just beyond terrible when you enable encryption. It also just ends up in lots of strange situations where if you log in from a new place the verification system completely bugs out. I can barely make sense of what it wants most of the time let alone getting non tech friends to use it. I want to like matrix but the non default encryption and terrible UI on element is a dealbreaker.
bogota··on Latino Programming Language
I’m not sure the merits of using this in production but as a tool for introducing someone to programming this is awesome.
