Extremely easy. The bookkeeping for tax is less easy though.

How does DMCA handle steganography? For example, you could post hex-encoded bytes of a copyrighted image in a Facebook post - obviously a trivial example, but with a minor amount of effort and some more obtuse encoding it would be nigh-on impossible to tell otherwise. This is exactly what it looks like when putting copyrighted content on blockchains like on Ethereum. It's also _prohibitively_ expensive to store data on even alternative L1 chains.

> 1. There's no set of players who are guaranteed to win

Pension fund managers are guaranteed to win, and they win more as life expectancy goes down.

> 2. There's no set of players who are guaranteed to lose

Literally everybody else loses, as inflation eats away at the buying power of older peoples' ongoing or soon-to-start pension payments, and young people pay in to a system that there is now no guarantee they will earn from in 40 years time.

> 3. No one is set to gain by advocating for the "current pension system".

Plenty of people stand to gain, see above, as well as politicians interested in protecting the status quo and electability above all else.

Maybe - but then, good luck getting every single country in the world, to agree on identical, completely open regulations way, way more advanced than PSD2. This is what ""web3"" (or more accurately, open and composable finance primitives such as Ethereum/alt-L1s and the surrounding ecosystem) achieves.

Then you can use Bitcoin Lightning, a micropayments network layered on top of Bitcoin, and settled on-chain. There are solutions to these things, it's still just an early market.

On the testnet you can get free ETH to deploy contract(s).

There are also offerings that are already regulated and licensed by the FCA, so as long as you stay within their consumer credit guidelines it's not a "risky play".

Double digit ms in my experience. Not including the fact that V2 will renegotiate TLS constantly when it could just keep the socket open.

Inngest looks very cool - is there any chance of this being an "open-source SaaS" / open-core type thing like, for example, TimescaleDB or Temporal? Would love to contribute to something like this, but not as paid employment.

Saying anything on the internet these days is a risk, you're almost guaranteed to be wrong somehow.

Have AWS / employees ever spoken about the stack they run for IAM? Sounds fascinating

I think printing "im awake" to stderr during the last minute of August might terrify a few people.

Maybe this may help as some inspiration https://github.com/codemix/ts-sql

> - AWS charge you on compute time, Apple don't charge you for ongoing use of their services beyond one initial charge for app submission

Yes they do, the fee is yearly, and they make billions in revenue from this. Google charge one-time.

The amount of time I've had to spend making PRs to multiple branches across multiple codebases just to change full-stops... I've sent this to some of my colleagues.

Would this not likely be the TLS handshake slowing you down?

Doesn't seem to be affecting us (UK company)

Are there any tools/libraries/services that make it easy and intuitive to, say, start your API in the OpenAPI format from the beginning, and work backwards towards implementing it? It seems like a useful and interesting concept.

On the bright side if there is ever a large ship-getting-stuck-event he's already in position. Maybe the next one could be a spaceship.

I get this on version 2.30.1 so presumably a 2.30 change. I don't think they're planning to move to main for definite, just that they're preparing people to stop treating `master` as always the default branch

No problem with almost-pedophilia too! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lolita-Penguin-Classics-Vladimir-Na...

> Have you ever heard of Ingres?

Only because of HN comments talking about the history of Postgres!

I know, I'm a Brit and my girlfriend doesn't even remember her login to HMRC Gateway - if she pays too much tax she gets a rebate automatically, other than that its not even something we think about.

It's likely more of an issue if you're wanting to fetch lots of nested data in one request, but only a few specific fields of what could be an extremely large object, like say the just the names and profile picture URIs for a large set of users that have interacted with the object your fetching. This is particularly relevant to social media, such as Facebook.

I've absolutely noticed that my RSI / carpal tunnel flare-ups are extremely closely correlated with the closure of gyms in my local area due to pandemic restrictions. Now I'm training on bars at the park its getting a lot better.

I bet it was still more within delivery parameters than HS2 is.

Cannabis was named "marijuana" by American newspapers for the express purpose of associating it with Mexican immigrants. The criminalisation of cannabis was started by racism, and has been solely for the purpose of racism ever since. How else can you explain demonising a mostly harmless plant without any evidence?

I don't know about Brazil but that's how the rules work in the UK, because otherwise everyone would charge $1 for the item cost and $itemPrice+25 for shipping, and no custom tax would be paid.

It's a big problem here in the UK too, at least for me and the people I know.

And you know that he "caught" Covid-19 _weeks_ after starting medication to treat pneumonia, which is why he wasn't vaccinated despite being high-risk, right?
