FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition and its issues are fucking gold.

Which makes it easier for typical HN employers and YC startups (esp the social media kind) to stay afloat.

That might actually be another useful case for a NFT, /24 blocks can be traded in real time and when combined with the RPKI can be used as proof of ownership.

This looks like something that would be done over an international mass murderer, but he is being tried for ... rape?

EDIT: Nvm, even if he is being tried for espionage, this looks disproportionate

>Do you just not care about anybody else in the world

Sure I do, however I also get to choose who I care about, and it definitely doesn't include people who make policies which are extraterritorially enforced on me.

>If you are not part of a western democracy, of course you do not have to care

What do you do when a "Western" "democracy" enforces their laws on you and all remaining solutions point you to services that are beholden to a "Western" "democracy".

A centralized database can't achieve being public without putting trust in a third party (and no Web3 developer seem to eminently trust the government) to verify the double spend problem, otherwise blockchain is just a database. Non-falsiability can be verified through cryptography, yet we have no centralized but non-falsiable database system ready to use.

But why do I have to care about that? Due to the overreach of US policies even companies in countries which don't have sanctions against Russia have to worry about the efficiency and performance of payments going towards Russia. SEPA and ACH may be marginally performant but SWIFT is incredibly expensive, which is the only option you have for international transfers that doesn't depend on an American monopoly of power.

IPv4 is a disaster, when you consider what you need to use it in a modern day system. IPv6 is far simpler in nature, and doesn't require many of hacks that have plagued enterprise networks like SD-WAN, NAT and NAT copium.

It's far easier to learn IPv6 from scratch than to learn IPv4, and then also learn the hacks underneath it, it's miserable.

Metrics are useless, by this line of logic we should encourage older people to kill themselves because they consume more resources than the younger who produce them.

The solution to this lies in the statement.

What if a billionaire smoker pays for your healthcare the most? I think it's completely fair for that billionaire to also mandate that you must smoke.

You think that the harm is positively correlated with income out of all things? And you want to present your income to a cig store out of all places?

HN has been Reddit for a while now, there's no functional difference.

Sounds like a despotate, residents are fucked if one of the officials make a wrong decision.

Valve relentlessly rent-seeks the secondary market, making it impossible to trade the skins for anything useful. They have gone out of their way to end any way to exchange them with any real world currency, because it then ends up being akin to gambling. Valve is almost a despot, exchanging skins as NFT would take these powers out of the game dev's hands, that's the whole point.

How long have you been unemployed and how are you derelict?

It's Microsoft, the Steve Ballmer (also Teams) Company, they hurt people more than Zerodium can even think of.

That's in fact why we can have a discussion about hiring processes and promotion schemes in the private sector. In the public sector that simply doesn't exist as it's all a monopoly (obviously enough), there's no alternatives to point to to say which one is a better model. That's what meritocracy is, meritocracy isn't that meritless things don't exist.

Not only that, somehow his "Tech Blog" and "Blog" are two separate things, but every single blog post in the "Blog" section is about cryptocurrencies.

It feels as if 5 similar articles reach the HN top page every day like this. The same arguments are made, the same rebuttals are made, the same comments are made ad nauseam, every single time, with no apparent conclusion. Are we officially living in a simulation? What's happening?

Why would you want censorship in a P2P remote desktop software?

Yeah, US should actually start engaging in state sponsored terrorism and engage in piracy to make money, it'd be even more profitable than giving a total scammer 50B$ by deploying ICBMs all over the world.

Sounds like this is a failure of the UK judicial system, not bitcoin in general.

Yeah, so free speech is what we agree with.

Federal contracts require you to bend over backwards for disabled people (now that I phrase it like that, it does sound bad, but replace disabled with Israelis and it's the same thing): https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ofccp/faqs/section-503

They go against the market to bend over backwards for certain other groups of people: https://www.sba.gov/business-guide/grow-your-business/become...

This is not really bending over backwards, but they do need you to spend additional resources on other shit as well: https://www.employer.gov/EmploymentIssues/Federal-contractor...

Don't be surprised to find out that the federal government doesn't believe in the free market.

It's a standard funding rule so it seems, usual way to sneak in random provisions sidestepping usual democratic process a la minimum drinking age, Medicaid policies, etc.

That's a common problem across the board, voicing anything pro or against Israel will potentially alienate a nontrivial amount of customers.

Yeah, that's surely trustless. And I totally trust the wine company to perpetually maintain and pay for such a thing, and totally not restrict the secondary market as has happened all the time.

You don't need websockets to simply listen to the ProgressEvent, you should know that.
