Also, if some system accepts such a domain it sill likely it gives it a red flag.

I'm using .email domain for a long time, in many cases it's not accepted on registration. When it's accepted and it's an e-commerce website then half the time I get an automated email that the sale was either declined, or they require additional proofs. Or, in some cases, the order just gets ignored, and when you physically call them they can't even find the email in their system, so my guess some anti-spam system just blocks it.

I guess the good part that in ai.txt you can talk to AI. So if you want you can tell it to not crawl or make other agreements with it, just in plain english. What a time to be alive.

Is there any tech advantages of this compared to the Nvidia cards? Afaik, CUDA is a standard de-facto for computing now, and AMD has a ROCm as an alternative. But I cannot find much comparisons online. Like what kind of tasks (in AI/ML/HPC/Mining/etc) can work more optimally on AMD hardware?

But that's a feedback loop, no? I mean, it still affects the staff so if the staff doesn't like what managers do they either ask the managers to fix it or they quit.

Maybe SSD are more prone to failures. I had a Samsung 980 Pro which died after a couple of months. Recently bought a SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD and it started to corrupt data just after a couple of weeks of use.

I guess they mean that if it's not coming from the existing money pool (i.e., taxes) then a new money will be printed (i.e., inflation)

Web3 is Ethereum, but he pays in Bitcoin which is kind of opposite. So it's definitely not a Web3 thing.

> golden visas are a loophole for sanctions against Russia's aggression

No. Portugal doesn't accept Russian citizens for golden visa since the war started. And do not process applications started before.

> one well known oligarch has a Portuguese golden visa

No. He didn't do the golden visa. He got it in a different way. He have got it "under a law that offered naturalization to descendants of Sephardic Jews who were expelled from Portugal about 500 years ago during the inquisition". And he received it about a year before the war and the sanctions.

I like Asciidoc and think it's a perfect format for tech documentation. It has all you need for cross referencing in docs, great table support, notes, etc.

The main problem, as author has noticed, is the single implementation. That significantly limits its usage and support in other tools. And to my understanding it's because the owners of the format had overprotected it with trademarks and so on. So no one wants to make another implementation because it's easy to get into legal troubles.

In US there is also major issues with waiting time. Like months for anything non-emergency. And emergency is just partially covered by an insurance anyway, so it doesn't really count. Also an Uber instead of ambulance.

Not sure about the wages and strikes though. But considering the fact that our neighbor doctor is a member of a yacht club, and the landlord who is another doctor had invested in a bunch of apartments that he lost the track of them, I guess they are fine.

Or maybe some Figma plugin/client that generates the code from a UI designed there.

What's the point of the summary?

But "why" is very important for the future code owners. Year or tho later someone else adding a new fix may have a question about the existing parts to avoid breaking them. And the only thing he can rely is `git blame` to figure out "why it's implemented in this particular way"

It's inconvenient to switch the keyboard layout each time you write a comment.

I have experience working on some JSON RPC Load Balancer, and I can tell that it's one of the worst choices for an API:

- Method Name is a part of the body itself. So you have to parse it to make a decision on how to dispatch it. That's an extra cost.

- Error Code is a part of the response. So you have to parse it each time to figure out if it's a success. Also, some clients just give an HTTP Error Code instead. So you have to handle both.

- It can also be batched. Which introduces a lot of unspecified use cases.

- Like how are you supposed to dispatch those batched? Should they go to the same upstream? Or can it be parallelized? Should the order be preserved?

- With batches, the slowest request always blocks the in-flight response. You have to wait for all calls to be finished before producing a final response. That's a huge performance bottleneck. Also, what you do if some of them never finished?

- A lot of uncertainties about the ID. Especially because it can be a different type (int or string), which sometimes introduces two different handlers in the code. And there are no guarantees IDs are not repeating in the same batch. To make it worse, some clients rely only on the request/response order ignoring the IDs.

- Another problem is that it has no idea of Metadata, which is important for many real systems. For example, to do an Auth. Or do Caching and other optimizations.

So as an outcome, everyone just makes two layers. On the HTTP level, you have auth, routing, error handling, multiplexing, etc. And then you realize that JSON RPC only introduces extra complexity.

If those companies are controller by a US person then they do tax them in US. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_foreign_corporation

Hm, ok. I had an experience when signed something like I said, and then a couple of weeks later they charged 7x of what I expected as a fair price. Don't know how that was possible then.

It was higher that the price on the website, which they supposed to provide. But they didn't care as they explained the website is simply outdated.

To my understanding they just give a paper now that you have to sign. It's an agreement that "they don't know the price yet because it's ER, and so they will tell you later"

That's why I mentioned NYC. Because people say it's a problem there, i.e, a lot of properties are just bought and not occupied.

I know. I'm just wondering if they increase the tax by 80x for those properties (like $12 -> $850), do you think it will make the overall market better somehow?

The same premium domains are still squatted and sold for thousands. Absolutely nothing changed for the end users, but now Google takes a piece of the cake. Admit it.

So, following the logic, the NYC should charge crazy extra tax on properties to 10x the prices to make the market, hm, more affordable?

It doesn't seem that it's the correct metrics, none of them makes much sense.

Something is definitely wrong with the "Queries per second", it doesn't look like something significant. My usual load for a single node is about 300 req/sec. That's just an average number. Sometimes I do up to 10K req/seq. That consumes some noticeable amount of CPU, but nothing special and the bottleneck seems to be not here.

And I think the main issue is the "Latency" chart. Because my average latency is about 3.5ms. It's like 10x faster. They cannot be so slow.

So I guess the real problem is that the author measures the network. Not the service. So a link to Alchemy happens to be slower than a link to his own server. And the network is the main bottleneck in both cases, because you can easily do 10x of those numbers with a good network.

Chinese can technically migrate too. It's just not so easy, they may have family and work that hold you there.

Same as with Apple. You may want to leave it but you have HomeKit devices and bunch of apps you use for work.

Same happened to me too. They suspended the payment account. Two accounts actually, because different cards. Sent the driver license picture a dozen times, for one account someone eventually took a look and unlocked it (which took about a week). But another one is in review for several months already. And it's impossible to do anything with that.

I remember what people in 90s were talking about the future of internet. All the crazy ideas and how it will solve everything in a crazy way. But yet we are here, using internet in a completely different way (I mean, nobody were talking about Tiktok back then, right?). But even more people were saying that internet have no use case and no future. That's normal for every disrupting technology, it doesn't just directly applies to the existing things, but brings something new instead.

The fact that AWS didn't find anyone to talk to about blockchain doesn't mean anything. They are just in their own bubble, talking to the CTO/CIO of large corps.

But just look at the mobile apps of the major enterprises, all of them are completely awful. But it doesn't mean that mobile tech is dead, right? Or even further, just go to any web app of any major US bank. It seems that they still think that Web is not for them. I guess all those CIO/CTO still believe that sending a paper check is a very efficient tech. So what can they say about blockchain? Nothing. I don't think any of the current enterprises would even catch it. They missed mobile and still catching the web.

According to a public stat, right now there are about 3000 Ethereum nodes hosted on AWS. Maybe similar numbers for other blockchains. But AWS didn't go to ask those customers about their use of blockchain. Maybe because it's mostly college kids, and AWS Sales Managers don't care about them. But that's the only people who can answer the question why exactly they use AWS for their blockchain hosting and how AWS can help them.

Right, it doesn't make much sense and that's my point. If we don't have an objective criteria we cannot judge what is a good tech and what is a bad tech.

You think one techonoly is not important, another person think it's very important. I'm sure you're must better person that the any other person so we have to rely on your judgement, but it's not very scalable.

I've just googled the number. There are about 1M users of AWS, which compared to global population of 7B people makes it useful for about 0.01%. So it's a pretty negligible number, outside of NH. With that low number anything can be comparable useful imho.

I'm not sure how you measure share of scammers, so it's hard to compare. But I'm wondering you you care about scammers but not legit people who want to use blockchain tech? Latter is a magnitude larger audience.

"Tell me you're from a rich western country without telling it"

I'm not aware of a centralized exchanges "on web3". Can you point to? Companies like Coinbase, Kraken, Binance are not "on web3", if that's what you mean.

There are few crypto exchanges that are "on web3", like Uniswap, Curve, Balancer, etc. And they don't rely on a centralized database.
