This kind of thing sounds great on personal projects, but doesn't scale. Like many abstractions, frameworks' biggest benefit is (arguably) making it easier for teams to work together.

I'd guess this is less of a concern than the services people are accessing being slow. E.g. even though I've got FTTH, youtube is still sometimes slow to load the front page.

Cultural changes? How would you build those? The government doesn't control the culture. How would you make it unacceptable? Bureaucrats don't have direct control over that. Also, a bunch of "we need"s about the ide

They really should have given some actual information, i.e. how the information was stored. I want to know what algorithm was used, not how "it was securely stored so people still can't take your money" or some other corpora

Copy-paste from another thread, cause it's still relevant. Urban environments aren't really "nice". For all I hear about the joys of urban living, as espoused by others, I haven't enjoyed it much. Public transportat

I agree with you in principle one-hundred percent. However, at the time that was written, there was one key difference: entitlements. Once the government started taking on the burden of providing a safety net, we lost the ability to admit

It's my money, why do you think the gov't should get it early? You're coming at this from the wrong perspective.

DEF CON has a lot of informational talks where research is presented. Going to villages also sometimes gives you the opportunity to join a team and learn new stuff. Research is also presented at black hat (though not necessarily as much,

Because they would have to spend years in court litigating whether or not that was slander. Consumers have also been shown to respond better to positive causes than negative ones, and a non-profit funded by these guys is better equipped to

Some quick backstory as to why I just posted this: I originally submitted it almost three months ago [0]; it was quickly flagged down as a "conspiracy theory". I don't necessarily agree with everything here, but don't

Maybe it's because urban environments aren't really "nice". For all I hear about the joys of urban living, as espoused by others, I haven't enjoyed it much. Public transportation is crowded and smelly. Fat people

It might just be the easiest way to do it. It's also possible that Intel didn't have access to samples of enough AMD stuff to test, or the wrong department had it, or they couldn't get approval to take the time it would requ

Venmo and zelle are two apps that allow instant p2p payments. Venmo was first; zelle is the banking sector's answer (a whole bunch of them got together and agreed to support it). Both are widely compatible; zelle has no transfer fees

It seems that while banks themselves do fewer things around p2p payments (which seems to be the over-arching issue you have with American banks), other private companies are greatly improving on this. The banks also banded together and lau

Still use vim. You can use something like "5db" to delete the previous 5 words. For more precision, "5X" will delete your last five characters. And if you have a very specific use case, macros are a big help. If you h

Right, but all the others still have jobs. That's the point of the 2.4 million: there are the ones employed directly, then those employed by suppliers, suppliers of those suppliers, etc.

The feds make ISPs spend money on rural areas which aren't really profitable; that's likely a part of it. But there's no competition because there are a limited number of lines available; they can't tear up the street f

Most of them are much smaller, meaning there is significantly less distance to cover. Of course you can get fiber to the home every where when you have a small nation. Let's look at larger nations: Canada has worse broadband but bett

Not exactly. In America, distances are too long for bikes to effectively cover in most places that are not the east and west coasts. However, this also means that when inconsiderate bicyclists max out at 20-25mph on a 55mph road, they slo

Union contractors and brothers-in-law are most of it. I lived in Houston for a while, which is a very large and bureaucratic city. They can't get infrastructure done right. In the area are a few small towns which incorporated before

And yet, public transportation is not the same. Americans love their cars because we are a very independent people who appreciate the ability to go where we want, when we want. An EV could at least conceivably be a replacement, though tha
