Regulation enables this kind of thing systemically. Let this happen a few times without regulation and the market will demand trustworthy solutions, not some politician waving a magic wand and declaring something safe. As we've seen

We moan a lot louder than we cheer. This is a win. We should celebrate.

You're absolutely correct. I agree with both you and the fanboys on this point, however. Our current system is better than the old, for sure, but at the end of the day it is true that an insane amount of money is paid to these oligopo

When did the world get so sensitive? I don't know if I grew up in some bubble of hate but where I come from people were brought up to be able to handle themselves. > "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never h

I use the workman keyboard layout. This was a complete mindfuck until I realised what was happening.

This man is peddling a book. I'm not saying that precludes his correctness but it does mean that the more analytical of us should apply a little more salt to our appraisal of his motivations than a journalist might.

The absurdity of this kind of thought is just profound. Thinking like this may be useful as a means of encouraging hope when all hope is lost, but Bitcoin is nowhere near there yet. Most of all this kind of talk smacks of deep desperatio

This is really secondary to the actual real value these things would represent. Yes, they must be limited in supply, just as money must be - money would be useless if it grew on trees. Your comment really only deals with the inflation ra

Interesting you should choose Kotlin over Go. What's your take on it? I'm a big Jetbrains fanboy but haven't played with Kotlin yet.

Dear Government, We have nothing in common anymore. We're just too different on every level that counts. We've tried to make it work - or rather, I have - but it's no good. You never respond, most of the time you don&#x2

Is this actually type safe, or type safe up until you include an untyped gem and the whole thing becomes indeterminate? Does the typing actually improve performance over straight jRuby? Can it handle method_missing and *_eval? Also why is

Binary blobs running on user boxes can collect direct, identifiable, evidence. Spying an IP address from afar that may or may not be proxied/NAT'd is flimsy circumstantial evidence at best.

I've thought the same myself but reading that post made it clear to me that such thing couldn't really have much in common with what we call Ruby today. The solution for the performant/distributed/concurrent/data-in

I think what you say about Rails is true. Rails isn't a framework, it's a lifestyle. I also started to question whether Ruby's type system was just too loose for serious work and was yearning for something as pleasant as Rub

Not sure I agree with the idea that `Rails == UI`. A lot of the time I'm trying to fight Rails on this as decoupling HTML means refactoring HTML which isn't fun. I use Rails as a thing that controls boundaries, a glorified CGI re

This seems waaaaaayyy too polished in all respects for an app designed to break the law. I would not be at all surprised if those prebuilt binaries were sending your details off to the MPAA.

These concerns are remarkably similar to my recent experience[0] with the Apple software update, which nobody on StackExchange seems interested in answering. I'm still very much interested in educated opinions on that matter, if anyon

Although I didn't say it explicitly in the particular sentence you quoted, I did say (pseudo|a)nonymously just after. I'm not suggesting identifiable health records should be searchable by all! You raise interesting points. I th

Government privacy breaches are one of the things I despise most about current Western society. I am - day in, day out - one of those guys calling for ministerial blood. However I have long thought that proper open access to health data co

As much as it was oddly enjoyable to see my life as a 1990's British chick-flick movie trailer, I did not relish all of the details. Like my most liked post in 7 years having 18 likes. Or digging up photographic memories of things lo

Freer capitalism will maximise choice relative to alternatives. You are correct in saying it will not provide complete choice, for example I don't expect there will ever be a day - even if I had all the money in the world - where I cou

My point is that there is no way to viably change the status quo - the merits of doing so are irrelevant. We should accept this and not spend our time trying to change others, or wishing they were different, but rather channel our own ener

Thanks! I have answered your question in my own mind many times. I want to live in a world where there is true freedom. I want a purer form of capitalism with heavy reductions in current government control that inhibits the ability of us

I said their chief pleasures 'may' be those things - a list suffixed with 'etc'. My aim was to get the reader to have an idea of the kind of person I was talking about rather than construct an exhaustive but useless an
