>Well history suggests some answers to that question Such as? American Natives arguably fared rather poorly with immigration. What other examples did you have in mind? Other countr…

What's wrong with them having preference for people of a similar race? What's wrong for looking at the source countries of many of these immigrants and saying no thanks? No one's i…

I agree with your first 2 paragraphs. The problem is that people can be convinced that there is an issue where there is none, then resort to violence on weak grounds. It is easy to…

Applies to software too. Standards need to be strongly defined with no leeway. Parsing should be tight and leave no room for creativity. (Text protocols like HTTP I'm looking at yo…

I'm unsure how it doesn't fix the speed advantage. Anyone can get in front by bidding a millionth cent more. You can keep doing that until the price starts mattering, right? I'm no…

SEC can "fix" HFT instantly by allowing more decimals. There's no good reason to only have 0.01/0.001 increments. Making it so granular forces speed over accurate pricing. Make it …

Who has Tether defrauded? I agree Tether may have just issued without backing, but they don't promise being able to withdraw. So who is actually being harmed? And why is it unfixab…

It's bizarre. I tossed the book away in disgust because it's crazy pseudoscience....and it still worked.

At this point, it's unlikely he or any other artist will release more music in the 1900s or even the 2000-2017 period.

If it'll let me play YouTube audio on my Sonos it'd be a great feature. Otherwise I'm not quite getting the value. Workaround for this is to buy an HDMI splitter and send the audio…

There is probably a trade-off depending on the content of the string, right? So the API probably needs a general-purpose and a "this should be all ASCII" version?

I meant Rust should have a SIMD optimised version that assumes mostly ASCII. I'm guessing there is a trade-off involved depending on the content of the string.

Some things are just wrong. I've implemented SIP, a horrible standard. Lots of compatibility issues just from their insistence on a "human friendly" text format alone. At any rate …

Fast checking is really useful in things like HTTP/SIP parsing. Rust should expose such a function as well seeing as their strings must be UTF-8 validated. Though it's even faster …

>I could see Cook & co. make the case that these devices are so dangerous in that regard that they shouldn't be able to be used by anyone. OK but that is not a legal strategy. You'…

What are you talking about? You want to make it so that a company like Apple can just draw arbitrary bounds and say "no messing around beyond this point" and have that be internati…

But I am saying that it is unlikely Google will let you spam reservations. This idea that some kid will now be able to make 1000 reservations via Google is not probable.

That's just misusing the word blockchain. Like saying "cloud server" for "hosting" when there is nothing cloud about it. Using digital signatures in a chain is not a novel idea. Wi…

I get "Connection problem or invalid MMI code" on an AndroidOne device when I dial that. Edit oh hidden asterisks.

Here's a version https://github.com/michaelgg/cidb -- Just some of the raw integer k-v storage part. It assumes you already have the hashed entries (you truncate them and the compr…

What stops a restauranteur from abusing Google's Gmail service? Presumably Google won't allow you to do spam with Duplex either. If you are going to be more enterprising then you c…

As much as I dislike this Israeli firm how have they done anything illegal? Hacking a device in your physical possession should not be illegal. Your comment about the NRA makes me …

Depends on scale. At higher end, it was near impossible to scale when you're e.g. inserting a MySQL row per packet. But maybe good enough for a viable business. I would probably tr…

Sometimes it's a huge advantage. I wrote a network search engine. On a single 1TB spinning disk, I could handle 5TB of traffic, stored and indexed, per day. That's around 2 billion…

Why would China want Korea unified? I can't imagine China wants that long NK border holding SK/US agents or tech.
