I've always wondered what happens at the deeper levels of a DB beyond just SQL-literacy. The memory-management tricks (pages, overflows, pointers and remains techniques etc.) is al…

Not OP, but: Moving back to Austin, the overwhelming number of cumulus clouds in the sky reminded him how much he enjoyed their marshmallowy appearance. They don't exist in the Bay…

> two parties have to be able to agree on which key grace@key is bound to without consulting anyone in particular. They need a shared, append-only record of which names exist and w…

I'm not so sure thats correct. The Labs seem to offer the best overall products in addition to the best models. And requirements for models are only going to get more complex and s…

This is a technical forum, isn't pretentious name dropping kind of what we do? Seriously though, I appreciated it because my curiosity got the better of me and I went down a quick …

Although this is clearly the equivalent of Cloudflare propaganda, they are trying to address the issue of connecting a user and an agent in a way that respects the users privacy. T…

As a Fireman/EMT of 7 years whos been in high-tech for almost 10 - I feel sorry for this guy. Sure, some parts of work will definitely get better and feel different. But a lot will…

As a southerner who has also pondered this, I think it's simply the basic nature of the menu and local nature of the employees. Food is basically just pre-made batter, eggs, potato…

It's never the encrypted database that gets hit, it's always the other database that was made because our first database was encrypted....

I don't think this is relevant. Even on-prem "air gapped" networks get breached. I would say it happens on as frequent a basis as any other network tbh. Microsoft hacks get headlin…

How is YJS different from introducing CRDT? Doesn't it basically just do that for you anyways? If CRDT is complications and difficult to manage, either YJS resolves that completely…

Because at this point it's a well known API. I bet people want to recreate AWS without the Amazon part, and so this is for them. Which, to your point, makes no sense because as you…

The preceding lines in this surah explicitly mention this is addressed to wives of the Prophet who are unlike other women. The answer in your link even explicitly mentions this is …

Does this give credence to cryptoeconomics?

It's mostly neglect on behalf of the teams. In this case, the code was never audited and was created by a rather immature team that was rushing for production. So recupe for disast…

> The intersection of organizations who can run a bank but don't already have entrenched software to do so, and want to build all the other software themselves seems vanishingly sm…

Most people on HN here don't have a clue of what they are talking about, whether it is financial market regulation or cryptocurrency or blockchain technology. What makes this topic…

What are you talking about? Read some history prior to the 4 years of the SEC. Look at the suggested reforms the SEC was supposed to undertake AS IDENTIFIED BY CONGRESS. Then look …

I appreciate your sentiment, but I want to point out that your belief that "Traditional brokerage houses have regulations forcing them to play fair" and believing that there are ad…

Public companies swindle quite often, and usually with more catastrophic results. When are we going to admit that the current rules are no longer working?

Equating public financial statements with "transparency" is a fallacy. It creates moral hazard and over-emphasizes private audit facilities. Is it objectively better than non-publi…

Are you saying the fork was a bad thing? Or are you critiquing crypto people for not living up to their values? For both points, I'd like to mention that there is no universal valu…

A lot of the database solutions don't seem to account for full security or full verification of the transaction context. You can certainly create an audit trail for all database ac…

Cryptocurrency as a means of payment is used in Africa. And the usage of Bitcoin as an inflation hedge has certainly been proven by the fact that Bitcoin returned superior returns …

What actual digital currency markets have existed in Argentina or any other weak state prior to Bitcoin? All of these dark markets where cash only markets before, precisely because…
