Following the law isn't black and white. I'm sure each of us as individuals broke the several times today without even knowing it.

The paper that was linked suggests using derivatives rather than directly taking out loans, which are financially convertible. Specifically it says buying deeply ITM call options f…

In Item 10 it says: > One study I remember showed that young investors should use 2x leverage in the stock market, because – statistically – even if you get wiped out you’re still …

I've use Go's context based cancellation, and while I like the paradigm, it's kind of verbose. There are some that say that since it has to be passed everywhere, and can store valu…

You are right, editted.

As another surprising thing, calling interrupted() actually clears the interrupted bit. If it's true, you pretty much have to throw InterruptedException. Otherwise, you have to re …

Net income is not that useful of a metric since both companies are still growing.

This is on purpose. If the number of support people is a linear function of the number of users, the business cannot grow past half the worlds population.

This is what you get when you don't have a top-down management style. Teams are given too much freedom, leading to inconsistency. No one has the whole vision of how a product shoul…

Large transfer's wouldn't be the place where the effect would be noticeable, it would be JSON payloads that can fit in a few packets. If operators would do this seldomly enough to …

Realistically, are network operators going to add artificial delay to packets going through their network? If they don't get their bit, and they start slowing down communication, i…

If you give an engineer a bit: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/quic/yQfBIAOnUEKIWjZhF... You can kind of see how this might get out of hand and cause the discuss to digress a…

> QUIC (aka HTTP/3) Why focus on QUIC when the JS APIs to use it aren't available? Numerous of the features of HTTP/2 aren't usable (i.e. trailers, flow control, security sensitive…

Dissenting opinion: I think the blocky version looks better when not zoomed in. The sample on the left is less smoothed, and doesn't look as airbrushed. It looks better when zoomed…

It will change as SF's credit goes down the tubes. Unlike the federal government, there is a chance that SF could default on its loans. If they can't get a loan and they squeeze th…

If getting off the plane early while it's on the ground is valuable, why not charge for it? That way people who really do want to get off can? It's hard to say that deboarding earl…

That could be fixed though. If the Airline let the luggage go the final destination, they could charge (maybe $100) to return the luggage once it arrives at the destination. This w…

For the record, the reason grpc uses trailers is because it uses http/2, not the other way around. It was expected that since the whole transport was completely new, adopters of ht…

All core grpc libraries support bidirectional streaming. It's the "routeguide" example.

Finally! Up until now, when people ask how they are supposed to proxy grpc traffic, we could only recommend Envoy. Pretty much no one wants to hear that they have to change their s…

Isn't line breaking an NP complete problem, akin to bin packing? I seem to recall hearing a presentation about it in the context of autoformatters for code. For example, Auto forma…

An unfortunate part of experimenting with advertising is that it's expensive. Trying to find the right audience for the ad is very costly, to the point where I don't understand how…

America, and the market as a whole benefits because something new is created. Even if you didn't own any Apple stock, you can still buy something that didn't exist until Apple made…

It's hard to tell ahead of time if performance matters. When you hack something out, and are able to get it to work, it inevitably starts to grow features. At some point (around 10…
