That's not a problem with feature flags per se, it's a problem with lazy implementations of feature flags. Flags should be associated with an expiry date, and company comms tooling…

> Talk to anyone who works in the industry and they're trying to solve a problem. Sure. But are those problems worth solving? How many VCs does the world need to pump cash into NFT…

I am interested in learning about how "shard chains" work. I'm concerned after reading https://ethereum.org/en/eth2/shard-chains/ that sharding is aimed at letting individual dApps…

Sorry, thought my last paragraph covered that. Can any blockchain-backed tech handle the number of transactions per second that current major credit card/payment networks do? One b…

Great pointer, thanks. This is a protocol that rolls up ETH transactions and executes them in batch, in an attempt to alleviate scalability concerns. I can't really speak to the si…

OK perfect. "Inefficient" in every sense of the word. Let's say I'm wrong and skipped over that line. What else could the various senses of "inefficient" mean in the context of thi…

So this is Yet Another Liquidity Pool? $14B is not the kind of scale I mean. That is frankly trivial especially when transactions are large (or initial funding is high). What I mea…

> But I don't understand why people get so invested in it being a scam or failure. Can't speak for everyone. But from my perspective, it's because certain "applications" are being …

Didn't pg write Viacom (shopping cart software) in 1995, and sell it to Yahoo in 1997? http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html

I'm not aware of any serious financial application running at scale and relying on blockchain under the hood. Are you? What is it? Specifically.

The parent article doesn't say anything about performance. Therefore this comment seems like a red herring. A case of not reading the article? The parent article's point is that mo…

Ideally you wouldn't waste everyone on the team's time every day just to suss out individuals who potentially can't ask for help. A competent lead or manager should be able to iden…

Re: your last example. Where is the incentive for a company to actually bother reaching into the ledger to determine who holds royalty rights? The underlying media pointed to by th…

So an NFT is a digital signature that is worthless unless it "makes a market for" itself. It is a pointer to an infinitely and freely reproducible resource, meaning the owner of th…

Ah, that is true. Full court doc for anyone interested in reading https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21165768-us_vs_rei_i...

It sounds like the bank accounts were owned by the guy's employer and he was perceived to be authorized to transact on the employer's behalf.

While true, vehicle dependency is a serious societal problem in North America that needs to be fixed. This is partially the reason. Nobody should need a personal vehicle in order t…

Pretty much every first-world country other than the USA has at least partially solved it. Social safety nets, regulation of utilities/public goods (education for example), and a g…

I think that's more of an assumption based on social norms than something we can strongly conclude is true. Here is a study that suggests alcohol is one of just four 'high risk' dr…

If you don't get a huge financial windfall, there was never a point in sacrificing yourself.

> This doesn't explain why they wouldn't accept the offer of work from /u/lopkeny12ko It sounds like OP is moving a bunch of the startup's systems onto bigcorp's infrastructure. Us…

Wasn't your argument that increased exposure leads to less harm via developing social regulation mechanisms, though? Using alcohol as an example? Yet alcohol is by far the most des…

I mean sure, but if you're already working around the framework's ORM...
