Yes! You can control for human risks in the tail scenarios. You can't control for the tail scenarios in AI because you don't know what on earth they are, they are a nasty surprise,…

He only resubmitted 10 days ago. Presuming there was something missing with his first application, something like this would need to go through a legal area internally at Amazon to…

>they're selling them on USDT-USD markets. My hypothesis is they get dripfed onto these markets so as not to spook them. Or just transferred off to collateralize other trades - hey…

I think the ponzi continues to work for now, the arbitrageurs can cash out, while the illusion that tethers are backed prevails. So indeed if no one does redeem these USDT as I kee…

Thanks, that is very enlightening. So Tether are all about maintaining the apparition of a 1:1 backing of USD to USDT. It's the lynchpin of the whole scam. Otherwise the step above…

Do you have some modelling, or any credible reference to back up your assertion that the energy used by banks would be higher than a Bitcoin blockchain?

Ah good insight, thanks.

Precisely! So picture some, however oversimplified, code which searches a customer's orders, determines which is a phone product id, remembering they sell other stuff which we woul…

While I disagree with the positions put forward by lolc and flukus, that Librem 5 should have the customer address modelled analogously to some 'fast moving goods' e-commerce imple…

Well the Librem 5 is not another 'widget in a warehouse'. It was always going to be a long wait to delivery, due to the enormity of the undertaking. This was not a surprise to anyo…

It's precisely the "this is the way it's done" approach you mention, which means they now have to pay a human to do the work their web stack ought to do!

I smell a NoSQL database keeping those addresses.

Two simple questions. How long does the battery last, while largely sitting on my desk not being used? Can it make and receive calls and texts?

Does screen sharing fall into one of those categories?

How many times in an interview has anyone even showed anything beyond a superficial level of interest in your hobby project? Just mindless box ticking

I think people initially work on some of these projects, at least in part, to beef up their CV and make themselves more hirable. Every second tech job advertisement these days brai…

"killing it" is slang for doing really well.

They haven't gotten away with it yet. They are trying it on, wait until it is tested in a court.

This company has given me so much, you simply cannot criticise. I still remember spending all night on battlenet playing sc1 back in the day. Big bottle of coke, some candy, headph…

I noticed it requires access to the clipboard plus browsing data, among a slew of other stuff.

It's more overhead in the sense that mobx needs to walk all your store objects and check for changes, on top of what React does. Anyway that's fine if you really need that precisio…

To be honest I don't understand why people use mobx this way. I mean short life store objects, populated by props, that are recreated every mount. Might as well just use React stat…

I think you are essentially talking about unit testing your stores, and in the case where there might be a lot of logic inside them, is a good idea in principal. But take the case …
