It makes perfect sense when you consider that the average Javascript developer does not know that business logic can exist outside of React components.
Yea I understand maybe 10-20% of these AI clowns don't know what they're doing, but to suggest they're all making a mistake this silly doesn't stack up IMHO.
I keep seeing this implication that microservices somehow allow teams to move faster, but every company I've seen them at has moved at a snails pace mostly because of the clusterfuck of microservices. What would've been a trivial change in a monolith became a cross-team nightmare.
Because, as I said in a previous post, they are adopted as a technical rather than organizational solution. Which means that either these organizations adopted the wrong technological solution for their problem without really understanding it, or that they should've tackled their organizational issues instead which could've been unrelated from microservices being the actual solution.
Gonna give you an example.
Dazn, the european sports streaming service unicorn, adopted both microservices and microfrontends as an organizational solution: they had multiple teams across different offices in the world, and this posed a lot of organizational strains.
There's a series of talks (he mostly focuses on micro frontends, but the concepts are the same) on Youtube from Luca Mezzalira (principal serverless engineer at AWS, previous chief architect of Dazn) on the topic, and he does *not* shy away from the idea of micro services and micro frontends being a subpar technical solution more often than not.
But sure, if you adapt micro services because you don't know what you're doing and you're not understanding the engineering difficulties, then you're shooting yourself in the foot and I've seen the very same phenomenon you describe: short-term velocity gains with long term penalties.
This is the main issue with tankies, not that they go bizarrely out of their way to defend the PRC (and weirdly sometimes the Soviet Union or even North Korea), but, as Westerners, every geopolitical analysis they have is Americentric. Every news article for them is framed as, "How does this affect, or, is influenced by, American hegemony?"
It often results in them completely disregarding the opinions, motivations, and agency of anyone that isn't American or a citizen of the PRC.
Most people are equally bad at math with or without a calculator. The problem for the average person isn’t that they can’t add two numbers, it’s that they can’t tell which numbers they should be adding in the first place.
I might be wrong, but I don’t think these motors are intended to be used inside the wheel. That would add a ton of additional requirements in terms of physical durability as well as constrain optimal torque and RPM of the motor design.
I believe the Aptera was originally going to have motors in the wheels... My understanding is the the first version will forego that, as there were challenges i guess, but i think they still to eventually do that.
Another usecase that already works better without any cryptocurrency or blockchain involved.
In Estonia, the government offers public key infrastructure, so any party needing to prove legitimacy of documents from a 3rd party can get it digitally signed by the originator. For example, when you need a bank statement, you can just download a signed PDF (technically it's a zip, but whatever) that proves the legal entity (or person) that ensures it's legitimate.

Agreed! But if I've learned anything in my years on earth so far, is that anything that can be misused, will be misused, and if companies and government can do something that adds more abilities for tracking people, they'll go that way. If it can work cross-border, give people the impression it's "the future" and let companies/governments get more power, then they'll continuously push for that future.
I have the last gen 27” 5k iMac with nano texture as my primary monitor these days and you can immediately tell the difference between image quality, compared to a glossy MacBook pro. Don’t get me wrong, it’s by far the best quality matte finish I’ve ever seen and I would buy it again, because it works great in a room with south-facing windows, but it definitely affects the overall image quality noticeably.
I would've agreed until Netflix did their redesign and started pushing wrestling for whatever braindead reason. Some executives should just quit.
