amazing how the crypto narrative changes...

before: ETH fees needs to be cheap (remember the bitcoin fees and eth wanted fees to belower?), now: ETH fees was meant to be high!

before: we need to get away from centralized exchanges for decentralization now: we need centralized exchanges

crazy.

I just watched YongYea on youtube showing the Tech Demo on PS5 and I was in awe. Being a PS user for a long time the graphics of this is amazing. I can't wait till this kind of graphics hit the VR space. So much cool stuff is going to be happening in terms of games and how we perceived reality.

"They do this for free" in return for something. Google/Youtube is not doing this for free. They are a corporation in it for the profit

I guess they are expecting x20 basing it on the 20B paid to Whatsapp

as if above never happens to traditional markets. FYI --2008 where the financial markets almost collapsed and has destroyed lives of millions of individuals.

the main problem with npm is just when its used internally. It is painful really. Using it when you have internet connection is just seamless

there was a very informative episode on Planet Money with regards to setting up shell companies. A lot of info here with regards to how names are hidden etc...it is worth a listen. The hosts setup their own shell companies:

miralabs | 10 years ago | on: AWS Java documentation is fucked

in Java you always have this.. Impl Impl Impl.. Impl everywhere. I feel it's being passed from a senior and a junior dev who interprets the "program to an interface" idiom. Its so annoying to follow a code that is deeply nested with calls on a very basic controller call. It seems to be program to think that calls will be dynamically "replaced" and "reloaded".

So much complexity in the Java world and I don't know if its because of the language has not evolved throughout the years or the quality of developers (majority) that it has produced. Reminds me of this https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpris...

We also have the same developers coding in javascript. I literally need to refactor once a 7k+ lines single ExtJS controller. Yeah Extjs is so popular in the enterprise java world.

I wonder what was the basis for Japan becoming the top economy given that they have twice as much unsustainable debt that the US plus they have a population problem.
