Strong Eventual Consistency - The Big Idea behind CRDTs CRDTs. Data structures that can be replicated across multiple nodes, edited independently, merged back together, and it all just works. But collaborative document editing and multiplayer TODO lists are just the tip of the iceberg - I believe the big application is distributed databases, and for that we need to talk about consistency. CRDTs are a tool for Strong Eventual Consistency. Let's start with the definition of normal Eventual Consi

Apple’s stance on strong encryption gets the support of the FTC in US privacy U-turn

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-22 23:35:53

Apple’s commitment to end-to-end encryption is so strong that it withdrew a key privacy feature from the UK market rather than be forced to compromise it globally. The company also faced pressure on this front from the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). In a surprising twist, the White House came out in support of strong encryption, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is now urging Apple and other tech giants to stand firm on the issue … The US’s changing narrative on strong encryption I des

CEO Demands Employees Start Using AI, Fires Anyone Who Doesn't

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-31 03:07:50

Almost three years since the release of OpenAI's explosively popular ChatGPT, it's clear that artificial intelligence isn't exactly taking the job market by storm. Sure, AI makes a convenient cover for business executives who were already looking to downsize or outsource their labor force, but the tech's myriad hallucination issues, legal risks, and security baggage make it ill-suited to automate human jobs. That's to say nothing of the fact that 95 percent of businesses gunning for an AI overh

Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-11-03 21:07:21

It’s hard to find programmers these days who aren’t using AI coding assistants in some capacity, especially to write the repetitive, mundane bits. But those who refused to try the tools when Coinbase bought enterprise licenses for GitHub Copilot and Cursor got promptly fired, CEO Brian Armstrong said this week on John Collison’s podcast “Cheeky Pint.” (Collison is the co-founder and president of the payments company Stripe.) After getting licenses to cover every engineer, some at the cryptocur

YouTube will no longer limit ads on videos that drop the f-bomb early

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-22 02:45:19

YouTube has changed its ad guideline policy surrounding swear words, allowing creators a bit more freedom than before. In a video announcement, YouTube's head of monetization, Conor Kavanagh, said that videos containing stronger profanity such as f-bombs in the first seven seconds are now eligible for full monetization. In 2022, YouTube introduced a policy that would flag videos using profane language in the first several seconds as ineligible for advertising. It relaxed that rule a bit in 2023.

Neil Armstrong's customs form for moon rocks (2016)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-02 14:37:40

by Barbara Blum If you have ever traveled overseas, then returned to the U.S., you likely filled out a “customs declaration” form on the airplane: “Are you bringing with you: plants, food, animals, soil, disease agents, cell cultures or snails? Declare all articles that you have acquired and are bringing into the United States.” Who would have guessed the regulations would have been enforced so rigorously in 1969 when three men returned to the U.S. from a rather long business trip – to

Cataphract: Medieval-fantasy roleplaying wargame, in the Black-Sea C. 1300

Cataphracts Design Diary #1 Cataphracts commanders: there is no actionable intelligence in this post. Read on. About two months ago, I reread several series on military historian Bret Devereaux’s blog, ACOUP: analyses of Helm’s Deep and Minas Tirith, breakdowns of pre-modern command and pre-modern logistics, and, of course, a post simply titled “How Fast Do Armies Move?”. I’m a fan of Devereaux’s—he writes in that delicious space of really knowing his history yet also with the understanding he

Brian Armstrong says Coinbase spent $50M fighting SEC lawsuit — and beat it

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-11-16 08:38:22

Coinbase on Friday said the SEC has agreed to drop the lawsuit against the company with prejudice, meaning it cannot be filed again. The move, which is still subject to the approval of the SEC’s Commissioners, is yet another signal that the Trump administration plans to be more friendly to crypto than the SEC was under former leader Gary Gensler. The SEC’s lawsuit, filed in 2023, alleged that crypto assets were securities and that Coinbase was operating as “an unregistered national securities
