Implementing both the message queue and the bank core integration service within 1 service makes for less communication/network overhead and is easier to debug, which is definitely valuable.

Seperating them out means you can use off the shelf products for the message queue and is easier to scale, which can also be valuable.

So it's likely not the MSG, but maybe the chinese restaurants these people go to have a reputation for not being the freshest? This can raise histamine levels in the food and cause the same symptoms as an allergic reaction (which it basically is).

Whatever it is, there is no reason to assume the food intolerance itself is a lie..

Fn+backspace works as a shortcut, but they’re on completely different ends of the keyboard so you need 2 hands. Ctrl+D also sometimes works but is inconsistent across applications.

Also, unlike all other vendors, Apple places the fn key on the far end of the keyboard, instead of the much more used ctrl which is now in the middle. When typing I find it much easier to quickly hit the furthest key than the middle one so I often hit the wrong one.

And Apple especially can sometimes be too stubborn to acknowledge people’s personal differences or an established industry standard.

Why not? Wouldn't it be especially important to educate these people? Overly ignorant people sure can be annoying, but at least give people some information on the right concepts instead of only derision.

If you show the wrong way to do things, it's always good to give a few pointers to a better path so part of your reader base doesn't feel excluded.

I don't see how these are clearly wrong? I guess the 'returning' is problematic?

Somehow I feel this was written with an air of superiority, the author doesn't expand on anything. I get that feeling a lot with articles about c.

And for people to participate they need some incentive or reward. So how do you ever motivate enough people to participate in your distributed ledger?

You can give them blockchain tokens of course, but now you've created a new currency again with all its associated problems. Hardly a solution for your original problem of low trust.

The Japanese taxpayer (Yen-holder) having to support the losses of Adam Neumann's personal money tree seems pretty crazy to me.
