An email did it for me. Couldn't believe I had to, though.

For me dev-ops is exemplified by:

1. Everything being scripted, reviewed and in the repo (no ad-hoc actions on prod)

2. Processes are ephemeral (containers)

Everything before that (VMs..) is in the age of the sys-admin.

Update to correct myself - can't believe that it's not fiction..

Quite!

Consider for example that TCP sockets are not available in the browser. There are other protocols available, but no simple TCP sockets. So you can see there are fundamental differences there that cannot simply be abstracted over.

I used RescueTime when I was freelancing. It's an app you install and it tracks what you're working on down to the second. It works by reading the titlebar of your current app, so it works well for development, and you can set up filters in the web dashboard to divide by projects and so on. Of course there's a privacy trade-off to consider as it's a SaaS.

Appreciate the correction. I assumed it because of the last line "More Information on Chatcontrol: www.chatcontrol.eu" - that link literally redirects back to his own website.

Yes; or satire, or propaganda.

That is an extremely enlightening link.

Agreed, I noticed that too ;)

That's incredible!

> You could argue bitcoin is centralized by that same logic because it depends of the internet.

Because that's never happened (see: QuadrigaCX, Cryptopia, ...)

Until you can't.

Less-popular and original, interestingly in this case.

How many people get to vote on EIPs, out of curiosity?

Fantastic post.

It can compute anything you want it to compute.

Impressive!

The miners do not give Ethereum its value; the market does.

That's correct. Which makes it all even more absurd. Although the smart contracts are there forever, so at least it can't "go bust" (although the web front-end certainly could).

It would be equivalent of Sotheby's starting a second brand competing with themselves, but yes.

Correct. Although there is only one brand that has sold a Tweet NFT for $3mil.

The enforcement, interestingly, is more traditional; the owners of the "Valuables by CENT" trademark can use existing legal structures to prevent anyone else using that name.

Meanwhile the NFT is digitally linked to the Valuables by CENT smart contract on Ethereum, which will presumably have an 'author' property attached to it, set to the string "Valuables by CENT".

It certifies two things:

1. That you paid a certain amount for the certificate.

2. That there will never be another certificate for the same thing, from the same brand of certificates (e.g. "Valuables BY CENT").

Pretty much exactly like owning a baseball card, then.

Let's hope nobody will lose their head over this.

As I understand it:

level 1 = expect car to go into ditch if you're not careful

level 2 = hands on steering wheel but it should be ok (Tesla)

level 3 = hands off steering wheel, looking around, expect to have to take over control (Honda's beta test)

level 4 = either taking over control rarely needed, or vehicle has limited ability (e.g. can't drive in snow)

level 5 = you can sleep

The confusion lies around whether we're allowed to watch TV - however I'm fairly sure no country or state has passed legislation allowing us to take our eyes off the road while driving.

These demos remind me of Flash..

Yeesh

An enterprise client of a cloud vendor will have dedicated account technicians - response time is extremely fast (minutes or hours). Perhaps things have improved compared to some of the other comments here.

The other consideration is that things generally don't just 'go down' like they do with bare metal (because HA - replication and so on), but if they do, it's likely affecting a large portion of the internet too.
