Have you heard of exponential back off? Tl;dr make the sleep time dependent on the mumtof retries


you are right, it was a secret.


'Final solution' was classified all the way till the end of the war, only some of the party and SS officers knew about the scale of the plan and the name itself. Ordinary Germans, both soldiers and civilians, knew little about it. Any kind of deliberate violence was never on Nazi's electoral leaflets (who would voluntarily vote for it?).

This speech is precisely an example of what it is exposing – clickbaits.


Exactly!


On the other hand, "doing something about" the victims of the camps was there from day 1.


it should have been called 'How to implement Enum in Javascript'


so instead of spying on the level of websites, it is moving to the level of a browser? And not only aggregated clicks, but detailed statistics of browsing time per user?

Meh.


Can't wait for the driving lessons in a self-driving car


what you really need is easier visas for overseas engineers, the EU has a shortage themselves. Right now only few huge companies provide them.


yeah but Eastern Europeans that we got through the EU were culturally equivalent, the ones further east are much more of a crapshoot and the now the EU ones are less likely to want to come since we exited the EU because it doesn't guarantee them the rights they now expect. Any visa fix is not as good as what we already have.


Well, there are some improvements over existing systems (e.g. fiat money):

1. Less costs to switch to a competitor comparing to banks and states which leads to 2. The governance body and all influential members are really in need of public approval of their actions since that is exactly what makes a coin worthy. If they change protocol in a drastic way, the price will immediately plummet leaving them in tatters 3. Same mechanism prevents conflicts within the community

In general I would like to see more about the role of law in economics and possible tech implementations of it (meta-protocols?)


If we're talking about "mass" adoption, which suggests consumer-level adoption?

Point #1 is exactly not what you want. It means your currency can lose value almost instantly. Fiat currencies can do this, but only rarely actually do.


As the commentators on the website mentioned, this method does not preserve the closeness of the points (when going from 2D to 1D), so it is unclear how can it help the author.


True, but it is much better at preserving closeness than the alternative he mentioned (lexicographical sort).
