I'm Venezuelan. All I can say is: I know, and that's why I dedicated ten years of my life to help Bitcoin succeed, mostly in the form of Bitcoin Cash these days. I oppose socialism and understand how Bitcoin can help prevent elitists from gaining control over the economy.

My goal as a pilot is never to attract Juan Browne's attention. :P

It seems to me that there is a bias for complexity among software engineers. When faced with a problem, they seem to be deliberately choosing the most complex possible solution for it.

When another programmer runs a problem and proposed solution by me, the most common answer that he gets is: "the solution to that problem can be a lot simpler". Then he thinks about it and comes up with a significantly simpler, better solution on the spot. But I notice a touch of irritation, a hint that he doesn't really want to do it the simple way. It baffles me.

This is complexity for complexity's sake. Pay no attention to the disclaimer at the start of the article. They threw every buzzword-heavy bit of tech they could find at it, creating a Frankenstein monster.

And here I was expecting a deep analysis of Cybertron’s diaspora.
