What are the chances that these casinos actually just use these products and donate to them? Everyone here immediately jumping to SEO conclusions, but maybe its a bit less nefarious than that?

While these are all cool, the tool they're selling just openly is made for stealing styles from other pages? I mean I get that CSS isn't copyrighted (specifically), but it does just seem like its a tool made for stealing other peoples work?

Was going to say...didn't Dany Ric say "sometimes you just gotta lick the stamp and send it" ?

So you foresee the collapse of swaths of large corporations? Or what happens when this bubble bursts

When I read these type of comments, I wonder if OP is living in some kind of bubble. Large corporations spent billions over the last years migrating to the cloud. You can't simply 'undo' that. All fine and dandy for small orgs, but they aren't the ones AWS makes most its money with.

Care to elaborate? How would a bakery using AI generated images of bread be any different than McDonalds or Burger King advertising highly photoshopped / fake products?

I run a startup that heavily relies on ads, and I can tell you for sure that we spend and measure ROI in detail. We have metrics that tell us exactly how much we need to spend to convert a user into paying user, so that we can budget ourselves accordingly; I think most low/mid tier companies do this. Of course, when you look at real giants, its a different story as the ROI is harder to measure.

Many airlines in Europe (easyjet for example) require you put in passport / ID details either when booking or checking in.

I know I will get a hail of downvotes for this, but again you're comparing apples and oranges. The operators are using crypto for a wide range of applications. Using a mixer has probably 99.9% illegal reasons and 0.1% legitimate uses. Making money laundering harder is a good thing, no matter how many people here will try to convince you it isn't.

Well I'm guessing that it's referring to the fact that 1MB sequential is essentially a bunch of random reads?

AFAIK, on SSD's there is no concept/guarantee that blocks are adjacent, so a sequential read is just a bunch of random reads.

That's a false equivalence and you know it. A browser and a coin mixer have 2 very different core audiences, aiming to do very different things. I don't know anyone who has legitimate uses for a coin mixer other than laundering/covering their tracks.

...that enabled nefarious people to go about their deeds unpunished.

It can't be that hard to google? That being said, only 14% of reactors use rivers to cool, so OP may be exaggerating a bit.

I don't know what startups you work at, but in the early stage I'm focused on keeping costs down as far as possible and producing features as fast as possible; not spending time architecting something I can do once I have a team and enough capital to develop it.

A single frontend, single backend, a single DBMS, a single data analysis tool which can connect directly. I don't need a warehouse when I have 5k users.

The is little intersection between people who do frontend development and people who are comfortable at that level with Java.

Considering the tooling for almost any frontend framework is leaps and bounds ahead any of those two frameworks, it's a no brainer why no one uses it, in my opinion.

Where and how exactly? I'm not a huge crypto fan, but what you're saying is generally a huge problem with FIAT, unless you are sending it to someone in the same country as you.

I don't really get it, it's just a product that has gone off the shelf. The xbox 360 isn't 'dead' it's just no longer sold. I don't think the kinect is any different in that sense, seeing as no new games use it.

From the Author:

>I cannot think of any honest data collection issue that would result in such underdispersion. I believe this does automatically mean some amount of data tampering (which may not necessarily have malicious intent though; but for most countries on the list I suspect it does).

I'm guessing because they give you protection without actually catching the potentially harmful virus in the first place?
