Perhaps someone here can answer a question I've had for a while: if you stream a video which is actually a static image (think a song on YouTube, the 'video' is just the album cover) is there any way to optimise that? Or must the server stream that same image constantly as though it was a regular video?

There is 'Sherman' for an American which is Sherman Tank -> Yank. So that can only be WW2 onwards. And 'Ruby' for curry (Ruby Murray) is from the fifties. Those are the most recent I can think of.

I do wonder why people are so motivated to help the perpetrators of violent crimes. You could take that same energy and help the victims instead. I doubt whoever suffered whatever violence it was that merited 13 years has forgotten the whole thing by now. I doubt they're stoked to see their attacker off to start a cushy new job. You don't get 13 years for something trivial.* If after that time you find it to get a job, well, you kinda have to wear that.

*for non-violent stuff, like drugs, obviously you can. I'm referring to this specific example, which is described as violent. Non-violence shouldn't impact your future in the same way.

Jobs also disappear when Amazon competes with other companies and wins which doesn't always leave heaps of choice in the labour market.

I don't doubt that it will happen regardless, but what is the point of evicting people if no-one is waiting to rent the property? If the bottom falls out of the economy and regular people can't rent then landlords are screwed aren't they? Rent-seeking is the section of the economy which has to change, I think.

Very succinct summary of why that's a wild and untenable idea.

> Don't deal with event-driven architecture when you're at MVP stage

Interested in why you'd recommend that? Event-driven architecture decouples everything up front and the benefits are immediate. In this scenario the introduction of billing is en excellent example. User does something they should be billed for? Raise an event. Listen to it to bill them. Next iteration needs to email the user or update some history? Listen to the event. And so on. All the ephemeral saas infrastructure stuff just hangs off of the domain. And writing the code that way really isn't much more onerous than otherwise so I wouldn't discourage it for an MVP.

Beat me to it!

WebAssembly. If it usurps javascript, and there is every reason to believe that it will, then it will revolutionise the web.
