AntiFa is not a Group
Drumpf going on a tirade about it being a terrorist organization. Too bad, like Anonymous and The Pirate Bay. It will pop up here and there. Good luck. -
Trump's EO on Preventing Online Censorship is un-American
"Our Founding Fathers protected this sacred right with the First Amendment to the Constitution."
Protection of Free Speech is applies to the government not private property.
"The growth of online platforms in recent years raises important questions about applying the ideals of the First Amendment to modern communications technology. .... As a result, these platforms function in many ways as a 21st century eq...

Social Unrest In the USA
Oh say can you see, by the dawn's early light. Yeah, right. Ask an American where these words come from nowadays.
United we stand, divided we fall. It has lost its touch.
Typically don't use memes, but this one hits the nail on the head PERFECTLY. Also, the image isn't embedded because I still have not loosened the filters to allow embedded images and links.
Social Unrest continues to build up
Pandemic = people dying, people losing jobs. What do Trumpers do? Protest against lockdown. "Ahhh, this ain't nazi ger...

"Why do Go articles so often have no syntax highlighting?"
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23308644
"Rob Pike, one of the 3 original Go architects, has stated in the past he doesn’t like syntax highlighting"

"Syntax highlighting is juvenile. When I was a child, I was taught
arithmetic using colored rods
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisenaire_rods). I grew up and today I
use monochromatic numerals.

https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/24/work-collaboration-unicorn-notion-is-blocked-in-china/
Notion didn't contribute to social unrest in China, but hey let's arbitrarily block it. Is it arbitrary though?
The block was instituted only to defend copy catting in China. There's nothing wrong with copy catting as long as you don't steal code as far as I see it.
I don't see anything wrong with some guy who decided to see if he could figure out how something was built and make it available in his home country because it...

Restaurants being "Killed" by Food Delivery "Apps". Long live Cloud Kitchens.
Sensational news galore.
I stopped ordering from restaurants in general because costs too much compared to buying ingredients and making a decent version of what I want. Y'know kinda like how software works and I love making customized software.
Keyword for food delivery is time.
I don't wanna spend my time to walk to the restaurant, wait, get a waiter, order, wait, wat, wait, get some food, probably s...

MySQL Binary Log Pub/Sub
MySQL's Binary Log is nice to have, but not easiest to use. Change data capture (CDC) is the primary reason why I have to do it. When a user performs and action that causes an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, I want to know about it.
Typical way is to plug it into your application, but that is prone to issues when your CDC statement doesn't run because fatal error caused your application to quit in the middle of the data manipulation statement. The entry was written to MySQL and its Binary Log though!
I've always read ...

Bad Information is a Pandemic
"That is not only not right; it is not even wrong"
- Wolfgang Pauli
Pretty much where we all are currently. Information that cannot be proven incorrect nor correct spreading around fueling sprees of bad information.
Conspiracies that most of the world won't hear, but enough for the Media (entertainment companies really) to peddle around.
FB, Twitter, Apple and Google are clamping down on ways to spread bad information resulting in some understandable misfires.
Apps being taken down even though there is no good...

I am bullish on Stablecoins and Blockchain
Blockchain
Always been bullish on blockchain for financial transactions.
Blockchain speeds up the settlement process in finance. That means bank transfers (ACH, Wire Transfer), stock transfers, escrow and anything involving recorded exchange can be settled very quickly and with low fees. ACH $3? Wire transfer fees up to $50? Insane isn't it? ACH is a patch on top of an legacy system that was not built for electronic transaction settlement.
In banking, you won't need ACH or Wire transfers anymore. Will this hap...

"They don't give him (Trump) enough credit"
I give him credit for the whole thing.
Turns out the credit runs into the red. Go figure.
Business man my ass.
