The example of Venezuela doesn't show the failure of central planning. A trained hamster could do a better job with central planning than Maduro does. If you don't have hallucinations, then you could do a better job.
The Soviet Union showed that a planned economy is workable.....it just doesn't grow as quickly. Also your argument fails because Venezuela doesn't have a planned economy: they have a government that raids warehouses and then arrests people for hoarding.
Anyone who can't come up with their own original thoughts is just a parrot and not worth listening to. Copycats are dumb and make me roll my eyes. You can do better.
Can you do yourself (and the world) a favor and not call her crooked Hillary? If you want to insult her come up with your own insult, so you won't sound like copying someone, and that you possess at least some iotum of original thought capability.
I really wondered about that, then after investigating, I realized IBM is using blockchain to refer to anything vaguely related to cryptography. So if you want digital certificates, that's blockchain. If you need a random number generator, that's blockchain. If you need custom https certificates, that's basically blockchain.
That's a really good point. I'm not really sure how to handle this new situation, either. How do you make sure your code is correct, if you don't have solid understanding of the tools (and libraries) you are using?
I agree with everything you said except one nitpik: web browsers are only marginally tolerable for graphics design and brochures. Many of the designers of CSS and HTML didn't want it to be good for that, they wanted it to present information and thay was it. Other people wanted that, of course, but the result of these conflicting goals is one that does page layout, poorly. This is all my opinion, of course.
It's not THAT hard. Spend a few months learning obscure opcodes and using a profiler on your programs and you will easily figure out how to run circles around compilers.
You have too much respect for Google and Dropbox. They are both stale companies by now, with employees who are there for the perks (although Google is admittedly big enough to have some departments with good people)
Note that processing a large file will probably be bottlenecked by disk access, so the slow language and the fast language will have the same running time within a rounding error.
That's arguably true of C# too. It's nothing about the language, but the community around it makes ignorance a virtue: they celebrate that they don't have to know things, to the point that they mock people who do. Not a community that promotes skill.
To do that right, you basically have a full time DBA writing stored procedures, who also knows a LOT about security. Even then you mess up when your front end guy has no clue and makes it possible to do an XSS attack.
It's really demoralizing. It sucks all the enjoyment out of programming because the processes were designed by people who don't enjoy programming, and don't undestand how beautiful a nice clean system can be.
The dumbest thing they do is prevent building housing, but allow building office space. The obious result is that there are lots of people commuting in with now place to live. It's not hard to estimate the number of new houses that you will need when you build an office.

Then we shall say, it is the most selfish thing to do.
That gives way too much credit to the CIA. When they wanted Bin Ladin dead, they sent the Seals. The CIA is a bunch of screwups.

The blockchain is the database. The consensus algorithm addresses the Byzantine general problem.
Nice summary.
So if you lose your private key, you lose the property? It just gets deleted off the earth?

Why are you flushing and sleeping so much?
The way I heard it: "the solution will never be simpler than the problem it is trying to solve."

Not to mention anyone who writes a large project in assembly uses a decent macro system.
How do you teach them to do it right?
And his definition of carpenter is too narrow. Framers are carpenters, even if some people call them wood butchers.

Surgeon complex? :)

Suddenly everyone cares about social norms.
