There is an argument that block propagation and orphan rates acts as natural barrier to the blocksize. With a very large blocksize limit, miners who produce blocks which are very b…

Bitcoin is not slow. It's fast, if you are prepared to pay for it. This is where the disagreement lies. Should the price of on chain transactions be reduced and remain low.

Brilliant analogy.

~12k thousand years ago is when it appears we first started to form together into large communities, Göbekli Tepe is a good example. More here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Göbek…

Thank you. After reading their website, the GitHub page and all the comments down to this point, your comment is first thing which explains what Parse is/was.

Getting rid of the zookeeper requirement is a huge plus. Adds complication to the stack when trying to automate the deployment process. Maybe you could achieve a similar thing with…

Yep, if you ever want a good nights sleep, go somewhere you haven't been before and spend a few hours walking around. Gets the mind working overtime, in a good subconscious way.

"- Realizing that anxiety isn't who you are, but more like a disturbance that will pass" Absolutely. Roll with it, it will pass, there is no question of this. Keep going, if you ca…

Only because he was an early adopter of his own product. He released it to the world and kept on mining to keep the project going. He didn't pre-mine and then release it. There is …

Yes the trade balance at the moment is negative, which is why we need the £ to fall in value, so we can export more and reduce the trade deficit. Germany loves the Euro for the sam…

I've not met anyone who voted to leave the EU complaining. We were all aware there would be short term pain for long term gain. Most of the moaning comes from people who wanted to …

This might be daft question but I'll ask it anyway, how were they able to do this? Is the official version opensource or did they have have to reverse engineer the whole thing?

Ah the memories. From memory, and obviously we are going back a long time here, there was a program in there which you could write to make it sound like a baby was crying ( it kind…

Remember waiting for the C64 port to come out, right at the end of it's life. It eventually game out and I played it on a demo cassette from a c64 magazine. It wasn't great after h…

Use 5 zookeepers, on a separate set of servers. Use configuration management such as chef to allow you to quickly build new nodes and to roll out changes accross the cluster. You w…

I agree, but when I say kids I was thinking more of young kids. Say up until 7 or 8. You don't tend to see much bullying at that age, maybe teasing a bit but they don't seem to be …

Totally agree with this, but I can understand why they are able to do it. Kids don't judge. As a kid, you can meet another kid and get straight in there asking the important questi…

Maybe someone can chip in here but I was under the impression virtual particles didn't actually exist, they were just used to simplify our understanding of particle interactions. T…

At it's most basic, the Lightning network is just a way of implementing pre payment cards for Bitcoin. Its over engineered and over complex. Which is demonstrated by the comments h…
