I agree that version control is a fundamental part of software and if you ever have to read code I hope you have access to the versioning and issue discussions. Some people are ok …

Yes but you won't make any money. The fastest GPU you can buy right now will mine maybe 50c worth of bitcoin in the next 12 months if you run it 24/7.

I don't follow what you mean, there are loads of bitcoin prediction markets. Adding Etherium doesn't give you anything new.

All of this was already possible without Ethereum. I don't see what Etherium adds to the equation here? For example with Bitcoin you can already create escrow accounts with trusted…

Even if they can fix all of that, I still don't see the application here. It's tantalising but ... there's nothing new or interesting you can really do with Etherium. Is there?

The bit that I don't get is how Ethereum will communicate with the outside world. Example: I bet a friend that Hillary will be the next president. We create an Ethereum app/contrac…

GPUs are keeping Moore alive

7 degrees? Holy shit

Impressive, what's the speed like when you add a few bytes of payload?

They may not even be able to pay OP even if he does prevail in court. Something to keep in mind.

They say that they'll happily host 3TB databases, but the cost is too high for databases larger than a few GB. 1TB (with only 100GB of RAM) will set you back $150k a year! For comp…

Great, let's rewrite it. We'll start with this piece here and get immediate benefit without having to complete the entire rewrite first, and then we'll decide which piece to do nex…

Can't code while drunk either of course.

I'm no expert but I really don't think those photos looks like debris that's been floating in the ocean for 2 years.

They only used 175 GPUs in the match 5 months ago.
