Yes. Personally I think people are underestimating the utility of a new asset class that's not london apartments or fine art for rich people to park their money in.
When you buy base and simultaneously sell future contract, you effectively lend your money to other counterparty. In ideal market this should be equal to interest on loan (as you mentioned).

There are two possibilities of what is really going on:
- either there are not enough arbitragers yet
- or you should factor in commissions, fees, ease of transferring money between exchanges, etc

Assuming you can scavenge 100% of super heated water. There is always going to be some loss factor. And if a geothermal installation is going to need several hundred million litres of water then an installation in an arid area will still be problematic.

It also comes down to how that heat is harnessed - will they be channeling the latent heat up and using it to generate steam at the surface, or will they be pouring the water down into the interior and converting it to steam within the subterranean chambers and harnessing the resulting steam pressure coming back up etc.?
> Question is how is it going to convince people to move over from Kafka

That's a bit unfair given that the project didn't mention Kafka in it's README and different products have different suitability at different scale and this could simply be a "if your traffic is low and you need this functionality, this will suffice" thing or just an academic interest in producing an ordered distributed message queue.

But as you're asking: Proven ability to consume ~5+ million messages per second with a similar or less hardware requirement than Kafka and high reliability. Well document set of edge cases / compromises where applicable and a high degree of observability. Well understood operational requirements, and SRE runbooks (or just a lot of Github issues that go into how to handle various scenario). An active community of people to assist, and more than 1 committer.

That's the "off the top of my head" thing. YMMV.

I’m Mike, a self-taught coder from Puglia (if you know Italy is like a boot, I’m from the heel!). I built Angage.net

Angage currently supports Shopify and BigCommerce powered stores only, but expanding soon! =) Here are some features:

Hunts currently trending products available for dropshipping. It also returns links to source the product directly on Alibaba, Aliexpress, Amazon as well as reviews, social campaigns about the product and how much should you selling the product for. Easily view/export this data.

Returns store currency, social accounts and social campaigns currently running, products for sale by SKUs, vendors, average product value, traffic stats, what marketing plugins are installed on the store in different categories (analytics, cart abandonment, fraud prevention, etc).

Tracks sales for about 600+ selected stores;

Searches on more than 500k products (and counting).

To build this I used free or almost-free resources and my experience. I used bulma.io, a free css framework, for the front-end and PHP + python for the back-end.

I strongly support transparency and openness by sharing our app and revenue metrics with everyone, so if you are interested you can actually see how many users the app has, how much I am making ($) and the rundown of my expenses here: http://angage.net/open

Thanks!

The price will not be able to increase to the point that the mining block bitcoin reward itself will incentivize miners. As the mining block reward approaches zero, transaction fees will be the only way to incentivize miners. Since there will be fewer transactions, transactions won't have to provide a large fee just in order to get the transaction in the next block. The reduced transaction revenue will cause many miners to leave the network. Fewer miners will mean easier difficulty. This phenomenon stabilizes when mining is still profitable at the lower transaction revenue level.

I get a number of people asking me how to become a programmer as a second career. For most of them, I wouldn't recommend going to college for it, but instead learn it on the side. Project-based learning I think is the best because it matches more "real world" programming and it's fun to see the results of your work. This seems like a good resource that fits right into that approach. I'll be passing this on to others. Good job!

Imagine if farmers were growing luxury vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, beans, instead of growing several magnitudes more of cheap crappy grains that are then filtered through bodies of animals.

Of course issues exist, because inefficiency is subsidized.

For example, growing quinoa is a freaking gold mine yet there's still not enough competition.

Yet growing corn and wheat is a life living on the edge of bankruptcy yet it is heavily subsidized by the state everywhere.

There's no free market in farming, probably never will be because the ruling class is afraid of food shortages and set-in-stone food luxury standards.
I disagree on both points. Human population spends less time in aggregate playing games that on social media. I don't have a quote from somewhere but just from the monthly active users from various social networks it is quite safe to say that almost everybody is on at least one social network.

The second thing is, that people do talk about the addictiveness and bad effects of games all the time, and have been doing so since games existed.

There will be other cryptos for different uses and Bitcoin will serve as a medium of exchange among them and as a long term store of value, it probably won’t become the everyday currency we all want to use.

4 Lessons Learned from Project Failures in Construction Industry
ballpark how much would it cost to train ImageNet (ILSVRC) on a std deep CNN arch (VGG or inception) on AWS using a p2 or p3?
The other reply to your comment is entirely valid and I encourage you to read it in full.

That said, the only way to measure a safe dose of a vitamin is to perform medical tests before and during a dosing regimen to ensure that you are neither under nor over the target levels of the vitamin in your body.

Medical science is not yet reliable when it comes to defining target levels of vitamins in any individual's body.

In general, for all body dosing regimens, the goal is to survive the dosing changes without dying first, and to produce the desired result second. If you are not treating a specific symptom and instead wish to simply calibrate your blood levels to "optimum", be warned: There is no optimum, period full stop.

For example, if you increase your vitamin D levels precisely to a target amount with careful blood testing and supplement regimes, then your risk of death from sunlight exposure may increase if/when the levels of sunlight you're exposed to shift significantly (due to work, weather, or travel). Some will immediately object that the increase in risk is vanishingly small. You are irreplaceable. What level of risk of death of acceptable to you?

Soylent calibrates their food product to 100% of all doses specified by the US RDA for healthy adults. It's generally assumed to be a safe set of targets, though some would say that it is too low in many respects (while missing the bigger picture of the 'pick one' conflict between society-level dosing and individual-specific dosing), and others would say that it is too high in many respects (while missing the bigger picture of the 'pick one' conflict between increased risk of side effects vs. increased risk of malnutrition).

There's a good reason why everyone ends up at the same sentence, and I'm going to provide it now:

Seek advice from a medical professional before consuming supplements. If you are unwilling to do so, get a med-alert bracelet and keep a summary of the past year of dosing changes in your wallet. It may someday save your life. If you are unwilling to wear a med-alert bracelet and keep a log of your self-alteration efforts, consciously accept that you risk death if unintended consequences occur.

Some of this is pretty patronising. Amongst the advanced techniques they are surprised Islamic State are able to apply they include 'even affixing written instructions [to weapons]'.

Still is a coincidence. If the original post emphasized this fact of reliance on 5-3-2 prime factors, then the post would have been only a bit more interesting. But even had the original post simply been "Our timekeeping leans heavily on 5-3-2 factors", that still isn't terribly impressive.

As I understand it the transaction throughput is limited by the block size. The difficulty adjusts so the rate at which blocks can be mined remains roughly constant, but each block is size limited so it can only contain so many transactions.
For anyone looking for some less math-based coding challenges than Project Euler, then I highly recommend looking at AdventOfCode.

I've seen #1 used many times to solve the problem of "too many regressions" with "the team just needs to communicate more" or "we should set up regular meetings to deal with this issue".

It was hard to argue that those teams weren't following both the message and spirit of the agile manifesto, as individuals and interactions were plainly taking precedence over tools and processes.

It doesn't, after all, say "individuals and interactions over tools and processes, except when tools and processes make more sense".

I used "microcomputer" in the search, which will mostly return hits from the 1980s and 1990s. That paper was from 1997. A search for "gender differences computer programming", limited to the last few years, found https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4323745/ from 2015:

This looks promising.

I'm currently dealing with a queuing-related issue.

I have a series of tasks running across servers that consume from a queue and run a task.

Often, these tasks die mid-execution (but can be resumed by any other server). So, the queue is a database, and the running tasks "touch" a timestamp in the database if they are still executing. When a database document hasn't been updated for a while, the "consumption query" makes it so that it is 'redelivered' to an available server listening to the "queue".

Of course, this is subpar, but we haven't yet come across an elegant (and not too over-engineered) way to replace this.
Well that's what I mean. People seem absolutely dumfounded that these people are able to form basic bureaucratic organisational structures. They aren't simple people.
