Arbitrage involves moving large amount of volume and transactions. Arbitrage is not effective on bitcoins because there is too much risk with trading bitcoins.

To reply to your question. The problem is that the bitcoin market is plagued with deep issues. Arbitrage is hard in such an environment, that's the consequence, not a cause.

To make an analogy. Think of a sea, a sea always have fishes. If there are no fishes at all in a sea, the problem is unlikely to be the fishes. Fishes are simple animals living day to day (just like arbitragers). Most likely, the problem is with the sea, maybe it's super polluted and killed all the fishes?
There's rarely any political push to privatize things that aren't natural monopolies though, precisely because nobody is going to make bank on that.

In practice almost every privatization is simply an exchange where the new owner pays the government $x to help solve its "debt problem" (because the government may one day be rendered insolvent by running out of the cash it it prints).

Then, the public gets soaked for $nx where n is usually at least > 2 and the government officials behind the privatization get some really lucrative jobs and speaking engagements after they leave office.

Problem with RISC-V is exactly what makes it strong. The lack of verified software ecosystem will keep it from being main stream for at least a decade(something that until recently has held back the Arm server market, well, that and not having a reasonable server core..fixed with the ThunderX2). The fact that you can add instructions quickly is another problem, well, that and the lack of a standardized verification suite for the ISA so that software devs know that implementations are up to spec when they write code for them. I can definitely see RISC-V accelerators taking off though, driven by a more stable x86/Arm/Power core. To me, that path for RISC-V makes a lot of sense.
I think you're kidding, but just in case not: Communism never did any little guy any favors. I can't even imagine the amount of suffering that would go on for children "raised by professionals" given the amount of documented abuse that takes places in institutions like boarding schools, foster homes, and so forth. Nobody loves a kid like his/her own parents do. Not to say that many families don't abuse their kids, but the idea that society would care better for a child is a concept that has been thoroughly and completely debunked time and time again.

As far as removal of private property, I don't think I like the living conditions in Venezuela, Cuba, or China very much, thanks. Again, nobody cares about property better than its owner, someone with a vested interest in maintaining it.

Governments in Europe are especially renowned for the any work is better than none approach

Are they now? It used to be true in the east bloc countries when they were all communist, but it's not remotely true in today's Germany where OP lives.

Having experienced living in numerous countries i can safely say that taxes are often (not always) poorly spent in Europe

People say that, and I hear: Taxes are not spent the way I would spend them, if I were in power.

when i see public sector inefficiencies on the scale that they exist in Europe

Please be specific about which inefficiencies your are referring to.

European countries are doing very well on the list of riches countries in the world as measured in GDP per capita. That would be quite surprising if their large public sector really were so horribly inefficient.

It seems like most companies have non-disclosure agreements with employees, and if so, that they’d generally cover providing assessments like this.

At a typical tech company, most ratings, and any rating about code quality or architecture, would derive from confidential information (and whatever one’s opinion of non-compete agreements, non-disclosure agreements don’t harm one’s future choices and are usually pretty logical).

What’s your take on that?

I've heard it claimed that the delays in Intel's new process node were mostly due to problems debugging the cobalt metal layers. If that's true I wonder if other players will avoid it for a bit? But the problems it solves will only get more pressing as feature sizes shrink so that might not be feasible.

My impression of Intel's process compared to most foundries is that they tend to have higher drive currents at a given node leading to faster switching speeds but also more restrictive design rules leading to lower practical densities then the standard cell size would predict. And making it hard for them to act as a foundry, though it's still possible. But my understanding at this level is tenuous and don't place too much weight on it.

And overall the general slowdown in Moore's law means that Intel's technology lead has less of a performance/price ramification.
Revenue requires investment, profit requires creativity
I don't think so. First, just to make sure there aren't any points of confusion... Erlang/Elixir processes are not OS processes (https://elixir-lang.github.io/getting-started/processes.html). As such, we really can't speak of processes in Erlang/Elixir and other kinds of systems on any sort of equal footing. In Erlang, processes are much lighter weight than OS processes. And you do expect them to go wrong... so Erlang has the idea of "Supervision Tree" where there are Supervisor processes whose job it is to monitor other processes and to manage their failure when it occurs. There can be multiple Supervisors which influence one another, or not, as you design them too (thus the "tree" bit). Naturally you plan for these sorts of failures in designing what is/is not a process, what dependencies there may be, what any Supervisor watches and how the Supervisors relate to one another.

Erlang/Elixir also seems to have one of the strongest availability and concurrency stories out there on its own. Part of this comes from the aforementioned built in assumptions around isolating and managing failed processes, but the other is in terms of the relative ease of starting processes as needed, and accessing the processes of other Erlang VMs (same server or not). It's clear you have to architect and build things correctly to take full advantage of these capabilities, but I think you can get to the place you describe without necessarily taking on a bundle of different applications for different purposes.

For example, for many of the use cases I think of Redis, Erlang offers a number of different ways to deal with such task out of the box: https://blog.codeship.com/elixir-ets-vs-redis/ Again, you have to think about how you architect things, but you can use the same toolbox for much of the work.

I'm still new to Elixir/Erlang, but I've been studying capabilities and architecture for several months now. I think there are sufficient differences in Erlang's approach as compared to other more common stacks that it really does benefit one to come at it fresh and not make very many comparative assumptions. In my own learning I've found that to just get the basic feel for what this Erlang/Elixir animal really is, that the Elixir side is more approachable. The documentation tends to be a little more direct and tends to be more beginner friendly. After I got the very basics down, I was able to look at the Erlang side and understand really what they were trying to say.
This reminds me of a story one of my college professors told about the days when he helped automate factories in the 80s. Every night, the control server hey installed would go offline around 1am then come back up a few minutes later. It was never the exact same time or duration. After a few days of diving through the code with no progress, one of his co-workers decided to stay up all night at the factory and just watch the server. Around 1am, the cleaning lady came in, unplugged the server and plugged in her vacuum.

> You're selling part of the nation's infrastructure, that was paid for by taxpayers, to now be exploited for profit

Maybe. If it's taxpayer funded infrastructure, it doesn't perpetuate itself by self determination. It must be maintained with more tax dollars.

Assuming the cost is equal whether it's privatized vs. state-owned, then it all boils down to a matter of ideological preference. Some object to others making a profit off of a public good. There may or may not be merit to those arguments, but they're completely orthogonal to whether or not there are costs associated with their maintenance, because there always are.

The taxpayers always end up paying twice.
Who cares about infrastructure benchmarking?
>Lazy Loading can also screw you, but again, it's just wonderful when you use it right.

That's funny - the first thing I do when starting a new project is turn off lazy loading globally. I find it hides poorly-performing code until it's causing problems; the equivalent code without lazy loading usually just throws an exception.

Granted I've only been in the industry for 3 years, so /shrug

Also, question: you mention code-first and migrations... do you think you'd rather use SQL for your schema definition/migrations if the tooling was better? I find SSDT doesn't quite cut it :(
> Overture is a powerful JS library for building really slick web applications, with performance at, or surpassing, native apps.

Surpassing native apps? Yeah, right.

Edit: Site is working now!
I find it so interesting how different "tech" companies and "industrial" companies are from each other (apparently engineers who work in the industry such as OEMs are not really "tech" from what I read in the media, shrug). I worked from startup (that was working on only hardware) to multi-billion "life-style" companies, and I never hangout with my coworkers after work, let alone beer-bashes. I have a coworker who won't even come to free Christmas lunches. It's just expected where we can talk and joke during work, but when it comes to personal time, its personal. Also as a MechE, people tend to listen to you more when you're more experienced (typically older), not the other way around. People I work with understand while dreams are important, it does not feed your family. I really want to get into the software side of things but the culture from what I read is almost repulsive...

> Both your analysis and Peter Thiel's are coming from that weird place where becoming filthy rich is the only marker of success

Actually, it looked like his analysis was for what was required to break even, on the average. Invest 10 million (across 10 companies), get back 10 million in profit from the 1 (of 10) that succeeds.
I agree - it is simple, and I've taken courses/learnt it in the past, even. Yet, every time I go to apply it, I completely sit in puzzlement about my next action.

I'm sure it simply has to do with practice. As a backend dev, I rarely touch frontend, so it's a mindset that I continually forget. Regardless, it's quite frustrating when I actually have to touch anything UI related. Sucks
Speaking as one, I can tell you that having a couple million takes the edge off of everything in life. You don't sweat buying a house or pretty much any new car anytime you want it. The monthly bills are in the noise as far as concerns in life. I still go to work every day but I won't be working until age 65, that's for certain; not full time, anyways. My kids will be able to be entrepreneurs if they wish, they have a comfortable fallback that I never had. Less stress in life is a good thing.

What's different today is that inflation and high taxes have wrecked the middle class. The truly rich are the $100M and billionaire types whose wealth has run away from the rest of the people. Almost none of the truly wealthy are that way because they were smart (merit) only a few are. The rest . got rich either because they were lucky or because of some angle they could exploit such as favorable connections or regulatory capture. Above them, Old Money rules the world by at least one order of magnitude.
Site is down :P seems down from github what socked me was command:

They presented one reason: the system will swap out more or less unused memory and give that much more space for disk cache, etc.

Now, I'm not sure I find this a particularly compelling reason. I suppose it depends on how much RAM you have available for cache vs how much unused junk gets swapped out. If you've got 5G of unused RAM and 300M extra of stale allocations that get swapped out, then it's probably not going to impact your system in any measurable way.

I personally like a quick OOM, myself, rather than a machine slowing down to a crawl for multiple minutes while swap gets exhausted.

you can have lots of dynamic sql but that might become a rabbithole, just as with an ORM. It sounds like a problem you shouldnt have, now throwing an ORM at such a problem... might lead to even more strange issues down the road...
Not just PostGres. That's standard SQL. Columns have data types. Tables have schemata. Schemata are very strongly typed. Can't insert a 'full_name' column into a table without such a column.

The BEAM itself. Erlang predates Linux.

When you're coming from Rails/Sidekiq world a process can seem very fragile because you're usually thinking of it like a thread or a Sidekiq job.

With a Sidekiq job, the jobs are kept in Redis and what's actively being worked on is tracked by Sidekiq in Redis. Even if you switch to a different store like Mongo for job details, you still have to have Redis available just for the progress tracking.

This background job will usually run through and execute a lot of sequential steps. When writing a Sidekiq job you are supposed to build it so that if it fails at some point along the way, the job can run again. Failures will trigger retries or exhaustion failure cases and log the error out to Redis for your Sidekiq dashboard so that you can do something different with it at that point.

The job is running in it's own thread which doesn't have a clean tracking mechanism via Sidekiq, so the only option to retry happens by re-queuing the job. Your database connection pool has to be increase to match your concurrency level in most cases as well and the concurrency has to be closely watched to track resource usage by job type in multiple job queues to ensure that too many heavy jobs don't take over and prevent other things like emails or push notifications from getting out on time.

That's with everything that's built in plus a few extensions.

Now, compare that to how processes work with Elixir/Erlang.

Processes are so small (0.5kb compared with at least 1mb / thread) that each process is created with a supervisor as a standard mode of operation. Each job has it's own personal supervisor that will see if an error happened and immediately restart the job (with backoff). No external dependency, re-queuing or special tracking needed (although there are plenty of options).

Because the processes are so small, in most cases you won't have a single large background job, you'll have many smaller ones breaking the entire thing into smaller pieces with other supervisors so at the point of an error, only that piece will need to restart.

Worrying about different job sizes or resource usage largely goes out the window as well because the BEAM's scheduler limits the execution time of every process ensuring that a single large job can't takeover a machine. All of the smaller ones will keep executing just as if the big one wasn't running.

Because the entire thing is built for concurrency, you also don't have to worry about the database-connection-per-job as the connection will just be checked out to make a query and then checked right back in. Because the scheduler could change context at any point, allowing a single process to hold a connection for longer than the database transaction in progress doesn't make sense.

If you really want to use the Sidekiq approach, there is a library for it available (https://github.com/akira/exq). But what you get out of the box with Elixir/BEAM is already pretty far ahead of what Sidekiq gives you.
10 minutes is the average time between the creation of the two blocks, so the time could be much greater.

Block 74638 was mined almost 7 hours after the previous one, for example, because of a serious overflowing issue.

Of course, the combinaison of "no block created in 36 hours" & "the hand-calculated block is valid" is highly unlikely, but still possible.

The problem is that none of the other players so far has been able to produce chips with the size and power envelope of modern CPUs or GPUs.

Intel will release some 10nm in mid 2018 but these would be the Core M ultra low power parts.

AMD isn't going for 7nm in 2018 just yet, the Ryzen refresh slated for March of 2018 is going to be on 12nm which is a rebrand of GF14 NM process rather than a true node shrink.

I'm not entirely sure if GF or any other foundry would actually come out with large power hungry dies on 7nm any time soon.

TSMC seems not to be able to produce them even on 10nm, which is why they introduced their 12nm process which is back of the line node improvement of their 16nm node primarily so NVIDIA could produce their GPUs on it.

So far the only parts which are made on 10nm are mobile SoCs.
