So far, Google search results are far better than everything else I tried. Granted, I haven't tried yacy, but I doubt it would have the type of data aggregation that makes Google results what they are.

The requirements in infrastructure are not symmetrical here. An indexer requires a significantly bigger investment in both storage and computational power than either a crawler or an end-user site. Seems like everyone would want to run a cr

Hopefully this could be market regulated, if a particular crawler gets caught making things up or doing otherwise a bad job crawling, indexers could simply stop using it in favor of a different crawler.

Really? How can it run a web server container, for example, without root permissions? You need root to listen on port 80.

Lets forget about the politics for a moment, but I am curious. What exactly is so difficult about a vote counting app? Why is it hard? It seems like a relatively easy thing to do, but I must be missing some hidden complexities.

Agreed. As I have said previously in a similar discussion, I don't think censorship works very well beyond a few specific cases (yelling "Fire!" in a theater and things like that). I would rather racists and misogynists and a

Microservices provide an abstraction. That is kind of the point. If you feel like the data yours service operates on would be better off stored in a redis database instead of an RDBMS, you can rewrite your persistence layer, test and roll o

I am not sure about that. Both RESTful APIs and GraphQL APIs need to be designed and flexibility is basicaly a measure of how good your API design is. I don't see how GraphQL is intrinsically more flexible.

Lets not focus on the actual numbers. What happens if someone wants to conduct a transaction and there are no stake holders big enough? With proof of work it is not a problem, but if stakes have to be commensurate with the transaction amoun

I would expect that this is because the rest of the network needs to agree with your version of history. And they will only accept your vote if you stake the currency they already recognize, not the currency you made up in your version. So

How does this deal with very large transactions? If someone wants to pay someone a billion ETH, where do you find enough stake-holders with big enough stakes?

Eh... you are still stuck with LISP. We are talking about an alternate syntax where (x y) is not a function call.
87.
by MadWombat 7y ago
Hmm... I see. (x y) is a list, g (x y) is a function call, f (...) is another function call, so f (g (x y)) is (f (g x y)) in regular LISP syntax. The syntax is parsed from innermost to outermost, so where is the ambiguity?

by MadWombat 7y ago
well... (1 2 3) is syntactic sugar for (cons 1 (cons 2 (cons 3 nil))). What prevents someone from adding syntactic sugar f (x y) for (f x y)?
