Even with a library like async there will be so much boilerplate, since you need to handle (or pass) errors every step of the way. With async/await you only need to deal with errors at the level you actually care about them (using the

Researchers are not paid for the research, just the publishers. I can only see quality going up without them moderating and filtering with their misaligned incentives.

You can control Google's scraping by specifying a robots.txt, which most people won't do because they want Google to index them. The article means parties who don't care about what you want.

A lot of companies in all kinds of sectors (finance, healthcare, etc) are looking into blockchain (or DLT) because it allows for a database model that is not centralised. This is great in situations where you don't fully trust other pa

Proof of existence is a major problem at the moment. Everyone around me (at an EU bank) wants to do this on bitcoin or ethereum main net, but right now banks are not allowed to touch these networks from the regulators (from a "miners a

Trust is not always so black and white (as on the open internet where anonymous people try to scam each other), in a lot of business cases there are different levels of trust which needs to be handled in a different way.

You are not talking about sending money, but converting money from one type into another, namely fiat money (which is exactly why all the KYC regulation is required). Try converting one crypto currency into another using shapeshift and see

I rather move to linux than to Windows, I'd say I am definitely not the only developer to say so.

You are right, but I guess Microsoft is somewhat biased towards their own products (Windows in this case).
