Yep, hence node's advantage of offering much higher concurrency for the same memory usage.

>because the threaded code blocks. Python and Java threads don't block on I/O, only on CPU. Event loops (i.e. node) also block on CPU. AFAIK, node's advantage over threads was just that it offered much higher concurrency f

Agree it has the potential to be as disruptive to world society as the web or smartphone. I mined a few satoshis in early 2014, stopped when hash difficulty got too hard and didn't pay Bitcoin much attention for the next few years. A c

>Err, I hope not. Pretty sure they sync a database of seen blocks between clients and they collectively dedupe based on that - their backend simply shouldn't have the information necessary to dedupe itself. Think you're right b

Ha, I think your friend is right :) The size of that list just goes to show there isn't a "one size fits all" backup solution out there. SpiderOak is my sweet spot but YMMV. Think they offer a free trial (or they used to at l

Not sure how recently you tried it but the current SpiderOak One app is solid and polished (imho anyway). It just works and is brain dead simple to use. Much more so than I remember Crash Plan ever being (admittedly haven't used them i

I think https://www.spideroak.com fits your list (specifically "One" which is their consumer solution/app). I'm a happy user who's had an account with them for years (it costs me under $10/month iir

Hero is a bit strong. He rashly decided to register a domain name without knowing how the malware would respond to that. By luck it de-activated itself when the domain became active. The malware could just as easily have decided to encrypt

Pick your poison I guess. Skimming Shapeshift's T&Cs, it seems their maximum liability to you is $50. So if you want to convert 1BTC to ETH (for example) and something goes wrong at Shapeshift's end and they don't transmi

Not sure. According to Jack Churchill's wikipedia page (worth reading - the long bow is only the half of it), he wrote a book about his exploits.

Stop getting excited and not doing are two different things :) Of course I'll continue recycling, using renewables and making sensible transportation choices. There's no negative with any of that, so why not. It's just hard

Yeah, it's infuriating. I'm hoping Revolut enables bitcoin on their platform soon. Until then, will check out localbitcoins.com, thanks.

Can anyone recommend a decent exchange that supports deposits and withdrawals from a UK GBP bank account without needing to do a SEPA or SWIFT transfer? Neither Kraken nor Bitstamp do :(

At the moment, aggregate SaaS costs and data licensing but I expect marketing to eventually become the biggest cost after salaries (or even the biggest overall).

Sorry to go slightly OT here but just for my own sake... can someone tell me where the bottom figure appears in the top figure? Tried quickly googling for it but can't find this test anywhere other than on the OP blog. No matter how lo

It's more anecdote/speculation on my part than fact but I noticed many (most?) families would vote as a block on historic lines. So, if your mother and father were left, everyone in the family would always vote left (regardless of
