Counter argument rather than rebutal. What you describe does not take into account the possibility to have internal market pick up. "Sexy" can be counterbalanced by willingness to buy the local brand, because more atuned to local

What would be the actual consequence of Nakamoto declaring Bitcoin a "failed Project"?

Having just gone through bad experience with co founders, I should be on the same page as John. But I am not. It is essential to have co founders even with all this accelerating software available, just because of the fatigue. It's a l

Your comment echoes a doubt I have. Is there really a sizeable market for this? It's not such a new concept as one may believe. For example, in some offices, such robots carried around the mail 15 years ago already.

In metro systems, 50 percent of service affecting failures come from passenger exchange. Majority of the remaining failure come from vehicle failures. Failures due to driving mistakes are very few. Passenger flow management is the hard part

Same thought here... Funny thing, if I put such app on the wall with a state-of-the art flatscreen display, I should be as mesmerized, if you consider how extraordinary such a device is. Chances are it won't have this effect at all. We

I never wrote Thorium was the one final solution but "a" solution. And I also wrote that there would be challenges. I replied to a question about whether such design existed. If other fuels can be used than Thorium, that is fine w

Let me sum it up, removing the usual layer of intimidation and mockery: - This is crap but humf yeah it can work on principles - Reactors are not designed to make bomb but humf yeah a couple of country have these around. Oh you know, detail

Conceptually, Thorium reactors are an answer known to be workable. To put it simply the reactor is like a bowl of radioactive soup with a plug at the bottom made of ice and self refrigerated using the power produced by the reactor. If it st

Great tool, but not to be put in the wrong hands. The folks at Django got it right. We used it for unifying, simplifying and ensuring consistency of deeply nested configuration data entered using different means. However, in environment wit

Thanks for that comment. I felt I was the only one thinking that these drones in the sky constitute a major pollution and visual agression. In my case, it triggers the exact same revulsion I have when I discover a big spider walking on my c

Frustrating or motivating? As far as I am concerned, if I live long enough to get even a blurry image of an exoplanet, I will die happy. And the best part: I have a good chance of this happening: http://exep.jpl.nasa.gov/pr

You are spot on. You can do what Erlang does in many ways. It's the combination of all this, built into a coherent architecture, that makes OTP unique.

When you build highly distributed systems, making sure a value is properly transferred across different types of machine is actually not a trivial task because sender and receiver may encode values differently at the bit level (for example,

Absolutely yes. If you need an example of 3D à la Erlang, have a look at Wings 3D. http://www.wings3d.com/ .

Impressive. Would you mind explaining how you collect the data?

Erlang team has an unparalleled understanding of time and how to manage it properly in highly available systems. Studying their time elapsed measurement code should be compulsory reading.
