How is that any different from standard RAID? That's exactly the problem RAID was created to solve...

I have a similar setup with 12TB capacity. ext4 over mdadm RAID-6 w/ 2 spare drives. It's specifically setup such that any single failure (including SATA expansion card) can't bring down the pool. It's been stable for ~2

Yes. The brain undergoes fewer changes during 50 years at liquid N2 temperature than 40 minutes at room temperature. Next question?

Ok I'll feed a troll. You know they are dead, how? I guess once someone is declared clinically dead, it's a futile effort right? Then how do you explain this: http://www.newsmax.com/TheWire/dead-40-minutes-man

Then why do laws change?

The other side of the story: http://www.alcor.org/press/response.html (Unless your point was that Larry Johnson isn't a believer, in which case touche. But he parted with Alcor a long, long time ago.)

Yes, because legal definitions impose their validity on the universe.

by maaku 12y ago
Not to mention that people working at Alcor are also members and believers in cryonics. They wouldn't screw you over because they wouldn't want anyone screwing them over when it's their time.

Those aren't consensus rules. They are recommended policy.

I assumed he was talking about fees. You could make the output zero-valued.

The coin you may or may not spend does not go to the people who incur the cost.

Please please PLEASE do not do this. You would be burdening every other node from now until the heat death of the universe.

Welcome to the human condition. It applies not just to first generation immigrants, but also multi-generation minority communities (try being black in America, pre-Obama) and lifestyle choices at the periphery of society (e.g. being openly

Re-read the OP; that's exactly what he was saying. A cantonese-speaking community outside of China generally means it traces its roots to pre-Communist takeover of the mainland, a time when most immigration came through the British con

Who says that democracy has to be 100%? If you want to get technical, we all live in republics anyway, not direct democracies. I know I am an outlier, but it seems a totally strange and foreign concept to me that one could criticize the UK

Yes, I have (yay protection of free speech!) and it is dreadfully boring. It is amazing though how it pretty much spells out exactly what he would end up doing once he took power, in all the horrid detail, and yet some politicians of the ti

As an American ("no taxation without representation!") I've always... admired the House of Lords. They are able to say and do things which no elected politician can, and provide a sort of stabalizing feedback to the UK's

I'm part of that statistic, having worked for the government (NASA) as a contractor. It is the contractors which make the recommendations which influence the decisions to use sites like Github.

Correct. To summarize, the stellar foundation basically runs the accounting ledger and has absolute control over what transaction are and are not processed. Of course the standard Ripple/Stellar response is to say "but you can run

There is no minimum output size. Outputs can be zero-valued.

Of course it is. Are you perfect, 100% without any flaws? How certain then are you that the employee you hire isn't going to start airing your dirty laundry at the earliest convenience?

Two million pounds sterling is a lot of money. Something like half a billion on todays markets.

Ripple (and therefore Stellar, the hostile fork) is not decentralized, at all. The underlying protocol does not work in an adversarial, decentralized context.
