That is correct. But this is only for March 30. On the day before the buy/sell liquidity were roughly equal. You can click on a point in the time series graph to see this.

That depends. E.g. if it costs $100bn to build enough of these to store the power needed to go from 97% to 100% then it may just not be worth it.

I find the AWS docs too verbose, however it’s quite possible that doing something in AWS is just more complicated than doing it in GCP. In that case the issue is not with the docs, but with the complexity of AWS vs GCP. Either way GCP has a

I use GCP for hobby projects because it’s simpler than AWS, has a better GUI and better documentation. For a commercial project I would probably go with AWS, since I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about GCP support. I’ve been scared away

The top bid is currently quoted at 0.015. Which currency is this? Why don’t they specify this? I see a dollar equivalent, but I don’t see how they translate from the 0.015 figure. EDIT: Never mind. Apparently, the symbol Ξ refers to the E

If you can’t withdraw a cryptocurrency from an exchange you’re trading a “cryptocurrency index”, not the currency itself.

I wonder if there’s such a thing as intuitive syntax. As far as I can see, the arrow signifies function application. Why do you consider “a -> f” more intuitive than, say, “f(a)” or “f a”?
