All of Pooter's posts have five hyphens on the last line. So maybe this triggers the spam filter.

I found the following article: http://hiwaay.net/~becraft/FRS-myth.htm#hd25 Apparently the Fed's revenue is not 'destroyed' but transferred to the Treasury.

No, I wanted to point out that the total amount of debt can be larger than the total amount of (physical) money.

If there is only $100 in the economy, I can still owe you $105. To pay it back, I could start working for you and be paid $1 per hour. Now everytime you pay me $1, I would pay you back this dollar until my debt is zero. In the real-world, w

The two generals problem doesn't mean distributed transactions are impossible. It just means that you cannot guarantee liveness, i.e. a distributed commit protocol might block if the network fails. But it will never yield an inconsistent st

Did you even read the Paxos Commit paper? There is no single arbitrator. And what is 'unknown state' intended to mean? The system will obviously always be in a known state. It will just block as long as there is no network connectivity.

The author is wrong. Distributed transactions are possible, for example using the Paxos algorithm. In Paxos, if the network fails, the system will block (i.e. become unavailable) until connectivity is restored. It's not possible for one nod

For apps sold on the Android market Google takes a 30% transaction fee, which is split between the payment processor and the carriers. Since AFAIK Google Checkout is the only supported payment processor, that should give them some revenue.

Regarding point 2, I wonder how much of a benefit Itanium would see from JIT-compiled languages, because the JIT could then dynamically arrange instructions to maximize ILP.

I agree. The US is in a deflation and I don't think the Fed will be able to stop it. So cash should gain in value. Just make sure to put it somewhere safe, as banks may go bankrupt in a deflation and the FDIC will most likely not be able to

No. The WebSockets API in Javascript only allows acting as a client, not as a server.

Distributed transactions generally use 2 phase-commit (2PC). If message loss happens, the 2PC algorithm will block, i.e. the transaction can neither be committed nor aborted. When the network gets reliable again, the algorithm will finish.

ZMQ is much lower-level than AMQP. ZMQ is pretty much a thin layer on top of TCP (or alternatively UDP) which offers basic messaging semantics like Publish/Subscribe. You create ZMQ-sockets on multiple machines and data written to one socke
