AWS offers a similar service for anyone interested. https://aws.amazon.com/kms/ You can limit access to the keys based on IAM instance profiles. So that only certain instances can access specific credentials.

There is an argument that block propagation and orphan rates acts as natural barrier to the blocksize. With a very large blocksize limit, miners who produce blocks which are very big, run the risk of a smaller block from a competing miner w

Bitcoin is not slow. It's fast, if you are prepared to pay for it. This is where the disagreement lies. Should the price of on chain transactions be reduced and remain low.

Thank you. After reading their website, the GitHub page and all the comments down to this point, your comment is first thing which explains what Parse is/was.

Getting rid of the zookeeper requirement is a huge plus. Adds complication to the stack when trying to automate the deployment process. Maybe you could achieve a similar thing with the Scala version however. For the Kafka deployment itself,

Yep, if you ever want a good nights sleep, go somewhere you haven't been before and spend a few hours walking around. Gets the mind working overtime, in a good subconscious way.

"- Realizing that anxiety isn't who you are, but more like a disturbance that will pass" Absolutely. Roll with it, it will pass, there is no question of this. Keep going, if you can, and wait for it to lift.

Only because he was an early adopter of his own product. He released it to the world and kept on mining to keep the project going. He didn't pre-mine and then release it. There is a big difference there. It just happened that it took t

Just use Electrum, bread wallet for iOS or one of the many other spv clients. No need to run a full node, haven't needed to for years.

Absolutely, there is a nice in built feedback loop as well. Bitcoin increases in value which makes it more desirable, which drives miners to mine more, which increases the security of the network ( harder to attack ). This drives the value

Yes the trade balance at the moment is negative, which is why we need the £ to fall in value, so we can export more and reduce the trade deficit. Germany loves the Euro for the same reason, it artificially lowers its exchange rate helping i

I've not met anyone who voted to leave the EU complaining. We were all aware there would be short term pain for long term gain. Most of the moaning comes from people who wanted to remain. The £ was overvalued, this will bring a huge bo

This might be daft question but I'll ask it anyway, how were they able to do this? Is the official version opensource or did they have have to reverse engineer the whole thing?

Ah the memories. From memory, and obviously we are going back a long time here, there was a program in there which you could write to make it sound like a baby was crying ( it kind of did), and another where you could design a sprite ( a ho

Remember waiting for the C64 port to come out, right at the end of it's life. It eventually game out and I played it on a demo cassette from a c64 magazine. It wasn't great after having experienced the Amiga version. Maybe around

Use 5 zookeepers, on a separate set of servers. Use configuration management such as chef to allow you to quickly build new nodes and to roll out changes accross the cluster. You will need to make tweaks. The chef Kafka cookbook which is t

I agree, but when I say kids I was thinking more of young kids. Say up until 7 or 8. You don't tend to see much bullying at that age, maybe teasing a bit but they don't seem to be nasty in the way older kids can be when they bully

Totally agree with this, but I can understand why they are able to do it. Kids don't judge. As a kid, you can meet another kid and get straight in there asking the important questions in life and have no fear about being judged or even

Maybe someone can chip in here but I was under the impression virtual particles didn't actually exist, they were just used to simplify our understanding of particle interactions. The uncertainty principle hasn’t gotten in the way of l

At it's most basic, the Lightning network is just a way of implementing pre payment cards for Bitcoin. Its over engineered and over complex. Which is demonstrated by the comments here trying to explain how it works. No one has yet been

By sending BTC to other addresses,including a small fee, you broadcast transactions across the Bitcoin network, nodes collect these transactions in their mempool. Every 10 minutes a miner finds the answer to a problem, and collects as many

Yes I used to feel exactly the same as a kid, and into my teenage years. Only really cared about having something to eat in the morning once I got into my mid 20s. I work with a guy who says he still feels the same now, well into their 30s.

This is interesting, as I sometimes do this. I don't like just writing an email requesting something and flinging it off to someone without talking to them in person. I put everything I need into an email. I'll then pop over just
