I agree that version control is a fundamental part of software and if you ever have to read code I hope you have access to the versioning and issue discussions. Some people are ok without it for personal projects, but one day someone is goi

> Most of the downsides (need for oracles for instance) apply to all blockchains. This is the part that kills all good uses for Etherium (and other blockchain apps) as far as I can tell. If you are relying on oracles then you are not &#x

Yes but you won't make any money. The fastest GPU you can buy right now will mine maybe 50c worth of bitcoin in the next 12 months if you run it 24/7.

I don't follow what you mean, there are loads of bitcoin prediction markets. Adding Etherium doesn't give you anything new.

All of this was already possible without Ethereum. I don't see what Etherium adds to the equation here? For example with Bitcoin you can already create escrow accounts with trusted third parties (aka oracles) being the decider.

Even if they can fix all of that, I still don't see the application here. It's tantalising but ... there's nothing new or interesting you can really do with Etherium. Is there?

The bit that I don't get is how Ethereum will communicate with the outside world. Example: I bet a friend that Hillary will be the next president. We create an Ethereum app/contract/whatever and fund it with $50 (worth of &#x

They say that they'll happily host 3TB databases, but the cost is too high for databases larger than a few GB. 1TB (with only 100GB of RAM) will set you back $150k a year! For comparison we pay our generic service provider about 20% of

No I don't want to taper down. I've tried that and decided that it's not worth it for me. I'll probably take them till the day I die. There's almost no side effects and I function so much better on them. Why stop?

MSSQL < Oracle? No way. Maybe Postgre is nicer than MSSQL for you. I don't know. But Oracle? Oracle is worse than MSSQL in just about every way that matters.

The annoying thing about (for example) SSRIs is that it's annoying to take accurate doses like that. My escitalopram comes in 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. If I want to slowly taper down from 20mg a day, I have to start chopping off bits from an

Would you yourself actually choose SQL Server on Linux for a project? I'm a big fan of SQL Server but the main thing that hurts it is the cost. Licensing our two servers today would cost a quarter of a million dollars. The OS cost is a
