Yes and you could also send an email by buying raw materials, manufacturing a computer, writing an OS and an email client... doesn't mean you should.

Ah yes, now I can Finally sleep at night.

Essentially, yes that is correct. I based it on the cross section of Deuterium at NTP.

A chemical cataylst is a bit different because it doesn't require overcoming the coloumb barrier. If a nuclear catalyst existed, it would have to lower to almost no energy or even bypass the coloumb barrier for a D-D fusion reaction to occur at NTP. Do you know of any situations were the coloumb barrier has been altered?

There have been some reports of 4He and some high energy particle emissions, consistent with D + D → 4He + 23.8 MeV (heat) [1]. So yes, I would say there have been enough experiments done to call it an anomaly.

I believe what makes it so hard to tell is the labelling of any cold fusion researcher as a crackpot, which seems to have forced it 'underground'. Certainly a valid social experiment in physics if nothing else!

Agreed. However, rather than ignoring the experiment, I think it would be better to encourage scientists to understand why.

“Whatever Nature has in store for mankind, unpleasant as it may be, men must accept, for ignorance is never better than knowledge.” ― Enrico Fermi

According to quantum mechanics, the probability of a D-D fusion reaction at 300°K is ~10^-3800.

That being said, I still think it's wrong of mainstream science immediately reject Cold Fusion/LENR or even Em Drive research.

Just take it for what it is, an anomaly. Which may or may not lead to a breakthrough.

They didn't. In layman terms: It is the electroysis of heavy water (D2O) on a palladium electrode.

Very slowly, Serverless had this a year ago. By the time AWS gets something like a 'sls function deploy' it's pretty likely that serverless will have support multiple cloud providers, in which case they should be pretty safe.

Nope, it's worth about $30,000 right now https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_zec

"Abstraction gives us the power to scale and deal with complexity".

Until things are abstracted to the point where the human brain has literally no ability to understand what is actually going on. Other interesting parallels to this post in this talk:

I'm always surprised at the lack of discussion around database connection reuse with AWS Lambda.

It's a pretty big deal that every single API call requires a new database connection. The only solutions I've seen so far are to run a separate app to interface with the database, or moving the connection outside of the handler (which still has issues).

Am I missing something or is everyone just really happy to use DynamoDB?

Was really hoping to play with the dynamic code generation part of their SDK, hopefully they still get around to launching it.

Basically, it is a click-to-deploy blockchain node to the cloud. Saves the time of having to set all that up for yourself when you are building blockchain apps.

If you enjoy more of a hands on approach, try getting a miner setup for some new coin. You'll learn a ton in the process.

I think they are referring to post-bitcoin days, the quote was referenced from a paper released just last month.

Resistance to new technology is definitely a thing at banks, I remember when I worked at one I mentioned blockchain one day and everyone looked at me like deer in the headlights.

Perhaps, or maybe people were* tribal animals, just as they were once cavemen.

Globalization progresses mankind forward, it will ultimately make us better versions of ourselves. The root of Trump's evil is trying to reverse this progress by locking down borders and rejecting religions that are not the norm in America.

> And without it, we’ll lose our position as the most powerful country in the world.

Why is this a bad thing? Isn't the goal of globalization to start thinking of our planet as a whole?

Also just remember, that Rome was not built in one day. Progressing mankind with a functioning DAO is most likely worth much more than even a $200M failure (worst case scenario) if you look at how it could increase world productivity/efficiency.

Understand exactly how development fits into the rest of the business, it will vary for every company. The art of scalability is a good book to read to get started.

Is this a common thing? Never heard it before, it is very clever though.

How would you prevent a founder from bluffing though? Say founder B knows that founder A only has $X, so he offers to buy it for $X + some number. Makes it hard for founder A to keep any ownership of his company without taking out an expensive loan and paying way more than the company is worth.

This is amazing, thank you for sharing!

Thanks for making this, it's definitely useful and the UI is very clean.

Bug Report: If you enter a non-int value for one of the values it returns NaN. I.e. I entered 1.5 for a worst case estimate and it did that.

The feature set of Facebook is much more complicated than WhatsApp. Most of WhatsApps features come out of the box with ejabberd too (which is what they used in the beginning). Is it really a fair comparison?

I'd say this is a pretty big announcement: https://realm.io/news/introducing-realm-react-native/

A lot of the rails community is migrating to Phoenix so I would imagine it has something to do with it.

Bitcoin has major scaling problems and is very likely going to fail to deliver on your last sentence. As much as I don't want it to be true, it's more likely that banks will control the blockchain with something like R3.
