  2. This is a solved problem on Ethereum Exchange Reimburses Customer Losses After 'Flash Crash' (gdax.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why dont crypto currency exchanges learn from the history of stock markets? This is a known issue and is solved in stock markets using "Circuit breakers" : http://www.investopedia.com/te... Will exchanges go through all the teething problems that stock markets faced, or will they leverage what stock markets have learnt over the last few decades?

    Not every country is America though, broadband in India is defined as 512 kbps and higher speed plans (max commonly available is 16mbps) top out at 80-160 GB I imagine many countries outside of US and Europe have slow and restricted internet, and having full disk based games would be awesome for them

    I bought CS:S,CS:GO and Bioshock 2 on disk, all of which required updates 60-70% the original download size of the game... the total amount of bandwidth saved by using the disk instead of downloading from scratch was minimal

    Ah, my impression was a mainframe runs multiple user sessions processing various different workloads at a time

    Are mainframes and PaaS\SaaS really all that different?
    Arent PaaS\SaaS just the next step in mainframes?

    Isnt that the point of FOSS that users dont need to give back? If they need to give back anything, might as well use a paid software.

    Yet ultrabooks which cost double to triple the price of normal laptops get sold quite a bit today

  16. Now, combine it with the /. error rate on Wikipedia Medical Articles Found To Have High Error Rate · · Score: 5, Funny

    A /. article mentions that Wikipedia has an error in 90% of medical articles
    Now, keep in mind that /. itself has an error in x% of news items posted here
    So, the actual error rate of Wikipedia medical articles should be (1-x/100)*90 % shouldnt it?
    Assuming it is actually 90% would lead to the conclusion that /. has a 0% error rate...

    In this case, they give you instructions to fix it. If you are on the net, and dont know what DNS is, you're on your own

    Redirect all queries from the malicious servers to a page explaining that they have malicious DNS servers configured and they need to fix the issue.
