Including India in that list is pretty wild

Many languages will die before being digitized if they have to wait for 20-25 years

I saw this at my last company. Even worse breaking it into microservices allowed teams of 2 or 3 to start building entire realms where only they could commit and used it for internal politics.

I witnessed someone that wanted to leverage their service into a promotion so they started pushing for an architecture where everything flowed through their service.

It was the slowest part of our stack and capped at 10tps.

Why do you believe that?

Yeah the first version looks like something that many people would try to 'optimize' but in reality it is extremely readable and should be very easy to change/extend.

Do you have that much money to burn?

If your name is still attached you will still get these letters. Because they will continue to try and show they are protecting their IP.

Then that would be your IP which you'd be free to distribute. You won't receive the same letter again, but you may be breaking an NDA and the terms of which may apply.

Why do you think that ipfs and/or blockchain is going to change how copying IP works?

In practice there is a time limit. Nodes will not relay blocks that are too far from their current clock.

I've only found yelp to be trust worthy in some cities, not universally.

That fails for the case that you have an appointment at 3pm in 30 days, and 15 days later the timezone's offset changed.

Could you point to a PoW based cryptocurrency that isn't vulnerable to a 51% attack?

As the space matures I'd love to see a company that offers double spend insurance for a given tx.

For example changes could wait for 10 minutes worth of blocks then request a quote for double spend insurance. The company evaluates the probability of a double spend and maybe even has a couple standing contracts with rentable hashing power to be able to target smaller PoW chains and prevent any double spend attack.

There are lots of interesting and cool problems to be solved in evaluating the safety of a given tx. Unfortunately I don't know if the space is mature enough that exchanges would actually use the service.

It's great if you own NVDA!

You won't really be able to process tx that low, you'll need to pay a tx fee proprtionate to the number of bytes. 1 satoshi per byte is a good rule of thumb for a very cheap tx. It takes more than 1 byte to describe one satoshi, so you can't get your tx to propagate.

Yeah in the next couple years I'd expect to start seeing smaller PoW chains wither away due to attacks like this and exchanges starting to have prohibitively high conf times as they'll need to protect them selves from attacks like this.

Merchants are probably fine.
