This is very addictive! Love it.

Accidentally burning money is a very low probably event. Forgetting passwords or any type of memorized secret is the most likely default outcome, and chance only increases with time passing.

"Why you should build your next app with a graph database"

Please don't. Graph databases have only a few niche use cases which, even then, in most occasions, can be adequately covered by a relational database.

How would you efficiently keep continuously updated complex metrics (aggregations, windowed functions, etc) calculated on top of unbounded/streaming data using a database? I'm not saying that Spark is the ideal solution, but there are a set of problems that require tools such as Spark.

IMO using Kafka for long term storage is not the greatest idea. It is expensive to keep CPU and RAM constantly on top of data that it going to be cold most of the time. There is no DML which means mistakes are expensive (from an engineering pov). And while the whole event sourcing paradigm can work quite well in narrow domains with teams fully aware of the implications of what they are doing, in practice, on large orgs, it is hard to scale (from a people perspective).

I believe it needs to be a 10ms tick.

I wasn't aware. Thanks.

Google Cloud Datastore?

You are right, I oversimplified it in my comment. People could still trade using euros. But I guess the only way to get more currency in the country would be via foreign trade. Banks would not have access to EU QE, deposit guarantees might be no longer valid and the state could no longer print currency to replace old ones.

I'm sure they would, but once they are independent, they can't legally use the Euro. Would they even continue to be Spanish citizens and be able to travel freely in the Schengen area? A new state takes years to join the EU (assuming the EU would accept). How about sovereign debt?

All these (really important) issues that should be part of an extensive debate so that people could understand better what is expecting them on the other side.

Also, I don't know any country that allows constitutional changes to be done via a simple majority in parliament (they had 3 votes above simple majority).

The only reasonable exit at this point, I believe, is to have new elections.

What does this even mean: "declared independence"?

Have they ordered borders to be closed? Bank accounts to be frozen until new currency is introduced? Have people started throwing their Spanish passports and their euros into the trash?

It just sounds like a lot like pure political manoeuvre without any kind of practical consequence.
