Is there any indication of the size of the lookup tables in question?

edit: whups, wrong Mark :) I was thinking of Mark Hammond, not Mark Shannon

I'm fairly noobish at understanding all this stuff, but as I understand it there are severe structural issues with the existing banking system that make a completely new mechanism desirable. For example by depositing cash into traditional accounts, it is also equivalent to providing capital to traditional banks to loan from. It would therefore be difficult to supply cash to end users without also increasing the availability of credit, which may be undesirable for any number of policy reasons.

The problem is Lenovo machines look and feel like PCs, and that's not a complement. I got the XPS specifically for the trackpad, its the only one around that I know of that handles any way remotely like a MacBook's.

I'm an idiot, this hadn't even occurred to me. Thanks

I moved to XPS 15 as my first non-Mac machine in over 10 years, and I must say I'm far from impressed by the build quality.

These laptops are gorgeous new, but they are SO fragile. One of the screen hinges is broken, I've replaced numerous keys, the keyboard is now developing some debounce/key registration issue all over the right-hand side, the speakers are both blown (left first then the right), the trackpad sits 0.5cm above the case (needs replaced), the glue holding the rubber to the bottom of the case expanded with heat and leaked out everywhere. Probably more I've forgotten

I'd still consider buying another, but I'd also strongly consider changing vendors once this machine finally dies

I think this has been the case for the 13" for some time, but at least the XPS 15 9550 I have does not suffer from it

Noticed this a few times, where race is associated with some bad behaviour as if it made matters any worse. What does it matter if the developers were Turkish?

edit: are the downvotes because you believe race matters in this case, or some other problem with the comment?

For single node sure, but the moment you have some set of jobs requiring a multi node setup, the chance of wanting to find yourself in a situation where the cluster has essentially bricked itself due to a momentary power outage reduces to zero really quickly.

The only place etcd might not pay off is in disposable dev environments or something, but do you really want your prod setup to page only to discover a complete cluster rebuild is necessary to resolve the problem?

Classic bait-and-switch. This essentially happens with every review site after they build up enough brand awareness to pull it off. I guess it happens because from the perspective of the company it makes total sense to try. Why earn pennies on the dollar from e.g. ad clicks when you can get huge lumpy (and possibly regular) payouts for much less work in much less time
