Cost is typically LCOE - levelized cost - which takes life time, maintenance, fuel, construction, etc into consideration

This is quite a complex topic and you can google and wiki LCOE for all the gory details.

Can anyone comment on the CPU requirements for such a system? (either this one or AlphaGo) How many commutative CPU/GPU hrs are required to get to here?

Just make sure you have an over night bag ready ;)

Prediction market have been declared illegal in the US.

UIGEA carve out is specifically restricted to sports and scoring related simulation (guess who lobbied for it).

This is regardless of various state-specific laws, as well as the current daily-league legal battle.

Any futures trading is also regulated by the CFTC

yep.. seems to work in alpha..

No changes required to other DHT node. Which is cool. And i was specifically aiming for a low/scalable bandwidth overhead

Each new "announce" propagation is kinda slow.. 1-10min to spread through the DHT..

Actually - i have been playing around with building a feed on top of a single torrent - so it would be one torrent per user - and subscribers to the torrent would (hopefully ;)) get a feed of updates

Could this interest u ?

Does this create a new DHT entry per tweet or per user ?

I think the DHT itself can quickly become overloaded/slow - DHT does impose some b/w overhead for each node

I am more worried about the obvious attack of sending a person a large known plaintext, and then using this to decrypt his tarball.

Setting aside the effects of hype, hipness and herd -iness..

Are you asking about the language or the platform ??

The usual argument for node vs java (for example) is that node has many small libraries (really code sniplets) which are instantly usable. So a lower activation energy!

As far as platform, the technical merits of a JVM are so much down the road so as to be completely meaning less at the critical early stages.

Nice app. Please please add any sort of import capability

(You can look at simplenote export/import csv/json format)

Trello???

It is so under powered. They been at it for years and still no decent SEARCH, no proper sub-tasks or dependencies, etc.

To me, it feels like there is no real active development on this.

Can you comment on how many additional domains you mined - compared (for example) to the 1M domains from alexa top-1M
