Ask HN: Can Cryptocurrency Beat Credit Card in Consumer Micro Payment Market?
Amid all the hype on cryptocurrency, I think in consumer (espcially in micro payment), credit card is better than cryptocurrency because:1) it has cash back; 2) it has no fee in most cases (still some website/service will charge you though, but even for cryptocurrency if you buy on coinbase, say, you still have to pay some fee), but nowadays it is very hard to let the payment to go through...

Re:Ask HN: How many of you guys like erlang
on Friday October 17, 2014 @01:08AM (#8469499)
For the language I love its concurrency model; creating thousands of "processes" at your PC/laptop is no problem. Message passing over shared memory also makes your distributed program easy to reason about. When talking about Erlang, you can't avoid OTP. It makes creating fault tolerant system at ease. Putting these two pieces together you have a very scalable fault tolerant distributed system.
I don't like the syntax of erlang though. And the missing of macro makes me switch to Elixir.
