No, dynamically is definitely the wrong approach. It just won't work.

Shippping LLVM byte code could still be possible yes.

Does any distribution have some kind of package that can be installed ? llvm-runtime. Like you can install Python or Java.

Shouldn't be to hard to make a package for Linux for that, right ?

Maybe someone could even add it to the kernel so it can recognise the bytecode.

Maybe it is just me but when I see these things, I sometimes get crazy ideas. And I think:

Might as well translate into LLVM bitcode and recompile the code:

Hell, maybe it's even faster if you compile the LLVM bitcode with emscripten and use asm.js to run into the browser. :-)

We are not disposable blue collar idiots. We are white collar professionals and we just want the same damn respect accountants, other dept managers, other educated employees and even secretaries get within the same organization.

If you are not in the 1%, then you are one of the rest.

Some might get a bit more, some might get a bit less.

That's all there is to it.

Why do people think "virtualized computing" is cloud ? It isn't. Because a VMWare cluster isn't cloud.

Cloud has characteristics like:
- pay per use
- API to control it, so it can be automated
- a failure model, like availability zones. So you know that things are 100 % seperated so if one AZ goes down an other AZ does not depend on it.
- etc.

Nobody says it has to be virtual either, you can get physical machines from Rackspace or Softlayer.

If you think PayPal is the cause of the problem, you haven't looked close enough.

The whole system is a total mess.

First of all there are, far and far to many regulations and a lot of countries has some of their own unique regulations as well.

The second problem is: SWIFT is from the 70s it's a rigid protocol that isn't going to change any time soon:

It usually takes days before a transaction is confirmed. Bitcoin takes about 10 minutes, a lot altcoins take minutes.
