The US Government is already one of or the largest know holder of Bitcoin. And that is without the assumption that the US Government owns the Satoshi coins. It would be fine if governments decided they want to hold Bitcoin. I see no issu

Why not use 110V AC for a hotplate and the soldering iron? USB seems silly.

What kind of student were you in high school. Tell us in 5,000 words or more. Now take this personality test. Now do this other crazy thing.

AirTags will report their last known location. This is very likely to be the point it was driven into a container. If the container wasn't moved or loaded onto a ship yet it could be found. Additionally, while containers do a really

"The loin changed me far more than my presence changed it - for the better. It taught me compassion and empathy and how to avoid getting knifed by a junkie in the alleyway." I 100% agree. I lived 5 blocks uphill from the Tenderlo

In most cases it's both. Like the people who were early to the Internet, they believe in a better world and they hope their early participation will be rewarded.

I couldn't find that Tesla will receive "billions" anywhere. Only that the US Federal government is giving $5B to states and Tesla is applying for some of that money. Where do you see that Tesla won't reliably allow th

It's really a different approach that will yield different outcomes and experiences. Super Cruise works on "pre-mapped divided highways". That suggests it's more like hard coding most of the environment and working wit

I have a dedicated glove box button in my Tesla S. It's one of the few dedicated buttons.

Totally agree. While it's hard to get hands on a physical box, you can always get bare metal Ampere servers from the Packet guys aka equinixmetal.com. They have them in a few regions.

I look forward to the day when The Economist and FT don't conflate Bitcoin with all the crypto tokens out there.

I think he's talking about the domestic operations. I would agree that the CIA and their sister organizations who operate internationally fit the description as well. Can't torture someone, well, take them to a friendly place wh

If they can put a dog nose and tongue on a video with AI, I would guess maybe removing the sound of the drone is possible.

This is exactly my concern for today's content and it puts us in a place where future content is at risk. Removing select episodes of sitcoms because they aren't politically correct means current shows self censor before creation

I think you may want to revisit your 80%. The vaccine efficacy for sterilization of the virus ended up dropping more quickly than expected and that's even with pre-Delta variants. Look at the Israel data. When you don't underst

Agreed. But I don't hear anyone talking about making a old style COVID vaccine that prevents infection, disease or transmission. That's what's different in this case. We don't currently have what we many of us used to

Apple stores require this for screen repair or even battery replacement. I won't get my aging iphone X battery replaced for exactly this reason. It's too much work to erase my phone and restore it.

The same thing happened with Ivermectin as a prophylaxis. All of a sudden anything that was years old with a history of safe use in humans was off the table. They all also happen to be old enough that patent protection is gone. It's

The argument is that Bitcoin not only has a provable total fixed supply & rate of future supply and that it has more utility than gold because it's easier to transfer and harder to fake.

Why didn't they wait until April 1st to make this announcement? Clearly they haven't learned enough about the internet culture from Elon.

I miss when we were called slackers. Then we built the Internet and modern world but nobody gives us credit for that.

I didn't know about Popper before. This rings so true today more than ever. I often joke about my home town of San Francisco that we are very open minded as long as you believe exactly the same things we believe.

I can confirm. I was there a couple of times over the last month and none of this mess is remaining. It was all white and flat with a fire burn marks from tires and fire pits.

but how were those pings to game servers in North America? I'm guessing they take too long no matter the bandwidth to the local exchange.

This is a great step at stopping not just the spread of hate speech but also at stopping hate itself. Platforms like Twitter and Facebook have done and continue to do too much to encourage and then monetize rage.

Yeah, I'm confused as well. I just tried Calc on win10 for the first time in weeks or months and it opened before I could count 2 seconds. This is from a SSD where it won't have been in cache.

It's more like access to replace the bitsteam. It's a complicated and expensive new attack vector.

No. It means people will be able to copy FPGA's like was possible in the 2000's. It also means that the design in an FPGA could be altered by an unauthorized 3rd party without having to physically replace the device.
