Astrophysics can’t take credit for satellites and GPS those were built with the primary incentive of guided munitions and have little to do w outer space. The field has become something like a crossover between a religion and a cheap tabloi

This is a direct attack on the dollar. Now in California your money is worth less if you have more of it. Let this precedent slip and and the wealthy will simply leave the state. Well more than they already are

Any court eventually will decide if he’s Satoshi based on if he has access to Satoshi’s private key. CW can’t do that because he’s not Satoshi. But he knows the real Satoshi is aware that coming out now is a death sentence, if he hasn’t alr

Wait, this kid didn’t do anything illegal. They can’t detain him at airport security on behalf of the airline to resolve a civil matter and they definitely can’t legally force him to buy a direct ticket. He’s free to leave at any point in t

It’s never that clear cut. If Theranos had a little more time they could’ve finished the product and significantly reduced the costs for medical providers, which would almost certainly have meant many lives saved and a boost to the economy

So, if you look at most successful companies they did the fake it till you make it to a degree. It’s a necessary strategy sometimes. Had Theranos succeeded it would’ve disrupted a major industry and that made Elizabeth Holmes a lot of enemi

I feel for her. Should have thought twice before giving an internship to one of those Berkeley SJWs. Lost a 9 billion dollar company and all those talented people fired.

I doubt fairphone or framework will survive long enough to fulfill these promises. It’s a good bet for them to make. If they go under just write up a “sorry guys the world is mean and we meant well” apology page. If they succeed they’ll pas

I did as well contacted Oracle for access to the latest UltraSPARC parts and documentation but they never got back to me. I also became obsessed w SoC design when OpenSPARC was released. For some reason the T1000 was a really big deal for m

I think the South Bay is divine. Better weather, safe, quiet, smart people, amazing campus, great food, many whole foods and fantastic restaurants. Although it’s for the wealthy true story. But rent is very similar to SF and quality of life

It is super dangerous. The homeless and cracked up mentally ill patients who buy from the open air drug markets are highly aggressive and totally unpredictable. I was on a crowded bus at 2pm by Powell and a homeless man broke a 40oz bottle

Ok maybe Oracle has a point here looking past their reputation. Did you know Sun had a Mac mini like product back in the day based on dual UltraSPARC T2+ Coolthreads SoCs? I almost bought it off eBay https://twitter.com/R_I_

I mean you’ve got to appreciate the scale of the problem here and be pragmatic. The danger of recycling is it gives the illusion of progress, but I’m not against it otherwise. Philosophically you might be correct but voting blue in a non sw

That issue can’t be solved by reusing laptops or sorting cans from cardboard. The argument that every little helps is totally flawed. Fantasy, make believe. The other 8 billion people simply don’t care and why would they? 50 years from now

Well in 5 years I expect most dev work will be done in VR collaboratively with remote teams, w multiple virtual screens and AI assistance. Another world. Laptops and cell phones will be gathering dust with the desktops. Things change fast.

“Laptops don’t change” Really? because a few years ago battery life was maybe 7 hours and now it’s 18. And with faster processors, thunderbolt 4 and USB C charging, wifi 6, better screens and lighter. I keep hearing this argument for not bu

Well if you’re sold on paying 2000 euro for the display it’s a drop in the bucket. Who reads newspapers in 2023 anyway? Why not just get a subscription to a newspaper for like $50/yr? Then you can sit and read it instead of standing fa

I would expect Covid is one of several lab made viruses released by accident. It’s not malicious just a statistical inevitability as the means become more accessible. Personally I’m very concerned about the grey goo scenario. The three disa

But you don’t even consume this. You can’t even give the experience to someone else to enjoy. They made up a fake person and gave a pretend product to them, and billed your bank account in real dollars. This doesn’t make a bit of sense to

You’re still missing the point entirely. The purpose of a car is to take you from a to b. If you don’t need that service, you don’t need a car at all, and if you don’t need a car it’s doubly true you don’t need a virtual car even if it is c

“gets happy over their character”? You mean their virtual character becomes happy because of the virtual sports car they now drive? Tricking people to confuse their selves, possessions and lives with a simulation is some genius marketing. H
