I mostly nod along to your points. The whole thing about the finite nature of time really hits home. We're all running around with a ticking clock, trying to cram as much as we can into our days. And the idea of just axing tasks to fre

I'm pretty sure Wired completely botched this article. It says that the hack works "across Android, iOS and Windows devices" by monitoring "a newly exposed public side channel, which details the shared memory statistics

I don't think anything in that article is particularly surprising. Apple is incredibly concerned with secrecy, and they share a lot of dysfunctions with other huge tech companies. Yep.

The model is a lot like GitHub, actually. We let people create all of the public dashboards they want for free so that people can share live data with the community. They also get one free private dashboard. Business accounts pay the bills,

It's too bad that they're going under and taking everyone's money with them, but the sooner they go away the better. Nobody will trust them again regardless of what they do. The more they're in the press the worse bitcoi

It's the law of large numbers - you can't keep growing forever, and that's clearly what's happening in the US. They're still a wildly profitable company, though, and there's plenty of room for growth in emergin

This is going to continue to be a problem as the US infrastructure for electrical vehicles is slowly upgraded. I think the only solution for now is to never depend on a charger outside of your home. People who have to drive more than a sing

Wow, that's fantastic. That is true, measurable technical progress. Go engineers.

This seems incredibly brittle - just like software DRM that needs to phone home. What happens 15 years from now when they shut down their servers?

What's weird is that this didn't move the market at all and the news out of China a few weeks ago tanked prices. Is China just that much more of a player in the bitcoin economy?
