Sorry, it took me a bit to reply to you on this censorship laden bullshit “you’re replying to fast by posting more than 3 times a day” website. Fuck dang, time to cycle residential proxies. That said, see sibling comments about fineness. In

Honestly I find most studies based solely on self-reported data worthless. What people say they’ll do/buy is often only loosely correlated with what actually happens. See: -YouTube thumbnail controversy, vs what people actually click o

It's not proprietary, you can hook up the drives to a linux box and pull files off them just fine if your box dies. I've never had to do this, but I've seen others say they've done so successfully.

Should be much better, you spend most of the time coasting and most of your acceleration in very thin atmosphere, vs a plane that has to cruise down in the soup. Also, starship has more pressurized volume than a 747. You can fit a lot of pe

A short boat ride off the coast is all it will take to get form NY to Tokyo in 40 minutes or less. Worth it.

E2E payload weight will be much lower than typical LEO configs, total altitude lower. You don't need to circularize etc etc. This means you can spend more fuel/be less efficient overall for a much more comfortable acceleration pro

> Corporations are not bound by the restrictions laid out in the first amendment; only the government is. I think that is no longer the consensus. We have corporations that rival governments now.

This couldn’t be more wrong or dishonest. The merge has been part of the plan since 2016. The users were onboard with this from the beginning.

Not yet, but when the combined effects of the merge + EIP 1559 drive ETH to flip BTC _and_ the ever-increasing "BTC wastes X countries worth of power per day" it will eventually happen. No chance at all while BTC remains top dog (

Perhaps that nuance is achievable, but I have seen none of that here. That said, I fundamentally disagree that crypto is "overall negative", and with the move to PoS the largest negative aspect of crytpo (the environmental cost of

AirDrop is 100x slower than the equivalent wired solution. I say this as someone transfering 350GB of media off their phone on friday, Apple needs to fix wired file access from mac to phone.

This deserves to be the top spot on HN right now. Years of countless replies and mockery here across N accounts telling me this day would _never_ happen. Yet here we are, we're finally about to break away from the shackles of PoW and t

HN moderation has seriously diminished the value of this site to me, putting it nicely.

We'll see. I don't think it's controversial to suggest psychologists will be studying this cohort for the rest of their lives.

Money laundering means concealing dirty cash, clean money doesn’t need to be laundered by definition. A mixer concealing the public address of clean money is not nefarious in any way and should be perfectly legal.

Modern ones work, like you said, down to -20F. One important caveat however is that they don't not-work below -20F, they just fall back to "emergency heat" aka resistive coils. While of course emergency-heat uses far more pow
