Crypto miners buy a slab of silicon, plug it in, and its profitable. If this weren't the case, no one would mine it. Cryptocurrency is a fungus; either it will die, or it will eat up as much electricity & high-powered silicon as mi

I feel its fair to give content providers a few options, but they must be forced into it by our government by choosing one of: 1. Provide an unencumbered, fungible export of the content purchased, either at the time of the customer's c

I think an important thing to note about gravity batteries is how environmentally friendly they are, even relative to lithium ion batteries. Lithium mining is an insanely tight bottleneck in LI battery production, mostly outsourced to count

I don't even buy the "security" argument; MacOS is a highly secure operating system, produced by the same company, which has no forced walled-garden App Store. There certainly are exploits and scams which happen; just like on

It doesn't need to be monitored. It needs to be deescalated. The left wants to believe its blameless, but there's a massive portion of America that, per their believe foundation, disagrees with the policies they are putting in pla

The big thing for me is, its easy to say "oh, fiber is future proofing". Alright, can't argue with that; just as its impossible to predict the future to say fiber is the correct choice for the future, its also impossible for

Fiber can solidly hit 10x the price of installation over CAT6a/7, between the more expensive cabling, ethernet conversion on the room terminals (ok, maybe you have one computer with a PCI-E fiber adapter? nothing else does), and th

This is, effectively, what Meteor (JS) does; just with MongoDB instead of SQL. It embeds a mini-MongoDB JS client on the frontend to store cached data, queries are ran against that, and missing data is requested, streamed, and rendered asyn

The worst part is actually, it will never look like "just be Google", because that would be too obviously evil and be subject to decisive legislative action. Google's Widevine (streaming media DRM) is a great correlate to thi

Apple is very quickly driving toward an inflection point, and it feels like they're asleep at the wheel; either unaware of what this is going to do to their App Store business, or so full of themselves that they don't care. One ca

At some point, some large app needs to stand up against Apple. Fortnite was a start, but that's a game; it doesn't "hit home" in Silicon Valley culture. I still have hope that Facebook will pull something major in respon

One thing which surprised me: Elastic has a market capitalization of ~$11B. I think that changes some of the more floaty ethical concerns. This is not a David vs Goliath situation. This is Goliath vs Super-Goliath. At this point, I'm m

Yeah; I'm definitely on the "Apple is overdoing it" train, in that their similar policy is unreasonable given there are no alternative options for developers on that platform. But, Google/Play is different; developers wh

I question whether the move away from x86 is actually that much of a problem for Intel; ultimately, its just an instruction architecture, and at the end of the day the fabrication capacity is far more valuable than some old & busted IP.

I think artist coops (ie Floatplane-like) is one solution that can work. That being said, I think a more scalable and better solution is more-so the "lean middleman" model (ie Itch-like). The problem with YouTube and Twitch isn&#x

Think about a strategic decision like this: Spotify decides to pay-out a $0.005/stream rate to Taylor Swift. That's more than most artists make, but its what Taylor demands, and Taylor holds some cards here because she's popu
