Ironically, I picked up Dominos pizza for the first time tonight in many years. The app and the screen on the wall said that my order was ready for 10 minutes while I stood there waiting for them to finish my order. The food was terrible. T

Not OP but that’s how I think of it. If my internal network is 10.0.0.0/8 and I have 100,000 hosts and a single IPV4 address that they all appear to be to the public Internet, I’ll sleep a lot better than if I had all 100,000 hosts wit

You seem to be assuming that I am making the mistake of robotically defining the word "immutable" to some impossible level of unchanging. I assure you I am not. I am simply pointing out the ridiculousness of someone stating that b

The word immutable has a meaning. Blockchain does not fit that meaning. Immutable doesn’t mean, “as long as 51% of miners want it to not change”. Immutable doesn’t mean, “doesn’t change unless we get hacked and then we’ll change it”. I coul

I don’t think OP was advocating telling cryptocurrency users that it’s a scam. I think it was more aimed at people thinking of getting into cryptocurrency. For what it’s worth, I mined BTC when you could profitably with a GPU. I mine ETH to

With government, the FIRST place you look are benefits to employees. In this case, they are paying $570,906 in 2022 in Pension benefits for 4 active employees. Now they certainly aren't paying $142,726.50 to each active employee so tha

Your comment reminds me of the video where they ask white people in Berkeley, CA if voter id laws are racist. They say yes of course they’re racist because African Americans don’t have id as often, don’t have as much access to the internet,

Where did you get 600 GB per day? That only would’ve cost $8.40 per day. It looks like it was actually 25 TB per day which is over 40x what you said. From the article: This was about AU$350 a day for a month… priced at AU$0.014 per GB A c
