This is actually sort of a ripoff of one of Elon's ideas. One of the original concepts that eventually snowballed into Space X was very similar. He wanted to grow plants on Mars, and use the images to try to stir up interest in space e

(edit: found the link to article with the real picture) Not going to lie, I'm impressed that they pulled this off, and it's really, really cool! It is interesting that something similar was the original concept for what turned i

Well, besides the Soviet mission it mentioned that used tortoises in the past, I suspect the origin of the reference is in regard to the classic saying "It's tutles all the way down" https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F

The Stellar private key is easy to find in the wallet settings on all of the clients. Also, I made a test account from scratch to test out the UX flow. Here's what I found (Note, this is the Android version, not iOS). 1) I created a ne

THERE IS NO BACKDOOR HERE. Neither the especially scary kind suggested by the title (everyone assumes encryption breaking!), nor the coerced attestation kind suggested in the text. I agree with this. It is very sensational & I was exp

It's crazy that micro-plastics are even in the air . Gross!

I didn't notice any mention. Just a guess though, I've seen S. Pellegrino in plastic so it's possible theirs were.

Right, I'm curious is some of the outliers at the high end were from older bottles that had been on the shelf longer.

I was curious if the micro-plastics could be coming from the bottles they are packaged in. The article says... It's not clear how the plastic is getting into the bottled water — whether it's the water source itself or the air or

Thanks for the info. I honestly was NOT 'in the know', I've always been with Verizon as it had by far the best service in the mountainous region I live in. AT&T, Sprint & others are far inferior, through experience &a

Sorry I got too fired up... seeing this trending put me in a mood :)

Fair enough I guess, maybe I misunderstood. I'm not familiar with the program. But the are multiple people in the thread disputing his claim. It just drives me crazy. The tone. The victim mentality. Just feels like BS, I don't rea

He wanted to use his Verizon upgrade credit, so Verizon's 60 day policy applies. He could have paid full price up front and got the generic unlocked version available to everyone.

It's not shitty. There is a generic unlocked version available on the Apple store if you pay full price up front. He could have chosen that option, bit he wanted to use hos Verizon upgrade credit. I'm sure he saw the policy on the

He didn't pay for an iPhone. He 'upgraded' and is most likely on a payment plan. He stated he used the 'upgrade' program. If he really wanted an unlocked iphone 11 pro max, he could have REALLY paid the $1500 to App

Why is this on the front page? It's not interesting, or even a valid complaint if you ask me. The guys screscreen shot clearly says "nearly" all phones will be unlocked. Well in my world, that doesn't mean 'all&#x27

Great, thanks for the information! Depositing straight into my own wallet is very appealing. I'm just starting to get into buying crypto, but for someone like me, I'm ONLY interested in managing my own private keys. I don't t

This looks promising. Looking forward to trying it out! I do wish there was more information on the website about how it works, fees etc. I am admittedly a crypto currency novice, so I'm not real familiar with the lightning network and

What a horrible story. I can't imagine how terrible of an experience thay must have been. Just wish I knew more details about the police investigation. Why isn't this guy in jail? Did it go to trial? If not, why? She knows his car

Thanks. I was intrigued by the story and comments, but have zero interest in subscribing to medium. Also, since she chose to make it a 'premium' article that means she will make money from it right? Makes me have an eyebrow raise

Actually, the article you linked proves that it is true. In recalling where they were when they learned of the attack, people were 89 percent accurate at survey two and 83 percent accurate at survey three. So the statement nearly every Am

I've never liked the web console much either. Never found it very intuitive, or easy to use. But, once you navigate the maze, & learn where the few things you need are, it does get the job done. And to be fair it is fast. Not sure

I though the same thing! This would be a really cool un-lockable sidearm in Battlefield or Call of Duty!

Yeah, I hate to be cynical, but I'm not buying the stated use cases as the main motivator here for Google. It's cool they are releasing it. Interested to see what other folks come up with. I wonder if this could be used to identi

So after looking it over, the idea is to eliminate get rid of the 'winner take all' system in the participating states. Seems fine to me. It's definitely hard to argue for winner takes all electoral votes. I'm not really

Thanks, I'll check it out. This is the group from the article? I admittedly didn't read it because of the paywal. Just lurking in the comments :)

I always hear people complain about the electoral college, but I've never once heard a detailed, objective argument as to why they think a popular vote would be a better system. Friends I've talked to about just seem to default to
