What's so weird about these stable coins is that there's no money to be made with them (for the end user). They're 'stable' so have no upside but they're non-redeemable when things aren't working and have

It's fraud for sure .. but it doesn't mean he intended to take the money or anything. He was just too naive to understand how dangerous mixing the funds would be during an inevitable period of pressure and (I'm guessing) fel

This is a valid long term concern for Taiwan but 10+ years out.

They're not going to build a fab in downtown Heidelberg :-) There are plenty of industrial parks available near transportation, water, and electricity in Europe to build this out. This also aligns with how the modern chip ecosystem wo

Intel has lots of leading edge fabs in the US and continues to build them. They made some business mistakes around not opening up their chip design the way ARM enabled ... but the tech capacity is all there. Now they are doing contract pr

The protections they bypassed aren't "necessary" but they are certainly there to protect the investors so I have little sympathy for the libertarian crypto people (or libertarians in general) when they have nothing to fall ba

Actually SIPC is exactly that and is probably what the crypto industry wants to model themselves after.

It's also the idea in many safety engineering orgs around how to mechanistically prevent something from happening again even though someone still might try to do the same thing again. In other words, blaming people for mistakes or f

That's not totally true. For instance I blocked USA Today on my Apple News stream because of the low quality of journalism and clickbait titles. The problem is that this has minimal impact but more importantly, USA Today probably doe

The best option is to make the flood plains unbuilt and let them flood.

The other problem is the fish need to go downriver too. The dam extracts energy from the water flow and slows down the river - making it difficult for newly hatched salmon to even get to the ocean in the first place. The dams simply need t

It's depressing that a modern country like Canada would even consider building a major dam anymore :-(

What is the next physical connector standard after USB-C? Is there one on the roadmap that is likely to happen or is USB-C "The End of History" when it comes to connectors?

That's their whole disaster recovery plan and why they're so aggressive about digitization. If Russia overruns the physical country, the nation (it's state and it's people) can continue operating.

The age thing is more about our business culture than our tech culture. There is lots of room for older programmers if they can be buffered from short term goals and the switching of those goals every few weeks. In addition those older pr

If you can afford it, a high end induction stove might be an upgrade you both enjoy without needing gas. Higher end ones have more precision and consistency and easier controls.

I have a dryer in my apt (miele) and it has no externally routed vent. Heat/humidity is ejected to the sewer line. Aside from the lower energy consumption, this seems useful for an Antarctic base for heat re-use.

The general issue is that some protocols have a hundred uses and if only one of them is mission critical, then it can't be blocked. SSH surely fits that description. NNTP only has one purpose, sharing information (human to human). It

Yeah. Have a few in my backpack, one in the car, a whole bunch at home. I get that you wouldn't have one 3 years ago but most people have N95 nowadays, even if it's just leftover.
