FWIW, my point isn't that crypto is doomed and entirely useless - I have a more nuanced opinion (tho no position) but that's not why I'm commenting. I also don't mean to be giving advice to anyway, just sharing opinions

You mean miner fees? How's that a 100% margin after hardware and electricity? Sure if the network transfers to a PoS/ETH2 model those operating costs go down, but so will transaction fees, hence revenue, with the planned sharding,

A measly 6% in relation to USD (0) since this started. Shockingly little, I was expecting to see it cratered when I first check, like their stock market (1), i.e. ERUS at -34% (bottomed -42%). Think you're right they must've been

Everything is inflated and has been bid up. Cryptos are certainly no exception, it's only gotten worse in the last two years with all the FOMO they fostered and salesman that gathered to profit off my disillusioned generation. To each

Basically every company has merch tho, albeit Berkshire's is decently priced, in-house (subsidiary) manufactured and prominently displayed. Three first thematic examples I googled (conglomerate, railway, insurer). https://ww

I've always found it very funny that their first link is a GEICO ad. I think he sees the humor in that too, he's no stoic. Edit: Just finished the letter and he sure is ever the salesman, closing the letter with "cousin"

I assume they wouldn't put electronic outlets in solitary cells, so how did it work for phones? You'd get to use it for 3-5 hours before the battery runs out and then a guard swaps it for a charged one?

I mostly wonder how? Is it an extension or program? I thought it was just a website where you can paste in a text-box for proof reading, and that sort of website shouldn't be able to track you everywhere afterwards, right?

My point wasn't how similar or different these conflicts are, I hope it didn't come off that way as I don't wish to start such a debate, the result is people suffering needlessly either way. But my last sentence with regards

I wish your girlfriend and her family a safe and timely evacuation. It is heart breaking how normalcy can turn to a hot war so fast. Hopefully it doesn't keep escalating, but there is absolutely no reason to stick around and find out.

What I find even weirder (kind of) is that the top recommendations are not only very polarizing and politically loaded (vaccines, convoy, "evil agenda", "journalistic hypocrisy" and police violence), 5/6 in the top

Oh, didn't cross my mind. I think you are right and I probably misinterpreted the comment. My brain went straight to it being about running out of power and causing jams, probably because it was such a common fear with regards to EVs (

by BbzzbB 5y ago
Traffic jam? What kind of autonomy do you think modern EVs have? If you're gonna make a good faith argument about why we couldn't switch to 100% EV over night, talking about grids' capacities would be more genuine.

I was late to edit the mistake but I learned there are known tiers, so FWIW a Bethesda would at most be paying 20% (>$50M), if not less with a private deal.

Isn't restricting your choice pool to FOSS games a satisfying compromise for GNU/Linux gaming? https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/nonfree-games.en.html Obviously kidding, Valve's efforts will IMO greatly exp

My wording was probably dramatic there, it's just I don't think a Microsoft subsidiary would lightly take the decision to forgo 20-30% (TIL it's tiered) of their revenue to a third party when they have capabilities to handle

It is older by a few years, but it is not a two-sided marketplace, it's Blizzard's (+ Activision's) DRM. FWIW, I did not mean that Steam is necessarily the literal first game marketplace, but to my (limited) knowledge it was

I have no insightful information to give you with regards to Monero, but to me what you're looking for is a good fit for Marginalia's text-centric search engine [0]. I get interesting results when I'm looking for authentic an

Is there a technical reason why Steam is a such a force in the space? People, myself certainly included, often criticize Apple for taking 30% of developer revenue for merely existing in it's walled garden. Right or wrong, they control

How can it be anything else? What kind of sane CEO for an advertising company would publicly call out a client for lying - potentially costing them future business after they've made a homerun promo - without having said client be in t

So, you know who I am or how to reach me? Send me an e-mail (or, better yet, dox Satoshi) and I'll take your point. I don't see how pseudonymity can't be a flavor of anonymity, even cyber-criminals who have every reason to re

I do think these ubiquitous "mega-apps" (whatever the word is) hold leverage on Apple as well. Telling their billion users they can't access an app like Uber because they broke some privacy rule or stood their ground on the A

Sorry I was just being snarky with the trash app mentioned, I could've done without it I just had a talk [0, fun one] in the back of my head when writing. There must indeed be hundreds (dozens?) of companies which fall in a grey area t

uBlock Origin filters are good for this. I also hide scores on Reddit and likes on Twitter in an attempt to not be influenced by what the mob thinks of comment X as well as the reason you mentioned. Unfortunately, it is one click away to un

You're not much of a partner at 0.0008% of yearly revenue. Now if a Netflix or Spotify was caught with a hand in the forbidden cookie jar, I'd expect the solution to be more diplomatic than straightforward perma-ban. If not for di

Odd how much Google became so vastly different between users. For me DDG and Google do just about the same thing here. Wikipedia first link (well, 1st at Google, 2nd at DDG) with a card and then governmental websites with regards to health
