The earlier models of compute stick had serious EMF issues with their USB and 2.4Ghz radio to the point that some configurations were practically unusable. This turned a lot of people away and it never got popular. Not to mention they ran p

Until someone shows me actual evidence of a ban being applied or at least some concrete plan with penalities for violations, what I have just read are nothing more than rhetoric and posturing. Banning the export of a commodity is very hard.

Each country has their own circumstances to deal with. This design would not make sense in Europe where a lot of the last mile delivery was done by mail carriers on foot or bicycles. However it does boost efficiency considerably in the USA&

It's still not too late to rename their city Thebes - last time I checked the one in Greece burned down and they haven't had time to rebuild it, yet.

This is indeed the case. On the other side of the same issue, the loss of large mammals in the wild slows down the natural cycling of nitrogen and this has a knock-on effect that leads to further loss of biomass. This has been an issue sinc

Well this is certainly very cool. It reacts well enough to my moves but I get the feeling that it does not know any of the established openings so each game starts a bit weird. Will keep going and try to beat it though.

For those who are brewing ISO standard tea, it's safe to assume they are doing so inside a QC lab with climate control set to 20 degrees Celsius, and without a leaky roof or hurricane force wind over their heads.

Wifi 6 feels like the transition from 802.11b to 11g all over again i.e. having a single b-only device will cause your entire network to fall back to 11Mbps for compatibility. At least back then those devices were either quickly replaced or

Back in the old days there were media outlets for the general public and the specialists. One just has to be pointed to the right direction. I don't think today's media landscape is that different - the professional youtubers are

I was more or less quoting the point of view of the current crop of developer who are very keen to keep the status quo. Not that I necessarily agree with all of their arguments, however they make good counter points to the other extreme vie

The original security model of bitcoins also assumes that: 1. Every network node participates in mining. So everybody is incentivized to keep, validate and forward the blocks they receive as quickly as possible. 2. Anybody should be able to

Bitcoin is best understood as a timestamping service that signs up to 1MB of information every 10 minutes. Recording monetary transactions is only one of its applications. The 10 minute interval is an important part of the consensus mechani

There are no miners in a PoS chain, and PoS participants technically have nothing to lose through double forging. There are myriad different ways to find and punish the bad actors in such a situation. I don't claim to know about all of

No PoS algorithm has yet managed to solve the Nothing-at-stake problem, nor are they any more resistant to the abovementioned kind of hostile takeover by the nation state player compared to PoW. I can't speak for every PoS coin out the

How would a hyperinflation on the US dollar cause civilization to stop? In any case, crypto trading since 2017 has been nothing but people buying and selling imaginary ticker symbols on unregulated exchanges. For example, XVG and ETC has be

Smaller fabs do exist, but they don't enjoy economies of scale unless they could project very strong demand down the road. Nobody invests in such a venture guaranteed to lose a lot of money. Another issue more pertinent to automotive m

You are conflating very low background exposure to delibrate self-medication with a much larger dose. The latter act has a proven risk for no apparent gain, hence my doubts. I'm not a doctor but have a background in biomedical research
