>The economics professor believes bitcoin is "not a unit of account," is "not a scalable means of payment," and is "not a stable store of value." Instead, he argues, it is a pump and dump scheme, where fear

But here's the thing: This article didn't say anything bad about Bitcoin's energy usage. It's simply quantifying it. If quantifying the energy usage of Bitcoin makes you angry, you should probably self-reflect a bit. T

Starlink is going to make low-cost internet connectivity ubiquitous. Though I would agree that we don't need to say "Elon Musk SpaceX" every time we bring up SpaceX. In fact, I'd rather we just leave him out of the con

Parler rented all their infrastructure from companies that get to choose how their infrastructure gets used. Private companies can run themselves as they please. Facebook owns all their own infrastructure and gets the final say on how thei

This may be true, but this is a lousy excuse for tolerating Nazis on your platform. Sure, banning a Nazi from Twitter doesn't actually kill the Nazi. They still exist, they still have Internet access, and they're still filled wit

I agree with you 100%. There is absolutely no reason to care. Nothing we're seeing from these tech companies is a threat to our liberties. Getting banned from Twitter for violating the ToS is not censorship. Getting your Twitter clone

Leave it to Glenn Greenwald to, in the face of violence, sedition, and misinformation, care more about some vacuous notion of "free speech" than the health of our Democracy. This guy used to have a ton of my respect, but honestly

It was a bit more than that. The attack was against AT&T, there was zero public interest in the information from a whistleblower perspective, the victims were customers of AT&T, a telecommunications provider. Dumping the contents o

Why would capital police escort armed rioters into the Senate building for "safety" if their job is to ensure the safety of the Senate building, Senators, and staff? This is a backwards argument. The police didn't do their j
