Leaving the problem with battery life behind for a moment, this really has the makings of a perfect solution to the monetization problem imo. It's decentralized, democratic, etc. Also when taking the problem with battery life into cons

I think you're too focused on the technical side of things. If your target can be breached with an intern's hobby projects, why not breach your target with an interns hobby project? That means you have more money to spend on analy

The destinction is that amazon is not using it's position to enter another market, which is what this whole thing is about. The EU argues that people use the google search function to search for items to buy (but not necessarily from g

I really really doubt that this is going to have any effect at all. Although many are septic of the attribution of "actual cyber attacks", I doubt that that skepticism can be stretched to include the disinformation/fud spread

It's been known for ages of course, there's always been a bogeyman, I like how there's some older articles out there that have predicted which bogeyman it was going to be today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

No the problem there is actually transporting that. It's no use to build a solar farm there and then stretch a long copper powerline back to wherever it is needed because of the losses involved.

Serve 5 years, and receive a clean social slate! Sound like a really good plan on a diabolical level...

Well I certainly did not study how much your helmets protects you... But, given the fact that, like I said, virtually everybody here cycles, I'm aware of the fact that nobody in my family ever hit their head in a way that caused any pe

I live in the Netherlands, bike everywhere I go (almost). 99.9999% of the people on the street don't wear helmets, not when commuting, not when on a recreational drive. The most serious bicycle accident I ever saw did involve someone&#

This is true in the abstract. However in the real world Bitcoin is in such a bind right now. While the USD had been stable in that sense since it came into existence.

I've always found the notion of compatibilism untenable as the problem is deeper than 'the hidden machinery that is in the process of weighing alternatives'. The problem to me is that that machinery does not exist. It's

It's strange how many people in this thread are discussing concepts such as 'choice', 'do', 'freedom'. Perhaps I've been too deep down the philosophical/metaphysical rabbit hole, but AFAIK there&

But that's the point. A diet is not something that you do a few months after which you get and keep a killer figure while returning to eating whatever you want. A diet should be the preliminary to a permanent shift in eating habits.

They're referring to the fact that the reactor meltdown at Fukushima is the newest addition to the list of incidents that 'prove' that nuclear fission energy is bad and should be banned. They're glad that the reactor mel

It's not about users that _could_ do something else. It's about the fact that in reality 95% of all clicks as a result of a google search go to the top 3 results and 90% of all search in the affected countries goes through google.
