So a bank is in distress, it has collateral, but the FED - THE lender of last resort - chooses to fkem basically. "The Fed needed a test trade to be run before the actual transfer could occur. That took time and the Fed didn’t extend i

3DFX was basically the shit in mid late 90s. First time seeing Quake in OpenGL was insane - before that all games were rendered in software.

So the 6 digit iPhone passcode overrides the iCloud master password? That's insane.

ActionQuake2 was a hugely popular mod for Quake 2 and for a while it coexisted with Counterstrike. The gameplay was way faster compared to CounterStrike with itsclassic Quake2 movement. In the end Valve supported CounterStrike whilst ID sof

In computer gaming (RTS / FPS) equipment matter, especially in FPS. Not to mention your internet connection. I would guesstimate about 100% more effectiveness compared to a subpar setup. Meaning all else equal the guy with the better s

Feels like windows has regressed since Windows 7. Usability wise its gotten way worse. I guess the top was windows 2000, XP, Vista(after some time) windows 7. Microsoft actually shipped a windows version(win8) which had a touch first interf

I don't know where this romanticizing of car free cities & no cars comes from, but it has gotten a hold in the eco / environmentalist camp and is being spread like shit on a farm. It's false advertising. Copenhagen for in

The more important question is - is it right that certain groups wield such power? The outrage culture is insane. Apple fires a top negotiator who have worked there for 22 years because someone somewhere is 'offended'. Most probab

Vitalik doesn't seem to be very smart. His blog postings are just useless rambles. He's a snake oil salesman.

Having played online FPS since the 90s I agree with you. I'm old but reflexes is rarely where the game is won or lost. Good equipment is a way more important aspect and good amount of recent gametime of course.

Yes it does, and at least video quality on facetime is as far as i've seen way better than what's available on Android. This eternal attempt of forcing Apple to make their products/platform more open is in opposition to a lot

Thing is, it just works. Facetime just works, iMessage just works. That means that you can let non tech people easily audio/video call, group chats, share photos, albums and what not with good quality. Android isn't bad, it is j

Elon's main argument is to become a multi planetary species, he's not arguing leaving earth for good at all. Money does not magically fix people however much you want to believe that.

This kind of thinking is so defeatist - why do anything at all then? And why is it the pro space people who need to stay on earth and save it, what about everyone else? Human history is progress and this is progress. “As for me, I am tormen

If you can drive the price ($ per ton to orbit) down, more demand will be created. Historically and right now the payload cost dwarfs the rocket costs. That will change and be reversed over time.

In India they optimize for maximum employment. It's the only place I've seen 7 people needed to refill a soda vending machine. Once I ordered some drinks brought up to my hotel room around 10 in the evening. It took forever - tur

What are the advantages of renaming something that is this globally known/famous? I mean, there must be deeply strategic and tactical business reasons (/s) for such a name change considering the mindshare the current branding has?

One of the things that is being shattered in Ukraine right now besides the Russian Army is the Russian self image. Now that's a powerful thing to lose. Russians have believed that they were a strong important country, now, the truth

Unrealistic timeframes also has the benefit of getting the most out of people. But Elon is getting quite a bit of flak for the expectations it sets. It sure will be interesting to see where FSD & Teslabot is in a couple of years. The pa

If one assumes that all terminals are in use by paying customers @ 110[1] per month that gives 1.3 billion a year in income. Plus 0,5 billion usd for the hardware. So far there have been 62 Starlink launches - assuming an average price of 6
