I find it stunning when people claim Satoshi to be anyone other than Nick Szabo. Any reasonable person sould come to the conclusion that it is him. There is plenty of direct evedence that points to him.

Are phones really better? A scanner has uniform and perfect lighting every time. On a phone there are often issues with glare or shadows.

Not directly related to article, but I just want to express my appreciation for (unclassified) US military manuals in general. There is a manual for everything , from painting a Black-hawk to cooking Bolognese.

Those gear assemblies were scrapped years ago. I expect they will just let some air out of the tires.

I visited northern Laos in 2013. Speaking to people along the construction route, many didn't even know what a train was. None had ever seen one before. I only saw a single paved road in the country, which I hitchhiked on from the Chin

It uses a client-authoritative peer-to-peer architecture, which has surely led to billions in lost revenue. I'm surprised selling GTA money has done as well as it has, considering anyone could get as much as they wanted for free.

How did they get the architecture so wrong on that "open-world game that involves driving cars and running pedestrians over"?

Yup. Our jail cells are nicer than the in the US. They even come with a TV, which the dorm rooms don't, and would have to pay a license fee for.

It's cheaper if you don't need to provide classrooms or textbooks for the "invalid" children. Just let them freeze to death out in the forest.

“I don’t want to call these jails, but ... these aren’t really good dorms.” In the UK, a standard dorm room is a 3m x 2m box that is indistinguishable from a jail cell.

A B-17 once landed at an airfield in Belgium without any crew on board. Just by chance it was pointing in the right direction, with the right amount of lift and drag and thrust.

Was acquired by future in 2018. They do it far worse on other publications they own. e.g. on PC Gamer, 90% of screen estate is taken by ads.

OneWeb might be more suitable for this. At least their biz model is based around doing things it, while Starlink is direct-to-consumer.

A uniquely American take. Great wine for cheap has always existed in Europe. Before much of it started being exported to the USA, even more so.

One might reasonably assume the creators of this stuf are training their models on real CSAM, and thus are guilty of many crimes in addition to the production. Everyone else training models to produce imagery uses real data, so why would AI

We don't know what will happen. Further research will provide more answers.

Ideally self-contained to avoid running wires in the mast, e.g. A WiFi equiped Arduino with small battery and micro solar panel in weather-proof enclosure would be ideal.

The stats are for all ages of gamers in China. Kids are going to be a very small part of that, so one might not expect to see significant change. Also considering most Chinese kids never had a lot of free time in which they could play gam

We can look at precedent to see how things might turn out in this situation. A police K9 is property in the same sense. i.e. the dog is not a person, and lethal force can't be used to defend it. In practice, it doesn't work out th

The attacks were lower tech than that. Just social engineering/phishing/sim-swapping. Things that could be done from any device without even a terminal.

YDIH is based on false assumptions imo. Check out Robert Schoch's 'solar induced dark age' theory. Schoch deconstructs a lot of YDIH's claims.

I don't think ITER will ever be completed. They have delayed the announcement of the delay, but it's expected to be another 5+ years. It's the most complicated machine ever built, with each part built by a different firm in a

Really nice. Usually the data is accessible somewhere, but not all in one place in for free.
