I hope he rots in jail like that other fraudster Madhoff. I'm pretty sure he already saw this coming and moved his assets into his family circle. In addition he probably also set out to destroy incriminating evidence and contacting pol

I used to download movies and stuff from Usenet and I noticed that there were a lot of errors in the files even though TCP/IP uses checksums. I assumed this came from people downloading and uploading the files repeatedly and errors cre

The grid can cope but there simply isn't enough power being supplied to the grid. The power companies should've planned the maintenance more prudently.

Depends on your point of view. When you're starting a new company you can't afford to have some employee call in sick and having to pay them for an x amount of months/years. Your company would simply fail and you'd be ba

How is that legal? Or is Poland a lawless nation?

Obviously the grid can cope if you size it accordingly. In France they heat their homes with electric central heating and the system can cope. So EV's shouldn't be a problem.

I'm surprised that no file system has made it into mainstream which has error-correction capabilities (without RAID) such as Reed-Solomon or Fountain Codes. Also, I'd like to see file systems with cryptographic hashes for protecti

This is PR greenwashing as this has been done many years ago by the Russians (in the 70's or 80's I believe). Note that EasyJet was also involved for PR reasons. IMHO hydrogen isn't a very good fuel to carry around. Ammonia o

I do. But few vegans.

by UltraViolence 4y ago
Veganism should be outlawed. Everyone should eat meat, period. I'm wary of female vegans since I believe pregnant women should eat meat to deliver a healthy baby. When she's not pregnant she can stop eating meat for all I care.

I'm not advocating anything. Talking to minors is not an offense and I find it despicable that any Social Network would mark that as "suspicious." And my point is that I want to be able to use my computer for whatever I see f

The EU believes it can regulate U.S. Big Tech even if they're not operating on EU soil. The Cookie Banner is one example. Most U.S. websites detect European users and show the pop-up accordingly. IMHO a U.S. web-based newspaper or site

So we should allow market abuse just because it isn't of vital importance? Me thinks not.

Ol' Joe can't completely pull his hands off Saudi Arabia. Same with Turkiye. Both are too important to the strategic and economic well-being of the U.S. to cut loose.

Why just HikVision? And why only certain models? I'm pretty sure almost every Chinese made CCTV camera is riddled with backdoors and vulnerabilities. And almost all upload their video streams to some server in China.

AFAIK you can still exchange Rubles for USD or EUR, so buying stuff shouldn't be too much trouble. The problem Russia has is that it can't buy anything from the West no matter how much money it's willing to pay because of tra

FTX's collapse has left its mark, but this will only be temporary. Bitcoin is already demonstrating its usefulness by helping countries evade economic sanctions. There are a truckload of nations who're fed up with the West's

I believe the war in Ukraine has permanently damaged the USD's dominance in the medium to long term. The use of a supposedly neutral financial network (SWIFT) as a sanction weapon will make other nations who aren't on good terms w

Saudi Arabia isn't going off the USD. That would seriously undermine their relation with the U.S. and could even have them branded an antagonistic nation. The dominance of the USD is EXTREMELY important to the U.S. and I can assure you

We'll see the dominance of the USD erode in the next three decades is my prediction. Look at how successful Putin was in demanding payment for Russian oil in Rubles. It has propped up the Ruble enormously and its predicted collapse has

Why would you get a new one next year? Apple devices are supported for a long time and are essentially cheaper than most Chinese offerings that cost less than half the price of an iPhone.

That Microsoft is going to abuse its ownership of Activision is a certainty. They've already proclaimed they will only keep certain franchises on PlayStation for several more years after the merger succeeds. This merger needs to be sto

You would have multiple companies licensing high-end RISC-V cores. And competition will almost always translate into lower prices. It wouldn't surprise me that you could even get a "source code" license for the core and modif

Why are we still wasting time on this? Hong Kong has been lost. China won. Democracy in HK is dead. The actions of these freedom protesters are moot and useless. There's no sense reporting on their endeavors as the outcome is clear cu

You know Apple's mantra: "Don't leave money on the table." I'm totally not surprised about this, although it will hurt their privacy USP (unique selling point).

Because the lack of licensing will foster innovation!! Look at where RISC-V is today. It's already competitive with most ARM products and I'm convinced someone somewhere is already concocting a super-duper RISC-V core that blows t

Sure, greed is good. But unlimited greed will eventually drive away customers as Amazon is illustrating very conveniently (and AltaVista before it). Google too needs to be vigilant that it's decreasing utility isn't driving away u

The internet is essentially a worldwide network so having a company claim it only falls under U.S. jurisdiction even though it reaches users everywhere is still an unsolved enigma. Most U.S. Big Tech companies have willingly set-up shop in

Until an explosion damages the heat-pipes and you get a runaway meltdown and explosion of the core after hydrogen gas builds up. Very realistic scenario if the thing is used in a war zone.

This device is mostly aimed at the military and maybe the industrial market (think about a chemical plant or large factory). When our military invade yet another country they now don't need to haul diesel fuel to keep the lights on.
