Probably harder than it sounds now. Last time I checked, miners run custom made ASIC rigs. It's no longer kids with cheap GPUs and ROIs north of 100%. The network is 20 Thash/s and growing. Getting up to 51% would take a major budget and so

-1 in my regard for being a jerk. +2 for a sincere apology. A reminder that owning up to a mistake can make that mistake go away and then some.

I have an unlimited 4g lte plan for 50/month through metropcs with a boring but functional android phone. The cost for getting an iphone through AT&T seems rather high to me.

That $10/hr worker is also available for mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms, moving and unloading boxes, refilling condiment/utensil dispensers, taking out the trash, etc. When business is slow, the robot just sits.

The users are the product. Advertising is how you sell them. If you think about the advertising model as selling your users/visitors then the high volume required becomes more obvious. You don't sell an ad slot for $1k. You sell a user for

I don't understand what Dell has that Microsoft would want. Is Dell even capable of doing its own engineering? This seems to give Windows OEMs a giant signal that they need to jump ship, but doesn't give Microsoft the hardware capabilities

Under your scenario they would probably even have a good idea of which machine was the customer's, but without confirmation they can't risk giving away another customer's machine.

A few college football programs are more profitable than Microsoft or Google. The vast majority of them just throw lots of money down the drain chasing alumni donations that will never come.

My partner has a job in academia which can't pay the rent but includes full health and dental. Before we got together it was basically a $20/month high deductible catastrophic plan mixed with some prayer to FSM.
