I never found that argument convincing either. What I do find convincing are the basic physics (CO2 absorbs more UV) coupled with actual physical evidence of effects in the real world.

I should warn any reader not to use this or any other novel cryptographic algorithm in production. Don't use anything crypto in production until it has been very heavily analyzed for years by professional cryptographers.

I saw that coming when they shoehorned a pointless cryptocurrency that nobody uses into it.

IQ seems to be more predictive at the low end than the high end. Someone with an IQ of 60 is handicapped. Someone with an IQ of 100 is normal. Above 100 the differences start to vanish into noise due to loads of other confounding factors an

This makes me think of all those UFO sightings of weird craft that flash multicolored lights that look like emission spectra you would get from plasma. I wonder if at least a few of these might have been classified experimental propulsion s

Of course it is. It's adware, with random foistware junk showing up in the start menu. That indicates crap and is utterly intolerable for an OS I paid money for. MS is pegging themselves as low-end junk by doing this.

I've changed my view radically on mass piracy since what I believed in my youth, and I no longer agree with or have any sympathy with it. In the information age, most valuable labor is increasingly the creation of information. "In

There is no painless way out of this mess. The first option is to inflate housing prices away. A $600k starter home would become reasonable and a loaf of bread would be $8-$10. The second option is to let housing crash and burn. The first o

Don't know about Falcon but I know with Dragon one mechanism is viewing the star field. On the Moon there's no atmosphere or erosion, so pattern recognition vs a known Lunar surface should work. Same should work to some extent on

I'd be surprised if mine is not, since the 2020 Air runs significantly cooler than the 2019 Air in spite of having twice the cores and being faster. It being 10nm is the best explanation for this. This might also explain the lack of an

This isn't that much better than the fully decked out quad core 2020 Air. The biggest difference is the ability to have 32GB of RAM. Both are 10nm Ice Lake processors, which offer much better battery life (can attest to this as I have

I want to believe what you write here, but reality seems to be proving that there are just far more absurdly gullible people out there than I would like to believe. I mean flat Earth is an actual thing. That proves to me that there are no

My personal favorite is Alpine Linux. It ditches a ton of other unnecessary cruft too. It feels lean and modern.

That's exactly my view. We had a chance to replace sysvinit with something better. Instead we managed to replace it with something that's horrible in an entirely different set of ways. The most devastating thing I can say about it

Isn't there an obvious reason? The US outsourced everything physical to other countries. You can fill stadiums in the US with finance, marketing, software, and business experts.

What people will pay for X is not at all rational. The market has been taught that most software is free, and that coffees cost five bucks. That is what people expect, so that is what they pay. Another reason is that it's tough to comp

Here's a thought: podcasting. Podcasting has the vibe of the early DIY web. It's largely independent and isn't "owned" by an oligopoly unlike social media. Indie podcasters sometimes struggle with distribution if th

I love the goals of this, but I have two hopefully constructive criticisms: (1) The on-ramp involves downloading and installing a bunch of stuff. Very few people are going to do that. Is there any way I can try it in a browser or via a tiny

I've wondered for a long time whether the second amendment also has anything to say about cryptography.

I feel like a lot of Americans won't ask for help because they fear it will mean that others who are not just like them might also get help, and that quite a bit of it boils down to latent (and even assumed and subconscious) racism. I

When all you have is a hammer... The Fed has a twin mandate (price stability, maximum employment) and two tools to satisfy it with: rate adjustments and liquidity injection (QE). That's just about it. They aren't allowed or config

The first ARPAnet was immediately useful to almost everyone who had access to it. Everyone has had access to cryptocurrency for over a decade, yet it still only has its original niches. This is a niche technology, not the next revolution.

That's because there isn't a vast network of shitware sites geared toward Linux users. If it got popular among non-technical users there would be. Never ever underestimate what people will do for even mediocre amounts of money. Lo

Smartphones became popular in Asia long before the USA too, and there was a big market for flip phone apps there too while those never caught on in the US. This model seems more than even US-centric or Anglo-centric. Its Valley-centric. I d
