I don't think it's really that hard to make a nuclear weapon, honestly. Just because you have the plans for one, doesn't mean you have the uranium/plutonium to make one. Weapons-grade uranium doesn't fall into you

In the case of BTC and gold, mining puts downward price pressure as new "resources" are "discovered". Miners need to sell the gold/BTC to recoup the cost associated with mining. In BTC it's energy, in gold it

Gold has scarcity, demand, and a certain use in electronics that puts in a price floor. BTC has only demand, really. The number of circulating BTC doesn't affect demand for it. But given the number of failed crypto currencies out the

It's also one thing if you want to provide SingleThreadedApp and a MultiThreadedApp instances in your package, but that should be left up to the user -- or made explicit in package docs. (We're spinning up 100 go routines!) Over a

This is not true in Idaho. A stop sign is a yield for bikes. They call this the "potato" laws. The practical reality of this is that if you're stopped at a stop sign, a bike may be coming from behind and will pass you on th

I think you should do one thing really well, before expanding. Import from public GitHub libraries could be fun. Differential pairs. Impedance controlled traces. Going further, if I have one supplier's stack up with controlled impedanc

There's not really any need. The judge did it because the prosecution said he did. The prosecution brought charges because the police said it was him. The police arrested him because the corporation said it was him. The corporation sai

As Delta says on their flights "We know you have a choice in flying..." Yes! And I can choose to fly on a plane with a better maintenance/crash record than the 737 Max! You're comparing apples and oranges. But the custo

This sucks. I honestly think that software should have a 25 year copyright at most, and the source code should be released after copyright expires. So windows 95 source code would have been released in 2020.

So if you hate fiat currency without any underlying value, why are you willing to defend any "currency" without any underlying value? You could proclaim "GOLD STANDARD" I guess, and it might be better, or probably even w

There's a youtube video of Helen Keller who was both blind and deaf. She learned to speak in her adult life. I don't have the link handy but it's entitled: "Helen Keller Speaks." If you look at the video it seems s

What I think is interesting is that when a crypto something goes to zero, it never recovers. Whether it's an NFT, a coin, or a so called stable coin. It dies, and there's no underlying value to liquidate. You bought some cryptog

Shorting a stock often helps get it to the "correct" market price faster. If the market truly thinks that BTC is really propped up by Tether, then well, downward price pressure should help the market price the true value of BTC.

There's a management strategy to always interview even if they don't actually need anyone. The idea is that if someone spectacular comes on the market they can either replace an existing dev, or create a new role for that person.

I'm more inclined to believe management is dysfunctional more than it's actually functional. The real question is how dysfunctional is it? I realize this is a cynical take, but management is largely about power and control than i

The bottleneck would most certainly be memory, as you'll quickly overwhelm the on-die cache, without careful optimization. That said, I think AMD's chiplet strategy might come into play. I could see AMD release a 4 core 8 thread
