With its current market cap of $14B, could someone buy Coinbase and then decide to just keep all the Bitcoin managed there? Is there any real legal obligation for them to give users back their deposited coins, or is that just their current

I interpret that as: they made 6x returns as the S&P, but then had a bad quarter and are down to 2x returns. Still sounds pretty good.

Surely they’re just badly explaining that it has a bit of “potting soil” to give it a better chance to grow.

I’ve had the same idea and totally agree. It would also be great for when you have multiple switches controlling one light like in a hallway. A voice-coil motor like from a hard drive arm could work well: fast, quite, and could work like an

In general adding heat to the earth doesn’t really matter, because it’s constantly radiating to space. The sun shines adding a ton of heat all the time, and the same amount radiates out. Running some more power plants isn’t going to compet

It’s not a one way trip if you want to leave. They’ve said in previous presentations they plan to bring the ships back for multiple flights, and so there’s an option to return if you want it.

In the presentation he says one of the main problems is that launches are loud, and so would probably need to be 30mi from anything. The plan is lots of sea based launch & landing platforms.

Why don’t you put multiple versions of your important documents on the blockchain, and then later you can pick and choose which version you want to “prove” are real?

I saw this “Allen Organ Gyrophonic Projector Rotating Speaker” for sale yesterday on Craigslist. I’d never heard of such a thing before. https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/msg/d/olympia-allen-organ...

But you have to focus your efforts to get the biggest results. In this case I suspect only government can solve the problem (because someone’s going to have to change or end entire industries). So the best use of our energy might trying to

Note that this doesn’t work by detecting his “imagined” letters. It’s detecting him trying to move his paralyzed hand through the motion of drawing the letters on paper. By measuring the motor cortex activity it seems to be looking at some

Looks neat. FYI the templates search isn’t working. I’d love to browse for more examples.

It’s also been solved (or isn’t a problem) with car share apps like Car2Go or Zipcar. Those cars don’t get cleaned between rides, but system asks how clean the car is when you start a trip.

If we can keep kids from catching it for another few months, they can get the vaccine. That’s a huge benefit.

I wouldn’t support a flat fee either since it wouldn’t incentivize less use of power or better energy sources. With that type of proposal you pay more, even if you’re trying to do good. Here’s an example alternative proposal: a $10/gal

If you give a satellite a shove, it will end up on a slightly higher or lower (or eccentric) orbit depending which way you shove. It won’t keep floating off endlessly into space unless you shove it with enough energy to get to escape veloc

Even if they need to refuel quickly, why not launch 6 starships for that mission? They’re planning to build lots of them aren’t they?

It’s not enough to lose your investment. You should lose your share of the penalty. The idea of limited liability is heinous.

Five years ago I tried to rent a house I liked and didn’t get it. A couple months ago I saw it was for sale with two days left to the sale date. I bought it and am sitting in it now. It feels very strange, like I got on a train I missed.
