Statistically, most people are living in India, Pakistan and China. Which of those has the best tap water?

AFAIK it survived ETH price crash from $1400 to $90 .

Yeah, like we do here in Flint, Michigan

It is because of Russian navy & bombers exercise 500 mi from Hawaii. FAA was alerted because there are some unexpected planes near Hawaii civil air routes. Military & FAA don’t say that because it doesn’t sound good before Biden-Put

Yep, looks like you found Satoshi’s HN account - blastomere. Things they talk about - energy consumption, crypto puzzles, similarity to gold, etc. In 2008! It is either Satoshi or someone very close - Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, Wei Dai, Dave K

It doesn’t matter if the total goes up. Also US population is not declining, so not “all”.

Too many people on the Earth. We need a plan to level off popluation growth before it hits 10B, then 15B then 20B (by the time average 1BR apt. in a bad part of LA would be $10M adjusted for inflation).

I agree that it is an economic decision. In my understanding it didn’t cost them millions of dollars to do it zero-downtime. Maybe a $10k-$50k in development/admin/test hours to make it so. Also engineers get better (and happier)

Is it possible that by some mistake the NSA your company was working with was National Sheepfarmers Association? Did representatives of the “NSA” have a New Zealand accent?

I just don’t get all the “just shutdown the db for an hour, you’re not Netflix” comments. If you can do things properly, as an engineer, you absolutely should, even if your company serves “just” hundreds of thousands instead of hundreds of

May I ask, in which areas you think US education is the best in the world? Math? Physics? Bio-science? CS? Gender studies?

I was just establishing frame of reference for the investment amout. 1B is barely news-worthy.

by coolspot 5y ago
1B is like three last-gen ASML machines, good start I guess, but chip manufacturing can easily absorb 10x of that. As I understand it, there are no plans to turn Europe into a chip leader, they just want to protect automotive supply chain.

There are many engineers who do super-boring stuff as main work, working on mind-bogglingly hard problems afterhours. Also that weather-widget engineer could do some basic tasks offloading more experienced engineer, who would offload even m

Does the 503 page load fast(ly) or slowly?

It is Mac and Windows only, it doesn’t have Linux or Android version. Compare to Spotify, which is cross-platform: iOS, MacOS, Win, Linux, Android and probably others.

It is also possible that criminals made themself look stupid and sacrificed a small part (~70 of 310 BTC) of monthly income to throw FBI a bone, so they can fuck off gracefully.

It can be a hardlink (mount -t bind). Source: my hackintosh has small SSD but large HDD.

Same way as currently botnet command center IPs are blackholed. Scan the Internet for any BTC/Ethereum open ports and blackhole them. Also, some ISPs disconnect users upon detection of BitTorrent traffic.

> competent competitors Are you saying there are end-to-end encrypted home surveillance cameras for 1/5 of the price? Or that there are cheap cameras uploading your videos to some shady server?

That's not very substantial comment of yours. Did we have global climate change, ecosystems extinction and resource depletion 200 years ago? Every single human on the planet consumes enormous amount of resources during their life time,
