   Disrupting the 2nd law of thermodynamics has proven hard, yes. I for one wouldn’t bet against it.

   More of a Tomato fan myself (used multiple ASUS routers), but using a router with stock firmware always seemed not worth the risk when there are so many great alternatives.

   Excellent work. I have found (and commented on previously, sorry for the repetition but it's so common as to warrant it IMHO) that one of the biggest hard-to-diagnose issues is in https://www.nslookup.io/learning/z

   Late reply, sorry. My company got a default judgement in small claims court ($3k) that I only learned about months after it happened because the state of California had a totally wrong address (mixed up with some other company) in their dat

   IANAL, but: >they are now obligated to show up to court or otherwise risk a default judgement against them that cannot be reversed later. Is definitely untrue. You can appeal a default judgement and win. Ask me how I know. (Edit: attemp

   Cheaper, but not available. So not abstract. So if Jevon's Paradox holds true for transportation as it did for steam power, we may need lots of fossil-fuel electric plants just to meet demand. Maybe that's "temporary", b

   Powering a 100% carbon neutral EV "fleet" would require lots more (solar/wind)+battery or nuclear that is unlikely to be developed as quickly as the consumption.

    More anecdata: my Open Sprinkler Pi has been running for many years, with only power-fail reboots (maybe once a year). It doesn’t write much to flash, but it’s never needed a reboot because it failed.

    Thus the future of AI eating its own tail - when we give up on maintaining the sites that feed the AI because the AI is so good at replacing them. Then AI stops learning.

    while I might buy that the past is strongly influenced by the present (“facts” change over time), I don’t think we have much of a model for the future to say much of anything about how it influences the past. Or, I guess the point is, maybe

    Yes, brushless necessitates more rotating mass plus the loss in the wireless exciter. Longer life (no brush changes or slip ring wear), but lower efficiency. I wonder if a hybrid rotor would pay off? It would still need brushes, but the cur

    Please read up on the oracle problem. All of the examples you list require external trust outside the blockchain, making its use moot. (Perhaps recurring subscriptions could be done without external trust, but I don’t think it helps the dom

    I don't think the NIST paper actually acknowledges ANY use cases. It does a fair job of pointing out the Oracle Problem, which is overlooked or underestimated by many, many crypto enthusiasts (and, IMHO, investors). Currency is a re

    It isn't. Afaik, there isn't a single water restriction plan in any CA jurisdiction (I've been looking). Also, the "builder's remedy" specifically avoids EIRs of almost all types, including traffic and parking.
