According to you balloons with radio transmitters are futuristic technology. It didn't achieve scale because the benefits that it offered were too small, and it was too impractical. There was literally nothing futuristic about it at al

Considering that I've worked at ISPs since the early '90s when they were dial-ups and watched them grow up into something more, Yes I would say that I've analyzed. You offer no evidence of any futurist thing that Google has d

Starlink is a futurist project which is really what Elon Musk wants to be. For something like Google they wouldn't do this typically because as a company and their leadership they aren't futurists. Google has typically invested in

Have you taken a look at some of the draconian speech laws that the UK has passed? They are definitely on the same level as Iraq or even Iran.

You can say none of the early backers are getting anything but are the developers is the game company what is the profit margin they're making what are their salaries what are they getting out of it?

This is got to be one of the biggest Ponzi schemes of all time. I am seriously shocked that the government has not started to investigate this. It has become a ridiculous joke. I remember 10 years ago now a person I worked with was all hype

Bernie Madoff and Bitcoin is another false analogy. The closest analogy to Bitcoin is something that people have put value in that is above its material worth. There is no central manager that is taking later profits to pay earlier profits,

But we do have many processes by which gold is destroyed in a way that is unrecoverable or significantly more expensive to recover to make it not viable. We also have government to devaluing gold by not adopting the gold standard and adopti

Bitcoin is not like stocks it's more like gold or a commodity that someone has placed value in beyond its material value. When you say if you win someone else loses you need to give a concrete example of that. Because any fixed supply

I would not agree that it's the most plausible theory. It is a hypothesis but what this website is doing is selectively picking there observations to align with their already known conclusion. Because when you start digging into all of

Of course they are. The busier airport to get the more unknown factors there are that they cannot account for. Better to have a padded flight time then be perpetually late and worrying about connections.

Kind of silly that this applies to transit only as well.

I understand the desire for drones and other technology that's going to reduce your sides risk and casualties but there is another side to that. Waging war without risk isn't good either. War should not be "safe", it sho

One approach I didn't see discussed here is storing the UUID across 2 columns as 2 64 bit integers and forming a composite primary key. There's still tradeoffs with this as with all the methods but depending on use case it's

I have made purchases online through bank transfers but it is exceedingly rare that I do that. I have to have a very high level of trust with the company and I have to have a very high level of confidence in their products. Because the prob

I don't switch my ISP because of their excellent customer service, instead I keep them because I have no idea how good their customer service is. When you need to know how good a company's customer service is that means the compan

The reason for the disparity in pricing has nothing to do with the "security features" that are offered with SSO and has everything to do with the increased support cost that come with it. The company I work for offers a local bas

You're trying to say the machine itself is the problem, when it's not the machine it's the operator. You're trying to shift blame here.

I wouldn't say that everyone who owns a Tesla loves it. As a matter of fact everyone I know who has bought a Tesla and loves it came from a car that was a lower quality and lower priced car than the Tesla that they bought. The people t

Tell me, how else do you currently do business without agreeing? You are the fool to think you can engage in anything without some tos involved. This is why consumer protections need to be put in place.
