Right and that's my point. Apple is good at this, but Android manufactures aren't. Typically you are lucky to get 3 years of updates. Some new phones, like the Razer Phone, don't even come with the latest version of Android.

Say you have 10,000 miners, once you find a hash you can start all your miners mining the next block. Can you use the time between blocks to your advantage? If you find the hash after say 6 minutes, you could delay broadcasting the block to

Unlike Android manufacturers, Apple has a good track record of supporting older hardware. I have a 5S which was released nearly 5 years ago and is still receiving updates.

As someone who hasn’t even worked in the US, let alone SF, is this a typical wage for that area? I live in a small European city, earning around half this, but my outgoings are a lot less (under €1k/mo) than what I would be paying in S

How exactly does the printing of tickets work? Most countries have special machines (owned by the lottery authority) for printing lottery tickets, but this seems to be built into the store’s POS?

Neodymium starts to lose magnetivity above 80C, and ICE usually run at a higher temperature than this. Don’t forget Toyota is probably the biggest manufacturer of hybrid engines, and in their setup the cooling fluid runs through both the IC

Outside of the downtown areas, a lot of Dubai is like this too (low rise developments). From one side of the city to the other is more than 60km / 40 miles, so there is a lot of urban sprawl. IMO Dubai is a pretty poor example of what

Could you elaborate a bit more on your morning routine plans? I’d like to get up earlier and do more productive things before I start work (I’m remote and flexible), but as it doesn’t get light here until 8am at this time of year, I find it

I’ve found MAPS.ME to be a good alternative for navigation. It’s not perfect (especially with time estimates) and the UI is a bit clunky, but as long as the OSM data is correct it should get you to where you need to go.

I’ve found Airbnb to be the best way to deal with this. Book for few weeks, then talk to the owner about staying longer. If there is good supply in the area, then you have a good chance of being able to stay longer as it won’t be booked. Al

The main advantage of a hybrid system is that the engine can run at a more efficient speed, which is independent of the power being delivered to the wheels. Say you are driving through a town, accelerating from stopped to 30mph then cruisin

I got a Dell MFD color laser printer a few years ago. The machine was around £150 and a replacement set of cartridges (3rd party - lasts around 1500 pages) is under £20. I’m not a heavy user, but for my occasional home use it’s great. Last

> But some 1000 people come to a city like Bangalore everyday That’s really a lot of people if think about it. That’s 365,000 people a year. If a new city was built for all those people, in France it would be the 5th largest city.

I don’t know where “here” is, but in the U.K. it’s perfectly legal. You can even give yourself (as a director) an interest free loan. However if the amount owed is greater than ~£10k(?) at the end of the corporate tax year, you need to pay

Same with my 2010 Prius. The navigation is fairly good (as far as car navigation goes) and it has a HUD with turn-by-turn directions, but the maps are stuck in 2010. I’m not paying a few hundred euro per year to update them. Even if I did

To transmit you’d also need an amateur radio license, although the requirements usually aren’t that difficult.
