I read the book about it, and it was actually an IRS agent who found a super old forum post where the guy announced he had created the Silk Road using a username that was easily linked to his real name. The IRS guy figured it out and nobody

I’m always amazed by statements like this. Starship is currently a test program and is rapidly evolving. They’re improving it as they learn. What you said is akin to looking at the Wright brothers plane and saying “no way that thing crosses

I agree 100%, though I guess holding onto the monster Power Supply in the Mac Pro has me hoping they're still working on something "big" that would justify it.

I do exactly the same with Apple laptops. Just replaced a 2015 MBP (that I bought used in 2019) with a 2021 MBA. Before that I had a 2011 MBA. New one is 16GB/2TB and was $700. It’s the fastest computer i have ever used by a wide margi

Of course it does! Those higher crime areas are using up limited time and money that could be better put to use making your life better, but instead it's being used to deal with all that crime and criminals. Your live is measurably wor

The strange part is the M MacPro still has the monster 100W power supply from the intel days. Why on earth did they leave that?

I've always wondered if they'll do something for a true monster Mac Pro.. 128 cores, gobs of memory, etc.

I think it's reasonable to presume that any territory added to a country will become the average of that country over time. So the better question is actually why is the average American such a violent criminal compared to the average

Keep in mind the EPA is cracking down HARD on businesses that sell any kind of "tuning" or "delete" device, handing out fines in the millions of dollars and shutting down businesses. It's all well and good to say &q

The US has much higher debt than any point in history, which is climbing rapidly, and are manipulating things as much as possible. I wouldn’t hold them up as a shining example of “good” or “we should do the same”.

We’re not ok with it, but this is where unlimited lobbying has gotten us. The rich and powerful companies literally make the laws they want.

Performance tunes are very often illegal in the US for messing with emissions stuff. The EPA have been cracking down HARD lately. I can see a future where auto manufacturers lobby to make “unlocking” features highly illegal due to the DMCA
