The adoption and cost decrease is so ridiculously fast that the first two charts should have been logarithmic instead of linear.

I used to pirate a lot of stuff and had a couple of Copland CDs. Even installed some versions and they would never last longer than 5min before crashing.

I think you must be confusing it with one of the later Powerbooks with passive matrix screens. I have a Portable in the attic somewhere, and I used to boot it up and play around with it a bit. The screen was dark (no backlight) but very cri

The 0.50EUR per-install fee is just obvious malicious compliance. Will be interesting to see how fast the EU reacts to that.

On the other hand, as someone with ADHD who is easily distracted, I couldn't even finish reading the article. Those GIFs are super annoying and don't play once, no they play again and again. Sad, because it sounded interesting, bu

I guess if you are inside the crypto ecosystem, it's easier to pay nodes via tokens.

Of course it's both but if you look at Apple's M1-M3, which are a SOC combining CPU, GPU and RAM, you can see it has technological merit. The things are known to be real fast.

You also track who tightened the bolt when with which torque (could be wrong if the machine is defective and that is exactly what you want to be able to audit). Some machines are even able to tell in which spatial position they were used -

HN had a hate boner for crypto back in 2015 when I read about Ethereum here. Nothing has changed, it's a simple lack of curiosity and old men yelling at changes in the world. It's not just crypto though, the same saturated dullnes

I will never stop being amazed that producers of high-end networked IoT equipment do not hire a pen tester team for their products. It's brutally hard to get networked security right, so you should hire an external red team from time t

Well, Boeing most certainly hurt itself. But in the case of Bosch, people won't die so the fallout would be less severe.

Strictly speaking, we don't need it. But there's real demand in the industry to use networked IoT devices wherever possible and harvest the data so you can do things like QC (hand an audit trail to your customer that all bolts hav

I don't believe for a second that Bitcoin or any other DLT will be the world's reserve currency. But the amount of hubris and preoccupation about this here on HN is really something else. I've long learned not to try to engag

If it happens, it won't happen overnight and chains could migrate to different algorithms. IIRC, Monero switched hashing algos, even for unrelated reasons.

You don't need futures to arb this. You can demand a payout in cash if the ETF price is higher than the Bitcoin price. There will be market makers jumping on that.

I wonder how the data would look if we included the last 5y where bond returns were negative and stocks absolutely soared.

I have an extremely hard time perceiving any difference on a 27" 4K monitor. I am not even sure I really see them. The examples are just bad. If you want to show something, screenshot and enlarge it to show the artifacts.

Yes, you are misreading. Diamond jewellery has one or very few stones which makes for a clean look. Moissanites are cheap so pieces featuring them usually look like pimped out rides. Me, personally, I would give my GF the amount in stocks b

>I think Moissanites are inferior to diamonds in appearance in my personal, subjective opinion. Yeah, same. They have too much bling and look exactly like something the nouveau riche would parade around. To make things worse, moissanite

Buying smart home devices with cloud integration also just means that at some point, the manufacturer will declare it obsolete and will rip out support to force you to re-buy every 5-7y.

If someone brings this up, I am actually happy if legislation forces them to do it. More often than not, it is possible and companies end up with better systems.

But it is broken, as it is unable to support frequent European names. There's also the case to be made that if the sources are lost, you need to rewrite from scratch, as you never know when you need to implement new functionality that

Germany's central bank in 2013 was forced by those rumors to re-patriate a lot of gold formerly held in Paris and by the Federal Reserve in New York. So called conservatives seeded stories that the Fed had emptied the vaults and only p

On the other hand, a lot of coal-fired plants had to be brought back online because many more than usual of France's nuclear power plants were offline during winter, so Germany had to burn coal to make up for their shortfall.
