Ross Ulbricht got out a few months ago. Could be his.

If you have $8B in BTC, is there any reasonable way to turn that into any fiat currency? USD, EUR, anything? Can you even buy that much USDC?

Ok folks, I need a hint. I can't ever build up enough energy to afford a second turret. What's the secret?

Did you actually try the game? It has a pretty unique gameplay element to it. I'd say that's where they passion and creativity comes in.

Curious why you chose Inngest over DBOS? (Disclosure: I’m the CEO of DBOS, trying to figure out what we can do better).

I think you missed my point. My point was that it's a common error, as surfaced by the AI.

You're right, and I edited my comment accordingly, but I asked Google and got this interesting AI response, so I guess a lot of people on the internet make the same mistake, since AI just echos its training data: The term "Contine

Updated my comment because you're right, I meant contiguous USA. And I'm aware it's about Canada, which is why I said "I wonder what the answer to this same question is for the USA". :)

Intersting! I know that in the contiguous USA, you will never be more than 20 miles from a road no matter where you are, but have no idea how far one can drive from a town.

The Fed keeps rigorous track of every bill. They have a database with the serial number of every live bill. The money isn't valid until the serial is put into the database, and any time a bank gets a bill, they have to verify the ser

There's only so many things you can put on your "I must tell everyone I meet about this" list. :) But yes, those are pretty important too.

Note to the author -- I love the interactive part. One suggestion to really drive the point home: Give the user an example of two strings that have a hash collision, and tell them to enter one into the box, and then test for the other in t

I love me a good bloom filter. Bloom filters are one of the concepts I try to make sure everyone I talk to about tech knows -- the others being Random Weight Hashing (aka Rendezvous Hashing, aka Highest Random Weight Hashing) and Cumulativ

Your math assumes each game is fair, but we know they aren't, because different players have different skill levels, and skill is an important factor. And if the first set is 6-0, that indicates one side has exceptionally better skills

It's really hard to become a cult classic when it's only on Netflix. But also yes, until recently (and even now), it pays a lot less to the people involved in the movie. There weren't really any residuals, the streamers mak

Skimming briefly, it looks like a lot of the missing score are some combo of 6-0 and then 0-6. Which makes sense. It's highly unlikely for a set to to be that unbalanced, and then be so unbalanced the other way.

This feel like it's related to the problem of no more mid-budget movies. Now that physical media (CD/VHS/DVD) isn't a thing, there is no long tail of fans to sustain mid-market efforts. Movies that cost a few tens of m

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you aren't just being pedantic to be a troll, and point out that when rounding 29 to the nearest 10, you get 30.

Not necessarily. My nephew is 14, he has an earbud in any time he is awake, as do his friends, unless they're playing sports. They still have conversations. At least to the young generation, it no longer indicates "do not distur

Commoditize the compliment at a massive scale? Make everything free and then only the raw natural resources become what makes a country valuable, instead of the output of their knowledge work.
