I don't think Bitcoin will "go out of fashion." In the long run, I believe it will "flip" the market cap of gold and become the new standard hedge against inflation. I've read reports that Bitcoin mining is alr

They could lend out their Bitcoin holdings to platforms like BlockFi, Celsius, or even negotiate loans OTC. Even the minimum APY of 3% would yield ~$45m per year. That would of course fluctuate with the spot price of Bitcoin.

I'd guess that they (the "West" / US and its allies) hoped that Chinese billionaires would be more amenable to the "Washington consensus" / neoliberal policies than the CCP.

You can impeach someone even after they have left office, which prevents them from holding any public office again. That's definitely worthwhile to pursue.

Absolutely, I wholeheartedly support a UBI. But that's not mutually exclusive with wanting to be financially independent now, instead of some indeterminate time in the future, once the political will for UBI becomes strong enough. And

From what I recall, the K12 core was essentially the same micro-architecture as Zen, but with ARM instruction decoders. There were some vague statements that the ISA allowed some optimizations compared to the x86 version, but we never got t

It's not just the re-order buffer, the M1 also has 8-way decode (vs 4-way for Intel & AMD microarchitectures), and a 128 KiB L1D cache (vs 48 recently from Intel, and 32 from AMD), and that cache still has a 3-cycle latency. These

Sure, I was speaking off the cuff based on my experience from a few years ago. Maybe I messed up and somehow had the DinD daemon not use a volume mount, and that's what caused it to build images slowly?

Docker-in-Docker (DinD) doesn't piggy back on the host's Docker daemon, but instead runs a stripped-down Docker daemon inside of the container. The major downside is that I/O is quite slow, since you're going through two
