Except that's not true anymore. The new tax plan will tax crypto-to-crypto transactions.

I don't think it's an attempt to cripple the use of their gaming cards so much as it is to cripple the use of their new Titan V.

I think this is because they want people to use Titan V workstations. They know that the Titan V will cannibalize Tesla sales of they let people put them in data centers. It's still a shady move, but it makes sense.

I you had actually read through the article, you'd know that they're not going to make people use their full real names.

On the one hand, being able to control spotify on any device, from any device is nice. On the other hand, it's kind of bullshit that they don't allow at least 2 simultaneous streams. Two is too few to password share meaningfully,

Even so, the rule should at least only apply to data that was solicited. If you intentionally send data that was never asked for, through a channel not meant for that data, you shouldn't expect it to be treated the same as data that wa

Young people, except for a small fringe, do not accept communism. Most just want a more left wing mixed market economy.

That's why we need to reform our political system. In the US our democracy is very weak and subject to attack by special interests. A more robust democratic system like MMP could be trusted with more power. Though IMO, we should go eve

I wish that article included Japan in its analysis. Its construction industry is supposedly quite efficient, but I would have liked to seen the hard numbers.

Cuba is a socialist country, and while they have plenty of problems, you don't see the kind of situation we're seeing in Venezuela. I don't think socialism is a good system, but we should at least try to honestly understand t

We don't need something with substantial mass though. We could send a really minimal probe with no landing capability to take close up images.

Actually, that's not how our eyes work at all. In fact, the "reverse blinking" you describe is much closer to the truth. The retina has a very small region of high acuity that darts around your visual field, essentially takin
