If you look at the timeline for tether it seems even more suspect. In late august of 2020 there are 10 billion tethers in circulation. They supposedly grew 8x in less than 2 years while being under investigation for bank fraud and a litany

I will start this off by saying I am very pro nuclear. However, I think it is likely that the last nuclear power plant to be built in the United States will be built in the next 5-10 years. Looking at the trajectory of renewables and energy

To be fair 'only' requiring liquid nitrogen is a much easier proposal than liquid helium as nitrogen can be sourced from air and is way less expensive.

The economics don't make sense to me. You can get a solar panel and portable power station for less cost today for similar or better power output. The only benefit here is that this will work in the dark, but even then I'd rather

I agree that CBOR is unnecessarily shoe horned into the spec, but it honestly isn't that bad. IMO there are two other problems that need to be resolved for webauthn to go mainstream. The first is the fact that there is no mechanism for

I'm surprised that Johnson and Johnson wouldn't want to immediately snap up any available royalties that they could. Getting rid of perpetual royalties seems like an absolute no brainer to me if I were the CEO of JnJ.

Coal accounts for ~11.5% of rail volume[0], so they won't be screwed. (obviously not great to lose that much business) You might see prices drop due to a lack of demand, but other products will still be shipped via rail. Intermodal con

Diminishing marginal utility is certainly a thing, and I would counter argue that the longer it takes for a technology to be transformative the less likely it is actually needed by society. At a certain point in time the answers to both of
