If I recall, this problem was used in "The Martian" by Andy Weir, when one of the rockets carrying supplies failed. At high pressures, some of the cargo liquified and the rocket exploded due to shifting weight distribution. It may

Yes, that's correct - a very worthwhile read, regardless of your profession.

Given the absolutely massive and technical amount of features that aws requires, it's not surprising (or even worthy of condemnation) that the interface can get somewhat convoluted. That said, I wonder if there is a stripped down versi

Self expression is all well and good, but when participating in a discussion, we'd all be much better served if you didn't hurl offensive and ungrounded insults at large segments of the population. Curmudgeonly is one way to put

You joke, but from a certain perspective and within certain parameters, there are people who would find this acceptable, and even preferred. I recall the movie Solace (which wasn't great, but I digress) where the premise is that a seri

It doesn't necessarily have BS written all over it - in fact, I think there are MANY people who got left holding the bag with alts.

I can vouch for the luxe. Life changing. And it's a good conversation piece :)

I feel you just described a core reason that many people are conservative. Even if they don't know it. The risks of the hypotheticals outweigh the potential benefits.

Well, you don't seem to feel very strongly about privacy, so you could have safely ignored the rest of the parent comment's advice.

Though I find your examples laughable, I do agree that constituents on both sides are generally uninformed and lack critical thinking skills. Sad!

I think LeonM's point WAS that it's unnecessary to qualify "blockchain" with distributed, because as you say, it would be relaively pointless otherwise.

I won't claim to be an expert on this, but isn't that the whole point of multiple / decentralized oracles?

I don't really buy that recessed into a hole argument. I bet that case manufacturers would have no trouble modifying their designs to accommodate it. Like a gradient of thickness leading to the area around the camera, for example.

On the other hand, Apple has seen time and time again that thinner phone deliver more profits. Maybe people complaining about performance will have an impact this time! One can hope. Also, I was under the impression that you can replace bat

While I appreciate the sentiment that we should be distrustful of every large company that has our data, including apple, I take issue with the assertion that unless that publish their source code, they are selling our data. Logically, appl
