You know WiFi can use the same spectrum and get better range? Check out Halow. For IOT applications, power during transmit is not a big deal. Battery life is limited by the leakage (sleep power). Also those "miners" use lots of po

Can they sell killed animals (in the live market)?

by tradertef 4y ago
Agree. The amount of spectrum they use for their application is so small (15 MHz?) that there is really no good use-case that can not be addressed by cellular or Wi-Fi. Helium is just a toy project with good marketing. It is really a scam.

When you state "Fiat" currency, you are probably referring to USD or Euros. Fiat currency in other countries like Venezuella or Turkey has much different status. Do you have any proof that Bitcoin's value is driven by wealthy

Exactly my situation. I was there for a business trip a couple of weeks ago and all those dialogs make the experience of web horrible.

95% of existing gold is used for store (including jewelery) [1]; not for industrial applications. [1] https://www.bullionvault.com/gold-guide/why-gold

For the record: I agree except "its cost" part. Bitcoin consumes less energy than cloth dryers. It is not "cheap" for the environment to mine gold, haul it around the globe, have those gold shops, build storage for gold

Yes, it is not really predictable. There are certain food that is worse like pop-corn but we can not say that a certain group of foods trigger it.

The problem is not the joke, the problem is persistence of hate towards Bitcoin from people in the tech community. I guess tech-bros are non-likeable to most people as well.

Horrible and tasteless comment. HN crowd takes every opportunity to attack Bitcoin.

My teenager kid is having stomach pain, mostly after eating food. This has been going on for 3-4 years and we have seen 2 different doctors. They have done stool test, endoscopy and colonoscopy. However, everything is clean and they can not

I use it as well, but it does not have flexibility to setup times or time-limits for certain sites/apps for each user. I used to do that through my router (TP-link) but I had to get a new one (Netgear) which is asking for subscription

That is one of the reasons for Apple. Another one is to be able to sell their own cables to consumers at a premium price.

This is great. I hope other states adopt it as well. Personal planes that cause noise should be addressed as well. Why do thousands of residents need to be exposed to plane sound (personal, propelled ones) so that one person have fun time?

I don't think this actually happened.. or what happened was exaggerated. I read the book by the author (Free-range kids); it is a good book but these "self-help" books exaggerate things and love telling stories which are hard

Bitcoin was down 80% before from ATH and recovered stronger. Every time it drops, we do not need to start talking about it going to zero -- roll eyes

Generalizations are not generally valid. You are putting whole ecosystem into the same bucket. Yes, there are a lot of shitcoins.. But there is also Bitcoin.

Well, you are an outlier. Living in US for more than 20 years, I rarely see folks going back especially last couple of years. The ones I know who go back either have rich families or are politically connected. I understand that is might not

Other than leaving Turkey part, I am fascinated by Ahmet's background. He says he has graduated from semi-religious high school (IHL?) and did not attend university. The fact that he self-taught coding and English is amazing to me and

No, it is not justifying what he did. According to US law, he is clearly at fault. However, pointing out NK atrocities to have him morally wrong is not appropriate. With that logic, we should be also approving Iran or NK punishment of their

Thanks. I was wondering what is wrong with India (saw a bunch of social media posts by Indians). "Interest over principles" explains it.

Yep, close to 100,000 arrested, 500,000 investigated, 150,000 public servant dismissed, 319 journalists arrested in Turkey [1]. What is happening in Turkey is very different than Canada. [1] https://turkeypurge.com/home-page

Why downvote? Everything he said is true except that Erdogan staged the coup attempt. He probably know about it much earlier and did not intervene, but it is too much to claim he staged it. Regardless, lots of people had their assets seized
