They simply don't understand. You can't have privacy and carry a cell phone. It's a small satellite designed orbit you and extract and broadcast as much information as possible. Cost a trillion dollars in r&d if not more.

That not correct. Abundant commodities are valued at the average price a person in the group is willing to pay. This "gemstone" is actually beryl, a very common crystal. What they're trying to do is take this commodity minera

Utilitarian ideology aside, that rock isn't worth 190k, or 80k or even 1k. It's not that pretty. I'd have a hard time parting with $50 unless I thought I could sell it to someone else tomorrow for more - and there lies the ru

Gee, why not Starlink? Come to think of it there was suspicion Ukraine was responsible for the Nord Stream attacks via underwater drone. At the time they blamed Russia and warned Russia would attack the undersea cables. https://w

Looks like the type of cheap cut glass you put on a doorhandle. The whole spiel of what an art it is to prepare and how very rare and delicate it is, that's just a scam to get others to overvalue a piece of rock. It also has no utility

So get a 3D printer, a SBC devkit, altium license and subscribe to some online courses and go build it. No excuse today. I think you want it enough to write a blog post, but that doesn't cut it. Is the idea everything? I don't thi

Why do we teach children chess? They wasted years of my time at school with the false belief that the intelligence built was transferrable to other domains. Not true for chess, for learning another language or playing a musical instrument.

I wouldn't trust an overclocked system as a server or to compile. Especially not long term w degradation. Can't use it for CAD bc it'll mess up the PCIe timings I think. Looks like a giant waste of time and money to me, but s
