"A study by the Natural Resources Defense Council found that the energy use from Always On devices across the US accounts for 23% of power consumption in the average household, or a quarter of any given electricity bill. Our own resear

Outlawed? I don't think that will be possible. Bitcoin is part of the US financial system already!

They can't. GBTC trades over-the-counter, not on a major exchange.

That's a disingenuous argument. Just because you won't accept your salary in Euros, doesn't mean you don't have faith in the future of it.

What do you think about computers that are always on 24/7? Or TVs that never turn off (even if the screen is off)? (ETA: 23% of household energy use is by always-on devices. The scale of this waste is MASSIVE.) Devices in our life cons

They didn't require "her phone" until after she was already working for them. They didn't hire two things "as a package".

Can Azure offer an OpenSearch service? Probably. So the idea is you can move from AWS to Azure if you wanted to with open source services underneath.

I worked at a company in 1994 that had 10,000 licenses to Netscape Navigator. I had a support person I could call. So on some scale, there was definitely a way to send them money.

Clearly we're living in a difficult time, and the media is looking out for stories that "humanize" the difficulty. Inequality is a one of the challenges of our time. But the problem is, the actual data is a bit mixed. One stu

It's more interesting to me that people want this to be true, and it fits a narrative. There's no way this is true. It fails the sniff test on the face of it.

In fact, the Google Search team has made changes to their algorithm over the years SPECIFICALLY to reduce crowdsourced answers sites from appearing in search results. It's a conscious decision.

They absolutely did sell their browser to enterprises. It was only free for personal use.

Hmm, I worked at a large company in 1995 as a web dev, and they were paying a license fee "per copy" of Netscape Navigator. I distinctly remember this, because we had 10,000 licenses. But we did get phone support with that, and I

To be 100% honest, Schiff is 50% trolling. He loves the attention, and being the loudest Bitcoin bear is getting him lots of attention. He does and says things just to get attention. When someone like Elon Musk or Chamath gives him any ounc

I am not a lawyer, but I doubt refunding your fraud victim after the fact gets you off the hook for fraud. If the victim or the police wanted to pursue that.

I don't think they "con" people. I bought the Dyson. I like it. I'm not looking to clean my air that much because I don't have problems with air quality. It's a misleading news program. CADR is not the biggest

I own this Dyson, and like it. It has a remote. Works from an app on my phone. It has a heater and a fan. It monitors the air quality which is usually fine. The "filter" is the least interesting part to me.

Presumably they are paying for the servers/bandwidth to support that, and that money is coming from donors. It's a waste of donors money if someone is using this image as some kind of "is this thing on" test using hacked

To be clear, they didn't "announce" they closed their positions. They whispered it to a CNBC news anchor on the phone. There's no announcement, just a sourced rumor, and no proof they closed their trades when they said t

Parler is an app many of the American Conservatives go to now that their speech is restricted on Facebook and Twitter. But Apple (and Google) don't like how Parler was used to organize the protests/riots at The Capitol.

A lot of car fatalities are accidents that don't involve alcohol - around 70%. One time I lost control of my car while driving on the highway and hitting a patch of black ice. Luckily, nobody died. But that happens all the time. Presum

IMO. No serious investor will give money to a company where someone who owns 40% of the equity is no longer involved and/or left on bad terms. Having him around but not active is going to limit how the business raises money in the futu

100% agree. Make a thing, and charge a reasonable amount for it. And if someone wants to make the same category of product free and open source, that's cool too. Live and let live.
