'genuine(ly)' and 'honest(ly)' too.

In the future, we could use some sort of traffic management system, were cars which conform to a standard are able to 'link-up' and move as one unit like a train, it would relieve alot of the stop and go and improve flow on congested roads, possibly with denser traffic. I'd bet alot of daily commuters woild subscribe to something like that.

ITER achieves net positive energy for 20 consecutive minutes (nature.com) 1205 points by physics_lover 12 hours ago | hide | 402

-Sustained fusion still only 10 years away!

I've had magnetic drives with excellent data integrity that spent the last 20 years un touched in self storage units.

I have read CD-RWs of approximately the same age with no data loss.

SSDs sacrifice durability of data for io speed

I try to tell my 'past' self events that have occurred.

I also try to listen to any future 'self' notifications.

It's mostly a fun thought experiment.

It does especially when learning from the article, with Argentina's average income, earning an extra device is no small feat:

"An iPhone is not cheap in general, and in Argentina less so. The current price for an iPhone 13 is ca. 400.000 ARS, which roughly translates to 2200 USD or 1300 USD at the unofficial rate (it's complicated). With an average monthly salary of 427 USD (according to Numbeo) you can see that getting a new iPhone is not a choice to take lightly."

What better answer than drawing butts of course, to all of those students who are wondering where they would ever use sin/cos/tan in a real world application.

The energy app is pretty good, it fits pretty well with my double policy but I don't look at it anymore, since it requires diverting my attention moreso than glancing ant the estimate, and additional tapping to bring it up.

As a rule of thumb I halve the EPA estimate in winter and 2/3-3/4 it in summer.

I have had no range issues doing this for the 130000km + I have owned the vehicle.

Edit: If I'm going to tap, I check the Wh/km, as that is what I'm used to. It was better before they removed it from the swipe, but hey, we gotta fill those sprints somehow.

It may be better, but I generally look at my current Wh/km usage for an estimate of my remaining range.

Average over 130000km (3y) is 191Wh/km

Winter can be as bad as 330Wh/km (-30C 110km/h)

Summer can be good, but I've never seen a 100km trip better than 145Wh/km.

Generally the lower the remaining range, the better the EPA range (estimate) is.

I make sure the displayed range on the M3 is double for the distance I want to travel.

Winter tires, snow and ice sticking to the car, and -15C are quite normal occurrences here, and range display is pretty consistently half of what to expect.

I don't. I pay the counterparty directly with lightning for under 200 fiat equivalent, or on chain for larger purchases.

The point is, I never need to buy fiat (what you call withdrawing)

You're going to have to get used to people ignoring you and working around you then.

I don't want to help you understand bitcoin, because I don't want insufferable obstructionists having a say in humanity's future.

What you value is cleary different than what I value and that's fine, but there is nothing you can do to stop me from using my preferred value store, and that is exactly the point.

Great thing about bitcoin is you don't have to use it at all. It is opt in.

I don't tell you what to do with things you buy that I think are useless.

Those who purchase or generate electricity can do so with it as they wish, it is a free market.

You can post all of the articles you want, the innovaters are outpacing the obstructionists as they have been for millennia, it's nothing new under the sun, and progress marches on.

Bitcoin is great for the climate.

It currently uses .1% of global energy, instead of all the worlds energy as predicted in 2017. It makes use of stranded energy, off peak energy stabilizing grid production, incentivizes green energy build outs, and with the landfill methane caputure business will soon be the only digital asset that is carbon negative.

What have you heard? That it is a climate disaster and you should stay away?

Shouldn't there be a popup to subscribe to a newsletter before scrolling 10% of the content?

7 also resolves to Sunday, but doesn't take away from the fact that the first index [0] is Sunday.

Sunday is the first day of the week in crontab.

First index in the array, 0.

You the laborer have the capacity to decide where the value of your labor should be kept.

Whether some think it's leaky, or that it is a melting ice cube or ultrasound money is irrelevant. Despite or with support from opinions of others, it is ultimately you who makes the decision where to store your value.

Only time can say if you've made a good decision, as not one person can predict the future, and likewise you must suffer or enjoy the consequences of your decision.

So did Netflix and Amazon Prime.

I don't have time to thoroughly research the topic and come back to you, so maybe you can do some leg work.

But I do know people over estimate what can be accomplished in a year and underestimate what can be accomplished in 10.

I may only buy when Fidelity and Blackrock say it is safe for retail, if at all.

Until then, I will let institutions take the risk and I will stick with my index fund.

Lightning is popular because few prefer slow transactions.

El Salvador primarily uses lightning network, same network Strike uses for instant cross border payments.

Yes. In a fairly large public company I worked at, I remember a DBA on contract got fired because he knew absolutely nothing.

But only a few weeks later he was back, in the same building, but using a different name on a different floor working as a Senior Software Architect.

He got caught because someone in the DB department recognized him, called him by his old name and they pretended they never new him.

Search function on the web shows 99.9%

HTTP represents any documents as ... drum roll ... text.

It is literally in the name of the specification.

If it were meant to be a document transfer protocol, HDTP would have been a better acronym.

90% of coins are mined already in circulation.

I do not need to buy cash since I buy what I can with lightning, which is in no way impractical for me.

Why is it still in use in China then? How are nodes and miners still operating there.

You give evil too much credit.

Since it is public, what is my address?

Tell me the last 5 lightning transactions I made.

I'm not reporting shit. They will have to physically track me down.

Even then they cannot seize it, and a transaction script is already in place to send to a trusted address if no spend within a certain time.

I don't give a fuck about living lavishly. I will be living free or dead.

I'd rather die and be tourtured for using bitcoin than suffer under someone else's dystopian wet dream.
