space_rock··on Create a positive feedback loop to become motivated
I find once I remove addiction (YouTube, twitter) I will naturally get things done
space_rock··on Is crypto just one big Ponzi scheme?
Speculation isn't a poniz because you don't like the asset. Crypto is more accurately rife with fraud, wash trading, pump and dumps and so on
space_rock··on A day after he bought electric scooter, man killed in battery explosion
Newer electric vehicles are moving to LFP batteries which are very resistant to fire after shorting or puncture
space_rock··on Beanstalk cryptocurrency loses $182M of reserves in flash ‘attack’
I would say most shitcoin hacks are inside jobs. Skip the pump and dump and more to stealing from token holders
space_rock··on Vancouver proposes 10k-dollar annual fee for gas stations without EV charging
Any other highway locations would be better. Best thing about an EV is you fill up next to a restaurant or cafe. Never have to go to a gas station again
space_rock··on Sam Altman’s Worldcoin promised them free crypto for an eyeball scan
Exactly. It's a circular argument to say a law is good because it's a law. And no one has any idea of financial laws in each country

Saying that Sam Altman is a scammer

space_rock··on Using the “Z” symbol could lead to prosecution in two German states
Is this a surprise? What country would not investigate supporter of an enemy military in their boarders
space_rock··on Mercedes to accept legal responsibility for a vehicle when Drive Pilot is active
You missed the /s at the end
space_rock··on Mercedes to accept legal responsibility for a vehicle when Drive Pilot is active
100% this. They are so far behind and every move will be to use regulation against competition
space_rock··on Mercedes to accept legal responsibility for a vehicle when Drive Pilot is active
Statute of limitations did not apply. All crimes were scrubbed by Western govts and forgotten by Western media. Remember legacy auto pays for most ads during news broadcasts
space_rock··on If Google sucks then why is everyone still using it?
Same here. Traveling and when I search for postgres I don't want to find the local student project as the top result
space_rock··on If Google sucks then why is everyone still using it?
Sorry but duckduckgo or probably any other search is better than Google at this moment
space_rock··on How Putin’s Oligarchs Bought London
Because in Russia the KGB associated people took political and economic power. Hence ruled by few as is the definition. I'm assuming you believe Mark Zuckerberg has a iron grip on your country and will have you killed if you cross him?
space_rock··on Google open sources solar atmospheric water generator
That video is about the Boring Company. They are making tunnels not hyperloops
space_rock··on Google open sources solar atmospheric water generator
I never mentioned hyperloop. Again this is the level of reply I would expect of Thunderf00t. You can do better
space_rock··on Google open sources solar atmospheric water generator
"Veritasium: BUSTED!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hyy1zRZPiQ This is his area of expertise and is a great "busting" video

Trash: "Elon Musk Invents UNDERGROUND Traffic Jam!" "Tesla Bot" No debunking. Small mindedness, pessimistic rant. Just says Elon will fail but not clear how he knows he will fail

space_rock··on Google open sources solar atmospheric water generator
Thunderf00t is hit and miss. Some videos are scepticism, small mindedness, long pessimistic rant without substance and no debunking
space_rock··on 5 Charged with Stalking, Harassing, Spying on US Residents for PRC Secret Police
Sounds conspiratorial/not my experience doesn't mean not true. Humans are great at conspiracies. The word gets used dismissively because paranoid types claim conspiracy without evidence and experience. If you went to your local court you'd hear about many people witnessing conspiracies
space_rock··on Container loaded with discarded lithium batteries catches fire enroute to port
The blade battery is LoFePO4 and the video released show them only heating and smoking after being punched and short circuited

Well if you watch YouTube most nail puncher tests of LFP don't catch fire. There is one video were someone hammers two holes in the battery and it catches fire

space_rock··on Container loaded with discarded lithium batteries catches fire enroute to port
Believe it's the battery short and discharge that starts the heat and fire. And to prevent damaging the batteries they ship them 50% charged

Newer electric cars are LiFePo and don't catch fire and are less dangerous

space_rock··on Pockit: A tiny, powerful, modular computer [video]
Can we get internet of things devices with power of ethernet? Seems so much easier that WiFi, Bluetooth and a battery and usb for recharging
space_rock··on Just Say No to Central Bank Digital Currencies
CBDCs will be a tool of all totalitarian, predatory governments. That I'm sure of. They will also be popular with people after a fair socialist utopia with top down economic incentives. I'm skeptical it can lead anywhere good
space_rock··on Transforming cities with superblocks
Richer Asian cities often have good quality of life in the cities. Walkable and good transportation. It's true in many parts of China and all over developed Asia
space_rock··on Crude oil market opens at $125
Good time to be an EV owner
space_rock··on Crude oil market opens at $125
France has a high amount of nuclear power and is less dependent on Russian gas
space_rock··on Russians are trying to flee – data from Google Trends
Best outcome is Russians turn to Bitcoin and use it to starve the Russian government of tax income
space_rock··on Namecheap: Russia Service Termination
A private company is free to enforce their terms of service. You have no reason to imply their actions are uninformed by saying they are an "intern"
space_rock··on Bitcoin network’s carbon emission jumped 17% after China ban: Report
China was popular with bitcoin miners because of its hydro-power
