They actually want to put a server in your water tank.
It looks like they are going to put a big external heat sink on the server and bond that to the outside of your tank. That kind of makes sense but the economics of it, not so much.
How to con crypto enthusiasts out of 4 billion dollars : Offer them some pointless digital token and they'll give you their life savings. Rinse, repeat.
The crazy thing about OneCoin is that they didn't even bother making worthless tokens (because that would involve hiring someone who actually understood something about blockchains).
Concrete proof of an activity that likely illegal will be hard to find. There are real studies on it though:
I hate it when science mysteries are solved.
Not much of a mystery: our calculation don't work out, so either there is an entirely new particle, or our figures are wrong. No prozes for gussing which.
Null results are useful but I can't get excited about them.
In other news: charge of the neutron stll zero.
Missing mass discovered down the back of the sofa.
2005 was a long time ago but he didn't finally win his case until 2019.
I certainly don't find the fake outrage for getting lawyers and bankers involved over more than hundred million dollars very convincing. You can't expect to deal with sums like that and not expect people to play hardball.
To be fair, we have found that an imbalance of neurotransmitters is the cause of depression.
Recent research has rejected that theory. Time will tell whether it's a landmark paper in the field or not. I'm not qualified to judge more than it's a serious paper.
Elon will be offering to send a submarine real soon now.
Second is that proof of work, in a currency with a finite amount of coins, ties energy efficiency to money and monetises more efficient (renewable and waste) energy sources
This is like arguing that you are going to continue banging your head against the wall, so what is required are softer walls.
"Cash and other safe financial instruments easily convertible into dollars make up the vast majority of the assets Tether lists in quarterly financial reports"
There's no guarantee these financial reports aren't completely fabricated.
Even if it is true, you can bet the other 'safe financial instruments' are other shitcoins and not treasury bonds or the like.
Conservatives made a lot of gains in the last election in Northern industrial areas because the Britexers were able to channel a lot of working class disatisfaction at the status quo. Levelling up is about trying to not get wiped out at the next election by putting money in traditional Labour areas without scaring their established base too much.
London fog was pretty serious before the Clean Air Act of 1956. In 1952's Great Smog there were "1,000 tonnes of smoke particles, 140 tonnes of hydrochloric acid, 14 tonnes of fluorine compounds and 370 tonnes of sulphur dioxide" emitted every day by coal burning, etc., which made the fog pretty lethal.
It's a bit of an old trope now, as you say. I lived in London for a fair part of my life but only seen a really thick fog a few times.

And, once again, what you are describing is a constant, not a variable. You don't seem to understand the meaning of the word "variable" or why they exist.
Fortunately you're posting as AC, because you're just making yourself look ignorant. Yes, getting your head around FP is hard because it's rooted in mathematical principles that are alien to most programmers. You have to get beyond 'I do not understand this, so it must be wrong' though.
Hans Reiser could "plausibly deny" committing murder, except he had acquired reading material about how to commit a murder. That was enough to pressure him to enter a deal.
Not really. Reiser's problem was that, as a massive narcissist, he took the stand and went with the "you cannot convict me because even if I did it I am smarter than you" defence. He came across as an arrogant liar, so the jury convicted. We don't know what would have happened if he had the sense to STFU and let his attorney argue that all the evidence was circumstantial: the books weren't the only evidence the prosecution had.
He took a plea after conviction in exchange for showing where the body was buried.
What gets me is how anyone could think that than pandemic had ushered in a new era of peace and prosperity, rather than just being a bubble for online stuff because everything else was shot to hell.
Zuckerberg is so deep in the metaverse, he can't tell he needs to pull his head out his ass and look around at the real world sometime.
After a number of decimal places, nobody gives a damn.
