You're spending time posting on it.*
*Note, that doesn't increase its value for me.
Reading the summary I assumed "Copilot key" was a license key or something. That's dumb. This is dumber.
No, its a US law that prohibits collecting the information of children under 13 without their parents' consent. However, you just have to have a checkbox asking the user to confirm they are over 13.
Nostalgia is big business.
It's older than that. Federation worked great for e-mail and the web, because there wasn't much choice. It didn't really work at all for instant messaging, even when a plucky open protocol was made explicitly to support it. And the social media came along and killed the personal web with a non-federated model.
But it's totally going to be different this time.
No no, Bishop Berkeley says social media has no value. That is a pronouncement from on high. You know how reliable those are. Now repent, sinner.
Modern Boeing planes, excepting the MAX, have similar same safety records to other planes. The MAX has a poor safety record because it's a new plane with a small number of flights combined with a terrible engineering screwup.
Engineering is based on numbers, not legends and stories. Fixing engineering problems relies on numbers and procedures, not more stories, wishful thinking, and slavish devotion to favoured narratives that aren't supported by the evidence.
The intention of the original bitcoin design was that the miners would transition from minting new coins to earning their money from transaction fees. Bitcoin was also envisioned as an actual currency, routinely used to pay for things though.
It's unlikely all the miners would agree, so bitcoin would fork (again). One fork would dispense with the cap and I think that would probably crash its value.
Since the number of transactions is likely to go down with increased transaction fees, the number of miners in the other, capped fork would probably decrease, and the hash difficulty would decrease, until transaction number, price, and miner expenditure reach a supply vs. demand equilibrium. That would seriously compromise the security of that fork, which would probably also crash its value.
The article is about a study that observed clouds start disappearing when solar insolation is reduced by 15%. It's in the summary.
Sure, and people who make art, hand craft things that are clearly more efficiently mass produced, engage in other artisanal activities, or are otherwise self-employed are not doing anything productive, have meaningless lives and have been abandoned by "the reality that has shaped humanity." Also, children and retired people.
They're probably going to hell too, the papists.
It's an interesting feeling knowing that if you sneeze, a dozen scared cops are probably going to blow you away. I wouldn't recommend it.
They could trash my house for a few million if I wasn't home though.
There are probably some "insurance companies" in Somalia that specialize in that sort of thing. Movies have also told me that Italian gentlemen run organizations that offer such services in certain parts of New York.
You mean the network that profits from mining coins will have to vote to make it possible to continue mining coins?
Two choices:
1) transaction fees.
2) most of the miners will stop, and an interested party will dominate the pool and do whatever they like.
This is the problem with tying the security of your system to the amount of electricity used. It's either expensive or insecure.
The major difference between bonds and bond traders is that the bonds will eventually mature.
