> Do remember that, theoretically, Uber/Lyft types aren't doing this full time, but more a matter of "I'm heading out to Walmart, anyone want to come along?".
Theoretically yes, in reality that's about as far from the truth as you can get for Uber drivers.
> In the whole history of people being psychologically manipulated and abused, they *all* could have stopped it simply by saying no, and walking away.
Yes, maybe in the real world, face to face interaction where you can't click block and they're gone.
I read the article. I'm just claiming bullshit on the argument that somehow this physics professor is such a master psychological manipulator that he coerced dozens of women halfway across the world to send him nudes over the internet for no good reason.
If you're *that* emotionally troubled with abandonment issues that you're sending a guy over the internet that has no leverage over you nudes, I dont see how you can deal with offline interactions period.
And they could have stopped it immediately by blocking him on FB and/or just stopped the course they paid a whole $0 for.
But how exactly did he force them to do what they did *Over the internet*
The fartcans?
That's what I said.
Because humans, for the most part, are pretty stupid and fail to grasp that just because there's an uneven number of something, doesn't make it not normal or perfectly fine.
> If there isn't enough mining going on to produce the mining rewards that should be awarded daily, the difficulty will quarter every two weeks until the rewards are enough to incentivize miners to continue doing so.
The difficulty only gets changed after the number of blocks since the last adjustment have been met. If less people mine, blocks take longer, blocks take longer, adjustment takes longer. So if people keep dropping out, it'll be a lot more than two weeks for the next adjustment.
Because we want to data mine all your work correspondence as well.
I dont see why equipment should matter, they could just do the MITM wherever they downlink to rather than in-aircraft.
Intel has been doing their own fab for a while. While AMD (well GlobalFoundries) does their CPUs, they dont do their GPUs.
