Just to repeat your downvoted post, I guess we have a Maggot with mod points:

Sheinbaum earned a bachelor's degree in physics at UNAM in 1989, a master's degree in 1994, and a Ph.D. in energy engineering in 1995.

Contrast that to the USA.

Ask Stephen Miller. There are White Folk as far as his myopic eyes can see in America. The U.S. got rich and powerful because it welcomed (with hiccups) all races, nationalities, and creeds. Leave to the Maggots to turn that strength into something they hate.

"Why would this require an FAA investigation?" So the alleged administration can shake down Amazon for a "contribution" to fight "terrorist drones". The Fed. Gov. is being turned into a Mafia organization.

In contrast, the U.S. is cutting basic research simply because the alleged administration cannot see a trail of bread crumbs back to its pocket.

Consumers can be served better through regulation

There is a lot of plastic and such already.

MS still has their other businesses to rely upon. The C-Suite is up to their assholes in Office, their cloud crap is still still there, and now business is getting all hot and bothered by AI and MS is right there promising it....whatever business wants AI to be, MS says AI is.

Pedantic: Most theories posit that DM interacts weakly with the EM field.

But we do not yet know

(IIUC, there is a finite nonzero coupling constant between *any* two QM fields)

Only stupid people launder money with Bitcoin. SHUM!

OFC this actually exists: magic Bean Coin. It was an inflationary coin (holding coins generated more coins). I met one of the developers a few years ago. He was a really smart thoughtful principled guy. Just chose a really weird goal to throw himself into and not much formal economics education (but lots of "alternative economics"). I just checked first time in a decade, the 24 hour volume was like six bucks and the project webpage is gone

Of course the primary Gold Bug thesis is that Gold does in fact skyrocket up precisely when all other asset classes are discovered to be in a bubble

... and in Texas, you are getting it very hot in the summer and suddenly freezing cold in the winter and with insufficient electricity grid and rapidly diminishing water resources and increasing political strain with your biggest trading partner and a rising culture that is proudly pro-faith and anti-science

Jesus fuck you could not pay me to move there

Think about it for a few more seconds with your engineering hat on. The use case Bitcoin is designed for is peer-to-peer electronic cash. Internet money transfers, with no central authority.

That has two parts:

1. Internet money transfer
2. No central authority

Number 1 has been a solved problem for over a decade now. Between credit cards, ApplePay/Venmo/PayPal/CashApp/etc etc, cash transfer over the internet is virtually instantaneous and acceptably small cost.

Number 2 is of absolutely no interest to governments. They want a central payments authority, the ability to sanction, reverse, etc etc.

Crypto is an attempt to solve a usecase that governments do not have

Are you nuts? el Bunko is likely to glom onto an idea like that and make it cornerstone of his toy administration. You are not helping.

AI Slop, all of it. "A theocratic sunk cost trap"? I admit religions are a cost trap, but they are not connected to data centers.....unless.....could it be.....God just announced he'll be acquiring land for data centers to handle the rush of prayers from people asking for divine intervention for their troubles.
