I would send the minimum amount between wallets as rapidly as possible until the transaction fees eliminated it. If I can't destroy it in 1 min then it's a worthless currency and deserves a dos with meaningless transactions.

Two modems ago I got a device from my ISP that wouldn't allow it to have the WiFi turned off. I could turn the power on the antenna way down and mess with a bunch of settings, but it would not allow me to turn off 2 wifi networks. They were set to be configured remotely too so the ISP could change the password and ssid on those 2 networks at will.

Treelines don't move north they move up, and they're not moving. They're at the same spot on the mountains they've been for quite some time.

There is plenty of data to suggest that there is either difference between male and female brains, or that there is a lot of sexism against boys. If they are functionally the same then boys are greatly underperforming on reading and writing. However, studies like this are only used to justify doing something to improve girls and do nothing for boys. Pick your poison.

Interesting claim but show the line of dead apple orchards from climate change. I find this kind of nonsense claim funny. You make a claim that sounds sensible and easily provable but no one ever decides to check. Treelines on mountains haven't been changing, and your dead line of apple trees is make-believe as well.

Looked at their data. There is no pattern, or even correlation to pollution or to CO2. They did a lot of funny math to make it look like it does but it's remarkably constant and not variable. Take the Alaska data from 41586_2021_3436_MOESM4_ESM.xlsx for their first figure. You can take the area to get the percentage change each year and you get about 0.489% which very minimal variation after 4 decimals and only 8 unique values when there should be 19 or 20 if you want to include the first year which would be 0% or undefined since the prior year for the first year doesn't exist.

The lack of unique values is concerning but may just be a result of the limit of their measures and rounding. However, constant melting would contradict our CO2 emissions and give anyone reason to ether toss out the study because all those values should be unique, or toss out global warming because it should correlate to the CO2 emissions and not be Constant.

AI would need to have a clear legal definition. At this point, AI is as good of a term as calling your food All Natural.

A couple of factors influence that view. Since a lot of serial killers are found a decade or more after the fact it's always going to look like serial killers are more prominent in the past. It's not always clear that murders are actually serial killers until they're caught. News has also changed, they try not to sensationalize these things too much because when they do they can create a lot more copy cats. Remember that BTK killer did his crimes in the 70s and 80s but was caught in the 2000's

Would you rather an extra April Fools Day instead?

By putting all exchange servers into one cloud as MS pushes it makes it so there is a single target. Once it's compromised everyone using that system has to assume they were hit along with everyone else. It's the equivalent of putting all your eggs in one basket.

If you were correct then Steam's reviews of the game wouldn't be mostly positive. Truth is that this launch is a repeat of Skyrim. Worked well on most systems, but on the PS3 it should have been delayed or canceled. I've played for about 60 hours with my wife watching. We both agree that there have been very few game-breaking bugs. Almost Zero. There was one where the autosave clipped me through the floor when it loaded. A minor bug with a quest that wasn't designed for me to stealth kill everyone. Had to look up that one and loading the game before the fight is an easy fix. For 60 hours that's not really a lot of bugs. You might consider the idiots double-parked holding up traffic to be bugs but that's the reality of city traffic. The AI doing left-hand turns and getting into a crash is a bug as well but it's not game-breaking, and I don't play the game as a driving simulator.

Training on slashdot posts would only result in unlearning.

The people who thought the Start Button wasn't being used enough.

A OTP is really the only perfect encryption. I can leak a fake pad and make it seem like the message was a completely different message, and you're not breaking it unless I reuse the pad, or you find the pad. The problem is it's cumbersome and if your going into China with a USB drive of a pad of random numbers they have the pad and they have you. We'll see, maybe this is better than a one time pad, but I have my doubts.

Comparing a disease to a War is a false analogy. A proper analogy would compare diseases to other diseases. This isn't a Spanish Flu which I'd put at 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. It's defiantly not a Black Death which would be a 10. It's not a common cold or modern flu which is a 1. It's more of a 3 because it kills primarily the elderly, but it doesn't kill young kids which makes it not as bad as most lung diseases. For contrast, the Spanish Flu killed mostly Young Adults which means the deaths did long-term damage. Covid is bad enough that we need to do something about it, but not so bad that it's impossible to handle. Covid won't kill the 50 million Spanish Flu did, and that is a better comparison than WWI that was happening at the same time.
