Didn't Colossus demand that Dr Forbin be placed under video surveillance as well?

Actually, getting the CO2 out of the atmosphere is easy. Just grow stuff faster than you dump it in. The Keeling Curve slope goes negative every year due to uptake by vegitation.

Problem: To grow stuff, you need more than just the CO2. Plant growth will hit a limit when any one of the necessary nutrients is consumed Right now, we need to introduce more fixed nitrogen (NOx) into the cycle.

.. when making presentations to management:

• No more that three bullet points per slide.
• No more than three slides.
• Treat them like three-year-olds.

You just have to keep upping the dosage to get an effect.

How many tons of CO2 were produced by AI answering your questions?

Google "Dark pools". Currently they account for slightly over half of all US transaction volume. Yes, they're still regulated; no, we do not have visibility inside them.

We can then make up a song about them.

Efficiency of an electrical inverter: 90%

Efficiency of a gasoline generator: 20%

A gasoline generator might work as an emergency backup, but would not be economical for daily load leveling.

TFS says the inverter's extra hardware costs $650.

A 10kw gasoline generator would cost at least as much.

Wait! What?

My phone boots just fine. And I have no network here (unless I want to stand in that "special spot" in my front yard to get a weak 5G bar).

I can already, completely above-board, sell someone a block of DRS'd IBM shares for crypto if I want to. Let's all be clear this isn't about denominating stocks in Bitcoin.

Rather, this is effectively about recording stock transactions on a blockchain. Nothing more and nothing less than swapping a distributed transaction log for a traditional ledger.

The implication is clear, the SEC is at least considering the idea of creating shares as a token cryptocurrency. In this case, the tokens are backed by real shares. That's not a technical requirement, though, and a future company might someday skip the major exchanges entirely to list only as a token. To be clear, there's nothing sacred about the exchanges and their "house rules"; there's nothing inherently wrong with using a blockchain vs a ledger; and to reiterate, this has nothing to do with "buying stocks with Bitcoin".

On that last point, I consider OKXICE's decision to accept payment in some nondescript "stablecoins" as extremely unfortunate. Not because I'm a cryptophobe, but because it muddies the waters as to the viability of the core concept of tokenized equity itself - Though that's a bit of a tautology, given stocks are already "tokenized equity". Whether we denominate them in USD or BTC or cowrie shells is an entirely separate issue.

Distortion was invented (discovered) by a touring blues bass guitarist who knocked an output tube loose. One half of a push-pull amp stage.

Didn't see an y support for this in the linked report.

A valid point. But it works to make the cost per officer higher. Reducing the number a given budget will support. The current emphasis is now on "more cops". I'm not certain this is the right way to go, given the population density of the USA (lower) compared to that of European countries. "A cop on every corner" when corners might be miles apart just won't cut it here. So John Q. Public will have to take responsibility for his own defense. Same holds true of "no go" neighborhoods in urban areas here. Smart cops is what we need. But part of "smart" includes technology. Like Flock.

Now, if he had any smarts, he'd let it be known that a "failure to deliver decrypted files" would be met by the same Mossad group that knocked on Gerald Bull's door. Forget about repairing file systems. This is a well demonstrated skill set.

From TFS:

Sounds like Pinhasi was just playing negotiator between the ransomers and the victim. And may not have had a data recovery capability himself. So the end result would have been the same: No data recovered. Ransomers take the (smaller) money and run. Does Pinhasi warrant his service? Get your data or your money back?

There ARE legit services that will negotiate with ransomers. But the ransomers don't like working through them. To the point that they will do checks on people who present themselves as IT from the victim company. But are in fact professional negotiators.
