Define crypto as share trading, and tax it accordingly.

It's not a serious comment. If you look at the highest-rated comments in /. on this subject, they're more about dogmatic virtue-signaling than meaningful comments about technology, science, or even this fairly important issue to near space viability.

My observing this will immediately get this post downrated despite it being a factual observation because on slashdot now:

Post 1: Elon is a stupid poopyhead, +5 Insightful
Post 2: SpaceX has vastly decreased launch costs per kg (fact), Tesla more or less single-handedly made EVs commercially viable, both from their cars and their investment in chargers (fact), -1 troll

This isn't hard to look up: it's about 20% per grok.

Hebrew, wtf are you on?
0.07-0.08% of students speak Hebrew.

Dwarfed by Spanish (75% of ELs)
Arabic 2-2.5%
Chnese 2%
Vietnamese, Portuguese, Russian, Haitian Creole, Hmong, Urdu all also are higher than Hebrew

Elon has personally shit on the "commons" of LEO orbit, it's hypocritical if you are bothered by someone else trashing his already-placed trash satellites.

This is very important. There's a light-year of difference among a typical scholarly article, a physics paper, a math paper, or some kind of incomprehensible humanities bafflegab that no sane person could comprehend. The former, if it's not too technical, should be readable to the average undergrad. The second and third might not be because there are so many specialized concepts and so much specialized language. The latter (and I'm not indicting everything coming out of the humanities, but a lot of it) is incomprehensible because it literally doesn't make sense.

They'd run it again today anyway.

you miss out on the true meaning of Christmas.

News would be if he did something that *wasn't* fraudulent.

Nice try.
How many American students speak ANY second language?
Hell, how many can speak fundamental English ?

I rather suspect Chicago - where there are many WHOLE schools where NOBODY is reading, writing, or arithmatic'ing at grade level - probably has students who can't speak (nor especially read) english as well as those Japanese students.

Any idea why?

My kid teaches at a rural unified school district. 75% of the kids have whatever the "action" plan folder is called- Jimmy gets scared near windows; Janie can't sit near the door; Mary has trouble concentrating so needs extra time; etc.
About 10-20% of kids in every class have paras, essentially shit-paid workers that shadow billy because he likes to stab other kids when there are scissors.

I'm not kidding about that last; there was one kid who just liked stabing things. With pencils, with scissors, anything with an edge or point, he'd use to stab. Chairs, cushions, other kids. His last para quit because she took her attention off him for a second and he *almost* got her in the eyeball (nasty scar on her cheek tho). So without a para to mind him, the school in desperation made her seat him next to his best friend, the only kid in his class he hasn't tried to stab - I believe the "friends" parents might have objected...had anyone told them.

Are you kidding?
The Bakken Shale produces nearly the lightest sweetest crude there is.

You have it backward - US refineries are built to process shitty Venezuelan and Canadian crude, while ours needs nearly no processing at all.

So you're asserting that the US can't get its oil domestically?

There's no doubt some infringement going on, it's probably legally actionable. I played PA and liked it very much, but ended up at Turtle Wow because it was a little less financially aggressive and just did a better job with the parts I enjoyed.

That said, I'm reasonably sure PA doesn't distribute the 1.12 wow client themselves, so that assertion by Blizzard is narrowly mistaken.

So mmos never would have existed?
