Hey, don't dunk on Bitcoin as a currency. Its given the world so many benefits: The teenager in the article cost the equivalent of $500,000.
But thanks to Bitcoin, at todays market rates you can buy several teenagers for half a million dollars now, and get free shipping. That is progress, right?

True, but the writing on those tablets isn't measured in microns, or packed into densities measured in GB/cm2
The limiting factor in both durability and age stability are still any electronic controllers and physical hardware to read and process that data into a human readable form

How do you dump heat when you are in a vacuum?
A soup thermos is a vacuum bottle for a reason.
Cooling in space is HARD

Where does the heat go?
Only someone who knows exactly -zero- about space would think thermal management in space is easy. Or that much heat is even possible to get rid of.

35 years of Saturns seem to have had none of those problems. Nor decades of minivans with composite lower body panels.
  Other problems, oh yes. Body problems, not so much

Go outside and look in any decent sized parking lot. By definition any Saturn you see there is at least 15 years old.
You know, the type of cars Slate is modeling their body panels after?
I live in a college town, so I consistently see kids in 25 year old Saturns looking no worse for wear.
Bodies failing is simply not what is sending those old cars to the crusher

This is an urban/suburban utility wagon. Its use case is not long range travel.
My wife puts maybe 40 miles a day on her EV, plugs in at night, its full the next day. That's its job, it suits the majority of commuters needs.
If you use something for cross country travel, simply use a different vehicle.
-
My parents have an EV even though they do sometimes road trip.
In 3 years they have rented a car twice to go cross country, and a truck to move things once, at a cost savings of thousands over insuring and maintaining a fueled vehicle for their few worst-case exception uses, not their average use of a hundred local miles per week.

You mean in the days before disc brakes, radial tires, safety glass, collapsible steering columns, crumple zones, standard height bumpers, energy absorbing bumpers, three point belts, auto retracting belts, and about a dozen more safety features they didn't mandate until the mid-70s or later?
Also most of the highways were still not divided, the Interstate wasn't fully finished yet most places. Don't forget airbags and ABS and everything else that is mandatory now.
-
So yes, chicken little, I suppose all those were completely irrelevant to safety. One could posit that all those 1970's traffic deaths were all down to not having AWD.
If one were an idiot.
-
So perhaps we will see streets awash in blood because someone sells a vehicle without AWD, of a type that objectively does not really benefit from AWD. Or not.

Many generations of people learned to drive vehicles safely without ABS/Traction Control/AWD/Lane Change Assist/etc. Many countries still do.
One option would be to pass on a vehicle that doesn't babysit you.
The other would be to take off the training wheels, go to driving school, and learn to drive like the rest of the world does.

Historically, if 4chan had an outage for any length of time, the rest of the internet would suffer what was released upon it.
Reasonable forums would be overrun with trolling and shitposting.
No idea if that still holds true, or if 4chan is even still relevant. But it used to do the job of holding in all the excrement and keeping it away from the rest of us.
I am betting that they still don't just stop posting just because 4chan is down. Reddit mods are probably having a very bad day

That's a feature, not a bug.
Like K9 drug dogs that have been trained to "detect drugs" whenever their handler signals them to, the point is not detection but plausible deniability for the human.
Of course this AI will precisely reflect the unfair biases of police officers, that is likely the entire point.
Now when officers racially profile and generally act the same bigoted way they always have, they have a defense against ever being accused of such because "the program picked out the suspects, I was just doing what I was told by the computer"

Long answer: Hell Yes
Doesn't even have to be a dumb phone. I just keep no contacts in my smartphone, as it forces me to dial phone numbers which means that I remember them.
Also to write things down. Not that paper is inherently superior, just that the act of writing is proven to cause the brain to retain data that simply looking at does not.
Humans still have the ability to recall data, we just have to use that ability regularly.

Yes, but not because he actually dispelled any of the evidence that he cheated, but simply as part of a settlement to agree to end a years long series of lawsuits that was bankrupting them.

  The guy really is by all accounts still a cheater, a douchebag, and a very motivated vexatious litigator.

Absolutely.
Musk's purchase was heavily leveraged against Tesla stock, which is falling in value.
Dude was one margin call away from losing -everything-, and that margin call was very near.
Saving himself by redirecting the xAI investors money to cover his debts instead of, well, developing xAI is a bad look, and almost assuredly violated an assload of laws> But since we are in a post-law society, that part really doesn't matter. On to the next grift.

Next time just ask them to TRY to land one on its side. That should fix the problem.
