If we had no sun at all, I'm pretty sure we'd be an ice ball, save for volcanic activity. These impacts from solar activity take some time to develop, as I understand it. If we are…

It's gaslighting them. They have no feedback that the world is ignoring them. The crank on the public street corner saying the world is gonna end soon gets feedback when people wal…

Just don't smile for the cameras.

Well it's multipurpose. One roll can ship many different things. Otherwise you need an inventory of various sized boxes. I'm guessing it will find an instant niche.

http://www.berkshares.org/ It's been around for a long time.

You're arguing for a demurrage currency, not a fiat, debt- leveraged fractional reserve one.

At this point, it's a feature to have things denominated in $. I'm likely going to buy a Purism laptop with bitcoin, but of course denominated in $. I spent a couple hundred on BTC…

A custom router can do this for all devices on your network. That is what I use.

This article is laughable. Knocking the developers by saying Myers and Briggs had no training is akin to knocking the first powered flight by saying Orville and Wilbur Wright had n…

Eh, well, the declination theory is probably nothing. There is apparently another map blessed by him w/o declination and land ownership. https://dalneitzel.com/wp-content/uploads/2…

The map is unusual. It's rare to show magnetic declination lines - I suspect there might be a clue there. Land ownership is seemingly a clue too. Nobody who grew up in the west wou…

Right, it is a pretty fair offer, but it's not SF real estate generous. That would work out to $16 billion or so.

Hardly. https://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/federalism-and-libertar...

This kind of volatility is nothing new for Bitcoin. This kind of volatility in an asset with that market cap is fairly rare.

I find having one piece of low-power hardware that is always on a handy tool. A homeserver+router, basically. I can decloud a lot of things. Having a beefier piece of hardware make…

Why would Amazon care? I think I've went to Amazon over Tor and had no problem. I never tried to log in, but they let me browse just fine.

As another poster said, go with a mini-pc like Qotom. Uses little power, configure however you want (memory, SSD). Most web pages load instantly, and it handles a massive blocklist…

You can mitigate the speed issue by adding your own DNS local caches and then start blocking ads, trackers and malware sites and whomever you want (FB is added to the spyware list)…

It's well known, not the poster's personal claim: https://boingboing.net/2017/11/08/involuntary-profiling.html FB goes so far as to buy your data from others, which is why I block …

I think the designer's own words are a better summary of the problem solved: http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/11/ The magical thing is that you can actually…

"Hey, major waste company, how about you partner with Facebook and let us sift through people's trash using AI robots before it goes in the landfill? It's for....uhhh, science...ye…

I am far too lazy to tag every file and I would despise such a system if forced into it. Some files I want to keep realizing I may never need them again. Tagging is a time waste. I…

Merchant fee - cash back = net cost to consumer

It seems like the collective pack of Teslas would feed telemetry back to the mothership as unit tests for any new versions. In other words, any change has to redrive (simulate) a b…
