Seems dangerous for the birds. Maybe attack drones that can shoot string - since practically every drone uses rotors.

They might get nailed in the US but I don’t think Malaysia is going to see any of that 7.5B they are asking for.

GS already has a rotten reputation. I don’t think they care. As for the executives, they will probably hide behind limited liability. Getting the US to hand them over will not be e…

Citation needed. A decade in prison is twice 5 years. That’s a lot of time to waste. Edit: Guess downvotes are abused here too ... Edit2: Would be interesting to see how low this p…

They are prosecuting the company though, not the staff. If GS refuses to pay, the best they can do is ban them from the country. What else can they do, seriously?

Why would you not believe that? Changing phones isn’t a big deal when upgrading. Guess the iPhone X’s full screen design was a hit - seen quite a few people on the train here with …

I take it GS will just walk away. It might not be worth to pay that much to operate in Malaysia. Not to mention, people could just start a separate company if they absolutely need …

Just 5 years? I suppose it’s good from a rehabilitation perspective but it’s kind of weak as a deterrent - where 10 years might be more appropriate.

It works until the gravy train stops then you have a problem. Democracy has many problems but it’s fairly robust vs discontent. Got a problem? Try to vote out the people you believ…

> For a long time I sort of assumed that the advantages of living in a democracy are sort of self evident (provided you live there), I apparently was wrong. If you are a cynic, the…

I only use it to spell words I don’t know the spelling of. :p I speak with an accent so it was always hit and miss for me - although it had gotten better in recent years. I’m also …

What if you have forgotten the password? (It happens. I took a break from work for 3 weeks due to chicken pox. Totally forgot all my passwords.)

Maybe WeWork is picking up left-over locations. Some rent is better than no rent. If the landlord could find a better tenant, WeWork would have zero chance to rent any of it.

While the excessive amount of sugar in some food and drinks is bad, at least they don’t give you withdrawal when you stop taking them.

Given that nicotine addiction is a thing, I don’t think “occasional moderate use” is possible.

What are the chances those projects will generate income and pay for ETH? Can those projects work without a blockchain? Would it be cheaper to just handle stuff with (digital) sign…

> more recently implying that CPUs with different process sizes was "cheating". Not sure where you heard that because Intel’s CPUs have different feature sizes among the layers. It…

> If the expiration is part of the contract, then it's a derivative contract. In this case you have only 2 outcomes: either you get paid 1 basiscoin, or your "bond" expires worthle…

I always just assume they mean expressive power when “power” is mentioned.

There is also the upgrade to MS Paint to Paint 3D. I tried to like it ... it isn’t horrible but it hasn’t exactly grown on me either. Lots of (to me) useless features clogging up t…

Why would they need to test that? Apple has already done it for them.

Not from revolt though but from succession issues.

I think Conan, with his current show, has more freedom to let his guest go off script which helps with the spontaneity. Fallon and Colbert are pretty controlled probably due to the…

If there is legally sized property ... what else are they going to do with it?
