The US Government is already one of or the largest know holder of Bitcoin. And that is without the assumption that the US Government owns the Satoshi coins. It would be fine if gov…

Why not use 110V AC for a hotplate and the soldering iron? USB seems silly.

What kind of student were you in high school. Tell us in 5,000 words or more. Now take this personality test. Now do this other crazy thing.

AirTags will report their last known location. This is very likely to be the point it was driven into a container. If the container wasn't moved or loaded onto a ship yet it could …

"The loin changed me far more than my presence changed it - for the better. It taught me compassion and empathy and how to avoid getting knifed by a junkie in the alleyway." I 100%…

In most cases it's both. Like the people who were early to the Internet, they believe in a better world and they hope their early participation will be rewarded.

I couldn't find that Tesla will receive "billions" anywhere. Only that the US Federal government is giving $5B to states and Tesla is applying for some of that money. Where do you …

It's really a different approach that will yield different outcomes and experiences. Super Cruise works on "pre-mapped divided highways". That suggests it's more like hard coding m…

I have a dedicated glove box button in my Tesla S. It's one of the few dedicated buttons.

If they can put a dog nose and tongue on a video with AI, I would guess maybe removing the sound of the drone is possible.

This is exactly my concern for today's content and it puts us in a place where future content is at risk. Removing select episodes of sitcoms because they aren't politically correc…

I think you may want to revisit your 80%. The vaccine efficacy for sterilization of the virus ended up dropping more quickly than expected and that's even with pre-Delta variants. …

Agreed. But I don't hear anyone talking about making a old style COVID vaccine that prevents infection, disease or transmission. That's what's different in this case. We don't curr…

Apple stores require this for screen repair or even battery replacement. I won't get my aging iphone X battery replaced for exactly this reason. It's too much work to erase my phon…

The same thing happened with Ivermectin as a prophylaxis. All of a sudden anything that was years old with a history of safe use in humans was off the table. They all also happen t…

The argument is that Bitcoin not only has a provable total fixed supply & rate of future supply and that it has more utility than gold because it's easier to transfer and harder to…

Why didn't they wait until April 1st to make this announcement? Clearly they haven't learned enough about the internet culture from Elon.

I miss when we were called slackers. Then we built the Internet and modern world but nobody gives us credit for that.

That's hot.
