Sorry, it took me a bit to reply to you on this censorship laden bullshit “you’re replying to fast by posting more than 3 times a day” website. Fuck dang, time to cycle residential…

Honestly I find most studies based solely on self-reported data worthless. What people say they’ll do/buy is often only loosely correlated with what actually happens. See: -YouTube…

It's not proprietary, you can hook up the drives to a linux box and pull files off them just fine if your box dies. I've never had to do this, but I've seen others say they've done…

Should be much better, you spend most of the time coasting and most of your acceleration in very thin atmosphere, vs a plane that has to cruise down in the soup. Also, starship has…

A short boat ride off the coast is all it will take to get form NY to Tokyo in 40 minutes or less. Worth it.

E2E payload weight will be much lower than typical LEO configs, total altitude lower. You don't need to circularize etc etc. This means you can spend more fuel/be less efficient ov…

Starship E2E (earth 2 earth) will make in-atmo supersonic pointless.

>btrfs is a horrible mess that will likely lose your data. Meanwhile the bazillion petabytes on the world's synology NAS run fine, and are BTRFS.

As opposed to the centralized extremism export machine we have now.

If they don’t censor, they’re not liable. If they censor, they are liable.

> Corporations are not bound by the restrictions laid out in the first amendment; only the government is. I think that is no longer the consensus. We have corporations that rival g…

This couldn’t be more wrong or dishonest. The merge has been part of the plan since 2016. The users were onboard with this from the beginning.

Not yet, but when the combined effects of the merge + EIP 1559 drive ETH to flip BTC _and_ the ever-increasing "BTC wastes X countries worth of power per day" it will eventually ha…

3x hash rate @ same $USD value == 1/3rd the rewards per hash

Exactly. This is a triumph and the entire open source community should be celebrating

>after years of the merge being “months” away It's only been months aways for a few months though. I have endured years of gaslighting comments like this _specifically_ from this a…

Perhaps that nuance is achievable, but I have seen none of that here. That said, I fundamentally disagree that crypto is "overall negative", and with the move to PoS the largest ne…

AirDrop is 100x slower than the equivalent wired solution. I say this as someone transfering 350GB of media off their phone on friday, Apple needs to fix wired file access from mac…

This deserves to be the top spot on HN right now. Years of countless replies and mockery here across N accounts telling me this day would _never_ happen. Yet here we are, we're fin…

HN moderation has seriously diminished the value of this site to me, putting it nicely.

We'll see. I don't think it's controversial to suggest psychologists will be studying this cohort for the rest of their lives.

>Just line up the number of people who died / got sick of non-COVID19 diseases in 2020 This is _extremely_ difficult to do, as a mix of both incentive structures and poor policy le…

>You are mixing up mortality and mortality attributed to COVID. There's also the problem of governments playing funny games around deaths and "vaccinated". Someone who died from an…

Depending on the sharpness of the spire, it may even be the cutting edge!

Money laundering means concealing dirty cash, clean money doesn’t need to be laundered by definition. A mixer concealing the public address of clean money is not nefarious in any w…
