We should be focusing on indications of proper EV certificates rather than confusing users.
The entire reason we need extended validation certificates is because the TRUSTED certificate AUTHORITIES weren't doing their fucking jobs and weren't verifying anything before issuing certificates to anyone who wanted one.
Telling the CAs they have to do more work to issue MORE TRUSTED certs won't fix shit.
HTTPS was only ever about securing the pipe from one end to the other. It was never about ensuring the host on the other end is who you think it is, and it never will be. Maybe when CAs fuck up EV certs so badly in 2020 the clowns decide we need EV+ or EV2 certs you'll realize this.
What are you on about? X times smaller means "divided by X" in pretty much every context I've ever encountered.
My point is exactly how that is bullshit.
X is Y times as big as Z. X is Y times as small as Z. X is Y times Z. X = YZ
X is Y times bigger than Z. X = Z + YZ
X is Y times smaller than Z. X = Z - YZ
X is one Yth as big as Z. X is one Yth as small as Z. X is one Yth Z. X = Z/Y
X is one Yth bigger than Z. X = Z + Z/Y
X is one Yth smaller than Z. X = Z - Z/Y
Some things to note:
Terms like "big" and "small" aren't very useful, so you can say things are "as small as" or "as big as" each other and mean the same comparison. These terms can weakly imply information in certain instances, such as a filter that filters particles as small as X. Otherwise, "as big as" or "as small as" are effectively "the same size as".
Terms like "smaller" and "bigger" do have a true direction, as with "more" and "less" or "fewer".
When something is compared to something else in a fractional, percentage, or other referential sense, the scale is implied as being that of the thing to which the comparison is being made. For example, "10 is 50% less than 20" has the implication that the "50%" refers to 50% of 20.
This is simple math and simple English, and I'm sick of "journalists" getting it wrong. There's also the common bullshit where "X times better" in marketing means "X times as good" or "X-1 times better".
Obviously the average temperature of the vacuum of space is some value, let's call it T_v. If the temperature of the atomic fridge - let's call it T_f - is 10 billion times colder than T_v, then: T_f = T_v - 10,000,000,000 T_v
The summary also states that the atomic fridge "can reach temperatures that are just one ten billionth of a degree above absolute zero". So, assuming they're talking in Kelvin (or a system with the same scale but a different offset), T_f = 1/10,000,000,000 degrees Kelvin.
Thus, the average temperature of the vacuum of space is slightly below absolute zero, and the atomic fridge can reach temperatures 10 billion times colder. But since we're referencing a point below absolute zero, "colder" actually means "hotter" (a negative times a negative is positive).
However you feel about MS, they famously didn't rig demos.
All the Kinect demos, Holo Lens demos, etc. were fake as fuck. Even your standard "Some devs / media whores play the game live" demos are typically staged. They literally have meat puppets on stage holding a controller and pretending to play the game and pretending to react to it, while a video of the alleged gameplay is shown on the giant screens behind them.
Rtings.com is red, and they don't mention it anywhere. They do indirectly address how certain content can damage your expensive OLED display. Content like their own logo.
Basically. Most "nuclear waste" is the equivalent of someone throwing away a ketchup bottle that's half full because mom said not to shake, tap, or invert the bottle to get the rest out.
A triggered snowflake AC on Slashdot has been trolling anything that has a whiff of "wrong think" to it and calling other posters snowflakes. It's been going on for a couple of months (that I've noticed).
I don't know if they're trying to be funny (by being a whiny snowflake who calls other snowflakes), or if they're actually just that retarded.
Who cares? Let the energy costs adjust and fix it naturally. As for storage, you don't need to store the whole blockchain as a mere user.
Lots of people care, sexconker. There's every reason to not want to spend huge amounts of power generation on something that is, for all intents and purposes, an intangible speculative investment used by a very small number of people.
You haven't shown who cares or that there are lots of those who do.
Further, I don't think we should spend huge amounts of power generation on sporting events. Does that mean others should care? Does it mean sports stadiums should be shut down? What if I get "lots of people" to say they care like I do?
Or maybe, just maybe, people can buy electricity and do what they want with it.
Proof of work is rewarded because the entire network depends on it. The valuation of the currency is separate from that, and automatically adjusts to what people thing the value of the currency should be. The work also automatically adjusts to keep blocks coming in at a steady pace. But one hour of mining is never pegged to one hour of some other work to produce some good or provide some service. Nor is the more universal measure of one hour of block generation for the entire network (i.e., 6 blocks since the average adjusts to 10 minutes per block).
You take the difficulty and current block rate to determine an estimate of the current hashrate (you can also get this info from pools that share). You could also add 1% or 2% for wasted work (stale shares, for example) and other overhead. Then you take the best ASIC you can find and get the hash/Watt conversion. Then cut that in half that since much of the network will be powered by older shit.
Then you take your hashrate and divide by your ASIC efficiency and bingo bango, you've got an estimate goin'.
There's capacity and there's convenience/time to go a bit further. For you if you have a 400 mile trip to make, you bear the burden of a quick stop for gas.
For an electric car, even availing itself of tesla supercharger network, you will have to contend with a more inconvenient stop along the way.
Now this may be worth it in exchange for commuter experience of never having to stop for gas as you charge at home overnight, but we have to be honest that for long distance trips, ICE has both a capacity and refuel advantage still yet.
I can go 500 miles with a single tank.
In practice, the fucking thing is calibrated so the "OH SHIT" light goes on when there are 3 gallons left and the thing reads "empty" when there are 2.5 gallons left. So I typically fill up after around 300 miles after 2 weeks of city commuting so I don't forget, or at the end of my road trip. Stopping in the middle of a long drive is such a fucking time sink.
I can't fucking imagine doing a long road trip in a current electric car. I'd be fine stopping once for lunch and plugging in to charge, but multiple times? That's just a huge time sink until they make battery swapping available. Even when stopping for lunch, I'd expect to be back on the road within 30 minutes. How much range can I get from 30 minutes starting at, oh, 35% capacity?
1) Enough power to get past the static friction of the thing you're towing. 2) Enough sustained power to keep up with rolling friction of the thing you're towing and the thing doing the towing. 3) Enough engagement between the towing vehicle and its travel surface to prevent slipping during 1 and 2. This can be from typical friction, or it can be something with more direct engagement (like a chain drive system).

It doesn't matter if the end product matched the demo or not when determining if a demo was faked or not.

1/10,000,000,000 degrees Kelvin = T_v (1 - 10,000,000,000)
1/10,000,000,000 / (1 - 10,000,000,000) degrees Kelvin = T_v
-0.0000000000000000000100000000010000000001... degrees Kelvin = T_v.

I wouldn't pay for it otherwise. There's plenty on YT I watch but I wasn't bothered by ads before because I have my adblockers active.
Why not pay for the content to remove the ads (you can still keep your ad blocker)? That's how the videos are funded.
Because with an ad blocker, he doesn't have to.

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!
Canyonero! Yah! Canyonero!
The Federal Highway commision has ruled the

Canyonero!
12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Canyonero! Canyonero! Yah!
She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She's a squirrel squashing, deer smacking, driving machine!
Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! Yah!
Drive Canyonero! Woah Canyonero! Woah!
