They are (or maybe already have) going to allow trading of Bitcoin futures. If you strongly feel it is destined to crash, you can make a lot of money here.
This model smacks of 1990's style thinking. Do they think Amazon and Google won't start building out their own 'internets'? Do they think that this type of fragmentation and duplication of efforts would be anything but harmful for consumers? This isn't free market capitalism. This is crony capitalism.
The kicker is that, through all of this screwing around... the energy production, the bitcoin mining, the trading... absolutely nothing of any value is produced through the use of all that effort and resources, other than a spectacular demonstration of the way that entropy always increases.
We only got a 2-3 off-airs, the rest of the channels were static. My brothers and I, when we wanted to change channels would walk over to the TV (no remote), grab the dial and rapidly spin it until we saw the channel flash by on the TV screen, and then back it off one or two clicks because we'd overshot. My dad would then yell at us not to do that because they were not meant to be turned that fast and we were going to break it. I guess now, were I in his shoes, I probably would say the same thing but we did that for years and years on many different TV's, and you know what? Not a single dial ever broke.
I haven't seen that one, but I have seen a huge increase in robocallers spoofing local numbers because I'm much more likely to answer one of those calls.
Will they deliver these fines to people in their hospital beds if they are struck while crossing? Or are their immediate relatives on the hook to pay if the person is fatally injured?
I have a 9 year old LCD TV that has failing capacitors in the power supply. It takes multiple tries to power on, where it turns itself off and on and shows weird things on the screen. I know exactly what the problem is and I spent a dollar or two and got the caps I need, although I don't want to actually do the work until after the World Series is over just in case I do something stupid and break it.
But I'm sure Samsung would much rather have me go out and spend $500 on a brand new 'smart' TV that I don't want.
How long until manufacturers build in cryptocurrency mining into their stock firmware to use that extra processing power, phoning home periodically to 'recieve updates'?

There is absolutely no way I would do business with a bank that charged a fee like that. That's ridiculous. That's what they're there for.
This way you get it from the horses.... errmmm... the celebrity's mouth, not second- or third-hand.

Data was definitely hanging out in Uncanny Valley.

You're going to wind up with kids who are really, really good at The Price Is Right.
God damn it, now I'm hungry.

I think you missed the point. The article is about a new standard, not a new TV.

I can't wait to clean out my identical twin's account.

Ahhh, spotted the flaw in your logic immediately. You said 'good manager'. A good manager wouldn't use something like this.
Refrigerators are the same way. They've reduced the warranties down to a year or two, they used to be much longer. They're basically disposable.
I listened to this podcast about dicamba last summer. It was kind of interesting and fairly relevant to this story.
That literally is at the bottom of the list of criteria I use to make my daily decisions.

I learned very early on to use a random number to initialize the RNG.

I asked for turn by turn directions to Mars, and it took me to Elon Musk's estate?

I laughed out loud at this!
