I don't think you get it...
The dollar is backed by aircraft carriers, nuclear missiles, tanks, and oil control.
It has nothing to do with the value of it but with the ability to enforce that value upon the world.
It kind of started already. Steam said today that they will no longer accept Bitcoins as payment. If more larger online stores follow, Bitcoin will be dead in hours.
Not really.. it's all about the timing. When you but stock of any company you can assume it will probably not be around in 100 years. But your investment has a scope of 3 years so you are ok with it.
But even so. Why would a drug supplier accept something that cannot be used in any material way and is not backed by any strong entity as a payment for it's supply?
It's not like the dollars have disappeared from the market...
Even if they need to clean the money, they don't need to make the transaction with bitcoins, they can just buy them and then sell them at the same second.
And it's not like they don't have other, more stable, crypto currency around..
This is even worse then a article asking if God exists...
1 - You can't Prof it, ever, just like God.
2 - You will still end up with the question of what is the basic law on witch that intelligence would exist, making it a recursive paradox. Just like "who created God"
3 - And the worse part is that ppl already believe some Alien created and rules this existence... Aka "GOD".
If we exist in some kind of a contained/simulated existence then who ever owns this existence may be a Alien to it's peers but will be a God to us..
Let's face it, in the best case scenario is a attempt to explain God without using the word "God", in the worse case it is just a click bait...
Don't we have better articles to talk about?
Why is this crap here?
The internet is like going outside it has war, killers, morons, sex, violence.
And it should stay that way, as it should reflect all humans in this planet, not just middle class parents.
The problem is ppl like you that think the internet could replace you as a parent.
What you should do is to filter what your kind kids see, by seeing it 1st. In the same way you don't send you kid alone to the cinema. And while you do that, try to make your kids to think about what they are, in order to grow a strong personality and be able to face the internet and the street and a younger age.
It depends on what the study is actually talking about.
If we replace we become defined as individuals by our brain structure, then we can be uploaded into a replaceable machine.(or even a clone).
Then we will age for long periods of time with very quick resets. During those resets, we are not aging, making this article wrong.
Gold is Gold. In the future you may be able to create gold with extreme nuclear reactions. But the price of the energy required will be high.
Gold has allot of industry aplications and can be stored and protected.
Can be tranfered with little cost.
Cripto coins are bits of information that can be copied, broken, stolen.
It cant be used as material for any industry. It requires resources to do operations with it.
In fact, the only thing setting the price is the amount of energy required to process a block of operations...
And you have the addictive factor: every bitcoin transfer requires more energy, making bitcoin more costly. But is it worth more just because it costs more?
What will happen when brokers say: we wont buy bitcoins anymore, we changed to another crypto coin?
On all F9 history only 1 engine have failed. And that rocket has 9 engines. The other 8 compensated and the primary objective was ok.
Also GAO does not find technical problems....
Spacex and Nasa found it, a long time ago.
GAO only predicts it can be a cause for delays beyond 2018.

Company that makes bioengineered microbes found a way to kill the cure if the subscription is not paid in time...
I'm not against tech news. I'm against them being on slashdot. Those don't strike me as "stuff that matters".
The new way to make publicity: make a article showing your product and present it like it is news....

I do love how the author comes up with a lovely name like "mini brains" for something that can be compared to Frankenstein.
BTW, I have 2 kids, below 10 years old

Capture? Realy? I would say "Computer generated..)
There has been a space economy for half a century now. That is why there are more then 1000 satelites around the earth.
A new space economy could drive that number to 10000 in less then a decadÃncia.

How do you compare $/oz with $ ?
have you ever suported a opensource project? Like submiting code or donating?
Why dont you help out instead of asking for free help?
Ppl using Ubuntu are too noob to know a linux site. Ppl using redhat have jobs.
Am i the only one using screen + irssi?
Stupid auto corrector..... It wrote WhatsApp in "what moves"
WhatsApp moves decisions on the US is the profit, not the job count..

I bet this is causing global warming, instead of human activity.
Well, as i said, in a context it could make sense. But a redshift is not a distance, it is a velocity that can be used to calculate a distance.
