    Still better than buying fuel every week.

    It would be nice to be able to buy 18650's directly from Tesla so we know for sure they're not fake ones.

    Anyone who's president should not have any stocks whatsoever. Conflict of interest.

    Ah, I see. I thought the difficulty changed at the same time as the halving.

  5. And if he has been mining since may 2010 or so, a $5000 fine is nothing. Heck, even a 5 million fine would be a joke to him.

    What you said used to be true because the difficulty was ramping up every few weeks/months, but today it's much slower. The next jump is supposed to be around 2020. http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.co...

    Otherwise, as PPH said, "Facebook's arse is shutting down today" is an alternate funny headline.

    Maybe if we keep repeating it, it's going to happen. You know, like those "facts" on the "news"?

    It all depends on how close to the Moon we are these days. I mean, are we still angry at it?

    Just because you cannot save everyone does not mean everyone has to die.

    There is more dynamic range on a CD in theory, however with sound compression (i.e. "loudness wars", not "lossy audio compression as in MP3 or AAC") we end up with CDs and audio files from music stores that sound like crap.

    Well, he is a billionaire after all. Aren't Americans supposed to listen to what billionaires and movie stars say?

    Just because somebody slaps the word 'fact' on something does not make it so.

    Okay...

    And I'm sick of people trying to tell me what to do and how to live my life.

    A valid opinion.

    The fact of the matter is, the climate is changing because the climate is never and has never been static.

    I'm sorry, but just because somebody slaps the word 'fact' on something does not make it so. Climate may be ever-changing but if we're making it change too much one way or another, it's bad news for us. We can't survive in almost constant -50C or almost constant +50C. We are fragile creatures and so are the plants we rely on to exist.

  20. Exclusive? Fuck you. on 10% Of 'Resident Evil 7' Players Are Wearing VR Headsets (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately for many gamers, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a PSVR exclusive, meaning PC gamers that own an HTC Vive or Oculus Rift are unable to experience the game in VR.

    What the fuck are they smoking? They think PC gamers will buy a damn console because of that? That's the same as asking someone driving a pick-up truck to also buy a damn car just to listen to exclusive radio content. It's not going to happen.

    Who cares about advertisers on the faucets websites? The system is already in place and it seems to be working otherwise the faucets would not exist.

    You then use the crypto-currencies to make micro-payments on websites that have articles you are interested in, so that you don't have annoying ads while trying to read those articles.
