Bitcoin has been dead for a while now, where have you been? It's a horrible cryptocurrency for actually sending money to someone. It's painfully slow, it costs too much, it's outdated. There are many better cryptocurrencies out there, who are actually innovating. The trouble is, the sheer dominance of Bitcoin in the market drags everyone down with it. Until people realize that Bitcoin isn't the be-all-end-all of cryptocurrencies, the purge will continue. Personally, I like Stellar Lumens. It's cheap, it's fast, it's very decentralized and it doesn't require a power plant to join the network.
...when you close down your nuclear power plants. The wind doesn't always blow, the sun doesn't always shine. You have to have base load energy sources. Without nuclear, you get natural gas and coal as your base load sources. Precisely the opposite of what you're trying to achieve with wind and solar. You're doing it all wrong. Stop screwing around and get to work on thorium fueled MSRs. It's the only way forward.
So, adding margin of error, 25% of their users were ONLY there for porn. 30% were there for porn and other stuff. That leads me to believe the platform is now useless for about 40-50% of their users. Sounds to me like Tumblr is on its death bed.
There are situations where changing the gender of the word changes the meaning of the statement. Sometimes with unintended consequences. Especially in Russian.
Search AirVisual Earth to see a real-time, global view of air quality. Then tell me again how the U.S. is the one who needs to clean up our emissions. Maybe we're just shipping our dirty air to Africa, India and China. -eyeroll-
Yeah, I'm gonna take my cues on what's possible on Mars from a wannabe Mr. Wizard, with nothing but a BS in Mechanical Engineering. How about we put a human or two on the planet's surface, before we start talking about what can and can' be done. I mean come on, we're relying on data from explorer spacecraft here. Not actual people with actual shovels and hands-on experience.
9900k is still faster in non-multi-threaded gaming. Threadripper still stomps it in multi-threaded tasks. So, it looks like Intel is banking on consumers to buy it because it has a bigger number stamped on it.
Technology is the ONLY thing that CAN solve humanity's problems. Your hurt feelings and thin skin are not a problem for humanity, they're YOUR problem. Suck it up and move forward, or just stay away from people.
...using those words, "economic inequality." Like they mean something. What should terrify you is economic equality. That means no one prospers, because everyone is equally poor and dependent on the state for every aspect of their life. It's called Socialism.
And you, sir, need to wake up and smell what you're shoveling. Aside from most of your incoherent babble, saying "wealth didn't trickle down" means you aren't paying a lick of attention to how things actually work in this world. I don't know of a single billionaire (or even millionaire) who keeps their wealth in their mattress. They keep it in banks and the stock market. They use it to fund new ideas. They donate money to charity. They pay most of the taxes in this country. They invest it in businesses, and it's the reason you get to earn a paycheck at all. Banks loan that money out to pay for things like your house or start new businesses. That money is what runs everything.
There's nothing to understand about "wealth inequality." It's a bogus concept. See, here in the real world, when you give workers more money for the same work, the cost of labor increases. When the cost of labor increases, the price of goods and services follows soon after. This cancels out the effects of a earning higher wage, especially for the lower income worker. It's called INFLATION. When this happens, everyone loses income and wealth. No one benefits from it. Period.
You won't find the problem in employment statistics. Business has to run and will do what it needs to in order to keep running. You'll find the problem in the cost of goods and services, and ultimately the value of a dollar. In other words, inflationary effects and cost of living increases.
Well at least we'll get to view the Rebus Tape when they start blowing people up with Blipverts.

This line of thinking can be applied to the manufacture of just about everything in the world. To apply it to electric vehicles, and more specifically lithium ion batteries, then twist it to say it makes them more polluting than ICE vehicles, is utter nonsense. You can apply the same logic to the manufacture if ICE vehicles, as those parts are also made in the very same places in the world. Stick that in your exhaust pipe and smoke it.
So some folks with more dollars than sense dumped a bunch of money into the cryptocurrency market trying to make a quick buck. Some won, some lost. It's been long accepted that most of the alt-coins available today will eventually disappear, leaving only the strongest and most useful cryptocurrencies.
Speculation is what drove the market up to unsustainable levels. I believe it has come back down where it belongs, if not a bit lower, against the U.S. Dollar. But remember, we're talking about currencies, not stocks. People need to get out of the investment mentality and see the technology for what it is: Digital CASH.
Blockchain will never die. Cryptocurrency as a whole will never fail. The genie is already out of the bottle. It just might take a little time for people to change their mentality about it.
Huh. Got some chicken dippers and a fountain drink from 7-11. Complete with a plastic straw. Guess what? The sky didn't fall! Intellectual hogwash strikes again. Right up there with telling us all to switch to margarine instead of butter because it's healthy. Turns out, butter is healthy and margarine causes heart disease and cancer. Oops.
No change at all in 20 years, despite prior predictions. Yet in another 10-20 years it's supposed to be a global disaster. This from an organization that owes it's existence to saying this global disaster is coming, and would be irrelevant if they said otherwise. Don't get me wrong, polluting the very air we breathe is dumb and needs to be curbed. But come on Chicken Little, send the right message.
Of all the weird "new" operating systems I ever tried out, I was the most excited about BeOS. I remember Haiku, and the long absence of news from them had me thinking they were gone too. I'm glad to see they're still kicking, and thrilled about R1.
Excuse me? So if two big corporations come along and want to steal your domain, they can just take it? Uh, NO! That's a 4th amendment violation. Time to lawyer up!

"And yet inflation remains stubbornly near historic lows." Because this is not YET a nationwide policy. But they keep pushing, and prices keep rising.

Talk to your phone manufacturer. Your phone may vary. They're stored in my message history just fine, and it's a cheapo Galaxy Amp II.

Eh, it should only be about a 6 or 7 megaton yield...

Apparently Ver's an even bigger tool in person than he is on Twitter.
Oh the fun one can have using other verbs and a .US tld though... slap.us!
