But you're also assuming that the simulation has to happen in real-time - it doesn't.
If we are indeed living in a simulated Universe, what we're perceiving as a second might take hours, days, months or even years to compute in the "real world".
I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he's fuzzy, get out of here.
And we mustn’t forget Sharp’s remarkable RoBoHon smartphone. The tiny robot, which bears more than a passing resemblance to Kirobo Mini, also behaves like your personal pal (or more accurately, assistant), reading out your phone messages and alerts, waking you up in the morning, and making and placing calls.
eBay: 2.48$CAD with no shipping or import costs, estimated delivery within 12-36 business days. Total: 2.48$CAD.
Sparkfun: 9.95$USD (~13.06$CAD) with International Economy shipping of 3.45$USD (4.53$CAD), average delivery 2-4 weeks, may take up to 6 weeks. Total 17.59$CAD if I'm not hit with import fees.
I can get SEVEN Arduino Pro mini from eBay for the cost of a single one from Sparkfun, and the shipping delay is more or less the same in both cases.
I'm all for supporting the little guys but that kind of price difference is way too much.
You may be right, but you have to think about bigger numbers. Let's say 100K people listen to your song. That may only be 10$ for the artist but that's 1000$ for the advertisers!
iTunes sells non-DRM'ed music files in AAC at 256kbps. If you still have devices in 2016 that can't play that format, you should upgrade. Even a Nintendo DSi from seven years ago can play those files.
You assume you need to power a GPS 24/7 to be able to track something. A tiny microcontroller can run for months on a battery, powering up the GPS maybe once a day, long enough to read the position before shutting it down again.

You seem on edge, guy. You're probably the kind of guy who cuts in line and talks back with razor-sharp humour.
Woosh indeed, but when we compare the Internet speeds and prices of Europe vs U.S.A. and Canada, the gap is almost as bad.
Fifty cents per year for a 10PBs, I doubt that very much.

As Einstein said, it's all relative.
Because "webcam".

I'll wait for the next similar article about cards that reset the code every 3600 seconds.

Ah, yes. Your "plastic pal who's fun to be with".
Actually, with MP3 we only have approximations of ones and zeroes.
Will the Canadian version allow us to pay in Canadian Tire money?
Headphone jack or not, I'm not letting anything with a microphone or camera made by Google or Amazon into my house, let alone pay for one.

I'm pretty sure about half of the population is in a state of mid-life crisis.

Won't somebody think of the advertisers!

400 Dogecoins for a song? That seems a bit high.
Five hundred metres in diameter! That's half a kilometre or 0.310686 miles in diameter for the metric-challenged readers.

I've already had to do this for the last two OS X versions.
And yet it's still much more powerful than my 2010 Mac mini, which is allowed to run macOS Sierra with its old 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo.
