When government starts up again they can look at all the government-run places. Any place where nothing bad happened should remain closed for the next six months then re-evaluated. If nothing bad happened after six months then it remains closed.
I bet government could be reduced by a third (or more) if they do that.
"If these developers are right, by the end of 2019 Ethereum's new code could complete transactions using just 1 percent of the energy consumed today." - Even if they're off by 10% or 20% that's still fucking remarkable. Good for them.
That's only the transaction cost though. The main cost is mining and that will be the same as before.
Smart move would be for Apple to introduce a user replaceable battery.
That would take a lot of courage.
tougher phones instead of svelte unreliable product.
Making a tough-looking rugged phone is a cool idea but goes completely against Apple's philosophy. Every designer at Apple would have to be fired first.
You got to be shitting me. Your president wants to spend 2 billion to build a god damn wall like we live in east germany, and you have the gall to say "at least it isn't my money".
(snork)
Only 2 billion?
Don't forget the trillions spent on the F35, etc. Those things are totally necessary for the future of the USA. Despite drones.
Oh wait, according to Wikipedia one of those things actually managed to fly a complete mission in September! Go, USA!!
(No word on what happened since then, I guess the one working F35 needed some work afterwards...)
"The northward movement of fish around the world is disrupting some fishing grounds and revitalizing others -- and fishing businesses are trying to adapt their operations. "
Sometime change costs some people money (and risk), and sometimes the exact same change reduces peoples' costs (and risks). Imagine that. The human mind is capable of reasoning about and understanding patterns that will allow us to adjust to changes in our environment. Perhaps we're not all going to die (at least all at once).
...unless you live in the Pacific and fish are a staple part of your diet.
After hitting a year's low of about $3,143, down about 80 percent from January highs, Bitcoin has risen 27 percent this week.
Lies, damned lies and percentages:
The "80%" in that sentence is 80% of $20,000, ie. $16,000.
The "27%" in that sentence is 27% of $3,000, ie. $810
ie. The rebound is really only a 4% rebound, not a 27% rebound.
And as noted, Bitcoin price is highly manipulated by the Chinese Bitcoin Mafia. They trade small quantities between themselves to keep the price up, hoping to suck people in.

This is really a massive opportunity for the USA.

Some people see monster trucks and NASCAR as art, too.
Except I'd argue it is.
If you have to "argue" that it is then it's not obvious that it is, n'est pas?
Betteridge's law definitely applies here.
It's almost as if you don't know Slashdot charges money for the links in the summaries.
Information? Waaaay down the list of priorities.

Got distracted while writing the post and forgot...
The main advantage to streaming is there are now CDs/Albums/Cassettes/etc. to store and take up physical space....
I thought the main advantage was that you can disconnect your brain, the noises will just keep going all by themselves.
Hush. The spokesman for the entire Internet is speaking.
Maybe you could read the dupe, three posts down.
PS: "Yes".
On the plus side: It has a neural uplink. That'd a better buzzword than 'Bluetooth', which is getting quite old now.
It doesn't need constant battery charges or need an app, either. Two more strikes against it.
Cleverer than the people who'll be buying it, the "iPhone" and the "smart watch" crowd.
We all need more things that need constant battery charges just to make it through the day.
The "smart" fabric could sense environmental changes, warn the wearer of various events
You mean like when it's cold outside?
I already have a sensor for that.
If the phones were $600 instead of $2000 they would sell twice as much.
So they'd make $1200 instead of $2000?
Someone get this man a position of CEO. By that, I mean someone beat some sense into him with a shitstained dildo.
$1200 x 2 = $2400

Because who doesn't want more Chernobyl's or Fukushima's?
It's almost as if you don't know how much radiation, mercury, etc. is released into the air by coal fired plants.
(or how many coal miners die every year due to their work)
Hush, the official UI spokesperson for the entire Internet is speaking.
I only managed two episodes of series two before I lost interest.
An editor's job is to get you to read articles surrounded by adverts, not to provide information.
This will make America look great by comparison, therefore conspiracy.
I live in Spain, I can think of at least four shops within 100 yards that only sell horse meat.
(I live next door to a big food market)
More importantly, how many of those abusive posts were written by women?
(and how many abusive posts did men receive?)

In which case you starve to death.
