I would guess all of these are included in the 4.4 million

They’ll probably cost $3,000 (if not more) but they will sell truckloads of them

So layoffs are bad, but not doing layoffs is bad too?

A single nuclear warhead is not capable of ending life as we know it, where did you read that ?

Love how nobody got the joke

When DST ends you set your clock back 1 hour (or it does it automatically nowadays) in the middle of the night, gaining 1 hour of extra sleep

The joke here is that the guy did the same for Leap Day, setting his clock back 24 hours and gaining 24 hours of sleep, so when his boss called at 2pm he was in the middle of his ~32h night

A blockchain is only as secure as the amount of work (= processing power) that goes into it. Anyone with 51% of the processing power invested in a blockchain can attack it and essentially steal from other people. For cryptocurrencies it’s a problem that solves itself, because every person that possesses some of the cryptocurrency is incentivized to mine to keep it secure (and to earn some at the same time). The more your cryptocurrency is valuable, the more people will want to mine it and the more secure it will be.

For anything other than cryptocurrencies, you can’t incentivize a huge number of people to commit computing power to secure your blockchain. So you have to protect it some other way, for example only allowing you and some trusted people to write on it. But then it doesn’t really need to be a blockchain anymore, just a write-only database (which will perform better and occupy less space).

If it requires no work to generate a block at the end of your blockchain, any attacker can generate malicious ones.

The power needed to charge mobile devices doesn’t really increase with time, until we invent a totally new battery technology we won’t need more than USB-C to charge phones

Good thing guns are banned (in civilized countries anyway) so terrorists can’t use them

If you never use medicine that was developed with the help of animal testing I guess you could. If you do use pretty much any kind of antibiotics though, or are unfortunately diabetic and have to use insulin, then it would be pretty hypocritical.

What’s the problem with day-one patches? I’d much rather have a game with a day-one patch than a game that needs a patch 1 year after its release

Game + day-one patch is essentially the initial state of the game

Hello, I would really appreciate being able to disable swipe gestures (for example to upvote/downvote or save). In Apollo iirc there was a settings switch for each swipe gesture, and disabling all of them enabled lateral swipes for navigation, from anywhere on the screen instead of just from the edge. Thanks
