Bitcoin has proven to be a poor "medium of exchange", but that is OK because buying and selling Bitcoin is easy enough for it to be a practical place in which to park money. I.e., it has proven to be a satisfactory…
Out of all the coins, Bitcoin has the longest history of being an OK place to park money. History is probably the largest factor in people's decisions about which coin to park their money in. The fact that other coins…
I found it interesting that Wallace didn't start out racist: he became racist when he discovered it would help him win elections. Before that he was a liberal.
Good point about the need to process the grains and beans. Here is the author of Nuclear War Survival Skills on the subject: >Whole-kernel grains or soybeans cannot be eaten in sufficient quantities to maintain vigor…
>as in "we can't produce enough food." US nuclear-war planners in the 1970s or 1980s estimated that there was enough food in silos in the US to feed the survivors for about 3 years. I think they assumed that 50% or 60%…
My tiny desktop is on all the time (but idle most of the time) and that was the frame in which I wrote my comment.
Taking power consumption into account makes sense when the machine is running on battery power, but all modern processors are power efficient enough for the cost of electricity to be negligible for a tiny desktop…
>no companies actually decline these acquisitions. Not true. Yahoo made 2 separate offers to acquire Google, and an established social-media company offered to acquire Facebook (for a billion dollars IIRC).
I read somewhere about 15 years ago that the term was introduced when laptops would get so hot that the legal departments at laptop vendors started to worry about their liability if they kept calling them laptops and…
And yet the most impactful scientists, Newton and Darwin, spoke English, and the main way France industrialized was to copy developments in England.
There was a stretch of 40 days or so where there was no sun even in the Bay Area. It is very rare, but it has happened (circa 2006).
The usual term for the thing you call "subjective" is "the nominative case".
Thanks. For some reason I couldnt think of that on my own.
I am mystified by your comment. How has OS X's "multi-userness" helped organizations? Do you literally mean two or more people using the same Mac? Has it been useful for organizations that users can ssh into Macs? Or is…
But a duplicate of the actuator failed in a lab on Earth after almost exactly as many turns as the actuator in space lasted -- that's how they determined the cause of the spacecraft's going offline.
"catabolic", not "catatonic".
They activate in response to eating.
--and access to my viewing history and ability to add easily a video to my "watch later" list.
Maybe the US should spend less on defense and should refrain from sending humans to Mars.
>[Bitcoin] only appreciates if you can talk other people into believing it's worth more I would say the same about gold (though you probably disagree). Gold has some "intrinsic value" (e.g., as a plating on electrical…
Sure, but CO2 removal can be funded otherwise than by CO2 offsets or carbon credits -- by a tax on fossil fuels, for example. It is even possible that research can be targeted at using the carbon removed from the…
>carbon removal . . . smells of indulgences Do you believe a religious metaphor to be useful for understanding climate change? Do you believe adding CO2 molecules to the air to be intrinsically sinful with the result…
How much a person can take without producing symptoms varies. My threshold was much lower than average probably because of chronic infections, e.g., Lyme disease. https://mpkb.org/home/pathogenesis/th1spectrum
I once took too much vitamin D, and it took months of avoiding dietary D and sunlight before the symptoms went away.
