  • Of course, we both understand how "all men are trash" could be said without bigotry within the right context, but for everyone else that doesn't understand, would someone mind explaining or clarifying?

  • Hopefully proof-of-stake chains will continue developing and offer some usefulness beyond just the perceived value in scarcity and proof-of-work "assets".

    I just keep hanging onto my btc, you know, in case moon.

  • This is just an illustration and a claim about a trend in social media posts. Did I miss a link to an article with anything, like some supporting data?

  • Nah, we'll only splurge for that when the equipment serves at least eight thousand customers. Seven thousand is just not enough to justify it.

  • Is whatever he was holding in the video a good enough "it"? Or, like, a consumer product going all the way to market?

  • I'll agree that dying against your will is torture. And for animals that have time to know something is wrong and can't escape it, they're going to be distressed. I'm curious about the discrepancy between why this reportedly took so long when work safety experts warn that a couple of breaths of an oxygen deficient atmosphere can induce unconsciousness.

    But I'm only answering the question of why we would think this is painless and then assertion that we can't know. It sure sounds like we do know. But I'll stay open minded and keep reading.

  • According to the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, in humans, "breathing an oxygen deficient atmosphere can have serious and immediate effects, including unconsciousness after only one or two breaths. The exposed person has no warning and cannot sense that the oxygen level is too low." In the US, at least 80 people died from accidental nitrogen asphyxiation between 1992 and 2002. Hazards with inert gases and the risks of asphyxiation are well-established.

    The smoot is a nonstandard, humorous unit of length created as part of an MIT fraternity pledge to Lambda Chi Alpha by Oliver R. Smoot, who in October 1958 lay down repeatedly on the Harvard Bridge between Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, so that his fraternity brothers could use his height to measure the length of the bridge.

  • 2024, the first winter of anyone owning anything with a battery, apparently.

  • You're not wrong. The headline's misrepresentation is needlessly distracting. The bill is still racist; why specify ancestry at all?

  • Isn't this just a business article?

  • I wondered how this related to Alan Turing's now-famous work cracking Enigma. TIL.

    Alan Turing's use of probability in cryptanalysis (see Banburismus) contributed to its design. It has sometimes been erroneously stated that Turing designed Colossus to aid the cryptanalysis of the Enigma. (Turing's machine that helped decode Enigma was the electromechanical Bombe, not Colossus.)
