No, that’s a Merkel tree. Been around since 1979.

Cryptographically immutable append only ledgers (aka merkel trees) have existed since at least 1979. A blockchain is different because it has distributed consensus. If your consensus algorithm is trust, then it’s not a fucking blockchain.

That seems like its pretty close to us being abke to run linux on a newer phone

You can run Linux on current gen flagship arm SoCs. The framebuffer, gpu and cpu stuff mostly just works (with some support from hardware vendors). It’s the rest of the device that’s the problem: the phone part, the camera, sound, power management, etc.

Very strict. No sugar and no sugar derivatives. Zero carbs. Zero fiber. You must sustain yourself on pure fat and protein powder.

“now”? AI as a field of research originates from the 60s, playing games of checkers and solving algebraic problems using what we’d now call “basic algorithms”.

Surely you mean common refresh rates like 23.976Hz (NTSC), 25hz (PAL & ATSC), 50hz (PAL & ATSC), 59.95hz (NTSC), 100hz (PAL+) and 144hz, right? /s

There’s more CO2 dissolved in the water than there can be at atmospheric pressure. The CO2 is constantly trying to escape, but in order to do so it needs a nucleation site that disturbs the water. When the drink is shaken, lots of little bubbles form, and stick to the inner wall of the drink. These bubbles are nucleation sites. Flicking the side of the drink makes them float up and pop.

The one on the very right is NVMe.

they stop selling parts quickly

That’s weird. If they stopped making parts how did I get a replacement battery for my fairphone 3?

A big problem they have is that they have to rely on Qualcomm for security updates, and the flagship chips simply don’t get 8+ years of support. Fairphone uses Qualcomms IOT chips, which come with much longer support.

I prefer my ice medium rare.

I might get downvoted to hell for this but if we silence fascists then isn’t it just a slippery slope to fascism? Unless people explicitly threaten people then most things should be fair game.

Violence is a founding principle of fascism. You can’t establish a dictatorship without violence. The ideology is an explicit threat.

what do you mean by spell fine?

I mean that when you ask them to spell a word they can list every character one at a time.

And yet they can seemingly spell and count (small numbers) just fine.

They need election reform for that to happen.

Sure, but it’s not more valuable than $30 + regular price increases for 60+ years. That’s what a lifetime membership is.

Lets flip that around: For my own finances $300 is a lot more valuable than $30 for 10 years. So if I’m to expect that the company will go out of business in 10 years or so, I would have been better off paying for the subscription.

Lets also not forget that companies don’t take that $300 and responsibly invest it. It gets reinvested in a risky bid to grow the company and get enough people to subscribe in order to pay for your service going forward.

Lifetime services/updates are always a scam. The economics of this are really simple: Nebula is $30 per year or $300 lifetime. That lifetime membership covers only 10 years of subscription. So what’s the plan after that? There’s only really three outcomes:

• They stop providing you service
• They go bankrupt trying to provide you service
• They grow and stay big enough to be able to subsidize your service for your lifetime. I can’t overstate how unlikely this is.

Buying a lifetime membership you’re gambling that Nebula will grow big enough that other people’s subscription will pay for your service. Your membership is a liability for them.

It’s also bad from the other end. Lots of small software devs will sell lifetime updates but eventually need to abandon their products because they simply run out of money.

A service continually costs money to provide. You can’t pay for that with a single payment. Lifetime services are simply incompatible with running a business long term. It’s a bad idea and someone is always getting screwed.

Please provide an example in street view or otherwise. I’ve seen lots of people make this claim that cyclists won’t use cycle paths but every single time they provide an example it’s plainly obvious why it’s not being used. Bicycle infrastructure is frequently built to shockingly poor standards by people with a clear disdain of its users.

Reducing the height of the hood would also significantly reduce fatalities. It’s hilariously sad that they’re testing this system on an SUV, where the kids and shorter adults hit by this thing won’t make it to the windshield.

Support for 2015 macs ended 7 months ago. Forget 10 years ago, my 2015 mac doesn’t run like it used to in Big Sur.
