Your concern is well placed, however there's a piece I didn't mention (because it wasn't asked). The 'mining' that takes place is actually serving a purpose: verifying all the bitcoin transactions. What's the first problem with anything digital? It can be copied. Bitcoin's success is due to the fact that you cannot…

I think this video has a better audio quality to it (same performance):

Think about it this way. If you walked into your back yard and started digging, and there were literally a gold mine back there, wouldn't everything you mined be yours? And you could then exchange all that for goods and services? Of course, there's a cost of you to mine, equipment, time, labor etc. With bitcoins that…

three possibilities:

afaik methanol poisoning is countered by drinking ethanol particularly because when methanol is broken down by alcohol depolymerase (the stuff that's probably in the pill) it produces something much worse than when regular ethyl alcohol is broken down. Thus, increasing your enzyme count when ingesting methanol could…

what apropos626 said was on the right track. at the beginning the video dismissed the idea of chemistry as a bridge between math and physics and the rest of science/the world. While it is true that chemistry is complex and intricate, beautifully so, the fact is it is a way for us to 'model' the surrounding world, it…

accurate, but not precise.

but it's haaaaaaaaard

These people typically can't tell the difference between a signed/scanned copy and an electronically signed one. I use Acrobat pro with my signature as a 'stamp' (and flatten fields for security) and no one has complained yet about the myriad documents that I've 'faxed' them using hellofax's (same people as hellosign)…

is that the guy from the national singing?

just make sure your demonstration doesn't involve any plastic...

I actually like to do my phone interviews naked, in a towel. It's a show of dominance.

I didn't say anything of the sort, but feel free to read what you want to read.

Apple's party and the other parties would all have the same things, however it's the service where things would differ. For dinner, Apple would offer one good meal, the other parties a buffet with excellent variety. For drinks, Apple would offer you your choice of a bay gin fizz or a sezarac, the other parties would…

So now I have to pay to wait 15 minutes for their videos to buffer? At least the New York Times actually functioned properly before they started charging.

isn't "so good but so not worth it" apple's motto?

wow. these are probably even more unsustainable than the shoes made out of stingray...

I came here to say that Denver, especially 16th street, looks like that normally...

So where's the gas exchange with the air to deliver oxygen? How is he going to dispel heat from his 'artificial lighting' in order to maintain his algae culture without crashing it? what energy source is powering the 'artificial lighting', and what is it's byproduct? (odds are it's coal). After having spent a year…

saute and/or flambe them to burn off the booze (a bit) and caramelize the sugar then put them on top of french toast.
