We discovered this at work when the number of PRs in our monorepo started dropping off a cliff. Caused quite a panic!

(from the linked Wikipedia article)

Coalition and Conservative governments in office from 2010 to 2019 used the term, and it was applied again by many observers to describe Conservative Party policies from 2021 to 2024, during the cost of living crisis.

2024, last year, is "a long time ago"?

Unfortunately, the likelihood of anyone from /r/WallStreetBets getting prosecuted for market manipulation is slim to none...

"250 picodollars / byte-month" is just a hackish way of saying "$0.25 / gigabyte-month, pro-rated down to the byte."

This is a fallacy. There are many things we can accomplish through medicine, or technology more generally, that evolution never could. There are reasons other than it being a net disadvantage that evolution may not have produced something; for example, a particular chemical may not have an easy and cost-effective way to be created in the body (particularly when food was much harder to come by), but be easy enough for us now to synthesise.

I think what CryptoPunk refers to is that (allegedly) Metro is the only "high street", i.e. with many physical branches, bank created in the UK in the last 100+ years.

Given we're in a thread talking about ICOs and tech startups, I would side with you and say this is an irrelevant classification and the claim is wrong. :-P

Still interesting though, but given the veritable plethora of recently founded remote-only banks of various innovativenesses, I wouldn't say excessive regulation is to blame, if we think this is a Bad Thing.

No, no, they were right the first time... "The future is here, and it's not an iPhone: it's a big-ass table." ;-)

Could you elaborate on what you consider to be Nintendo's Blue Ocean strategy? I mean, I get that they've often tried to be first movers with e.g. motion control, is that what you're referring to?

Surely something more like

(how (in 'python (write (interpreter 'lisp))

:-P

Perhaps if you were to only use the created money for welfare etc?

(Not that I'm optimistic that such a system could come about in practice, or that I'm an economist.)

I know this probably isn't an entirely serious article but still.

Is the end result of having nearly $5,000 really economical, considering the time investment required as well as the money? You end up with $5,000 at the end but have to live in the meantime in order to farm the coffee and chickens...

...and what of the opportunity cost of not doing almost anything else with your time. That's well below minimum wage.

This was a nice "putting it all together" demo at the end.

I think you're thinking of the Melissa virus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_(computer_virus) which did indeed get tracked back to its author like that.

Oh good, he picked the insane one.

Flamebait title -- the answer at the end of the article is "No." :-P

Assuming the video here (http://www.buzzfeed.com/ktlincoln/an-olympic-fencer-refuses-...) is accurate, I make it 28 frames, in a 30 fps video, from the start of the "Allez" to the beep of the hit, so I reluctantly have to agree with the judges.
