retirement is covered by social security healthcare by insurance (offered by the state if you can't afford it yourself)

homes, etc is true though and we just need to build more inventory IMO. but there are tons of areas with affordable homes, they just aren't near the big cities like NYC or SF or LA

all of cryptocurrency relies on sha256 the fact that the space is huge, and just ignores collisions. seems to work fine.

it's honestly terrible. ask it "write 10 sentences that end in the word apple" and watch it flail.

Yes, easily. We do this for the JS runtime at litprotocol.com

i dunno what makes you think that. the iphone 13 mini was released alongside the other iphone 13's and is the latest gen. all signs point to apple releasing a mini version of the next iphone, too.

since smart contracts are turing complete, you could easily write a "dead mans switch" contract that requires check in, say, every 30 days.

the contract could be written such that if two or more checkins in a row are missed, then the assets can be withdrawn by any authorized users.

That's not how it works. If the defi contracts collapse, the borrowers get margin called. The borrowers must overcollateralize quite a bit, usually 1.5x or 2x what they are borrowing. You could argue that the sell order will fall through in the case of a total market collapse. But the market has fallen 90% in the past and this has not happened.

"automatic cruise control" is free and comes with every Tesla. It is not $10k. It is what they call "autopilot" and is free. "Full self driving" is what is $10k and includes automatic navigation on highways when using "automatic cruise control"

It's not smooth though. Once traffic starts again, Eyesight accelerates hard and then brakes hard when it get up to the car, because it's using cruise control and trying get up to speed and there is a minimum speed (25mph? maybe 10mph? i forget) to set the cruise control.

You are correct, but, have you used Stadia at all? I have and frankly it's clear that Google is not investing in it. Even with a great internet connection, the rendering on the server side is often laggy, pixelated, blurred, and stutters. It definitely appears that they are not running the games on big enough machines or are oversharing machines or something. I tried playing 3 different games over this past weekend and all 3 were unplayable. When the user experience is that poor, the writing is on the wall.

They did mention it. Did you read the article? From the article:

When reached on their new Twitter account, the top moderators said they wanted to strike a movie deal, but were planning to give any proceeds to charity.

“Them trying to make it look like we are cash grabbing is so dishonest,” the moderators wrote.

I like webcamoid but it has memory leaks on mac. I have 64gb so I only discovered this when using it for a production use case where it was open for over an hour. It was not fun scrambling to restart it every hour while live.

With proper BTC usage, you never reuse an address. It's perfect forward secrecy.

But how does that square with the 52-week staggered release bit?

It's random, but distributed over 52 weeks because the hash function has psuedo-random output. It's quite clever, IMO. That's what "Determined by hash(name) % 52" means. You want to register "meow" today? Well, then check if hash("meow") % 52 <= currentWeekIndex

That's my understanding, but I haven't actually read any docs.
