I share your “rare grip” precisely and also adopted it to alleviate pinky pain. To add another anecdote to the pile I also prefer UI elements at the top although a toggle in settings or at least a configuration file would be best. I don’t understand my own preferences on this issue though because the arguments for the bottom position are completely convincing to me. (Thumb is closer, top of screen is better used for displaying messages, etc)

Just point them at a multipool and you can set it up to auto-switch to whatever "shitcoin" is currently most profitable and auto convert everything to BTC (or your output coin of choice). As someone who lived through the original GPU->FPGA->ASIC arms race it's surprising to me but you can make decent amounts of BTC with just a high end CPU let alone GPU rigs or old sha256 ASICs.

Wow thanks for the tip on "Blood-Evil" been a fan for decades and it never occurred to me. Also was really into Gescom back in the day so maybe people who like hiding data in recordings have good taste.

Well said. Reading Banks was the first time as an adult that I had hope for the future. The resulting exhilaration literally kept me up for a couple days. Later the same year he passed and it brought home to me the gratitude I have to him for expanding my conception of what a good future (in the context of humans and super-intelligence co-existing) could be.

Your argument doesn’t follow. How would being a software developer be the worst job because they “automate their own work away” when in fact they’d have a job until they automated everyone’s work away? It’s likely a given developer would reach retirement before that happens. Meanwhile tons of other people are out of a job.

Wow Nadella just passed Ballmer as my least favorite Microsoft CEO. Who could possibly endorse this idea in good faith? It sounds like something you’d use to keep 10-13 year olds accountable for schoolwork not something fitting for adults in a dynamic working environment.

This is an excellent question that I’ve never seen addressed. Replying just to call attention to it in the hopes that someone knowledgeable HN’ers can answer. It seems like cloud would quickly become a commodity but I have no special insight.

Ok that explains how space becomes timelike. But I never hear anyone address how time becomes spacelike. In what sense does it become spacelike? Can one move back and forth in time inside the event horizon?

The management maybe. I have a hard time believing that the rank and file engineers get to call the shots on this garbage. I have no special insight into how Samsung works internally though.

Comsider the situation if they removed the bathrooms. What’s the plan when inevitably somebody didn’t plan ahead or gets sick? A very unpleasant ride / the whole cabin watching their fellow flyer urinate (or worse) in the aisle? Seems like a complete nonstarter.

I’m not blind and don’t personally know any blind people but I can imagine that blind people have heard of television at this point and the more curious among them have familiarized themselves with the technical implementation. Therefore a blind person understanding what resolution means shouldn’t necessarily be surprising.
