Tom's basically suggests that Brave is steering requests to one Ponzi scheme to a different Ponzi scheme site that pays them a share of the take. No honor among thieves.

Hail Eris!

It's bigger than Pluto and Mike Brown found it at Palomar, not in some desert state where gila monsters and politicians compete for who can bite worse.

Sure, but didn't Apple also build some laptops with soldered-in SSDs, so you couldn't pull the SSD or HD out of a broken laptop in order to salvage its contents, the way you can on other computers? Funny how many Starbucks laptop users had such machines.

Other articles on the topic point out that much the specific "evidence" against him was factually wrong, and the government ignored it when it was pointed out to them. The Former Guy's administration was out to make China and Chinese-Americans look bad. Lelling, then the US Attorney, was playing along with the racist fraud. Rollins, the new one, correctly dropped the charges.

Come again?
> 74 mw is 74,000 times more power than your WiFi router (-30dBm)

A WiFi router is allowed +30 dBm, not -30. That's one full watt, though most WiFi devices aren't quite that powerful.

But if the Havana Syndrome were caused by microwaves, a spectrum analyzer -- a standard piece of test gear -- would be able to pick it up. These used to be big heavy devices but now you can buy hand-held microwave ones, professional quality.

Nope, CAD doesn't let you overcome the basic physics of reactor design; it just lets you tweak away safety margins.

Whether or not uranium-cycle nuclear is safe enough, the reality is that it does not have a net positive production of power. When you take into account the energy cost of building the plant, mining the uranium, enriching the uranium, dealing with spent fuel, and decommissioning the plant when done, you end up putting more in than you got out along the way. In large part it's a very costly way to take TVA hydropower, turn it into enriched uranium, and spend it elsewhere. Rather than just have some transmission lines.

MuseScore may have a public address in belgium, but the company isn't using Yandex because they have a thing for matryochka dolls. TheRegister refers to "The Russia-based WSM Group, owner of Audacity".... Which is to say the Russians have a Belgian subsidiary address, but Vlad calls the shots or run a risk of defenestration.

Bitcoin is a modern, super-harmful variation on an old theme. Gold is not worth very much inherently; it's over-valued because some people think it's currency. But the easy gold has been found, so miners will put in huge effort for it, so long as the value of the gold exceeds the cost to mine. The cost of mining helps set the value.The money supply, in a gold standard, depends to some extent on the success of miners, and is divorced from the needs of the economy. Too much gold created inflation -- Spain's pillaging of Mexico tanked its economy.
Bitcoin is similar. The value is based on the cost of mining, which is predominantly the cost of electricity. So it is almost literally created out of carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Even if you were to use "renewable" energy to mine BTC, that energy could better be used displacing coal and oil. The total amount of CO2 on the plant is what matters, and BTC causes huge amounts to be generated. It is stupid, evil, and existentially harmful to everyone on the planet.

There isn't really any proof that Waymo vehicles are driverless, only that the driver isn't in the vehicle. If you compare a dozen dubiously driverless vehicles to a million collecting data every moment and already doing a pretty good job at autonomy, which do you think will succeed?

The fact that the driver is not in the vehicle does not mean that there is no driver.

I have PaleMoon too, but do more with Firefox nowadays. PaleMoon doesn't have the security ecosystem that Firefox has. Facebook Container, Ghostery, and other tracker-blockers aren't on PaleMoon. NoScript is desupported on PM (though it still usually works) and was a pain in the arse anyway.
Mozilla is having financial issues and it's sad that they're wasting their time on silly fritterware stuff and copying Chrome, rather than improving stuff people use and keeping the API stable for extension devs.

I believe that this was figured out in the amateur observer community before NASA confirmed it. I saw it go by in my twitter feed. Not sure I can find it now...

The price is more like $100/dose, and governments will pay for it. This Oxford vaccine is also being mass produced in India by Serum Institute for low-cost delivery to lower-income countries.
There is real science around Covid; it just isn't coming from Donald, Boris, Vlad, or Joao.

Linear Energy Transfer

It's not radioactive. When high-energy particles strike it, they break apart into lower-energy particles that are more harmful. So, you need enough shielding to catch the particles that break apart in the top layer of your shielding.
