I wonder how many anti-Orb critical comments on this post are from actual humans? And how many are auto-generated by AI? AI, which may be trying to shut down a future threat to its evil plans to subjugate humanity.
Your coin -- all sold.
Probably means that there would be a natural market for storage. A grid scale battery owner could make money absorbing the power and then make money again selling it when its needed.
Or just burn it with resistors and collect the money once. A lot simpler than storing it.
True network criminals, IMHO.
The industry did a lot of work to transition away from harmful trichloroethylene as a PCB wash solvent -- switching to water wash, requiring all parts to be water tolerant. Now the boards are water soluble, what do we use to wash with?
This isn't the first time broadcast AM has used government and law to stay its inevitable demise. The memory of Edwin Howard Armstrong should shame those fools in congress.
There WAS a an "apparent" shortage of bandwidth in the early days of radio because radios were relatively simple devices compared to what's possible today. Monopolies captured the regulation to enshrine their old technology into law. Today with Cellular, CDM, MIMO, etc... there's plenty of bandwidth -- if bandwidth still even means anything. So why does the FCC still auction bandwidth like it is still 1934? What's the justification for licensing an abstract thing called "frequency"? What's so special about the Fourier transform that it is enshrined in law? Yet, say, wavelet transforms are unregulated?
If the Internet is regulated, I expect the same sort of regulatory capture as happened in 1934.
Seems like Nick Bostrom's paperclip maximizer would be even better as a modern Turing test. Give the AI $100K as seed money and incentivize it to make as many paper clips as possible. If we all die, the AI passed the test.
Finally, something better than Play Doh for squishy circuits
Ironic for a business to promote a competitive product that will someday make that same business irrelevant. It shows you how un-threatened Visa and MC feel about crypto. With each floppy disk purchase: a free flash drive!
Maybe I should talk to it. Teach it phenomenology. Awhh, crap, it's philosophy has a layer of DRM.
Move along...
The RFID industry has been working on passive single and multibit tags for decades. Many of these tags have two states and the state transition is sometimes irreversible. They are typically 2D printed. The proposed innovation here appears to be an attempt to change the state of a passive tag reversibly with a simple motion, and possibly more than one bit. Good luck to them, but there are a ton of failed attempts to do similar things.
Seems ironic to me that Netflix is throttling. In other news, my ISP is telling me that they've removed bandwidth limits. Surely these are end times.
