Dave Kleiman. See also https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcasetext.com%2Fcase%2Fkleiman-v-wright-14 - where did all those Bitcoins come from?

Actually there's plenty of reasons to believe Dave wasn't, but until there's a better candidate I'm going with him. The man was Army, supposedly an ex-fed, was on the proper mailing lists to be Satoshi, and knew his stuff when it came to security, given how often he was a technical editor or contributor: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FDave_Kleiman%23Publications

If Satoshi were not dead (as Kleiman is, passed in 2013) how could he resist doing something with the billions of dollar of Bitcoin he would have, at least moving them around to another wallet?
Also, Dave Kleiman's specialty was Windows security - the first release of Bitcoin was Windows only? https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FMaguines%2FBitcoin-v0.1%2Ftree%2Fmaster%2Fbitcoin0.1

Keeping my betting chips there for now.

As Fully Ramblomatic (the original name for ZP from before The Escapist) with the Second Wind Group (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2F%40SecondWindGroup) which is comprised of the ex-Escapist staff - very excited to see how much they have gotten up and running in the last couple days since the mass exodus!

Depending on the crypto, you are absolutely right that there is inflation due to more coins being minted. Those APYs are also generally an average, you don't get a set percentage every staking period, it depends on the # of transactions processed on the chain.

This is why for example all those random coins on PancakeSwap are such a bad idea. I wouldn't say they are outright scams, but even paying a >10% APY for a short time as a teaser is a sign that there is huge inflation risk to any investment there.

Some coins have implemented token burning as a means to reduce the number of coins in circulation; ETH is probably the most well known for having had at least some success doing this. The main crypto where there actually is a fixed amount of coins is of course BTC; but that chain has the terrible inefficiencies of Proof of Work. Authorities are going to have to figure out Proof Of Stake regulation, because that's the only (currently) viable consensus mechanism that doesn't have disastrous ecological implications.

No, this is just something Googlers do whenever there is a changelist that does something either controversial or very popular/unpopular. There is a lot of trolling and (mostly) good natured fun that happens with code reviews, I assume in all large tech companies, but definitely at Google. Even after the disappointing layoff.

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 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...

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.

While radiation mostly results in transient errors, it can also cause latch-ups that blow a gate off of the die. For rad-hard equipment in space this is mitigated by silicon-on-insulator fabrication, so that you can't have a latch-up between the substrate and a silicon feature.

We could have REAL ZOMBIES! YEAH!

I hear you. Going to be an interesting future, if we live.

Someone who broke their neck and was suffering from paralysis. You can control a chair or exoskeleton. People who can not hear today have cochlear implants, this is not all that different and might (eventually) work better. Or speak, or see. Other people who are disabled in various ways.

Oops. To continue: I'm just not seeing that it is so hard to access. But then, I use a Linux desktop, which has always come with a proper PDF renderer, there has never been a need to download "Acrobat".

Web pages use SVG to render vector graphics. It uses the exact same imaging model as PDF and is implemented in all modern browsers. The web in general has taken a lot of lessons from Adobe because Warnock and Geshke, in the PostScript Red Book, got so much right about how to build an image model that many GUI developers are still learning today. If you start with a PDF, it should be possible to machine-translate it to SVG and present it as a web page.

PDF exists because it is trivial to generate it from the document renderer meant for printing. Although I have once in a while run into an improperly scaled PDF meant to be printed 8-up, I'm just not

Lithium battery fires are in the news because they are new. There are many more gasoline fires every day.
