But because Krebs said it we all think it's breaking news!

Interesting timing with the release of the Intercept's reporting about the DARPA submission.

I would love to see a comparison between the value of the currency in circulation and the combined cost of the energy, components, etc required to mine it. Is it net zero? Is it net positive? Net negative? I would love someone to do this analysis.

Here's an interesting article about the right-to-repair movement for these industrial tools!

I was born after the great "Right Stuff" generation so my perspective might be skewed. However, every time I see an expended SpaceX rocket land on the droneship I get chills. It's amazing that they are able to do this, in my opinion. I can't wait to watch what happens when, not if, they pull this off.

I would pay up to $30 so that I could watch this Bond movie at home with my family.

Yes, I just posted to make the bad joke in the subject line.

That said, I've been thinking about this since I first heard the report and I want to see this movie so badly that I would gladly subscribe to whatever service buys it just to watch this.

Because the article was written for the 25th anniversary of the language!

It's almost important to DISH because they were coming under pressure to, you know, /use/ the spectrum they had acquired in recent auctions. The government was going to make them divest it unless they started to use it for its intended purpose. Until now, DISH has largely held it as an asset on their books to improve their financial position. Here's some information about the pinch that it was in: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sdxcentral.com%2Farticles%2Fnews%2Fdish-gets-deadline-reprieve-in-fcc-merger-approval%2F2019%2F11%2F.

I am having trouble understanding the conclusions of this study. The statement in the conclusion (and, yes, I RTFA'd) says that it was safe. It did not seem to indicate at all that it was an effective treatment. Is that the message that I am supposed to draw from this? If not, what am I missing?
