Your fucking kidding me!... and they are plugging it into the WAN port not LAN port! It's new technology, it needs some research before rushing into it. Not everyone is knowledgeable enough to switch from WiFi yet. (Isn't that an RJ11 phone port btw?) |

Not much earth would be left because we made space elevators out of it  Well, mass wise there would still be ~5.97199e+24 kg out of 5.972. That's kind of the point I guess  |

-several snip snips-Space elevator: the noob Newtonian dabbler in me has a question.
Won't a sufficiently high/massive elevator slow down this mudball's rotation? As in, longer days? Conservation of angular momentum and all that. Please make me feel safe again. Thanks.
If it was that heavy, what do you propose to anchor it to? A large tent peg? 2. Mass vs rotation. As an example: When doing a flip/backflip you pull arms and legs to the body, to speed up the rotation (or you would just land on your head). There is no mass added/reduced and still extending arms and legs slows down the rotation. Since there is extended mass (but little, in relation to the planet), it has to have some effect on rotational speed too. Maybe the weight/distance problem from (1) adds to it, because you'd need greater mass in space to act as counterweight, which leads to 2. Great point but this is based on the percentage mass you displace. The tether will have the mass in the order of magnitude of 10000kg initially then beef it up 1000fold. 10,000,000kg is not a lot relative to the mass of the earth (5,972*10^24 kg). Arms of a person I would estimate to be 5-10% of the total body mass. This is the angular momentum issue I had. if the mass ratio between the outstretched "arm" and the main body is in the order of 1e-17, the slowing down should be around 1e-12 sec/day. Quite tolerable. We'd need to buiild a thousand billion such elevators before the day slows by 1 second. Another issue I had but left unvoiced was about the displacement of the earth+elevator system's center of mass, leading to rotation that is not only slowed down, but also somewhat eccentric wrt the "center of the earth". Given these back of the envelope calculations, the displacement/eccentricity are negligible too. I'm feeling safe again. Thanks. |

Of course not. "They" be working on all of these kinds of details in order that NO THINGIE be screwed up, intentional o no. Don't worry ur lil head about these kinds of matters, you be in good hands.. very smart peeps working on this.. (think about how smart Vitalik is, for example... these guys are even MOAR smarter). This doesn't help. I'm not feeling safe again.  Thanks for trying though. |

I feel like a jerk to say that, but those who trust their email communication to an Outlook server the internet almost deserve it. When will they learn?
ftfy This position is a little bit too drastic for me. I think communication on the Internet can hit a sweet spot between effectiveness and safety. Of course, the right tools are needed, but they must be made widely available to the largely uninformed masses. Of course you're right. We're communicating here aren't we? If someone really needs to talk about anything important though, wouldn't Signal or Protonmail be better choices? Much. Even better if it is augmented by end-to-end oldschool encryption (GnuPG/PGP). Which however entails making your public key widely available via a key server, but being ready to revocate it if for any reason it should become compromised. In short: key management is still a hassle. Microsoft? Apple? Google? Facebook? Lawl.

Companies are having a hard time getting away from Microsoft. There are open source solutions for all Microsoft products, but employees often don't want to adapt. It's also a legal and insurance issue for some companies that require regular audits because Microsoft products have a better reputation than solutions from lesser known open source vendors. It's less employees, who typically must do what they're told and more employers and managers. As well as an undeserved reputation vs other products, there's also "nobody got fired for buying Microsoft" and the idea that if something goes wrong, there is someone to sue. However, Microsoft has lots of lawyers and a deep war chest as companies have often found out to their detriment. I helped a friend some time ago to buy a cheap notebook and setup Ubuntu on it for his daughter. Yesterday he showed me a letter from the school that she needs a Win10 Pro Notebook so that she can use O360 which all the lessons are based on.
Put win10 on a VM. Depending on your morals, you could don an eyepatch. (That doesn't really affect the point of what you're saying but fighting back always helps). Schools should be pushed into platform-agnosticism. Public schools should be almost forced into OS/FOSS (if they like their public funding, that is). There. I said it. Does this make me a socialist?  |

tl;dr: When we cross $50k for good, the rise to $100k could be faster that expected. Brace yourselves, and never forget: HoDL.
I agree with your SOMA forecast of the 50-to-100 trajectory. I'm tempted to WOsMerit you, but I'm afraid of inflation. What can you expect from a bitcoiner? Next time I won't refrain, serious. |

Annoying indeed, and going the way of a more articulated gembitz. In his partial defense, he wasn't always like that. Possible explanations: (a) he got his account stolen (or sold it), (b) he became a sour nocoiner due to boat accident, mindrusting, thoughtless spending or other reasons, (c) he is overdoing some pleasant poison, in powder or liquid form. |
