France is always in some sort of turmoil but the protests seem to be getting more and more violent. I wonder if this isn't instigated by the west for France's position on keeping an open diplomatic channel with Russia after the Russian army entered Ukraine or maybe for openly calling out NATO as brain-dead.
With all we've been finding out, it's far from unlikely. |

Time to panic sell then, I guess..  Almost makes me want to get out of Bitcoin for the same reason you wouldn't want to be in a room with a guy holding a revolver and talking about 'the voices' and twitching. |

My rule 0 is someone has a better model than you unless this is something you do full-time and their gain will likely be your loss. "Any market trend rule, once publicly revealed, stops working."
Indeed. Arthur C Clarke once wrote a story about a computer that was able to completely predict the market and, in doing so, eliminated all predictability (or something like that. It's been a while). |

heat is a bitch although NJ,USA has been good so far this year.
NJ? Gotta say, I'd probably be shopping around for cheaper kWH. |

Never underestimate that the halving is coming.

protecting 20 trillion with the same amount of money as protecting 600 billion now is not a great idea.
This is what Core believe they have helped answer with their insistence that a protection against DOS is an essential piece of the code. Some have a difference of opinion. |

It takes 2 1/2 hrs to reach the 3,800 metre depth where the Titanic lies. Comms were lost 1 hour 45 mins into the dive. So the sub would have been around 2,700 metre depth. Very close to that 3,000 metre maximum depth rating! The fact that the 2021 and 2022 (one in each year) Titan expeditions went well seems to be just dumb luck. The last expedition to the wreck of the Titanic with a sub that had the proper depth rating was in 2019 (a sub called Limiting Factor - which is rated at 11km! depth). The Mir submersibles used by James Cameron 33 times had a rating of 6km. There were never new subs built by OceanGate, it appears to have tried to patch up the original Titan and make do with that. Stockton Rush appears to be was a complete idiot and a murderer. 4 eye rolls for the other passengers / pilot. RIP. Suggests maybe they were running out of money and decided to take their chances. If they were only running one mission a year, that's definitely not enough to convince me. That's "we're still in the experimental phase" shit. |

Why are we going up? Can anybody loop me in? Google gives me nothing
We are going up because the price is too low. |

Something tells me that the aliens would probably be more interested in crypto than fiat…
What if Bitcoin was the advancement they were waiting for us to make? |

It's the ol' fudslam. Wait until things are quiet and some low-level FUD comes along then sell enough to move the market down and accumulate while people are fearful.

My first cousin lost a kid to a tv set in the 90’s.
I always felt the move to tube conforming designs made them easier to pull over. Yeah the 5 year old dropped it on the 9 month old while the mother was washing dishes. Very sad story. Wow, that's rough. |

I remember the weight of an old CRT televisions from 40 inch to above, man that weight a ton. You can easy get a disc bulge moving that.
Even a relatively small one could kill a small child. |

Were not the monitors so big in 1989 that a distance of 50cm could not be realised at all? Or were the desks just deeper (in depth) back then?
Monitors were generally smaller. Unless you really needed one, you were probably hanging out around 13-15" (like the one in the picture). 20" monitors were monsters and a danger to move around. The main issue is that people would put the monitor on top of the PC case which, while seemingly an obvious thing to do, is not ergonomic. FWIW, 50cm is not that far. Basically at the back of the keyboard and a little bit more. The LCD and the back of the desk seems extreme to me (that's more like 100cm) and would have me straining to see the pixels.  As to multi-monitor setups, people generally have a primary and use the extras for ancillary information or occasional viewing. |

Dude at work told me about the monitor position thing back in 1989. It's been known for a long time. |

it was 20 thou years ago and that's why we got so smart...it ain't now and that's why we are getting progressively dumb and dumberer...I have a front view as i see the level of students' intellect and preparation with a noticeable downslope in the last 12-15 years, accelerating after 2020. From my point of view, i don't see how it could be reversed. I don't know what is causing it, and why there is no urgent alarm sounded so far. We are on the way to 'idiocracy', maybe governed by the AI 'overloads'. I am sorry to paint a bleak picture...maybe someone has an explanation...I would like to hear it.
I'm not saying it's social media... But it's social media. |
