What is going on with planes now a days. We went years with little to no news about plane crashes maybe like 1 or 2 major crashes a year. Now it feels like there is a plane problem like every other week. There has to be a lot of looking into plane upgrades on safety and emergency procedures.
Turboprop, missed approach, 2 attempt, typhoon passing by - that's a pretty bad combination. There could be mechanical failure, pilot error, miscommunication with the tower, etc - but I would pin this one of the weather being the overriding factor on top of tragic pilot judgement. |

Wow I must have missed class that day they were talking about how to screw over the world. I knew I shouldn't have stayed up to order that Avalon Batch 2 unit, damnit!
Well, send me 1.0BTC now to 16B694dS2mXQCCgyetmoC73F91rzpnKRQt and I will cure you from HIV and all cancers - no refills though.

This missile is not like an Atlas being launched from the western seaboard of the US where 1/2 the West Coast of the US can see the missile, this is a smaller missile and the residual trail disperses fairly quickly. Looking at the crash the skies above look partly cloudy with some atmospheric haze. But yes no video has shown a trail.
If it only had to travel a few miles to hit it's target, that would decrease the chances of the missile being caught on camera (via satellite). I don't see a conspiracy here. Satellites' capabilities to detect missiles don't depend upon how slow or how far a missile would fly. They detect missile launches right at the start through infrared sensors. Infrared is virtually useless even on GEO when there is significant cloudcover or atmospherics that would disperse the signal. The satellite typically switch to ground radar guided tracking when this happens and usually can track a projectile when it is 3-4 miles up - or at least that was the case 5 years ago - I don't know if they have newer technology now. |

Well as the number of planes in the sky goes up the number of incidents will go up as well (assuming the malfunction and human error rate stay the same). MD83 - guess they haven't modernized the fleet but for short hops it gets the job done.

As a physician I've spent time trying to undue the damage that assholes like this cause. The only cruel and unusual punishment is the agonizing wait the victim's families have to endure. I say run him over with a car a couple times for good measure.

Hey guys, I'm looking at this power supply on newegg to snag during the bitcoin promo. The plan is to have it to power 3 Antminer S3's, standard clocking. I'm wondering if anyone has used this power supply, and if you think it can handle the job? I fail to see why its a whopping 30-100$ cheaper than all the other PSU's of that caliber I am finding. Thoughts? Edit: Here is the link, this is why we don't post right before bed: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152045&cm_re=1200w_psu-_-17-152-045-_-ProductThat is a Raidmax which is known to be pure crap. It's made by 5th tier manufacturers and uses the crappiest components. A Seasonic designed 900W PSU would be able to put out more power reliably than that thing. When the Raidmax hits full load it has all kinds of nasty power ripple and overheats - if you run it in any place hot it will fail in an hour. |

B looks like it would get rained on. I assume Madrid does get some rain, at some point in the year..
Yeah, right, and this year more often than any other year. Covered area with roof (area A) its the chosen one i think  I will just have to buy something to protect shelf from sun the few hours that sun hits that area  At the very least I would keep some kind of very sheer material covering the miners, like maybe the mesh used in a window screen. This would deflect most water droplets wherever they may come from. Hot miners won't condense water but the roof will and a few drops falling down and poof. |

Hope BFL follows thru for you!! They're ok I guess on RMA's,BUT DO NOT BUY ANYTHING from them,they take forever to make & ship stuff  Thought you'd do good with ol lightfoot,I'm amazed at what he did with his miners  I would object to that, at least in my experience. I received my Day 1 pre-order on July 8th 2013 and less than 4 days later it was dead - losing over 1BTC per day. BFL took a total of 13 days to complete my RMA and this was with me sending it Express next morning shipping and BFL sending it back Priority. Of course now all their employees except BCP19 are sitting around shooting the breeze waiting for God to fix their Revision Z boards so have time to do "speedy RMAs". But I'm not bitter or anything   |

I don't know why the hash rate goes down after each peak, but I am pretty sure that the little squiggles in the graph are cause by several miners repeatedly turning their gear on and off just for fun.
It's all those solar powered farms on one side of the planet. Sun comes up, hashrate goes up, sun goes down, hashrate goes down |

I think you're talking about Dell selling mining equipment right? You're not talking about Dell actually mining itself? I could see bigger players getting into the mining equipment game. The actual mining game, I think should only be done by individuals - if businesses started doing it you just know it is only a matter of time until some entity like Microsoft gets 51 percent.
I envision Dell would have both cloud mining and mining hardware for sale. The could have their cloud pool process transactions and run supernodes and you could get an XPS ASIC I'm sure some businesses would trust them a payment processor even for receiving BTC and converting to fiat. |

Do some research before you melt your dorm's power plug. U don't wanna overload it..
Simple power fuse check will say most importan things, since i doubt hes thinking about something serious. But OP, keep in ming that there is also noise, heat , and i doubt that "no fee" policy is as shallow as you think, if they found out what ure doing, im pretty safe they will stop you. When I went to college I stayed in one of the nicer dorms but some of the older dorms had no AC and the wiring in there was definitely lacking. One of my friends actually melted the wiring with a 2 cubic foot microwave - don't assume dorms have proper modern 12guage wiring and arc fault sockets. We knowingly throw small children into metal cans (school buses) without seatbelts and send them down the highway. And now I have to worry about out most precious commodity sleeping in poorly-wired tinderboxes? Won't someone think of the children?! Well this wasn't some historic school from 300 years ago that might have had 150 year old housing - this was UCLA. Rieber Hall, for example, had a fire when I was there because somebody was running a full size fridge, speakers and amplifier, and a TV off of one outlet. That can't have been more than 20A off a 120V line - that's childsplay with ASICs. |

If you leave this board and head off to google land you'll run across scam after scam. It's better to just go to the hardware subforum and read the 20+ threads on the newest ASICs and get an idea of what these machines are like. Even if you came across the BFL thread you would find 10 angry people yelling at them. If you find BFL through Google you just lost your investment  |

Has no one mentioned this yet?
Unless you have insanely cheap electricity, it's time to shutdown at least your AM Blades. They haven't been profitable to run since before Spring. And the S1s are marginal at best. It's time to upgrade (not advised) or quit.
I still beat the electric bill by a good amount, but yes, equipment will be charity if I don't dump out soon. Well toss out the stuff that is that uses the most watts per GH/s (the most inefficient stuff is probably the blades). If you undervolt & underclock the S1s the power consumption will go down as well as the heat. They'll still hash a little bit in the positive. |

While the search function on this board might be frustrating to use, it does return result in most cases - you just need to do a little sifting. There have been about 10 threads posted in this forum asking about electricity prices. A simple search for 1 seconds would have yielded a thread with over 10 pages of responses.
So new people, please use the search. If you searched and can't find a good answer then feel to ask but please make sure you don't ask questions like that posted in the OP.

I was with bitminter for a while I swear it had the worst luck for a LONG period of time. This was about a year ago I think. You just keep thinking it will turn around, it has to, due to variance, but it just never seemed to get a long period of good luck to make up for it. I was happier when I left. That is part of the reason why you get everyone going to the BIG pools, because there should be less variance. It is a big pool problem for part time miners.
The solution to this is simply have CGMiner do load balancing and mine on multiple pools. The only problem would be that your income would be spread out but for people who are into mining this should not be an issue. You could mine on the #2-#6 pools and approach a virtual 40% pool. |

Being a phsycian who is really disgruntled with the current state of medicine I will throw in my 2 satoshi:
The study is retrospective and not the classical double blind model. The women diagnosed as dying from the cancer had to have a cause of death directly cited as being attributed to the cancer. If you take aspirin and you're healthy the biggest risk is bleeding. This risk goes up several fold for cancer patients, and goes up through the roof for anybody on radiation or chemo due to the internal scarring and the decreased platelet counts.
Aspirin is great as an anti-inflammatory. The problem with say "breast cancer" is that there are many different types. Aspirin, or rather anti-inflammatory medications should be a mainstay treatment in cancer regimens. Ultimately the patient would have to trust their oncologist to make a recommendation as to how to treat their individual cancer.
The article may not appreciate big pharm (and to be honest I'm disgusted with their direct to patient advertising) but the big pharm in the US are pretty much the only ones making the last 9 new chemo agents that did not exist 4 years ago.
Ultimately the cure for cancer will not be chemo mediators but rather cellular attack techniques which go back to molecular biology rather than biochemistry.
As a doctor what do you think of the possibility that ketogenic diets being helpful in treating cancer? I read an interesting article about starving cancers of glucose to stop growth. I'm not an oncologist so I don't know too much about the growth capabilities of malignancies. Certain organs in the body such as the human brain rely solely of glucose for metabolism (hence why you get lightheaded with low blood sugar). Other organs such as the heart rely on branched chains for metabolism. Each type of cancer is different since it originates from different tissue. The less differentiated it has become (as seen by doing cell flow cytometry) the worse the cancer is because it had gone back to being more or less a stem cell which can feed off glucose. So it might be helpful in a poorly differentiated cancer but usually people who have those have Stage III or Stage IV cancer and the battle is probably lost. |

Obama has been to CA 19 times. Each of those visits he has gone to at least 2 fundraisers. Not once has he discussed the aging water infrastructure that supports much of American's crop production. Not once has he discussed securing the border and preventing human trafficking coming from the border. Not once has he discussed why the most populous state with tons of resources at its disposal has the highest energy costs in the country (making Hawaii and Alaska look cheap) - he was happy to talk about Tesla motors because all the cool kids talk about that If it's not cool or doesn't put money into his party he can't be bothered with it. |

The death toll is not confirmed yet. The presumed initially that 52 had died onboard, now they are stating that they are stuck in the wreckage. Kind of hard to tell what is going on with a typhoon passing overhead though.

Of course you could sell your gear and go the cloud hashing route. Only thing is I'd recommend you stick with a reputable upfront honest site - don't jut go for the cheapest because it might actually be just scam/ponzi.
He has a wife and wants to make money, not donate it to some cloud mining company that will make profits at his expense. Going to cloud mining after selling his hardware is terrible advice and I'm pretty sure if he bought his own miners he's able to see that cloud mining is only beneficial to the cloud mining companies. |
