abiogenesis

I am not an investor myself but in the long run you would probably still win. In the short run people expect it to pull back a bit from the current (~$50K) value.

Still we could have used the same energy for other things that are currently running on non-renewable energy.

The "price" of two coins in terms of fiat currency is not comparable. It depends on the total supply. The current total supply of ETH is ~120M vs BTC's 21M. If ETH was limited to, say, a total supply of 1000 coins the price would be astronomical.

Also ETH doesn't have an upper limit to the total supply, therefore its scarcity is not the same as BTC.

If it's not your private key, it's not your money. So yes, if the exchange doesn't come back up you can pretty much write it off.

Those are not fingers (at least not in English).

Not trying to keep arguing but I wouldn't call it "bustling" with an Alexa rank of 261,156. I don't think anybody who doesn't know the print magazine would know about their web presence.

I disagree. It might be confusing for someone who doesn't know Hustler (the magazine). It sounds unlikely but I'm not sure if younger generation know about those print magazines.

"The founder of Hustler" would be less confusing.

Accurate, obvious, hence not very useful.

Yes, hence Py-metrics.

Good one. C64 games almost always required a joystick though. Maybe ZX Spectrum game programmers?

Mine was a sarcastic comment but whatever.

It is ironic that transistors are (kind of) made of sand too.

We'll then switch to something else, or maybe back to Linux.

There is also the Star Commander [1] which supports Commodore 64 disk images and physical drives using the X1541 interface [2]:

It's worth noting that Midnight Commander started as a clone of Norton Commander [1]

The marijuana purchasing power of USD is not the same in every country.

My point still stands. I wouldn't call someone who buys a vintage Omega instead of a Casio "cheap ass".

That sounds like an oxymoron.

I guess what the OP means is that one definition of memory is that it is generated by your experiences. In this case the memory is the lack of experience (with a spider), because those genes keep you away from spiders. So it is possible that you can develop the RNA without seeing a spider, hence the opposite of memory.

I don't think there was an architecture to speak of in the first place in your case.

I think you misread this sentence:

> In it, the company claims that The Wirecutter initially picked NextDesk as an editorial recommendation but later downgraded the recommendation after NextDesk declined to set up an affiliate-revenue agreement.

These are NextDesk's "claims". Wirecutter does not acknowledge them. According to Wirecutter this is what happened:

> Without the editorial team’s knowledge, NextDesk and our business team exchanged communications about setting up an affiliate agreement, and ultimately NextDesk declined to do so. That fact was never communicated to our editorial team until NextDesk itself made it known to them by email in November 2015, long after the new pick had been made.

Update: I'm not saying that I'm buying it; just clarifying their response.

It's only 25x per dollar (initial investment; not running costs):

> In 1998 the Electronic Frontier Foundation built the EFF DES Cracker. It cost around $250,000

> The system that you're renting time on is over $100k in specialized FPGA hardware

True, but the cost hasn't changed by the same magnitude:

> In 1998 the Electronic Frontier Foundation built the EFF DES Cracker. It cost around $250,000

> The system that you're renting time on is over $100k in specialized FPGA hardware

Type hints?

Note that the case was designed by Rick Dickinson, who also designed the original ZX81 and ZX Spectrum decades ago.

Sorry, to be clear I was referring to an xckd comic [1] and the Python Easter Egg inspired by it [2].

It's very easy to make alcohol at home. This would only function as a nuisance for the responsible drinkers.

Strongly urging the OP to see a doctor could be a better option instead of recommending a specific medication.
