Somewhat ironic question, but as ETFs holdings of BTC continue to grow, is there a possibility that the custodians of those ETFs start to have a backup plan for ETF holders or create an alliance to push a fork forward? The management fee those companies generate is non-trivial, so they're incentivized to stay ahead of this.

Now, of course, the irony here would be traditional finance infrastructure winning out over decentralized, which could definitely deal a psychological blow to BTC's perceived value... but it's something I've been thinking about lately as this existential threat rises on the horizon.

What I find impressive is that he somehow managed to renovate this property for only $2.7M?! Including 350 helicopter trips over two days!

Serious question: why is it hard to make small, anti-drone missiles? I assume it needs to only be within X distance of target and detonate to disable a drone.

And it's also called "Autopilot" which sets an extremely different tone and expectation than other driver-assistance/safety technologies.

Once I connected my calendar I actually had trouble distinguishing my real meetings from the decoy meetings. Impressive and frightening.

I'm surprised by the design of "her" avatar and the site. To me, the digital artifacts give it a slightly frightening and negative feel. Am I alone?

HAProxy absolutely can support an HTTP response code health check, but in my experience out of the box it just makes sure the port (say 80) is open. I learned this once the hard way and will never make that mistake again... ;)
