Astrophysics can’t take credit for satellites and GPS those were built with the primary incentive of guided munitions and have little to do w outer space. The field has become something like a crossover between a religion and a cheap tabloid

Maybe stop manufacturing drugged candy? Edibles can be in a form unappealing to children. We don’t really need a little treat

This is a direct attack on the dollar. Now in California your money is worth less if you have more of it. Let this precedent slip and and the wealthy will simply leave the state. Well more than they already are

Any court eventually will decide if he’s Satoshi based on if he has access to Satoshi’s private key. CW can’t do that because he’s not Satoshi. But he knows the real Satoshi is aware that coming out now is a death sentence, if he hasn’t already died or been killed

Wait, this kid didn’t do anything illegal. They can’t detain him at airport security on behalf of the airline to resolve a civil matter and they definitely can’t legally force him to buy a direct ticket. He’s free to leave at any point in the trip and is certainty not obligated contractually to complete it. I’m pretty sure he can and should sue for being wrongfully detained and intimidated into paying twice for the same trip in order to set a precedent. Maybe we should even start a gofundme to help him do that

It’s never that clear cut. If Theranos had a little more time they could’ve finished the product and significantly reduced the costs for medical providers, which would almost certainly have meant many lives saved and a boost to the economy.

Was that intern sincerely trying to help the world? I doubt it. Self interested and opportunistic. Having lived in Berkeley for a few years I know how twisted their crazy political world view is. Those people are radicals and totally untrustworthy.

So, if you look at most successful companies they did the fake it till you make it to a degree. It’s a necessary strategy sometimes. Had Theranos succeeded it would’ve disrupted a major industry and that made Elizabeth Holmes a lot of enemies. These SJWs are useful idiots. They’ll do your dirty work for a little virtue signaling opportunity

I feel for her. Should have thought twice before giving an internship to one of those Berkeley SJWs. Lost a 9 billion dollar company and all those talented people fired.

I doubt fairphone or framework will survive long enough to fulfill these promises. It’s a good bet for them to make. If they go under just write up a “sorry guys the world is mean and we meant well” apology page. If they succeed they’ll pass the job to some cs intern.

I did as well contacted Oracle for access to the latest UltraSPARC parts and documentation but they never got back to me.

I also became obsessed w SoC design when OpenSPARC was released. For some reason the T1000 was a really big deal for me
