It will become a fad when subsidies dry up. This appears to be happening in China.

"...This evening, Genesis Global Capital, LLC (Genesis) filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11. This is a crucial step towards us being able to recover your assets."
So Gemini is helping depositors of Genesis, or depositors of Gemini? If depositors of Gemini, did the depositors know that their monies were going to Genesis when they deposited them into Gemini?

Brings up a question: what is the chance of blaming some of this on an "innocent" coding error? Can you get jail for not writing unit tests, swallowing an exception, a type conversion you did not expect?

"Pilot Glenn Ashby successfully sailed the team's wind-powered craft at a speed of 222.4 kilometres per hour on Sunday — in 22 knots (40.7 kph) of wind."
I am sure someone has already explained this elsewhere on HN, but how is it possible for a wind-powered craft to travel faster than the wind?

A bike. (If you really want to know - this: https://www.merida-bikes.com/en-au/bike/3127/speeder-100).
7am early morning ride before work, then ~ 2pm in the afternoon. Both around 1 hour, often longer.
My whole mood lifts the closer I get to ride time, and for a whole hour or so afterwards I am buzzing and I seem to write my best code. I never get stressed any more. I am fitter than ever with no sore knees or bad back or any other stuff I used to suffer when I was running. I sleep really well.
I am 54 and I live next to a dedicated bike path that goes for ~4 hours in two directions. I work almost exclusively from home in Brisbane, Australia.
