I've heard that it's the bitcoin miners also causing the hard drive shortage right now.

When you read the comments in the article, it's extremely easy to pick out the people who Apple is paying to make positive comments. They don't even try to hide it.

When my company mandated that people use complex passwords that change frequently, people just started putting them on post-it notes on their monitors because they couldn't remember them. Great job, guys.

Here is an article that has the whole e-mail thread that is at issue: https://www.vice.com/en/article/9ke3ke/famed-computer-scientist-richard-stallman-described-epstein-victims-as-entirely-willing Having read through it, the jist of the thread was whether or not Marvin Minsky "raped" Virginia Giuffre, who was one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims. Stallman made two basic arguments that Minsky did not rape her. First, Giuffre presented herself to Minsky in a manner that appeared to be consensual. Minsky should not be held responsible for the circumstances that let up to that point, especially if he was completely unaware of them. Giuffre was undisputedly a victim of Epstein, but how would Minsky have known that. Second, the definition of "rape" should not be dependent on the local laws in the location where the incident took place. Rape should be defined as an assault that has elements of force or violence. People shouldn't be demonized because of the particular age-of-consent laws in the Cayman Islands. BUT NONE OF THIS MATTERS! People should be able to have discussions about ANY TOPIC without being "canceled". If someone can make a coherent argument in favor or against a given position, then they should be allowed to make that argument. You can disagree with the argument if you like, but you cannot silence the person making the argument. This is a foundational belief of modern civilization.

I give it 10 minutes before people start using it for sex.

People don't seem to like it, but if it's a choice between Android and Ford's miserable proprietary operating system, I'd really rather that it run Android.

My eyes can see that it's "Hundub" but my brain keeps seeing "Handjob".

I like seeing innovation, but these panels would have to be like 10,000 times as efficient as earth based panels to make this project economically feasible.

You have to draw a distinction between "unease with science" and "unease with scientists". I fully trust the scientific method as a way to examine the universe around us. But, I do not necessarily believe that "scientists" are using the scientific method without bias and in good faith.

I got excited, but then read the article and they are talking about storage to tape.
