Decent article about decentralised storage and maidsafe is mentioned in a relatively positive light.
Edit: just realised it is pretty old, but popped up at new… I’ll leave it here anyway.

SpaceX’s Starhopper rocket managed to successfully “hop” on Tuesday afternoon, August 27, with the Starship prototype hovering about 150 meters (492 feet) above ground for several seconds before touching down on a nearby landing pad.
This is what I imagined spaceships to look like as a kid and here they are… just not from another planet.

Watched that.
Someone who filmed 1.5 miles away caught one of the thrusters flying off the top after landing. Shouldn’t be an issue for the test since they are rigged on something that won’t be there in the final design.

Countries like India and Mexico can sometimes feel a bit scary to a light skinned European. I never had any serious problems, though. I was mugged once in the USSR, but that’s it. But when it comes to the US of today, I don’t even want to apply for a visa.

If other countries would apply these rules to Trump, he would be denied access.

This is true in Europe as well. When I applied for an Estonian e-citizen, the authorities wanted my Facebook, etc. …

I suppose having none makes me suspicious too. I could give them 1000000 real email addresses too. They’d have fun finding anything on them though.

I didn’t know this! Could you post a link to an article or something?
I’m a citizen of Finland, and visas aren’t usually a problem. In my experience most countries are pretty safe as long as you have nothing to do with, say, drug and avocado cartels in Mexico. And stay as far away from the police as you can. Common sense goes a long way. I was popped over the head with a bamboo stick in India for smoking a cigarette in the street, but then the cop just walked away, so no biggie.
Flew from France to Ireland recently, wouldn’t normally announce it on a public forum, not on social media of any kind, but since not only my passport were checked but also pictures of my face taken with no justification or explanation I guess there’s even less reason to pretend there’s anything private about the whole thing. Eager for a world where actual privacy and security in communications forces us to re-evaluate the importance of privacy, more power to the devs!

Unless those buildings are for ants, this thing is a lot bigger than it looks.

After years of tackling numerous design and manufacturing challenges, MIT researchers have built a modern microprocessor from carbon nanotube transistors, which are widely seen as a faster, greener alternative to their traditional silicon counterparts.
The MIT researchers have invented new techniques to dramatically limit defects and enable full functional control in fabricating carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs), using processes in traditional silicon chip foundries. They demonstrated a 16-bit microprocessor with more than 14,000 CNFETs that performs the same tasks as commercial microprocessors.
