I read it too and the way he backs it up makes sense.
Re:China’s Military Is Catching Up to the U.S. on Thursday October 20, 2022 @11:11PM (#33284031)
China's strong points:

-China's military has hypersonic missiles that evade most defenses

-Chinese attack drones can paralyze communications networks

-China's naval ships outnumber America's, including 3 aircraft carriers

-China has 2 million serving members vs. 1.4 million US soldiers

-Cyberwar capabilities can disrupt US infrastructure

Considerations:

-China lacks combat experience

-A top-down command structure could make them less flexible to improvise on the field

-40% of training involves studying the Communist Party rather than training

-Untested modern warfare efforts of joint military branch execution

-General lack of readiness based on red vs. blue team exercises

-Shortage of high-quality talent based on standardized admission tests

There's very interesting stats in here. Thought I'd share.
What's the use case for these high end graphics card? Is it for professional use or do gamers actually buy this? Which games require such high end graphics?

Seems that the priority of the Web3 constituents is shifting from playing games to earn vs. actually looking to play these NFT games for fun.

Do you guys think this space will grow?

Curious to have a discussion on this.

Re:Facebook's Legs Video Was a Lie on Thursday October 13, 2022 @08:40PM (#33198345)
Dang. I didn’t watch the event, just followed headlines and was under the impression that the legs were already developed.
Re:Trying to build the mother of all financial trackers on Wednesday October 12, 2022 @03:30PM (#33181877)
I think this is very cool. I haven't used financial trackers lately. But I do remember one frustration I had with Mint.com was the inability to edit the categories of certain transactions in a wholesale manner and then adding rules for future instances. This was like 5-6 years ago; it could be fixed right now.
Re:Another $100M+ Crypto Hack. When will they learn? on Tuesday October 11, 2022 @11:50PM (#33172603)
This time it's one of Solana's largest DeFi protocols. Are these guys asleep at the wheel? I wonder if these hacks can ever be fully prevented.

Now I feel better about using a password manager.
Re:SEC Investigates Creator of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs on Tuesday October 11, 2022 @06:49PM (#33170278)
Seems that the SEC is getting its hand into all things related to crypto. Not sure how they'd classify these NFTs as a security, unless maybe Yuga Labs promised owners income. Hopefully they don't regulate the industry to death. However, appropriate regulation could be very good for the industry.
