Is there a video of the actual talk?

Could you give a couple examples of such missing features?

I could totally see a sort of verification@home distributed effort to help test open-source CPUs.

What's "unbalanced" about the 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 arrangement of numbers? And how is "primes" superior?
US population median age is 39. Fatality rate for people under 40 is <0.2%. Fatality rate of people aged 60+ is >3.6% [1]

So, no, 1.4% and 0.06% sound about right given the age difference.

Huh, I knew I saw this Spolsky vs Shkreli Excel mastery comparison. Thought it was just a dejavu, or something.
Power delivery by a motherboard might be a problem, too.
Re:Why SQLite Does Not Use Git on Wednesday April 11, 2018 @08:16AM (#16810305)
There are couple projects that try to tackle this problem by providing an alternative CLI (on top of git's own plumbing), like gitless and g2. Haven't used any of them myself, but would be interested in experience of others.
Now we need a decentralized SEC, or some sort of crypto/ICO-centric auditors.

bcrypt and scrypt are inherently salted.

I don't know about scaling, at least technology wise. Their trading web interface maxes out my CPU core at just 4-8 tx/s. And that's usually the time of big movements, exactly when you don't want trading interface to freeze up on you.

Yep, zoom out a bit more and this recent dip is not that bad. https://cryptowat.ch/kraken/usdtusd/1d

But still, I'm a skeptic too.

Re:SpaceX performs static fire test on Falcon Heavy on Wednesday January 24, 2018 @03:40PM (#16226099)
Ok, I guess "static fires" are not the same as "engine firing". I was expecting something like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=976LHTpnZkY

But why was it so short?
Is there any significant difference between MH-Z19 and MH-Z19B?

This post on reddit would be a good place to get understanding of the current LN status.

I've just made a bet it's dead cat bounce. Let's see how it goes.
Have I missed the link to the actual leaked 132-pages white paper?
Do you mean 40 percentage points? In other words, tripling?

What do you use integrated graphics for on VMs? Genuinely interested, I haven't used VMs beyond web dev and occasionally trying out some new distro of Linux.

Instructions for private buy dosn't make sense. Transaction id is public, so anyone can write them and claim a transaction is theirs.
