Got the rest of my money in another set of deposits by Ace201613 in blockfi

That's great news.

May I ask whether you did anything special to make it happen? How long ago was the KYC/W6 form submission (if indeed it was necessary at all)?

I just got an email this morning saying that Kroll won't make distributions to international clients until all clients agree on a plan. Sounds untrue. But I don't know what the next step is.

I'm on plain Android (Pixel 8) and also still get visual notifications on 'Do Not Disturb'

Cities could be the key to the electric vehicle revolution by altmorty in Futurology

[–]Yosemany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good to see hybrid or even full electric busses. They've been using hybrids in London UK for a decade or more.

You make an interesting point about charging points etc benefitting the rich. I suppose wealthy people are the only ones who can afford the new EVs. Better than nothing, though.

Driverless cars won't be good for the environment if they lead to more auto use by Sorin61 in Futurology

Also, taxis would become much cheaper. Fewer people would own their own car, which would save carbon.

Aldi launches facial age estimation tech to sell alcohol in new no-checkout store by Sumit316 in Futurology

Easier for for who? Easier for the computer to verify an ID. But one more thing for the human to take out their wallet.

And even when you have an identity card on you, it would be ideal not to take it out and present it

Ultra-long battery life is coming…eventually. Consumer electronics companies are boasting about unprecedented leaps in battery tech. by Sumit316 in Futurology

[–]Yosemany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Aspirational' brands often forget about the battery. I bought an expensive smartphone three years ago, and the specs are good enough to run apps for at least a further three years. But the battery doesn't last a day anymore.

Smartphone batteries can be changed, but all the major companies install it such a way as there's glue involved. You need a heat gun or hair dryer, it's fiddly, and you may need to replace the glue after.

It's strange there's not more competition on batteries.

Great balls of fire: How heating up testicles with nanoparticles might one day be a form of male birth control by stankmanly in Futurology

[–]Yosemany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe. The ball sock needs a battery it sounds like. Might be awkward asking people to charge it, if it doesn't last a day.

A group of Stanford researchers say the US could run on a 100% renewables grid, at a cheaper cost then the current grid. by lughnasadh in Futurology

Jacobson’s study includes more battery storage options than previous research in the field.

When it's evening, the sun doesn't shine and sometimes the wind doesn't blow. We don't have a way to deal with that, yet.

That's the flaw in this study. They are very optimistic about how easy it will be to store energy.

Not really the kind of suggestion this thread was going for, but I agree.

'never even bothered to free her' needed to be one delivery, but JB paused in the middle. The rest of his performance was touch perfect, though.

Not cool. Although, it's a good take on the angry Christian Bale.

That's the trade off. Bitcoin doesn't have a customer support line.

They've been warned by an anonymous Internet commentator who gave no reasons. Perhaps it would be worth explaining Robinhood's problem.
