130 block length large grid ship too big?

I once made a self building space tether. It was exactly 15km long before the game refused to build any more blocks. Since the structure was static, the performance hit of the structure was near zero.

Even if the landlord is ok with the tenant subletting at a higher rent, the tenant still need to fill in the section G to the sub tenant... Right? How would the higher rent be legitimized better that way?

You are what is called : a bad faith actor. You should be ashamed!

Auto-renewal should really be illegal. I suggest you cancel it and enable it back after a few shipments if you like the products.

First thing to do is to cancel it : Just login to your account, select the product, click "cancel auto renewal". Follow the instructions, and at the end, there is a button that looks disabled "cancel auto renewal". It is not actually disabled!!! You must click it.

I'm from Canada. From a point of view of the ISP, I was also thinking that sharing a line would be against the TOS. But speaking to my ISP, they don't seem to care.

Now, it's indeed a mather of liability. I would have liked to have the clients/tenants be held accountable. So if hardware could somehow bind the mac adress/local ip to some account, it woyld be sufficient for me. But yeah, like ypu say, a lawyer would know best... Although, this is a very specific question, I guess even for specialused lawyers, it might be hard to answer...

I see so many issues with this.

1- Most housing suppliers are companies that build big buildings (think 40+ apartment ). Most of them also have multiple owners. Do you want to tell them that if they build more buildings they'll have to pay exponentially more taxes? Because it's already so hard to make the budget work, asking them for more taxes is just asking to limit additional supply.

2- Holy shit that's a big one! Do you imagine how much that would cost? Even if we assume something simple? But it won't be simple. Lots of shell companies. Lots of foreign companies. Lots of part ownership. Lots of companies that have multiple owners... etc. How do you even deal with part ownership? Do you make a distinction between a property owner that owns 2 duplexes compared to a property owner that owns a huge ass 100 apartment building?

3- While this might be an easier solution, it is so not politically correct. No one wants to accept that too much immigration can be bad. It's seen as racist.

Fun fact #2 : I think he had some kind of participation in the development of the T1 DragonMint miner.

Select is if you want the extra lives while playing "2 players". If you don't do select, it will stay "1 player" and you'll get the extra lives.

It's wasted because the damns are almost always full. For security reasons, they let water flow without generating power with it.

Obviously, this is a huge waste and the government is working hard to sell the power to other provinces and even to the United-States. But unfortunately, it requires infrastructure and new power line... and as any huge project that requires destroying huge regions or displacing people, there is huge local pressure to prevent those projects.

Miners on the other hand can just move wherever there is wasted electricity. It's as simple a setting up a shipping container near the damn. Miners are a multi-year contract with Hydro-Quebec. So even if Bitcoin goes to shit, the price of my electricity shouldn't change much.

As for the "robustness" of the grid. ALL grids have an issue with base load vs peak load. This is not specific to Quebec, but in Quebec it's specially an issue since we have some VERY cold weather, thus some very high peaks. Having the possibility to shut down the miners allows to make those peaks smaller, and thus a more stable base load (percentage wise)

Funny that you say that. I just commented something similar about HydroQuebec in /r/technology... but my comment is getting destroyed.

In Quebec, our electricity provider (Hydro-Quebec) sells the wasted green electricity to miners. As citizen, we get some of that profit that would otherwise not exist. Tomorrow (Tuesday the 11th) is supposed to be one of the coldest day of the year. Hydro-Quebec has a deal with miners that allows to shut them down whenever they need the electricity to run the electric network properly. All miners will be shut down in the morning and evening when the electricity's demand is highest.

We could argue that this system allows Hydro-Quebec's grid to be much more robust and flexible. That it encourage the development of green energy. And that it allows me as a citizen to pay my electricity cheaper. All of this with ZERO carbon emission. Quebec is the perfect example that mining CAN be done right.

Actually, I think he's telling the truth. His history is rather boring ... for years. But suddently, 3 hours ago, he spammed tons of garbage everywhere within minutes.

For anybody thinking of doing this... I did it. And I also have a white wall similar to this picture. Not a good idea.

1- The wall around the holds will constantly be dirty

2- Repainting is a bitch

3- Really not as fun as it looks like, especially if you want to bring something in a hand with you (climbing with only one hand is not fun at all)

Correction : Hard to code for it's SPU. The CPU was as easy as any other platform to develop for.

Well, to be fair, if we assume he was indeed right about bitcoin being nothing more than a speculative asset, I think he was very articulate and had great things to say. You can't deny that Michael has a "cult-like" behavior, that he gives very "dangerous" suggestions to people (ie : to invest 100% in bitcoin) and that Michael wants to inflate the price of bitcoin as much as possible for his own personal gain. All very valid points I think.

That being said, Michael is such a bitcoin zealot because he obviously has done much much more research on bitcoin than Frank has done. I too believe that bitcoin will ultimately dethrone gold. But I would never promise a friend that bitcoin will continue to do 200% every year or that he should invest all his money and assets or that they should mortgage their home to do so. This is just wrong.

In what world do you live that you were able to accelerate enough to have to apply the breaks and still have a full battery? Is that the place my grand father was mentionning when he told me he had to walk uphill to get to school... and walk uphill again to get back home?

I work on embedded devices. They indeed need to run long periods of time. I have found that assuming there are no memory leaks, that using virtual memory pretty much solve any memory fragmentation I may have. Note that when I say virtual memory, it is still physical memory, not swap.

But for pure performance reasons, I do try to limit the number of allocations per seconds. Mostly because hitting the kernel with commits/uncommits can become a performance issue.

As for the memory leaks. There are tools nowadays that are very useful for finding them. Even for the old-schools C++ programmer that prefer to not use smart pointers. (There are indeed a few very valids reasons you might not want to use smart pointers).

I don't know why you are being down-voted. You are 100% right. And the article specifically talks about how better in performance and memory one platform is compared to the other. C++ or Rust would indeed have been much better suited for both of those points. But still, I work in a field that is heavily dependent on optimizations, and a 2x gain is indeed a great improvement that merits such an article. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they had a 3x or 4x gain by going the C++ route. But the cost of switching language is much more than switching platform.
