I had a former co-worker who was a big DevOps nerd and he mined about 50 BTC just for fun back in its very early days. And then a few years later was kicking himself for basically throwing it away ordering pizzas in Cali for 5 coins apiece.

This is a fun premise that is completely ruined for me by the fact that it’s kind of intrinsically an ad for cryptocurrency
Like the Superbowl?


Pretty sure Google can afford to handle… checks math… All of them.


Should be called Middle-Out? That was the algorithm IIRC. Pied Piper was the name of the startup.
Either way, funny shit.


Can it cancel out if your bathroom is in an accelerating reference frame?


Is your username a Black Books reference?


Good, good. Next, tell me there will be a 3.5mm headphone jack, swappable SD card, and user-replaceable battery and we’ll be golden.


What is France doing that the resentments exist?
former colonial powers
Probably more of a question of what did they do that isn’t worth resentment, based on how colonialism has historically operated.


Whoa, ok thanks I appreciate the warning and details! I’ll try the existing server route first then. My friend has a domain name we could use but it’s not that important.


Mind elaborating a little? I have one community to switch but haven’t started at all yet.


I assume they’ll do the same as the auto industry and banks and get huge government bailouts once investors start demanding returns. That way all us taxpayers can make sure the scammers at the top don’t have to spend one second worrying about giving up their lavish lifestyles.


Yeah. Sturmabteilung (SA) aka brownshirts is technically the more accurate comparison.


I think a lot of it might’ve been Chinese but… wait, actually that makes it super American.


I’m struggling right now to think of any group of people with less excuse for ignorance of how radical fascists wield propaganda and extort for political power than central Europeans.


Umm maybe you should go back into the shower and find a better thought 😆


Guess what? The modern state of Saxony (aka Upper Saxony, Obersachsen) is not even contiguous with the state of Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen). They’re separated by nearly 300 km.
Although to be somewhat fair they are connected by Sachsen-Anhalt. And basically all of northern Germany was at one point called Saxony (“Old Saxony”, Altesachsen), at least by some others in the first millennium.
Of course history is funny; The lands of Upper Saxony weren’t part of the medieval Duchy of Saxony that followed, despite eventually taking the name (via “Electorate of Saxony” and then “Kingdom of Saxony”).
But anyway the “Anglo-Saxons” were probably really from Denmark and northern Schleswig-Holstein. The southern parts of their region might’ve been called Saxony at the time.

Damn. If they deleted NSA or CIA data they could have been heroes. Deleting FOIAs and people’s equal opportunity cases is just shitty.
