Why does the state of Alabama keep trying to invent new ways to kill death row prisoners rather than just shooting them? It's that easy. Just use a firing squad.

Really hope chemical engineers start working on ways to filter out PFAS and similar compounds from water and preferably neutralize or destroy them. Hopefully on a large scale.

What if you made a blockchain for waffles? Investors please contact me if you want to get a 1% stake in my WAFL whitepaper for only $3,000,000.

Thinking about getting a new phone with eSIM. It just seems so much more convenient for international travel and/or carrier flexibility.

I refuse to use the PayPal stablecoin with a built-in rug right there in the badly outdated and insecure Eth smart contract. Who are they trying to fool?

Some researchers have already figured out the best way to simultaneously scale Bitcoin's transaction throughput and implement a post-quantum signature scheme. Essential reading.

"Budget sequestration"

"Fiscal cliff"

"Debt ceiling"

They are fooling us. Fiat currency isn't real. These words have no actual meaning.

Room temperature superconductors aren't real and can't hurt you. Until they are. At which time they will be used to build quantum computers that break all current widely deployed public key cryptography and the hurting will be massive.

A real laugh from people who apparently don't even believe in capital letters!

I wonder if there is a computational class of problems which is easy for a quantum computer to compute forwards, but hard to invert, while also being hard to compute forwards on a classical computer.

Statutory law is subject to judicial interpretation. Nearly every case that revisits it adds further precedent or undoes a previous precedent so its meaning shifts wildly over time. Even supposing that judges are impartial, they're not deterministic processors that give you the same computational result every time. Therein lies the fundamental fault of your analogy of law to code. Government cannot and never will be reduced to a set of algorithms.

Don't scan my retinas! Don't scan me, bro!
