Fair enough.

Just be sure to keep lubricated while you permit all that sliding.

These are the kinds of highly plausible suppositions that I come here for.

Well, I don’t know much about the resolving power and maximum refresh rate of human vision but I’m guessing that the monitor they described is close to the limit.

The analogy refers to someone who has their thinking constrained to the current situation. They didn’t imagine that computers would become resource-intensive multimedia machines, just as this person suggests the cable wouldn’t be asked to carry more data than would be necessary for the 8k monitor.

I can imagine a scenario with dual high resolution screens, cameras and location tracking data passing through a single cable for something like a future VR headset. This may end up needing quite a bit more data throughput than the single monitor–and that isn’t even thinking outside the box. That’s still the current use case.

Do you have a crystal ball over there? I still think it’s a clever analogy.

640k of RAM should be enough for anybody

You’re not pushing the button fast enough.

*after seeing some other comments, I want to clarify that I was being sarcastic.

Isn’t this basically how the first batch of Teflon was created?

Now hold on there, I’d let them do the ads and the vehicle tracking bs if the car was nice and it was free.

If I’m buying the car, there’s no fucking way.

I choose the second option. Can I borrow $20?

Do you know what’s better than roses on my piano? Tulips on my organ.

You’re all mad because you lost money investing in bitcoin when it was pumping and then selling during a crash. Don’t worry, it’s safe with me.

I know you’d like to characterize it as dumb luck because that would make you feel better. The reality is that I’ve been making small monthly bitcoin purchases for the better part of a decade as a part of a much larger retirement fund.

When the btc price hit $100k, I sold most of the initial investment so that now I’m just risking losing part of my gains.

You can call it lucky and incredibly stupid. I can call it calculated risk.

Yes, there was. Thank you.

Finally someone who knows what theyre talking about, with an actual valid criticism.

They didn’t buy it all at once. The price dropped between then and now and they were buying. Wikipedia has an entry on it.

I’m not an expert on El Salvador’s bitcoin, I just know you all sound like a bunch of sore losers.

You seem pretty smart. They should probably put you in charge.

I agree. No currency or store of value has any true value until you go to spend or exchange it. It only has potential value.

You do realize that Dollars also are also constantly changing in value.

I can’t say I understand the bitcoin hate in this thread. I have very real, realized gains.

Your meme should say, “I love working for minimum wage at Wendy’s”

What’s the point you’re trying to make here? You seem mad about el salvador’s bitcoin experiment. They made a little of money on their little investment.
