In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.

Square is renaming itself Block as it focuses on technologies like blockchain and expands beyond its original credit card reader business.
Jesus loving Christ it's bad enough that I went and got a square register system for my business before I realized @jack owned it :argh:

Etherium is doing another fork. This one looks to be about smoothing transaction fees and making miners obsolete. Maybe they will actually eventually make it "eco friendly" and instead you'll just have to convince the richest guy on the network your transaction is legit.:waycool:

I return to my ocean pod after retrieving milk and other essentials from the mainland. I slip a bit as I detach myself from the hovering drone, it's unprotected rotors that were screaming next to my head for the past 2 hours shift as it flies off in to the distance. I grope around in the darkness on the smooth, egglike roof of my home, trying to find the top entry hatch. Ascetics were the primary concern when designing it so the roof lacked any railings or lights, and all the internal lights were controlled by some sort of fancy sensors so the inside was pitch black. Eventually I find the hatch and the key, a ring I have to wear on my hand at all times to make the house do anything, unlocks the hatch and it pops open. Unfortunately it turns out I was standing on top of it and it very nearly flung me and my milk into the ocean 10 metres below, but I managed to grab on at the last second. I worked my way around the edge of the opening, feeling for the super fun and exiting climbing hand holds the designers decided to use instead of a ladder. I started to slowly ease myself down, climbing this was hard in the best of times, even worse while carrying something. As my hand with the ring entered the house the lights came on and in the living room my favourite song started playing. What I failed to notice was that the shower had started up too, and as the room gradually filled with steam the handholds got more and more slippery. Having detected that the ring was now inside the house the hatch decided to close with a loud snap. This startled me and my feet slipped on the hand holds. With only one hand to support me I fell the rest of the way down, my bag of groceries tearing open and the contents spilling out. I managed to land on my feet but the ground was so slippery I fell forward, landing on the toilet with my head entering the bowl. The carton of milk I had gone to buy flew through the air and landed on the handle, activating the incinerator and killing me instantly.


The moral of the story is to always close the toilet seat lid, good day

yes

Also, owners of the T-2077 watch will have a digital certification of authenticity using blockchain technology administered by the specialist firm, Arianee. This decision was to mitigate the risk of counterfeiting. Owners can transfer ownership by using the Arianee app.

that's it, that's the blockchain technology it incorporates.

also i like how the copy/pasted press release IGN published without editing includes completely worthless information like this

quote:

For the battery, it uses a model CR2032, with lithium manganese dioxide/organic electrolyte. It's 3V with a capacity of 220mAh.

thanks for telling me what a CR2032 watch battery is!

owners can also transfer ownership of the watch by giving the watch to someone else, selling the watch to someone else, or otherwise conveying the physical object from one person to another

or you can use the app, up to you

Guy I know exhorting me to get in early on Voxel X Network (or w/e the gently caress it's called) as a guaranteed pump and dump called me an idiot when I pointed that it seems weird that there is no info about it besides their website, zero, none. If I'd just checked their socials I'd have seen the crazy numbers (1.2k Twitter followers, 300 Insta, massive 78 Reddit) and unbelievably it's even busier on their Discord. This is what being "in on it" feels like!!! (???)
