I think it's the other way around. The parent said that they too were gonna take a nap so the toddler would.

The trading floor or the actual exchange.

Because if it was the exchange itself I would be able to turn on the news right now and it'd be like the second 9/11. That thing is crazy protected.

I think ~~0~~ EDIT: I meant to say the total asset value.? I'm not sure. I think the number came from total wealth as an object, not total net worth.

That's not correct.

The average wealth in this country is ~250k a person

Any judge would very much like to know where the prosecution got text message logs, contact books, etc. It was only a matter of time before they were outed.

You live in the united states right?

One gift cards should never expire.

~~They don't. It's illegal.~~

Two you should have the right to cash it out and every fucking penny off of that card.

Money laundering.

Third and last no fucking fees that eat away at the balance.

~~Also illegal.~~

[–] LodeMike 3 points 1 month ago

I would.

Companies generally don't fuck with the law on that level.

At that point you should be able to just write the code yourself.

The A"I" will either make mistakes even under defined bounds, or it will never make any mistakes ever in which case it's not an autocomplete, it's a compiler and we've just gone full circle.

Just as a reminder that even if you turned an entire atom into pure kenitic energy, you wouldn't even see a flash.

Math stuff:

So E = M c^2

I'll choose a carbon atom because it's a round number (don't think about that statement too hard)

So carbon has an atomic mass of 12 atomic mass units. In grams (divide by Avagadro's number) is 1.992 E-23 grams.

Shove that into E=mc^2 and you get 1.790 nanojoules, which is 4.974 E-16 kilowatt-hours. Or at 12¢ per KWH is 5*E-15 cents of power.

So to power a 500 watt gaming rig, you'd need to burn about 20 nanograms of carbon at 100% efficiency, per hour.
