I did this for a few years and would recommend 1 (smallish) suitcase + 1 backpack.
As mentioned in the article, it’s better (financially and socially) to stay in locations for a medium length of time. If you do this, then the overhead of a single suitcase is very minimal, and you get far more flexibility with clothing - particularly if you’re staying in colder areas. E.g. NYC in winter.
The value will be in the utility of the stablecoins. These will be high trust, 1-1 backed, and fully audited. i.e. Much more than just a db with multiple hosts.
If you want to be censorship resistant, stick to decentralized blockchains (ethereum + bitcoin). There's still value in Tempo vs traditional payment rails - (much) lower fees, faster + 24/7 transactions.
> I don't see anyone in the real world using blockchains at all.
Many companies are using stablecoins for cross border transactions, and for payouts in countries with volatile currencies. There's clear value for these use-cases.
This wasn't a result of regulator scrutiny. The issue was that MS (owner of Copilot) was demanding access to the IP (due to their existing agreement with OpenAI), and OpenAI was resisting. In addition, Claude blocked access to Windsurf, which also damaged them as an acquisition target.
Intel are catching up and will likely launch their 20A node before TSMC 2nm. Intel's 20A also includes gate all around and backside power delivery, so I don't think it's accurate to say Intel are 'stagnated' any more.
I don't understand how alternative research makes you a crackpot. If she was presenting her theories as fact without evidence then perhaps, but I haven't seen her doing that.
Overall, she comes across as a very clear communicator with criticisms (rightly or wrongly) of some current research.
For non-Londoners, it’s worth pointing out that £8 for a pint is exceptionally high. In most smart pubs in central london the price for a regular pint is approx £5-£6.50. And you can get pints for approx £3 in centrally located Wetherspoons (a common pub chain).
I think there's good evidence here: Teslas consistently have high review scores, and are selling in huge numbers. E.g. The Model Y was the top selling car in the world for Q1 this year.
Edit. The 'top selling car' figure is contested (see below) and depends on how you define single model. However multiple news sites (including reuters/The Verge etc) have reported this story without retraction. We also have more recent stories saying the Model Y is the highest selling car in Europe for H1. Whatever way you look at it, these cars are selling very well.
