I invested $50 in Bitcoin in 2022 - here's what it's worth now after a record rally

zdnet.com David Gewirtz 2026-02-03 17:55:00

ZDNET Welcome to Hot Bitcoin Summer, 2025 Edition. It's July 14, and Bitcoin is on fire. Turns out that when the President of the United States is bullish on a fake currency, it takes off. Then, when the US Congress declares "crypto week," cybercurrency speculators get that warm, squishy feeling that makes them think good things are about to happen in their imaginary world of bits as bucks. In honor of all of this and because my eyes popped when I checked my own investments this morning, I'm

A Donkey Kong movie is a safe bet for Nintendo’s growing entertainment empire

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2026-02-03 22:40:17

It’s looking like Nintendo might have a DK-sized addition to its feature film lineup. The company has filed a copyright notice for a motion picture listed as an “Untitled Donkey Kong Project.” And last month, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said in an investors call that the company was working on more movies, explaining that “although we cannot discuss our plans beyond The Legend of Zelda movie at this time, we are working on various other projects.” So even though a Donkey Kong movie isn’

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority TL;DR Google Contacts could soon allow users to show or hide read-only contacts synced from connected apps. The new feature aims to help users troubleshoot issues like duplicated contacts by revealing otherwise hidden view-only entries. Most users likely won’t need this enabled, but the switch offers better visibility for those who occasionally need it.

Concurrent Programming with Harmony

Appendix H. Peterson's Algorithm In 1981, Gary L. Peterson came up with a beautiful solution to the mutual exclusion problem, now known as ``Peterson's Algorithm'' [37]. Figure 5.6 presents the algorithm. Why does it work? We will focus here on how one might go about proving mutual exclusion for an algorithm such as Peterson's. It turns out that doing so is not trivial. You have to understand a little bit about how the Harmony virtual machine (HVM) works. In Chapter 4 we talked about the concep

From Outer Space to Your Router: Here's How Satellite Internet Gets You Online

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-04 14:00:00

The satellite internet space has only gotten more competitive in recent years, thanks to the rise of Starlink. Now that Amazon's Project Kuiper has successfully launched LEO satellites to kick off its own service, we only expect the conversation to grow from here. Despite the popularity of Starlink and the growing power of its 7,000 satellites, satellite internet is generally considered a last resort for home internet, due to slower-than-average speeds and the steep costs of equipment.

Arial is everywhere. If you don’t know what it is, you don’t use a modern personal computer. Arial is a font that is familiar to anyone who uses Microsoft products, whether on a PC or a Mac. It has spread like a virus through the typographic landscape and illustrates the pervasiveness of Microsoft’s influence in the world. Arial’s ubiquity is not due to its beauty. It’s actually rather homely. Not that homeliness is necessarily a bad thing for a typeface. With typefaces, character and history a

Hypercapitalism and the AI talent wars

news.ycombinator.com John Luttig 2026-02-04 02:09:34

Meta’s multi-hundred million dollar comp offers and Google’s multi-billion dollar Character AI and Windsurf deals signal that we are in a crazy AI talent bubble. The talent mania could fizzle out as the winners and losers of the AI war emerge, but it represents a new normal for the foreseeable future. If the top 1% of companies drive the majority of VC returns, why shouldn’t the same apply to talent? Our natural egalitarian bias makes this unpalatable to accept, but the 10x engineer meme doesn’

Five companies now control over 90% of the restaurant food delivery market

Some of the earliest known businesses -- ancient Mesopotamian traders -- inspired the invention of writing. (Record keeping -- now that's a competitive advantage!) Similar needs have existed in every economic period. The big difference now is that AI technology can boost these efficiencies in new and exponentially profitable ways.
