news.ycombinator.com Decrypt 2026-01-27 15:51:51

In brief In August 2010, someone exploited a flaw in Bitcoin’s code to create 184 billion Bitcoin. The bug was quickly corrected by Bitcoin’s anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The person behind the "value overflow incident" exploit remains unknown. Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub. Discover SCENE There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin.

After crossing $112,000 on Wednesday, Bitcoin has barely paused.

The direct-to-cell messaging service, called T-Satellite, will also be available to AT&T and Verizon cellphone customers. T-Mobile says its goal is to "eliminate mobile dead zones for good" by way of 657 Starlink satellites that'll be used exclusively for cellphone service.

It’s hunting season in orbit as Russia’s killer satellites mystify skywatchers

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-27 22:30:47

Russia is a waning space power, but President Vladimir Putin has made sure he still has a saber to rattle in orbit. This has become more evident in recent weeks, when we saw a pair of rocket launches carrying top-secret military payloads, the release of a mysterious object from a Russian mothership in orbit, and a sequence of complex formation-flying maneuvers with a trio of satellites nearly 400 miles up. In isolation, each of these things would catch the attention of Western analysts. Taken

Best Carpet Cleaners: I Used Real Life Messes as the Ultimate Test

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-28 06:45:00

The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is the best overall carpet cleaner I tested. It was the only carpet washer that effectively removed pet urine and pet odors from my carpet. It also came in second to the Tineco Carpet Cruiser with tough stain removal. But for $300 less than the Tineco, its price-to-value ratio is unbeatable. Why I like it: While the Tineco Carpet Cruiser edged out the Bissell HydroSteam on the tough stain removal test, the Bissell blew away the competition on pet odor testing.

Underwater turbine spinning for 6 years off Scotland's coast is a breakthrough

Keeping a large, or grid-scale, turbine in place in the harsh sea environment that long is a record that helps pave the way for bigger tidal energy farms and makes it far more appealing to investors, according to the trade association Ocean Energy
