I wouldn’t be surprised if it uses some of that money or its richly valued shares to buy startups or lure even more talent. After all, it’s done this before. It used its stock to buy hardware guru Jony Ive’s startup, Io Products, in a $6.5 billion deal, when OpenAI was in the middle of raising a round that valued it at $260 billion before the funding. OpenAI is now on the cusp of a financing t

British cryptographer Adam Back is the secret creator of Bitcoin, claims new report — Back refutes investigation, says parallels to Satoshi are just a coincidence

The hunt for Satoshi Nakamoto has circled back to a likely candidate, Adam Back, thanks to a New York Times article that draws striking parallels between the two. Back denies being Satoshi, saying it's all just a coincidence and confirmation bias on behalf of the reporter. The 40-page-long investigation goes over decades of evidence to try to prove otherwise.

Сделаем сами ретроавто в масштабе 1:5?

После моего первого двигателя, в голове стали роиться мысли о создании масштабной модели транспортного средства с настоящим функциональным мотором внутреннего сгорания.
