I would be surprised if they did not have a back door in the chip's firmware but so far nobody had found or talked about it.

They can intercept post de-encryption data if they hack the firmware during design period and get access.

Hilarious

Indecision is suppose to be bad but it is probably a natural response to possibility of poor outcome.

It all depends on the risks.

I have seen several versions of it in the movies which were easier to interpret than the novel.

Few months ago, I even saw a Korean version called The Burning on netflix!

That movie was based on the Haruki Murakami short story “Barn Burning,” though it did reference Gatsby directly in the dialogue

Yes it did mention the Gatsby. The author was obviously interpreting the psycho-thriller angle by design.

The privileged versus unprivileged; being trapped and unable to achieve the dream and living with unfulfilled desires...

I watched Burning and Parasite as a duology, both have very similar themes about modern day Korea. I'd suggest you watch them back to back as well.

Great minds think alike! I have seen the Parasite too but few months before the other one.

The Parasite has won an Oscar I think.

Hair thin anything can look transparent though. I seems to be paper thin.

As building products go, I believe rot resistant glass infused wood as a substitute for pressure treated wood is a more useful product specially in humid regions.

From the article, the process involves 1mm thick pieces of wood. But it's reasonable to assume that a thicker plywood could then be made out of those 1mm thick pieces and would maintain a lot of the translucency.

even if it's not completely transparent and can not be used in a window, it could still be useful as a wall material to let some of the daylight into the house.

Looks like they worked with 1-1.5 mm balsa. sheets. You could make this into plywood. Would be interesting to test this with denser timber.

Especially since it appears to diffuse the light, which is actually desirable in some cases.

DNA testing should be double blind. I have no idea if it is.

Sample contamination can be arranged before sent to the lab though.

How are they cashing bit coin to eat?

The conversion has occur somewhere or they whole world has to accept bit coin and participate in tax evasion schemes by being so called unbanked.

There is limit to bit coin usage and alike and they will eventually hit the limitation and regulation.

The unbanked people are not buying Tesla. They will pay the tax.

Yes but once they are used for tax evasion and underground economy they can become worthless in hands of people that deal with it as a legal asset. Governments can regulate any asset class.

To an unbanked! person in Los Angeles? In a black market?

It is taxable in your hand as well as theirs. So any tax avoidance agenda makes the trade illegal.

Lol and who will punish it? Love this thing, might be the thing that saves the world from collectivists.

Participating in illegal activities does not make the coin more valuable but rather makes illegal transactions possible and criminalized the bit coin trade and hence soon it will become regulated.

So it is not like a bank transfer which is legit.

Your first statement is flat out wrong. Illegality is actually a driver of prices in all sorts of activity. See drug prices now, alcohol during the Prohibition. (Also, and this is more of a style and culture matter, learn about run-on sentences. They're one of those things that got cut in us-landia colleges.)

Obviously, it is "not like a bank transfer". Then again, that you personally have never seen anything like it, makes no difference in its actual legitimacy or usefulness as a medium of transaction.

What is the monetary benefit for Tesla when accepting the bitcoin currency ? Is it going to charge more in bitcoin?

Is Tesla using it as an investment thing? Is it for publicity? What is the benefit?
