Clean energy sources are the cheapest [0], and they get cheaper with every new investment and innovation. The competition in Bitcoin mining is global, which means that it becomes unprofitable for everyone to use fossil fuels when profit mar

Yes, it requires production of mining hardware, but just for adding new hashing capacity to the network. Major part of the mining cost comes from energy, and I believe that in the long run even more so. Energy efficiency of mining hardware

Consensus in both of them is based on unforgeable costliness, to make it economically unviable to create alternative histories. In PoW, the costliness is based on production and consumption of energy. In PoST, the costliness is based on pro

Energy production is a problem, if it's produced with fossil fuels.

PoST is a step in the wrong direction. It doesn't address anything, because energy use is not a problem. PoST consumes natural resources and produces e-waste, which is way worse than just consuming clean energy and producing heat, wh

There's also Anchor, which is the third piece of this Ponzi. Anchor promises 20% yield on UST, and this is what generates demand for UST. However, the yield contains risk which is hidden on purpose or not generally understood. Ponzi sc

You mean niacin, specifically? There's also the niacinamide (or nicotinamide) which doesn't cause flush. Both are Vitamin B3.

It's very profitable to create a token, pump up the price and run with the money, rather than building something actually useful. Combine that with the fact that it's incredibly hard or impossible to build something useful on a bl

Bitcoin is hope. It sounds weird, but it's actually the solution to all of these problems. The corruption of centrally governed monetary systems corrupts all incentives in the world. For example, if people are more conservative about c

Yes. Everything happens through trial and error. Intelligence is an illusion.

Good movies and TV series won't probably be produced any more, ever. High budget productions just won't make a difference to their bottom line. There is so much content produced already that it's more profitable for streaming

I feel that we don't know the full picture of the chip shortage. Is the demand actually up that much, and why? Or is there someone secretly buying a huge number of chips (military, secret crypto mining)?

You can't get rich with bitcoin any more. That's a good thing and also separates the people who believe in better money, from the "get rich quick with crypto" types. If you believe that Bitcoin is better money, then you

This is one of the problems with proof-of-stake, although the attack manifests differently and is much slower. Someone can borrow money, and pay higher yield than the normal staking yield, to buy staking power and change the rules to their

That's not true at all. In theory, a perfect market will self-regulate. No one buys or sells from scammers and they are naturally outcompeted from the marketplace. However, in real world, markets aren't perfect and that's why

Ethereum is a dead man walking at this point. I hope it dies as soon as possible. Ethereum is the worst thing that happened to cryptocurrency. It diverted attention from what's actually important, brought all the scamming in the space,

I don't think it's a free speech issue. It's just a scalability / UX issue arising from the problem that 100,000 people are trying to communicate in the same room, and 99% of those people have nothing new to add to the c

There's a strong causal relationship between regular exercise and mental well-being. Start by doing one push-up. Do it now, not tomorrow.

That's pretty accurate description of me. But I don't think it's that rare, especially for startup people. It's kind of expected for people working in small companies and especially solo founders.

It's not very well designed. I missed the whole tutorial and was very confused. You can use roll or block to avoid attacks. Just watch the stamina bar. If it runs out, then you can't roll or block any more effectively.

Why don't let customers decide? Just require manufacturers to be more transparent. I've argued long time that most regulations could be replaced with mandatory transparency. Manufacturers should be open about their quality and lif

I used to think that way, but I've been lately trying to get into more gaming and found a few non-boring games. Most games I abandon after the first try, but there are a few exceptions, namely Resident Evil Village, Control, and Doom E

Did you miss the tutorial? You said 'training pit', which should be it. It literally tells you what to do. Basically, use target lock, roll when enemy attacks and then try to hit.

If you're worried about Tether, then you should be worried about the whole financial system. It's not very different from Tether, and that is one of the reasons why Bitcoin was created in the first place. "The Times 03/J
