Digiconomist adjusts to the average green energy production on the grid and averages out among countries that mine bitcoin. They detail out their math to arrive at their numbers.

If you're buying a vehicle to save the planet from unnecessary pollution, but use a payment that it unnecessarily polluting the environment... you... don't see a bit of a problem?

Just to throw it out there. We all do realize laying down either glass or copper is expensive per mile. Replacing old infrastructure, per mile, is even more expensive. Add in just how incredibly large the US is compared to other countries..

Damn I hate saying this... but, to be fair to the pharma corps... ugh, I feel sick for saying that... manufacturing vaccines isn't like making plastic cups and straws. I'm in no way qualified to explain pharmaceutical production

I want our future to be more focused on getting rid of class warfare and inane divisive rhetoric. Political red herring lip service crying about the statistical chances of a pronoun being used by a company that randomly created their data n

I agree with your logic 100%... but are SpaceX's rockets ITAR? I legit dont know. If they were eventually going to hold a nuke on the tip or used as Space Force transpo, I wouldn't bother asking. I just haven't heard DoD inte

The real bias here is the cherry picking to showcase a narrative. The point that ML is just a statistical machine would be apparent if they put beautiful and handsome side by side. 51%+ of the time, beautiful is associated with women. 51%+

TLDR, you're right. Here's the math to prove it. I did some research into this a few years ago. Here's what I remember. Most of it is easy to search for to verify, just slightly time consuming. Broad brush strokes here to get

In your description, what's the difference between an NFT and a gag USD million bill with Bush, Obama, Trump or Biden's face on it? This makes it even harder to understand why anyone should care. Hell, it starts to make the people

That's a fair explanation. A crypto token with a supply of 1. But here's the problem. And? This takes the idea that anything has value only due to scarcity to such an extreme, it's laughable. So much so, people thus had to tr

So wait... math was never really done long hand in ancient times, but calculators (the abacus or any other form) were used instead? In some respects, that makes sense. Paper like materials were never cheap and long-hand math uses a whole lo

I just wanted to have a casual, nerdy discussion of math god damn it. That's all. How did this turn to a politically correct issue already?

Regarding the general sentiment at the time. For the most part, if the average person never watched the news, they wouldn't know who was president at a given time. Hell, in the past 2 months, following CNN, it's hard to tell if Tr

Yes and no. The format of numbers is important to how you end up manipulating them. The way we do long division with 3 or more digit numbers cannot translate to roman numerals. A different method is required. This is part of my point. No on

Right, yes, sorry. I'm just a casual to the history of math. My bad.

I've yet to see this brought up, but I hope a wandering historian might speak up about this along with reference a book I can read more about this. Wasn't the marvel to Arabic-Hindu (edit) numerals the math system behind them? Bey

Folks get fired online in a public fashion over this stuff. That's the mob's power play. Companies research a person's online activities to see if this person is going to be dangerous for their brand image. This person can no

For whatever reason, this reminds me of that guy that salted a steak all weird and people lost their minds. This was right after Trump was elected and there were riots... general chaos in the world. Yet, some dude salting a steak egregiousl

And pure "logic" is a fallacy within itself. Mass starvation and pandemic deaths are extremely to justify the moment you believe human life is worth zero. Vaccines are the enemy because the planet will have a net positive with the

Pretty sure the, "depends what you think makes us human" line was used by quite a few folks to justify enslaving and slaughtering various ethnic groups throughout history. Since they were lesser or sub human.

Um... you mean a bigger dystopian horror, right? The idea of mass manufacturing humans simply to harvest their organs, even as meat sacks, is a bit of a moral and ethical... uh... dumpster fire.

I realized a day or two ago what this nft scam smells like. If you're old enough to remember, there was a company that "sold the naming rights" to stars. The perfect gift, name a star for someone. Except this naming right was

You don't have to stand there and do nothing when beans or a lot of foods are on a stove. Plus, I don't get the fascination of cooking "single" portions the last decade. The amount of time it takes to cook one portion of

I appreciate your response, but dude, you're just performing mental gymnastics that avoids saying, "NFTs solve nothing". In Kanban and Lean systems management, NFTs and crypto provide zero value to the producer or the consume
