False dichotomy... electronic transactions and bitcoin are hardly synonymous.

Relax, we'll be back to banging the rocks together in the ruins of our cities before then. I think most people are grossly overestimating the rate of progress vs. the rate of environmental collapse.

Is it a waste to burn CPU cycles, to have a chunk of entropy to wave around so that you can possibly buy shit? Yes.

Based on statements such as "depressive episodes" and such, it seems in this case more like people with complementary disabilities. His body struggles, her mind struggles, they can each support the others' "weakness&quot

I mean... something like a battle over fulfilling your life's purpose, according to certain religious/philosophical points of view. Most religions have a concept of internal struggle, and most cults are just slight retellings of p

Depends on how/when you're getting/spending your electricity. If you're just running your mining operation out of your home, during daylight hours then you'd probably be about right. Presumably mining successfully h

“My vision is to buy a large piece of land and start a new city with all of you…As with everything I will succeed.” Run roh, bit of a flashing red warning sign with hints of Jonestown.

Not surprising though, given that said dissonance allows for profits to be pursued.

The big concern I think, is the insane use of electricity, which is manageable for now, but could really go overboard in a hurry.

That’s an almost psychotic level of unfounded optimism, all founded on being a relatively rare “winner” in the system you describe. That of course probably goes some way to explaining your equanimity with its indefinite continuation a the e

The people leaving tech for farming are not mucking barns, they’re managing farms and hiring people to do the hard work. Think of more as a new-plantation, rather than a farm. I worked on a horse farm as a kid, and like you it was backbreak

I don't know, if this is some kind of sophisticated multiple-beam system using constructive interference ( https://xkcd.com/1922/ ), it might have more penetrative ability than you'd assume.

Yes, microwave energy can do pretty much exactly what you're saying, and perhaps other forms of radiation could directly activate nerves as well. It's also possible that if the brain damage includes auditory processing then it cou

The argument that the companies are lying about how unfairly they’re being enriched, and claims about the abusive, addictive nature engineered knowingly into loot boxes and similar Skinner Boxes are really quite separate. You’ve only addres

...And then see those measurements independently reproduced over and over, and does the result offer fundamental insight into the universe we occupy?

Those are some incredibly disturbing, unequivocal sexual asssults.

That sounds incredible, and I’ll find a way to see it soon I’m sure, for all of the reasons you’ve said.
