Definitely in WA state - certain counties with hydro plants sell power locally at ~$0.02 and sell outside the county at ~$0.2. They changed the definition of local after crypto miners flooded in to limit exploitatiom and boom/bust spec

The GM of BIS can declare that all they want - banks are powerful entities within the US and won't go down with out a fight.

Beyond the bombastic (and admittedly difficult to stomach) opening, there are definitely concerns with any CBDC. However, this article doesn't discuss the more likely outcome - not a CBDC issued by the Fed directly, but rather a hybri

It also limits how large an economy can grow and how fast it can do so - so the oligarchs more easily remain oligarchs.

As a follow up, the first steps of Project Hamilton (the exploration of how to build said CBDC) were also posted. It is a collaboration between the Boston Fed and DCI@MIT: https://www.bostonfed.org/publications/one-tim

Amazon (as well as others) are desperate to fill roles - everyone is up leveling quickly, and they didn't have the comp to match. This is why they've roughly doubled their salary cap.

Yes. In a narrow technological definition of "final", you're right. However, not in the societal or legal sense.

If you saw the "technosociolegal" position at the top, you'd appreciate a broader perspective. Why is the couple who held the bitcoin from the hack being prosecuted? How were those funds being unwound if the transaction is fi

I wish he would have delved into the cost of finality or reversals - this is a core driver of the cost of an entire system, either in time or in money.

If it truly is a dollar (which seems like what they're aiming at given UTxOs, etc), there's no recourse for the dollars (tokens) themselves - much like dollars today.

The thousands of stolen artworks from DeviantArt being turned into NFTs beg to differ.

Different tax treatment. Locking up to buy something with the loan doesn't expose you to gains.

Why do you assume the price is determined by the open market? Who are the large scale crypto entities that would bet against Tether? This happens every time the price dips, but the current best explanation/theory is that Tether prints

For my part, you can't declare "we're building this outside of the bounds of the legal system, but we're going to lean on that self-same legal system when it fails". You have to pick between outside and inside the l

I was speaking directly to the well complex, not any future power plant. The EPA is definitely involved in that.

The EPA doesn't have a dog in this fight - the feds don't have much of a role at all, unless it is on federal lands of a particular class that would trigger special protections (ie National Park). Piping gas across state lines can

As an extension to the soap, there are single squeeze detergent bottles now that precisely meter on a one handed squeeze. So simple, yet phenomenally useful.

Sure, but it would more likely be a reader for the keys you hand to someone on the SD card. Unlikely though - the physical representation of crypto has been tried several times, but trust and key ownership is hard.

The latter IIRC - up until recently, if you had 1/128th Korean ancestry or more, you were disenfranchised.

This sounded interesting to me as well, so I did some digging - the system is deterministic, as far as I can tell, but with lots of hidden and random information: https://wildermyth.com/wiki/index.php?title=Writer%27s_G

I cannot agree enough - we always used to say the best robots aren't called robots, they're called washing machines and dishwashers.

There are many popular things that are not in the public benefit, usually things that have socialized losses and indeterminate assignation of costs.
