Oh you checked the numbers for me? Oh darn. If rent is rapidly going up and purchasing is more and more impossible, I guess the only natural conclusion is everyone making mid six figures will all be unable to live in homes any more. Maybe e

I'll stick with never. Rents keep dropping. It's almost like it's... pure speculation with no fundamentals. Surely that can't be the case, otherwise rents would keep dropping! Oh no!

Sure but moving by rail emits more greenhouse gas _now_ as opposed to less now later maybe more. Plus there are way more rail accidents like this one from 2013 killing 47 people and destroying a town: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#

Supply and demand. I think of demand as people looking to live in homes, not investors. If that was the case, demand should have dropped off a cliff after covid when they closed the borders. Our countries have negative birth rates. Immigrat

Same in Canada. I am in the top 3% of wage earners in the entire country and can not "afford" to buy. Average price is > 1 million. At > 1 million, a 20% down payment is required in cash. That would basically take my well ba

I guess I was trying to say its efficiency breaks down and isn't competitive with basic electric baseboard heat at some temperature below zero celcius (not sure what the break-even point is). I didn't think people in Alaska would

Yes so now 20 million people (very small amount) install these space heaters, heck install 3. Now they are at equilibrium except the mining difficulty has gone wayyy up (because 20 million ASIC miners will double the global hashrate approxi

Ah I see what you meant by "work can't be useful", apologies. But I think you did jump to some conclusions for example, increase of difficulty does not require more miners. It is a side effect of miners joining. So the profit

That sounds really interesting but isn't that useless because at that point you may as well use geothermal. Doesn't the exchanger need air to flow over it hence the fins for it to work? I think geothermal is the biggest win enviro

I think you need to research more. A computer is actually a heater that is 100% efficient. If you actually "waste electricity" to do useless computation, you still get 100% efficient heat output. 1000W of electricity pumped throug

I commented above but from my understanding heat pumps are worse than baseboard electric heaters when the temperature outside is below zero celsius (assume the air is exchanged outside) because the fins start to ice over due to condensation
162.
by beiller 5y ago
Not really. Heat pumps can't be used in cold climates due to ice forming on heat fins which breaks the efficiency. It's why we use a lot of baseboard heaters in Canada. Bitcoin mining would be perfect for electric heating of homes

I think, assuming the vaccine is effective, vaccination only one group like what is happening in a small set of countries, will have a negative effect on the goal of eliminating a virus (is this the goal?). Supposedly allowing the virus to

Not entirely accurate. From the top article in your search: "Among the vaccinated population that has had two doses, 57 percent was given Sinopharm, while 43 percent was given AstraZeneca."

If everyone's bank account balance goes up by 50% uniformly, lets say one person has 100,000 and another has 10,000. After the increase they now have 150,000 and 15,000 respectively. But the low end item costs also go up due to inflati

There was also the Seychelles data point which had the highest vaccinated rate and then had a large outbreak after.

Here's an idea just report your address on your tax return. Problem solved?

No you still are misunderstanding what I'm saying. The text on the exchange for me is like "We charge 0.05% fee on all withdrawals NOT INCLUDING the transaction fee to send to your wallet".

by beiller 5y ago
No I'm not confusing it. My exchange and all other exchanges charge a fee to withdrawal money. Its usually quite large.

I don't think there can theoretically be a run on the exchange because in theory all the deposits are there, in the exchange, in theory, unlike a bank which only had a fraction of the deposited money in reserve. A run on a crypto excha

It's a good point what if the governments and fed just continue on this path forever. Is there any downside? I guess no one can purchase homes and live in cities anymore. But rent is still cheap. I guess it would create this sick twis

Isn't the source code for Dogecoin essentially abandoned for the last 2 years? I'm surprised a vulnerability hasn't come up like some mining denial of service etc.

Yes Canada just surpassed the USA cases per capita (in Alberta). I think personally it is incorrect to attribute case numbers to political leanings or even figureheads. How can we argue that one candidate is more "science" than th

Would it be more if we consider the radio boot time to send a tx, and the amount of bytes sent to apples server? Also what happens if I'm at the air port with 100 air tags in range? I know they try to piggy back the data transmissions

OBD2 is what I'm talking about. Required by law. But guess which auto manufacturer has the port accessible, with the pins only outputting power and ground today ( no data )? It's a new trend. Data now is sent wirelessly over a pro

Here's a hack I do when I'm running a tight loop. In something like a video game at 60 fps, print is useless cause it spams so much in the terminal it's unreadable. So I use my hack: If math.random() > 0.99 print(debug_ms

I think it's fair to say cars today are packed with more and more full blown cpus since 2010 onwards and so much of it it just junk. Maybe partially due to safety regs like mandatory backup cameras but android auto and car play? Notice

I think car manufacturers have been specializing their chips and electronics more and more to avoid 3rd party servicing and now we see the fallout which could still be a win for them. Just jack up the prices! How about we standardize the ch

Yeah sorry I meant negative birth rate. But my assumption of negative growth is based on post covid, since border flow is severely restricted and people are just avoiding moving for the last 1year+. So I have assumed negative growth since c

But in almost all 1st world countries, the demand is shrinking (negative population growth in all countries). Not to mention the top heavy population in Americas that is approaching EOL (Baby Boomers) which will rapidly shrink the demand in
