Exchanges of over some amount of money should be supervised by a third party just to check it's not a scam - how hard could it be? I can't believe there are no safeguards for people...I can't believe it wouldn't be worth

Absolutely! I find it nuts to see so many people defending giant corporations - it's so backwards.

No - what is being explained is that you need constant electricity, and wind and solar are not constant, so you need a way to skim the "extra" energy when it's made, and to being it back in the system when there's no win

I'm sorry, in two years they upped their revenue by over 10b - from 19 to 28b - I'm fairly certain they are having record profits. (Google doesn't release numbers for youtube's revenue, so that's the best number you

Isn't it Youtube's problem to make their business profitable? It's not a binary - they could offer a different deal with Premium, market it differently. Customers aren't rational - just like humans. They are a massive mu

Kinda off topic - I'm not a dev at all, I'm wondering how inefficient it would be for creators to self host their videos? How necessary are the youtube servers? Other than that I see that the algorithm has some value in showing yo

Wow! I was going from their comments on the leaker being fired after this leak being done - I imagine the site has a roster or something? Or a bounty program kind of thing? Edit: hadn't read the full thing - it's just a guy that s

Thank you - that makes a lot of sense, I figured something was wrong from the tone of his comments on greenhouse gases, but couldn't put my finger on it.

Thanks - just read a couple articles, and price increases at this time are because we are overproducing electricity until some contracts take effect with the US - I'm seeing that all the comments about it being a private-public partner
