I am not saying everybody in military is "just working there". Some may genuinely believe they are doing something noble or at least necessary evil. But some enjoy shooting, killing, torturing people. And some are just taking the

Agreed. But while BTC consumes a lot, so do hundreds of other kinds of activities that are also by themselves insignificant. The pain of CO2 production should be felt by every consumer proportionally to what they consume. We need to fix ove

0.1% percent is pretty insignificant, it is 1/1000 of the world electric energy production, and that contributes only around 30% to total world C02 production. Blaming and cancelling insignificant activities leads nowhere. And it'

18 year olds men are mentally immature. Not children, but for sure they are teenagers.

Why did you enlist, at what age? In retrospective, do you think it made you stronger/more mature? Or was it a money thing?

> Why should these two men's consciences bother them? It would bother me, so I'm projecting. But good points. I am also more inclined to understand this as a case of people "just working here". Like Germans were.

Glad I'm not alone here. I can respect people in 2nd WW thinking "I believe they are evil and must be stopped and I will do anything to help that goal". I can't respect "I'm just working here".

Yeah I get that point of view, "I'm here just following orders, no hard feelings". And that is part of what is weird to me in these stories from wars, that people are so malleable and empty and later talk big about respecting

It is so weird that men in army are willing to go and kill each other and later behave as friends "because they have a shared experience". Is it a coping mechanism to help oneself' conscience? Or maybe just an example that we

Yes big players can buy electric energy cheaper than the small guy (or even be paid to consume). Impact on consumer prices or CO2 production is very small and the blame in CO2 production is shared with the producer. So if there is a problem

The energy consumption of BTC is minuscule when compared to total electric consumption and its physical/economic effect on power networks is similarly minuscule. Yes, it consumes and contributes to CO2. So do other electric energy cons

If BTC mining and related operations were halted right now as you wish, by what percentage would the CO2 production decrease? By 0.1%, inconsequential. We need to focus on decomissioning coal/gas power plants and combustion motors for

It is not, because 1) it is quite a small part of total electricity consumption (around 1/30 in U.S.), and 2) it is unlikely to be cut down, due to more and more people on the planet and getting higher standard of living. Important act

It could easily support launching dedicated media player such as mpv or mplayer. I wonder why this trivial functionality isn't part of any browser.

Whoa, shots fired (joke). Seriously, I think when such a show reaches certain level of quality one does not need to pronounce one better than the other. They are so good they are worth your while. Of course, if we focus on specific aspects,

Very fake, forced and the overall script/narrative is pathetic with some minor bright moments. STD looks to me to be more like a political bidding/propaganda piece than a science fiction TV show.

That is a surprising characterization. I could not watch Lower Decks, it was stupid.

Btw they did similar mistake in the reverse, where some no name crew character dies and the surviving crew stars are completely oblivious to it, "yeah whatever, we do not really need him, let's move on". I like how one ST fan

Protagonist means "the main representative". So there can be only one protagonist. By the way, it seems to me Expanse does not have a protagonist.

Exactly. 4th season felt superfluous/boring. 5th gets back to basics. Maybe a little repetition (razorback, nuke, Mrs.) but it is fun.

Good question. The obvious errors were 1) artificial scarcity - too small address space leading to a situation where direct connection/communication between members is impeded by various NAT schemes; and 2) too naive attack-susceptible
