I have not dismissed the possibility there is a conspiracy. I'm only calling out that asking a leading question like this doesn't add to the conversation at all. There is an incredible irony to accuse me of providing no rational w

What good would transaction value per day be? This is like counting your salary twice, once when you earn it, once when you spend it, lol.

>We should focus on the important polluters, not minor consumers Do you feel the same way about causes of death? Imagine saying "who cares Cystic Fibrosis kills x people, heart disease is worse!" Also, other consumers like ceme

Ah yes, the "this is obviously a conspiracy" defense despite offering no evidence of such a conspiracy at all.

The worst kind of criticism about scientific papers is when people say "but the paper that didn't study this topic, didn't study this topic!" Would you expect a paper on COVID mortality also discuss heart disease and ALS

Right, other things have huge damages too. Pointing out other things also have an environmental impact just dilutes the discussion about Bitcoin and doesn't add anything to it.

I was not being sarcastic. Those things are harmful.

by jf22 6y ago
So what are you saying, that because other things are also bad we can't have a discussion how bad one thing is?

by jf22 6y ago
I don't understand why you would feel as though this reply says anything. There is always something worse or has alternative consequences.

This is such a meme'y reply that boils down to pure whatabouism.

I love how most of the criticisms of this study amount to saying putting the word scientific in quotes and calling it a day.

Right, and all those things are harmful to the planet.

I've aligned my side projects to be climate focused. I spend a lot of time and money building a website to encourage people to pack less when they travel. My impact may be minimal, but I feel like I'm helping.

I use a simple Word or Google Doc to keep notes. I label action items as TODOs and it's up to people to track theirs and get them done. You can't solve a lack of follow up with tools.

I don't mean to be sarcastic. Thanks for sharing your personal experience, but can I ask if you understand that perhaps you are not like the majority of people with regards to your weight?

The only way to manage this is to quickly identify which information you can ignore. If you ignore the wrong information, you'll find out quickly enough when people remind you how important it is. Focus on doing a few things well, and

A lot of developers skip right over the phase where they respectfully seek clarity about a difficult situation right into "speaking up" and lambasting their manager for perceived slights. Those are the situations where "speak

So we'd build energy production away from where people live just to mine a digital currency?
472.
by jf22 6y ago
Yes. Renewable doesn't mean without a carbon or other cost. All energy usage and production takes resources from the planet.
473.
by jf22 6y ago
We always have to take into account the usefulness of what we spend energy on. It's not as simple as calling out the top energy users and saying we should start there.

Remember, the earth is burning. Crypto is a huge environmental issue.

We are talking about fee's that already happened. We can't go back in time and pass ethics laws.

Ok, but that doesn't address the reality of the situation or the question.

What should the going rate be for the former fed chairman? There aren't many of them so the is a resource scarcity. I'm not trying to suggest 700k in speaking fees isn't a bribe, but how much of a bribe is it? I'd speak

Would "financial regulation professional" be better?

by jf22 6y ago
I think a better question is do you have to be productive and focused all the time? I'm in my late 30s and I've found you need to embrace the non-productive periods of time as part of life. It's impossible to maintain the sa

I'm a engineering manager in charge of hiring who writes production Blazor on the side. I'm assuming you are asking this question because high-fidelity UI is not required for whatever you are building. If you need a fancy UI, then
