I think most miners (i.e Chinese ones) are using hydro which is already more sustainable and flexible than nuclear or coal.

The way it works is that your electricity provider company buys the amount of electricity you consume from renewable electricity producers. It balances out and it's equivalent on average to you using only renewable electricity. Multipl

It's argued that in some cities public transport systems the price of the ticket doesn't cover the cost of its own infrastructure, the machines to buy them, the ones to validate them the salaries of the agents verifying, etc. It c

AMS is currently a very typical option as there are links between Amsterdam and all major French cities. I used to take the LAX-AMS-BOD quite often before the pandemic.

Crypto crashing means a lot of people selling, hence a lot of trades, hence lots of money for CB.

This reminds me of the guy that outsourced his own tasks to devs in lower income countries and got all the free time. I imagine you needed to create a entire persona with linkedin presence and all to get the junior hired for remote work.

Isn't that the same as discord audio channels? I'm also confused about what clubhouse is or why it's popular.

There were similar debates in the 90's when the first modern electric cars came out, regarding the fact that they were very silent compared to other cars and could cause pedestrians to cross the road without realizing a car was coming.

If you assume you are 100% getting the virus maybe. But if you take a lot of precautions, work from home, don't get out unless necessary, wear a mask... it's not clear at all.

Youtube also has very different quality within the same language. For Brazilian Portuguese (easier variant to parse) recent videos are decent (if it's normal speech, not songs or fiction) but I found some from 2017 where it was garbage

Most people in the Netherlands and in France have themselves been on a bicycle within car traffic, I feel that's more likely the reason why they are careful when they overtake a bicycle, rather than the fines.

I came to the same conclusion. The certificates for stars are still sold by the way. Someone created an NFT of the periodic table of elements where you can "collect" and "own" the elements. I wouldn't be surprised i

Interestingly it's now quite similar in number to Catalan, which after all these years is still not an official EU language despite being spoken by ~10M people (~4M natively) in multiple countries.

I understood that but you can have several instances of the same asset on a single immutable chain, for example Ethereum.

I think the point of the OP is that you need a central authority to define which copy of the contract is the one with the "authentic" asset.

This is not about the immutability of the chain. You can create various collection contracts on top of the Ethereum blockchain, independent from each other. If you want to verify that I'm in fact the owner of the Nyan cat NFT you need
