Any sufficiently large company is a tech company, and any sufficiently large tech company is a bank. I'm pretty sure I originally heard that here on HN, I can't seem to track it down though. Seems to only have gotten more and more

This is incredibly naive. 1) As other posters have already noted, these miners have economies of scale already set up to dominate any fork that still utilizes the SHA hash. Changing the hashing algorithm would be akin to creating a whole ne

Crazy how Obama said that and then immediately did the bidding of those same CEOs. Almost like he was playing both sides or something.

This also doesn't take into account that most of the energy used to power/charge these EV cars is coal based, which is orders of magnitude more dirty than burning gasoline.

Drawing your argument to its logical conclusion, those that act on such impulses based on their genetics and instincts are less evolved than those who don't. Sounds like something a plantation owner from the antebellum south would agre

Gates also acts as an economic enforcer for the IMF, quite literally using his charitable giving as a carrot/stick to force nations to accept policy decisions and often crippling loans from the IMF. But you don't have to take my w
