Just adding my own data: I’ve been living next to a train station for a few years now, I’d say that freight is insanely more noisy than passenger trains, 100% of the time. I live in France btw, so it’s all electric trains.

We've spend the last 2 centuries burning fossil fuels from the ground, significantly increasing the atmospheric CO2 levels. Capturing some of it back won't make a difference for plants. Also, when you burn methane, you release CO2

Let's say I have a string S. MD5(MD5(S)) = Y Now, I find a collision string SS (of length 128 bits, like an MD5 hash), where MD5(SS) == Y Then I find a collision string SSS (this time, length doesn't matter), where MD5(SSS) == SS

twice as difficult ? It doesn't match what you say after that 2²⁵⁶ = 2¹²⁸ * 2¹²⁸ So, isn't it rather 2¹²⁸ times more difficult ?

Bitcoin is using double sha256, just in case someone is wondering. Though I wonder if double sha256 makes it twice harder to break or if it's better or lower than that.

Congrats for trying Linux again, I'm sure it will end up paying out ! My 2 cents: the best DE when coming from Windows is KDE. Kubuntu (ubuntu + KDE) is joy. It has a windows 7 feel, and is very customizable and stable.

No, you're wrong. The issue you're describing can't be exploited on Ledger devices at least. (Source: I’m a contributor to their bitcoin transaction parsing code) Their hardware wallet checks if the provided change output&#x2

The impact on land is not small, you need quite a lot of concrete to anchor panels supports to the ground. Also I wonder how the soil will evolve under solar panels, with less light hitting it. Probably better than when farmed, but worse th

2 ideas to limit costs: Make it a 2 tier plan: free tier is text and images only, paid tier adds audio/video calls Remove the need for phone number verification I'd be happy to pay 10 bucks a year for Signal.

That's true, but there's ongoing work about this to add some kind of plausible deniability to all transactions. There's also privacy coins like Monero where this problem has been solved already. Many institutions then banned

I disagree with your first point, Bitcoin let has let individual transact freely for a decade now. Sure, it has a hard time scaling but apart from that I think it's doing great on this point. Could you detail what you had in mind if yo
