It's mostly due to ambiguity. Think of it like a directory, you can't have a file with the same name as a directory in a path, because operations on that name and path become ambiguous.

Everything that we do, like using the internet, is still consuming massive amounts of energy and resources. From manufacturing the computer(s) you are using, to networking.

Energy consumption for example is the number one cause of CO2 emissions, not transportation, and certainly not the food industry.

I spent months working on a Lisp project in college. I pretty much hated it.

Some people (myself included) don't like the aesthetics of Lisp as a language, nor do we like the enforced functional program structure, nor do we like the lack of infix operators. Maybe I "didn't have good enough teachers," but for every other language I've ever learned I didn't need those "good teachers" to achieve a strong level of mastery, and I've learned more than a dozen to a high level of mastery.

After a while you have to stop blaming the people and instead just admit that Lisp isn't as awesome-for-all-purposes as some famous people seem to think it is.
It's a pretty old idea. The Bene Gesserit surely got it from Other Memory. They just figured out how to make it practical.
Isn't ozone worse than traditional pollution and the main byproduct of electrical cars? So unless we go into a draconian charge laws, will cause more harm in this regard.

I don't think that's the thrust of the article. The perspective here seems to be a Marxian interpretation of attractiveness as the “socially necessary labor” that confers its value in the relationship economy, rather than something that's correlated with utility.

Perhaps for computer science. From what I recall it lacked a large amount of the content, at least in coherent form, for the majority of my physics classes and a few of my electrical engineering classes.
Electric cars do not remove pollution - they are not trees. They merely pollute at a greatly reduced rate.
An ICO makes sense for crowdfunding in very limited conditions:

* if you have a technical problem that requires decentralised, cryptographically verified tokens (if it doesn’t need tokens, they shouldn’t be bolted on);

* if the tokens are directly usable on the platform itself;

* if at least a proof-of-concept of the technology verifiably exists;

* it also helps if the idea is even plausible as a business.

Unsurprisingly, most ICOs don’t meet these criteria.

The closest I've seen is Civic, which tried quite hard to meet the first three. However, for the fourth, it's still using a blockchain to solve a problem that only exists if you use a blockchain.
So if you reach the speed of light does that mean you'll reach the end of the universe, being that time stops for you and speeds up for everything else? Speaking of which, is a black hole just a window into the end of the universe?

Well, there are progressive taxes and there are progressive taxes. In Sweden, the taxes were a bit too "progressive" a couple of decades ago, when you could have a margin tax rate above 100%. It's a bit better now though...

Today, at /best/, the most effective use of computers is as office software and assignment submission tools. In that use model a student might be better served by a cheaper or more powerful fixed station in their room and a portable 'notepad' (or large cell phone) for field use.

Agreed, with the proviso that "office software" includes some sort of computational environment. It bugs me that "school math" is so radically different than how adults -- possibly including mathematicians -- do math in their work and lives. Don't get me wrong, I breezed through school math, but I rarely use it now.

I open up a Jupyter notebook. It's not doing math for me. It's doing computations that are guided by my math knowledge, which is often coupled with empirical data.

Many people use Excel, including those who claim to be bad at (school) math, yet they are capable of doing useful computational work, even if it is relatively simplistic.

I'd like to see students learn math in more of an exploratory fashion, aided by real world software. For instance I think that probability and statistics would be a lot more intuitive if it were approached through modeling via random numbers. Problems that are hard to grasp via equations might be easy to grasp by modeling to predict an outcome.

> What do you think seeing animals being killed, sliced open alive etc day in day out does to the human psyche

My grandparents killed animals on their farm regularly. Not only they were good moral people, but their way of life was much more sustainable and respectful of the planet than any of us here.

By focusing on something that shocks you personally you are missing the whole picture.
Nuclear power is discussed a lot as a CO2 friendly option. The huge drawback is that we haven‘t found a way to deal with all the radioactive waste yet.
I would strongly disagree with you, except I wasn't paying attention to you because I was text-chatting with a co-ed I want to go out with.
I agree with your overall sentiment. But just because there aren't animals on your plate, doesn't mean they weren't killed in bringing food to your plate. For example, published studies show that at least 25 times more sentient animals are killed per kilogram of useable protein when producing industrial wheat and other grain [1].

Not eating animals isn't enough. You have to find ethically sourced food. So ironically, eating meat from animals raised on pasture causes less animal cruelty than eating industrial wheat / grain-based food.

No pressure, but personally I spent a few hours watching documentaries on Netflix and I completely flipped from "logically plants are more efficient" to "I will avoid animal products as much as possible/practical". You may have a different experience, but it's extraordinary how much effort is put into keeping consumers unaware of where these products come from.

I read that article as saying that power plants emit ozone. The ozone isn't emitted where the electric cars are.

BTW a large source of ozone in the Bay Area and LA (both of which have big problems with it) is emissions from internal combustion vehicles.

So, overall, electric vehicles are a big decrease in ozone in the inhabited areas of the West Coast.

The problem is that you're assuming that the makeup of electricity production in Europe is a constant, which is strange, because it's probably easier to build low-carbon electricity infrastructure than replace tens of millions of gasoline cars. But the fuel used for gasoline cars is constant, whereas an arbitrary percentage of electricity production can be simply replaced by renewables. Similarly, the CO2 output of car manufacturing itself is variable, dependent on the choice of electricity production method. Of course, a dramatic increase in car production translates to a dramatic increase in resource usage, but cars are not particularly durable commodities, usually lasting only about 15 years or so.

A bigger problem is that the Baltic states (worst electricity prospects in this study) don't have a whole ton of renewable energy potential. It's dark, not (that) windy, not mountainous or volcanic...

The best way to fight speculation is to fight scarcity, i.e. create many (sensible) top level domains like .cars or .shop to increase competition with .com domains and drive down prices. Then more speculators go out of business because the price per domain goes down while the cost of parking it is unchanged.

Long term outlook for mining isn't good. Ethereum, for example, is moving toward Proof of Stake (https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Proof-of-Stake-FAQ), and Bitcoin will become less profitable for miners soon, beginning with the activation of Segwit.

The reason for the recent Bitcoin Cash fork, was that miners are terrified of losing control given the substantial investment required to maintain profitability. I don't think Satoshi ever thought mining would become so profitable, centralized, and political. If Satoshi had, he or she may have rethought the mining aspect of Bitcoin.

It's the end of days for mining as we know it.
Has anyone read up on the proof-of-stakes algorithms mentioned in this article? I didn't hear of those before.

Apparently "terawatt-hours per year" is a unit that people use in public policy, but it strikes me as strange. Converting 16.22 TWh/year to a "more metric" unit, that's a sustained power usage of 1.85 gigawatts.

So Bitcoin is constantly using more than enough power to make Doc Brown's eyes bug out.

Polyphenols? Far too often you see inexperienced medical researchers who stumble across a polyphenol while screening natural products and think they've found a viable lead compound. This class of compounds is an unselective binder (plants have evolved tannins to denature any protein, including those in fungal plant pathogens) and impossible to elaborate. The SGLT inhibitors developed from phlorizin are an exception. You'd expect better from UCSD, though.

I'm a bit tired of all these CO2 comparisons regarding electric vehicles. If we put the CO2 emissions aside, there are so many other benefits moving to EV's. Especially reduced local pollution in cities such as NOx, VOC and particulate emissions. Even if we just look at noise and easy maintenance, electric cars are clear winners. All this focus on CO2 just leads to a lot of inaccurate napkin calculations on one part of the issue, taking focus away from the bigger picture.

That being said, for cities, cars in general are problematic since the consume so much space. I'd say electric bicycles and public transportation is the way to go for cities.
I'm really confused by this article. Sometimes it seems like they're talking about bitcoin mining, then they start talking about transactions.

I mean, it's either "work" or centralization, so that's the trade off bitcoin makes. The work is the disincentive against cornering, right?
Does that justify wasting enough electricity to power Dallas, Texas in the mean time?
demand & offer, if the energy were more expensive, fewer would mine and the difficulty would drop, I wish I could mine on my low powered laptop, but if you want to raise the pitch forks against bitcoin, on the same logic, we could stop playing computer games, watch movies/shows/tv etc, even using modern phones, the old nokias that lasted a week one one charge would do fine.

"Modern" nutrition is poor nutrition. Just because everybody's sipping on (anti-nutrient-rich) kale smoothies today, it doesn't mean that we have better nutrition.

The statistic that stands out to me from this article is that 1 bitcoin transaction uses enough energy to power 5.58 us households for a day.

I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable about bitcoin can comment - is it likely that this will continue as the mining reward decreases? How expensive will transactions be after that happens? And if smaller rewards reduce total mining and power consumption, how vulnerable does the blockchain become to attack?

What i'm wondering is if transaction costs in the 'end state' of bitcoin can be competitive with centralized competitors like credit cards, paypal, etc. given this level of power consumption?
Fake it till you make it is fine if the faking part is selling the story of what you are doing and why it's going to be so great. If other parties assume you are farther along than you are, that's fine. But actually lying to them isn't.

I view FITYMI as more as a positive confidence building and projecting practice. When it goes on to deception, either self-deception or deceiving employees, partners, customers or investors it's corrosively bad.

Sure, lying to one customer might get you a deal, but then you have to perform on that deal. And maybe you do, this time. But that just sucks you into doing it again and again and over time your organization is going to get known as liars who can't meet commitments.
So the calculation is incredibly sensitive to the assumptions, that miners spend 60% of revenues on electricity and that they have an average cost of $0.05 per kw-h.

Anyone have any sense of how accurate either of those is?
I don't think true personal financial need drives much of this. Anybody smart enough to pull off a con like this could get an adequate job and make enough to live comfortably on.

I think the problem comes from people who won't stop there. Some are just sucking voids of desire; they always want more. Others want to be on top, to be number one. In my view, these people are broken.

So personally, I wonder about how we keep broken people in check, and how we rework society to produce fewer broken people.

There's a great bit in Iain Banks's Player of Games where the main character, who is from a post-scarcity utopia, visits a classic stellar empire, one clearly a stand-in for the worst parts of our current culture. The rich, imperial upper class types he's talking with have a hard time understanding the main character's lack of interest in owning. They ask, "Could you have a planet?" His take was roughly, "Well, I'm sure you could find an empty planet and land on it, but what would you do with it?"

It's something I think of often when I'm dealing with people trapped in a scarcity mentality.

As far as I can see their idea is to incentivise people to "rent out" hard drive space to the Storj network, and get StorjTokens in return, although it's not quite clear from the website what you can do with these coins or what value they hold.

I think it's interesting, I guess protocols like BitTorrent don't work for personal files as you need seeders to be available at all times....I'm half inclined to think Storj might suffer from the same issue if every node that is storing replicas of your blocks goes away - or will the financial "incentive" be enough for people to keep their nodes alive.

What happens if the value of Storj just drops to the floor?
Obviously it generates enough value for some people that they are willing to pay for it.

Watching television probably uses up even more energy. And I would argue it has a negative impact on life quality. But who am I to decide what people should value?
