OP's comment: "I have the feeling that you're not saving lifes but rather ruining them." was not very considerate either. As a veteran myself, I found that assumption highly offensive considering I was involved in multiple missions were we provided food, shelter and security to many people around the world. OP's comment was very much a naïve one because either he did not know how much good the military provides around the world, or willingly chooses to ignore it and conveniently leave it out of conversations to support his stance.

Also, ethical myths have very real effects on societies, but they are myths nonetheless. That realization may be inconvenient to some and that's fine.

What about the energy used to design and build the infrastructure? There's a lot more that went into this project than just the static site, which is something the article touches on.

To illustrate, I'm going to invent some numbers:

Let's say that this site on "standard" hardware would use 1kW per day. This means the existing site saves ~950W per day looking at just the hardware energy use.

However, the hardware it's running on had to be produced, let's say that costs 10kW. The solar panels and batteries need power to make, let's; say they cost another 30kW of power.

Additionally, the system needs to be designed and built by a human being. Humans use a lot of energy. Let's say that this took 1 week to design and build. Let's say a human "uses" 50kW of "power" per day (e.g. from food production, etc.). This means it costs an additional 350kW of power to design and build the infrastructure.

Adding up all these made up numbers gives us a total infrastructure cost of 390kW. This means that, in order to "pay back" the difference, the new system has to operate for (390,000 W / 950 W/d =) 410 days.

These numbers are wildly inaccurate and cut a lot of corners, but this should give an idea as to what the grandparent was getting at.

Sidenote: I'm not, personally, trying to make a point about the project itself. Just, in order to fully understand the energy impact you have, you need to take a lot more into account than just "the amount of work performed by the computer".

There's two parts here. Yes, China's doing it, and we shouldn't ignore it, and we need to condemn it and figure out how to respond. That's on one level.

On another level, though, any country that has more to gain by stealing than to lose by being stolen from is going to be tempted to steal. Given what human nature is, you'd better expect it to happen.

It's like how in domestic society, on one level we expect people to obey the law. But on another level we expect at least some people not to, which is why we have police.

Even if it did save bandwidth, that does not equal significant energy savings. And if it did, there are better ways to save.

For example, looking at their response headers I see the image cache control expires after a day, plus has validation caching. This could be significantly improved. First, get rid of the `etag`, `expires`, and `last-modified` headers and go with expiration caching only. Increase the `max-age` from one day (86400) to one year (31536000). I get the HTML expiring after 24 hours, but images should be more aggressively cached. Validation caching always requires a round trip to the server, plus running validation rules on every single request so it can't save nearly as much bandwith and CPU as simple expiration caching.

Also, if they got rid of the those headers, plus the pointless `server: nginx/1.10.3` they could save over 100b per HTTP response. I counted 19 requests on that article, so it may seem small, but it can add up to a significant amount.

FWIW, if a single actor could take command of more than 50% of a chain's hashrate then yes, they could take over and rewrite history. The theory was that this would be far too expensive in power and time for any such attack to succeed and if it did - the chain would simply fork at time pervious to the attack and the person that had taken the now defunct chain over would be the only person operating on that blockchain.

It also happened over a hundred years ago. We are now in the 'modern era' and international trade is a much bigger part of any economy. The World Bank statistics only go back to 1960, but since that time the % of economy that is trade has gone from 25% to 50%. Much more significant to steal technology today.

Not really a startup in the sense of a VC backed multi million dollar company but three working friends and me have bootstrapped a fitness websites with science based health advice, mostly free, to basically the largest fitness related website in the Netherlands. Currently employing people, which i think still sounds insane for a hobby project. https://www.fit.nl. 700.000 pageviews a month. App, 2 books, system for training and meal schedules etc. One now works full time as a lead/writer.

As a day job I'm a full time resident of orthopedic surgery. Busy days. I've done most of the programming of the website (custom theme on wordpress), product comparison engine and other custom pages. And server admin for discourse, mattermost etc

Some important findings:

- You have to care otherwise it becomes a chore. In this case it keeps people healthy. We give free advice that i think is pretty good, e.g on the forum, I love that part. The link with the day job is here. Lots of stuff i tell people during clinic hours applies here as well

- As its completely different it still feels like a hobby. Learning to do stuff is fun

- Clear separation of responsibility, do stuff you are efficient in

- A ticketing system for jobs, pick up stuff when you have time. Anybody can add to the ticket list but the list owner decides what comes first.

- Keeping the tickets bite sized. GIT to deploy, deploy often

- A time tracking system (Toggle) tracks time spent.

- Mattermost for private discussions and planning

- Meetups and fun activities to keep the group focused

- Managed main server (websynthesis) in case the website goes down and the other technical guy or me are unavailable. More expensive but less stress this way.

Oracle is notorious for auditing compliance with their database licenses, and shaking down their users for extra money in the event the auditors find something even slightly questionable. There are external consultants that make a pretty good living just preparing companies to withstand those audits.

They haven't been doing that with JDK licenses, so far -- as long as Java had licenses which didn't allow for this kind of gamesmanship. But now that the license has changed, it's a completely legitimate thing to get worried about.

Company is only bound to its owners i.e. shareholders. Employees of the companies have only one way of pushing their agenda: "Either do what we want, or we quit". Companies either are OK with losing those employees and replacing them with others or they change their course to accommodate their employees. If those accommodations piss off the shareholders then the company gets to broker some sort of the compromise or its officers and directors get fired.
FWIW this is from the perspective of and American consumer (I assume, from your comment below where you mention AT&T).

Most WhatsApp users aren't American, and in a lot of places $1 is a more significant price tag. That aside though, some places don't have the infrastructure or trust to even allow any sort of online payment to happen: a lot of people in India don't have credit cards, and being from Mexico myself, I know a lot of people who do don't trust online transactions enough to pay with it online.

Scaling cryptocurrencies would absolutely address this issue, but that's an enormous challenge.

A simple, centralized service could easily fill this role with batched transactions. Each reader pays once a month, each publisher gets payed once a month, and those payments can be shuffled about a database trivially. O(n) vs. O(n^2)

Patreon kind of did/does this. There was a big stink not long ago where this appeared to fall apart. The issue Patreon faced was that it was not so trivial to bundle transactions like this. Some creators wanted to get paid in a piecemeal fashion for each video uploaded, etc. For patreon supporters, they would each be on their own separate billing cycle because they decided it would be bad UX to have the first month be pro-rated or whatever.

As much as Patreon is best situated to provide a service like this, I'm not encouraged that they'll do so.

The reason to build blockchain based systems is the desire for architectural decentralisation and trustless systems. Most use cases you can think of you have already seen elsewhere, hence why you can think about them right?

> heart rate sensors on consumer wearables can detect multiple major health conditions

It sounds so logical and inevitable where this technology is heading for health care. Over 10 years ago, I paid $1200 to wear a Holter monitor[1] for 24 hours.

In contrast, a consumer wearable like Apple Watch is $399. Arguably, the Holter monitor fee also included the doctor's time to read the ECG recording. But it also seems like a lot of the rudimentary analysis of heart data from wearables will be done in the cloud with machine learning. Hence, the price of basic diagnosis goes way down.

With the increasing aging population in USA, Europe, and Japan that will want to stay on top of medical issues, it seems like a big business opportunity. A bunch of players are going to compete in this space. Good luck to you!

What I'd like to see is an open baseband implementation, including calling out to more efficient DSP hardware, and some more substantial hardware frontend. There is surely a patent minefield involved in using something like that, but it'd be nice to have something in the open which you could at least license those patents to integrate into a product, and provide a greater degree of certainty as to what's inside to your customers.

If doctors have to rub this gel before an EKG, why doesn't the Apple Watch need this, to ensure good contact?

It probably varies by person, but heart monitor chest straps such as those that come with higher-end exercise watches, can benefit from the gel. However, most folks (including myself) either just slap 'em on dry, or with a little spit, and they usually work fine. But at the doctor's office "usually" probably doesn't cut it. If a little gel changes "usually" to "always", then they probably apply as a matter of course.

That's my long-winded way of saying that a little gel on your wrist and finger would help (I guess; I've not seen the watch yet, nor am I a medical professional). But for the not-a-lab-or-medical-office setting, it's good enough.
