This principle is used in traditional auditing as well.

Periodically pull up some randomly selected documents and ensure that they match the corresponding records. If you can’t find the documents or if they don’t match the records, you trigger an audit.
If anything, this is a good sign that if you haven't, it's worth learning more about Bitcoin, familiarizing yourself with how to acquire and use it, and consider a long-term strategy around holding some.

I would argue that most people actually cannot, at least not without spending weeks reading up on the topic first. Needless to say that the same goes for almost every other scientific article out there, except for the ones that might be in one's own field.
I had a 2008 15" MBP, the original retina 15", and currently have a work issued 16" i9.

The 16" gets toasty, but those first two could get scalding hot. And I was concerned about that as I only had 13" in the intervening years, but the 16" is nothing like those at all. Never once had a situation where it was so hot that I had to remove it from my lap but regularly had those situations with the others.

And I'm pushing it super hard, it rarely gets better than 3-4 hours on a charge. I don't think people are remembering just how bad those earlier MBPs were.

I do wish other manufacturers had that option; they all have configurators on their sites. For example, the Ford Bronco has at least a dozen options[1] with a handful of choices for each. This is a classic CPQ use case. I want to be able to create a valid configuration, arrange payment, and have them drop off my car at the front door (or pick it up at a local dealer if I must, since they sometimes have to do the last steps of unpacking the car, filling fluids, etc). Even if it takes the factory ten weeks to deliver it.

Increased amounts of speculation actually in theory should decrease volatility and bring the price to the fair value more quickly.

What I think you are not considering here is that you can speculate both on the upside or the downside. Speculators are only trying to predict the future price, speculation is not the same as a "pump and dump scheme".

> When the speculators all sell and the only demand comes from people looking to actually use them, the price will drop by a lot. ... bitcoin’s value will drop even further as people perceive it as “dead” or worthless (as maybe it should have always been perceived)

Like you said yourself, if it is true that Bitcoin is overvalued then it would be a good thing for every Bitcoin user if its price dropped to the fair value. Why are you describing that situation like a bad thing here? I expect users would be happy that they can now afford more of the coin for practical use cases, and adoption in those use cases would probably go up more than anything.

>I think there's a fundamental difference: pay-to-progress games have a strong incentive to make progressing without paying as painful as possible. Getting people hooked is just a means to get them paying.

Games with RNG-gated content have a strong incentive to make progressing take as much time as possible, because the more time it takes the more people play the game, and the more people play the game the more they'll naturally advertise it to their friends.

>Games with long progression paths have an incentive to keep that process as interesting is possible, otherwise people will just stop playing (and along the way the player is having fun).

Games that ask for money also have an incentive to keep that process as interesting as possible, otherwise people will also stop playing. Just because you're asking for people to spend money it doesn't mean that you can magically make a shit game.

Massive. Just as an example, a Bitcoin transaction uses 12.000.000 times as much energy as a VISA transaction.
I'm honestly getting tired of this argument. Just think about how much energy a Bitcoin transaction uses. Then scale that up to the entire U.S. worth of transactions. Go figure.

Owing to an affection for horsepower and some fortunate professional choices, I spent a long time driving higher-end cars (mostly from Germany).

The dealer experience when buying a BMW, say, is astonishingly easy and reasonable (IME) vs. the same process of visiting a "normal" dealer. I knew this intellectually, but when we were looking for a new car a few years ago, after I had "recovered" from my sports car mania, we looked at several conventional dealers including Ford and Mazda.

Holy CRAP those experiences were AWFUL. I mean just TERRIBLE. Creepy dealers who clearly thought they were going to put one over on us, skeevy and hamfisted attempts to rush a sale, the whole nine yards. It's just BANANAS that this persists.

(For the record, we ended up with a VW. At the time, it was kind of right after the whole scandal, and they were fairly motivated to sell cars, which worked to our benefit. And the GTI is a hell of a lot of fun while being (a) cheap and (b) practical. No word of it a lie, driving it is at least 80% as much fun as driving my old 911 was.)

I'm curious to see how Proof of Stake on Etherium will affect the PoW for BTC, and how this would affect the damage that crypto does to the environment.
> EVs still require nearly as much servicing as ICE cars

Not even close. I was just talking with my service guy at the local VW dealership. The e-Golfs that come in are usually there for a few broken things. But the service is almost negligible unless your counting tire rotations and wiper blade changes.

And regenerative braking has dramatically extended brake wear.
I would highly recommend Qobuz. Great company, ownership that cares about artists and music.

The Japanese Technique for Harvesting Sea Salt by Hand
I heard this story as well. But in the end they picked something else they had and could make. I think the original idea was to start with the same as what went to the moon and build on that. At one point we made several thousand of something like them. They found they could not build that anymore, and it was not as good as stuff they could do, so they redesigned to something else that they could. That is as far as most people take that story.

In fact most 'stories' and 'news' is like that. The SLS is known to be in a congress sub committee hot potato game. So that there are different versions floating around of what happened and is happening is not surprising. Teasing out the 'truth' of what happened is not always easy. As many have interests in distorting it, or just remember wrong.
I haven’t used this specifically, but I’ve been really impressed with the DJI brand overall. I got a Mavic Air 2 and a gimbal for photography from them this year, and have been very happy with the quality of both. (The gimbal, being more of a professional tool, was a bit annoying to setup.)

They have bitten a lot of Apple’s packaging, presentation, and UX — which isn’t really a bad thing. (Imitation and flattery, and if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, etc.)

I’m intrigued by FPV, but I have no burning need for it right now — I’m mainly interested in cinematography and building maps of my property for farming, gardening, and architecture.

One thing I would say: having a big property to learn on has been handy. It does concern me how flippant some are in this thread about barriers to entry and the risks. Until you get yourself into a hairy situation, you may not fully appreciate the risks.
The military industrial complex, petrodollar system and endless wars seem more quantifiable than any "climate damages" measured in a dollar cost.

You can simply observe the number of deaths. Even harder to measure the lost economic productivity created by price fixing.

BTC's popularity among speculators is arguably due to artificially cheap credit and economic manipulation. If you accept that you can attribute these so called "climate costs" back to central banking.

The entire premise has so many elite promotions baked in that it becomes hard to approach logically. For me the headline reads as pure nonsense. I'd hoped true believers of central planning and anthropogenic climate apocalypse would find some of these leaps a bit too far.

The comments read as a false dichotomy between bitcoin absolutists and warmists.

Cryptocurrencies can operate without the energy usage of bitcoin. Subjective value tells us that individuals will have different preferences for energy consumption. We don't have to agree that it is efficient or demand that everyone agree on a preference for efficiency as we define it. The other goalpost of the dichotomy is more like a high voltage line. Instead of electrocuting myself and opening a debate on climate change, I'd prefer to simply note that many disagree for a variety of philosophical or scientific reasons.

Remember, Square has a stake in Eventbrite. They now have a stake in the full ecosystem of music artists: Streaming, performances, and soon merch, of course.

It's a side ecosystem just like restaurants (Square has had a stake in Doordash after selling Caviar to them). Today, Square for Restaurants also released in Canada.

As a SQ investor I'm not crazy about this play but I see the long term reasoning. I also think JAY-Z might help with Cash App although its booming on its own and very much has the rapper demographic already (there are no shortage of songs and albums named Cash App for a reason).

Because you're hungry and your fridge is empty?

Inflation creates artificial demand and drives consumerism, thereby arguably causing more resource usage/wastage than would otherwise be the case.

Depreciating money means that people's time horizon narrows and they're thinking more and more of the present at the expense of the future, causing all kinds of negative externalities.

Capitalism is actually supposed to make things cheaper, by virtue of competition spurring everyone on to be more efficient and economic with their inputs in order to provide cheaper and better products.

> Were those currencies to deflate, it would literally be more beneficial to not touch them.

This is such a silly, hyperbolic argument. People need to eat, they have other desires than just hoarding money, there will always be reasons to give out money and therefore there will always be reasons to provide goods and services for that money.

It's stated in the study[0] that the pigs were not locating the food by smell.

But ignoring that test for a moment, you haven't really responded to any of the other points.

Or how would you respond to the fact that our law acknowledges that animals experience pain.

Your line of reasoning is a logical fallacy that a lot of us make.

But that line of reasoning has allowed major atrocities in the past, i.e. objectifying other sentient beings or comparing them to lower forms of life like cockroaches, justified their immoral actions.

Holocaust survivors are drawing comparisons with what is happening in the factory farm industry to what happened to them in concentration camps [1].

IIsaac Bashevis Singer said: ‘For the animals, life is an eternal Treblinka,’. It's a bitter pill to swallow if you look at it from that perspective.

I know winning arguments might be important here on HN, but I'm not sharing this information to win arguments.

I'm encouraging you to watch Earthlings and to see how your humane side reacts to what you see. Do you really agree that it's OK how we treat other non-human animals, just because we can't prove (yet) that they don't experience pain like humans do? What if they experience it even more severely - hence why they scream when we hurt them.

But you might just not care about animal cruelty. If so, do you care about our biosphere[2] or do you care about the people having to work in the factory farm industry. Slaughterhouse workers experience PTSD. Could you work in that environment - killing and gutting hundreds of animals?

Future humans most likely will claim that the way we treat farm animals is immoral[3], the same way we say that slavery in the past and now is immoral.

Moral progress is important - it's what makes us human.

Which means they're integrated graphics.

> Also note that it is not correct to compare CPU+GPU power draw in other systems, as in M1 macbooks the power budget is shared between CPU and GPU which leads to throttling.

Just like integrated GPUs?

Don't underestimate the power of a mob, even an internet mob. They can and have done a lot of damage to people, even those who don't directly engage with them (especially when they attack those who don't have a lot of individual power: ironically while those who participate in them seem to have a sense of 'punching up', they can only hurt those for which they are as a collective punching down).
That's a great point I hadn't thought of. For example, small coffee shops play music on Spotify. IANAL, but I assume that's technically illegal, though no one will sue a tiny coffee shop over that. But once you start expanding to multiple shops, you may want to get more "legitimate". You already have Square, so now you can just add the Tidal service to your bill

This doesn't engage with the report at all. You call it pseudoscience without any supporting evidence. You speculate about error bars without grounding in fact, and the only counterargument you bring is a weak hand waving that it must be a hard problem, with a gratuitous citation from Wikipedia.

Yeah, "no haggle" dealers still have some other levers. I'd also point out that a lot of people want to negotiate because they at least think that they come out ahead as opposed to having to just pay sticker.

I don't love dealers and can't say my last experience about a decade ago was great. But it definitely helps if you don't need financing and are prepared to just donate your old clunker if you don't get offered enough.

No, organizations built hydro plants for whatever reason in places where supply ended up higher than demand, driving down the prices. With that move, Bitcoin miners saw the opportunity and placed themselves within that ecosystem.
