The difference is you only need to transfer enough money to your personal bank account to cover your annual expenses. So if you make $500k/year but only spend $100k/year, then the other $400k will continue to grow tax free.

It all makes perfect sense if they in fact want to buy more bitcoin at the moment. There has been a whole lot of very, very ugly inflation data released over the last few days.

This would explain why they refrained from selling before making an announcement which they surely knew would (and did: -10%) tank the BTC/USD rate.
That is an absolute statement being applied to a relative world.

The idea that a company won't make a right decision ever is patently absurd. The idea that there are good companies and bad companies is likewise absurd.

Of course, a large company has to worry about money because their burn rate is so high, to imply otherwise is naive. It doesn't follow that a cash rich company won't decide to sustainably source materials or pay a fair wage for their employees.

Whether companies should ever be allowed to get that large is a different discussion.
And as such, the best thing that Tesla can do for the environment is to sell all of its PoW coins and continue to talk-down the price.

They, and we, can also petition Governments to ban the exchange of PoW coins for fiat. PoW coins serve no purpose and represent a egregious waste of our civilization's advanced manufactured goods and electricity. Taking crypto down a notch might also make ransomware attacks less likely.
Either market manipulation or incompetence, it's one of the two.

For someone who owns Tesla and a solar company, claiming that he didn't already knew that Bitcoin is a huge energy sink seems unlikely.

Tesla is a little more high profile, but they certainly aren't the first company to implement something, or take a action, where you from the outside question the environmental impact. Only to have the company reverse the same decision a while later, claiming a huge effort to help the environment.
It seems initial distribution was centrally managed in this coin. Needs much stronger proof of no foul play in this case than a shiny web site
If you take a positive spin it on, it could be heavy manipulation for the environment.

1. Buy Bitcoin to put added focus to it

2. Stop using it and cite environmental impact

3. Swap to something more environmentally acceptable in an attempt to tilt Bitcoin from the crypto throne or push them to change the amount of mining going on.

I’m not sure how beneficial it is to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it’s a view I haven’t seen it the threads before.
Different solar systems. And they definitely know about each other. Or at least, there are factions and individuals present in each system who do.
I'd be interested to see the numbers on this.

How much diesel-equivalent fuel could a 1GW nuclear power plant create in one year?

Here's my back of the envelope attempt.

1000MW * 0.9 capacity factor = 900

900 * 24 * 365 = 7,884,000MW

7,884,000 * 0.3 = 2,365,200MW electricity to liquid fuel efficiency[1]

2,365,200MW * 1000 = 2,365,200,000kW

2,365,200,000 / 10 energy content of 1L of diesel being ~10kWh

236,520,000L of diesel per year from a 1GW power plant.

Australia alone uses something like 33,000 megalitres of fuel per year (that's not all diesel, a lot of it would be petrol, but close enough).[2]

So Australia alone would need something like 140 x 1GW nuclear-to-diesel plants.

Did I do something wrong here? That seems like a lot.

This[3] says Australia has electricity generating capacity was 66.5 gigawatts (2017 number), so my 140GW estimate to cover Australia's transportation fuel requirements by electricity-to-diesel seems within the correct order of magnitude.

I have a few reservations about nuclear on ships:

1) Nuclear reactors produce waste that needs long term storage. There are lots of hypothetical / partial solutions for this and a lot of nuclear waste sitting there in temporary storage patiently awaiting the day that this problem is actually solved. Adding more waste to that pile is not a great idea.

2) Ships go to sea. The sea is treacherous. Meaning that waste might end up at the bottom of the sea when ships sink.

3) Seas have pirates. E.g. the coast of Somalia is a security risk. Pirates and nuclear reactors are not a great combination. Pirates with Muslim extremist backgrounds even less so. Basically, nuclear powered boats are dirty bombs waiting to get hijacked.

Burning fossil fuels is the problem that needs solving. However, burning synthetic fuels is perfectly fine and engines don't really care how the fuel is created. Synthetic fuels can be produced using clean energy and then pumped in large storage tanks on ships; very much like is the practice today with normal fuel. It's the obvious future. Hydrogen is an obvious candidate for this and there are multiple companies working on this and a few prototypes already sailing. Add some solar and wind to the mix and you get some efficiency gains. Other synthetic fuels are feasible as well. Even diesel could be synthesized eventually. The main challenge is building the infrastructure that is going to generate enough fuel at reasonable cost.

There are a few drone ship operators out there. They are not used for cargo and quite small but it works. These guys (https://www.saildrone.com/) use solar and wind powered autonomous drone ships for months long operations.
Yea, because it wasn't known that bitcoin is not the best thing for environment for years, I guess?
This is one of the typically recommended calculators in high school in France. The schools usually get a reasonable deal to promote it to pupils.

It is a good calculator, but the Python part (that was supposed to be a strong asset) is not that well managed. I just tried a few things on my son's calculator but gave up. i was expecting some kind of live interface between the REPL or an editor and the calculator but it really looks like an Arduino that you have to update with code all the time.
They're correct! But I forgot to mention I'm in Europe not in US. So yeah, I pay around 50% for taxes (biggest of them is social security tax of around 30%).

That sounds like a job for a Raspberry Pi[0] with a pushbutton wired up to a GPIO pin. Push the button after you brush, have it text you a congratulatory message. It's slightly less functional than a Bluetooth toothbrush, but respects your privacy a hell of a lot more.

This is exactly what I do too. No messing with magic aliases to tweak --git-dir and --work-tree, just vanilla git.

Not at all. Many countries already do this. For example, in Australia, capital gains is considered as income. It contributes to your progressive tax bracket the same way income does. For property, you do not pay capital gains tax when you sell your primary residence (that you live in) but you do on investment properties.

They do not gain anything by crashing bitcoin. They could gain by selling bitcoin, but they sold only 10% of their position.

Even when you "pomp and dump" you have to dump as the name suggest. It is not "pomp and crash&hold".

Unless they show profit from selling 1B$ bitcoin in next financial statements it is just Elon being dumb idiot.

Both for buying Bitcoin in the first place and for not offloading to make money to invest in Tesla.
The existence of other Android Auto apps mean nothing. Enel is quite a large company and I am sure it has a lot of people working on its mobile applications. Besides, they are enforcing European law.

I have thought for awhile that the best space voyagers, or guys whom are going to be isolated, are individuals who already had minor breakdowns when they were younger.

That includes so many of us? Why? Because they know the crazy thoughts will pass.

I'm not talking about individuals with serious mental illness like Schizophrenia, or have a genetic lineage of mental illness.

I'm talking people that have survived mild mental illnesses, like dysthymia, and anxiety.

People who know the craziness in their heads will go away, and realize the world is imperfect. Realize they are far from perfect. Realize their way might not be the best way.

I'm usually leary of the "perfect" candidates that get these coveted positions.

Yes--I'm leary of the Ph.D types whom sailed through school. The ones with a big egos that feel they feel like they are the best, and claim they were never sick at sea. I think we have all met the type?

Put a few of those people in real isolation, and danger, with peers just like themselfs-- seems like a horrid recipe for disaster?

(At one time I felt like I controlled my surroundings. A few blown mental gaskets made me a more tolerant person. It did mess with my resume though. I felt the same way right after 911. i felt the FBI should be recruiting intelligent convicts at San Quentin, or wherever, rather than the guy with the 4 year degree who took a good head shot. I changed my tune when I realized the enemy of 911 was nuanced, and not so straight foreward, but I still felt you hire guys whom break societal laws in order to find the bad guys.)
It’s unworkable at a market level, but ideally, yes. Working for failing companies means you’re just wasting your time and not contributing to the society.

The funny thing is that even if you found some magical hardware that was 100x more efficient than the next best thing, the incentives make it so that you don't want to use 0.01X energy to produce Y hashes and mine the same proportion of coins, you'd want to use X energy to produce 100Y hashes so you mine a larger proportion of coins.

Hi there HN'ers,

I've been working remotely for a few years now, for various companies and clients.

One itch I needed to sratch is timezone conversion. It's always a mental effort to figure out when someone in your team will be around, and to compute when you should schedule that meeting so that everyone invited gets a "respectable" time.

Here I present you whena.re, the most intuitive timezone viewer for your team ;)

It's been live for something like a year now, lots of people use it and feedback has been great so far,

I released a Slack integration so I'm hoping this will convince some of you to give it a shot if you've never tried it before!

Happy to discuss some more if you have questions or comments,
It's not so hard for the OS to be architecture agnostic. Linux runs on lots of architectures, and also Windows NT was portable enough to run on MIPS early on and also runs on ARM in addition to x86.

The main challenge is seamlessly migrating users to the new platform and Apple did a great job at it using Rosetta.

Both Linux and especially Windows struggle at this because they lack something as well integrated as Rosetta and require all applications to be recompiled to a new architecture.

If Tesla bought and sold stock in another company, they would need to announce it immediately according to detailed regulations.

With Bitcoin there is nothing that regulates. Tesla can buy it in secret, announce it and drive up the price, sell it in secret, announce it and drive the price back down.

> Who's laughing now.

I am and those who bought BTC when it fell to less than $5000 or $7000 for sometime in a while since it reached its ATH in 2017. That was the chance for new comers to buy into crypto in March 2020.

No-one who bought at those lows lost any money. Only those buying at ATHs and selling now. Thus they are forced to HODL and wait for it to go up again.

And now it's 2021, the new ATH for BTC is $60K and as for many alt-coins thanks to Elon and the Twitter crypto hypers, all the alts are flying and NOW the new retail investors are buying into crypto today, which is a dangerous sign of a pull back later.

Might as well take some profits off the table. Just like what Tesla did and many others in the smart money.

So yes, I'm always laughing at those buying right now in all time highs when I keep hitting that sell button.

The idea that _any_ humans could be screened to do this job is questionable. Otherwise mentally fit people can become mentally unfit when constantly bombarded with images of child abuse, or worse.

It is the least bad solution we have to the most bad problem. I'm not saying you're wrong, but the discourse around how we can find the "right" people to do this job assumes that such people exist and aren't just desperate for a job.

> Dogecoin has exactly the same energy spending incentives as Bitcoin.

Does it?

I thought that Bitcoin was particularly bad because block sizes were small, so there's a big incentive to mine and get mining fees.

Dogecoin is still wasteful, but it's an order of magnitude less than Bitcoin.
There have been studies which claim that prior infection by SARS1 (2003) has conferred some immune protection against SARS2 (2020). That would be 17 years, not 180 days.

With billions of dollars at stake on multiple sides of proposed policy, there is sufficient financial incentive to study very closely the mechanisms of both natural and artificial immunity.

Policy makers can selectively highlight or ignore science, but not forever. In the US, some early policies were overturned by later court rulings, as data became available for lawsuits.

I'm going to point at the median worker, they're pretty normal.

All the people you're listing aren't necessarily normal workers - observe that some of them are part of the much-vaunted 1%.

I don't really understand the mindset that people are grumpy about the 1% and then interpret that as "oh really they're on the side of the 1% they mean the 0.1%". If anything, it might be the other way around and they mean the 10%.

The argument is there need to be more transfer payments. A mindset that CEOs need to pay but not fabulously wealthy doctors/dentists/programmers is a mystery to me. What even is the argument?

These are people who either need to work for 2 years (pre-tax) to live comfortably for a decade or they're squandering their earnings. They are outrageously wealthy.
