You'd be competing against others who steal their electricity or have it subsidised (including pollution, resource depletion, regulatory arbitrage, financial crime and other externalities).

If you can take advantage of some of those and don't mind that the money isn't being generated so much as taken from other people then it's a great idea.

Wow, never seen it in a city, and I've been around plenty. You see the absolute craziest things in cities and nobody even notices - it's part of the culture. It's a running joke.
Yeah publicly traded bitcoin mining companies are a very new phenomenom, and investors are undiscerning and being taken advantage of.

Its fine though, as long as those investors find new investors who only care about revenues. The actual company is a conduit, the revenues still occur but nobody had been asking what happens to the actual money. Lucrative game.

Good article, calls for nothing except FYI to investors.

I partly agree. Though once you do have a working setup and know which buttons to press, there isn’t a lot of inconvenience anymore, apart from being bound to the particular room.

The problem for the industry is more that an important target group for them are A/V nerds who are never satisfied for long with their setup and are always looking for the next best thing to upgrade to, and which also serve as a multiplicator. And those are becoming fewer and fewer.
The way this is phrased gives a bad name to those mythical enterprise/old/Java developers. I personally don't want to be associated with this stereotype, I have another 20 years of interviews in the future.

I started programming in Java in 2002. I had some of your stated attitude learning Scala ten years ago. Probably because I grew up on Turbo Pascal and C++ , majored in EE, and didn't hear about PL theory. I cannot fathom anyone wishing to go back to Java after using Scala (as a better Java, without cats/scalaz&Co) or at least Kotlin. The way you describe new Java features I'd think you come from a golang background.

I have nothing against staying on the JVM for the rest of my career. For this to be feasible we need modern languages fully supported and popular. I personally want more concise syntax and more elegant abstractions in my daily life.
> become their "true selves" just because of that.

Yeah, because of the danger of a physical altercation, that potential drawback is taken away while interacting online

What's the drawback of making some alt accounts/sockpuppet accounts and going harass someone you dislike? Getting an Ip ban at most I'd gather rather than getting your nose broken by a punch from someone on the street

There is little to no credible deterrence in online discussions
No, it makes the stuff cheaper.
I complained, and now I have an Amazon Linux 2 machine to play.

Why the default is that horrible CentOS (I am an Ubuntu person), is beyond me.

It's been decades since Oracle stopped being relevant (only reason to ever pick up a RedHat compatible distro, IMO).
I feel like BK used to be a lot better back in the 2000s but that could just be fond memories.
I worked with IDL 20 years ago. GDL at the time was somewhat different and the difference was great enough to prevent me from doing the entire thing in GDL. Great to see they made the move to be compatible with IDL. It has a great REPL. Easy to program. Could have been the python we never knew we wanted.
Wow.

But it's also quite surprising considering HP (and HPE which I understand is not very related) usually provides FreeDOS based firmware update and configurarion ISOs on their product download pages.

> Piracy is a Service problem

And in the context of video streaming, the service gap keeps widening.

Music exists in an alternate universe of IP where no creator or rightsholder truly has exclusive control over anything except commercial distribution of physical media. It's crazy but that's how we got to a place where any streaming or subscription service we choose likely has all the music we want to listen to and piracy stopped being a rational decision.

Movies and television don't have that. Netflix thrived for a while as the streaming platform of choice for content owners, but their catalog was never anywhere close to exhaustive. Then there was Hulu for the content owners who didn't want Netflix ruling distribution. And Prime for who-knows-why. And now everyone with exclusive rights to content wants to put anything of value on their own exclusive platform. Combine all their fees and cutting the cord legally approaches the price of a moderate CATV package and if you want any of the CATV things that aren't available with on-demand streaming platforms, such as cable news networks, that's another much pricier subscription from Sling or AT&T.

Meanwhile, piracy keeps getting easier and better. Anything running an Intel CPU from the past 5-6 years with an integrated GPU will make a perfectly adequate Plex server that can transcode 4K content. In appliance form from Synology that starts around $300, or DIY for half that with used PC from eBay. The software stack to completely automate piracy is a handful of Docker containers that any modern NAS or appliance-style Linux distro makes simple enough for a non-geek to muddle through installing and configuring, and some expressly target that purpose. A paid USENET service and indexer cost about the same as a single streaming subscription. Content selection isn't limited to what content owners have chosen to make available for streaming, content never disappears so long as you're willing to store it, and everything is consolidated to a single "streaming service" that supports pretty much any platform that can access Netflix.

And, as it has been for years, people who don't want to put in that effort can probably find a friend who's willing to share.
FWIW they do support DTS (but not DTS-HD) now.

> However, this statement about computers not being supported cannot be true. On the Jabra site for this product, it says: "no need to plug your headphones into your computer." It also has a picture of the product beside a Macbook. I've included screen shots of the product page that show these two points that clearly indicate computers are supported. I've heard this issue of the Elite 85h not being compatible with computers before from Jabra support, but it seems so implausible that Jabra would make bluetooth headphones that don't support computers, and equally implausible that they would mislead people into buying them on their site by suggesting that computers are supported if they are not.

In the United States this would somehow be an excuse to charge you $300 for it. Some people might be lucky enough to have their insurance "cover" it, which means you still somehow end up paying $30 since the insurance only covers 90% for some reason.
It already would be, they have to transfer the data between hospitals somehow. The only difference is that you will have access to it, not just the doctors.

The security depends entirely on the implementation though. I'm guessing that's why your concerned about it.
I do! I was on 30mg for a week, then increased to 50, and I've been stable there ever since.

I was worried at the start I would end up on 70mg, but it just seemed to work from day one onwards.

Do you get the reduced appetite? I basically don't eat from 11am until 8pm most days, which has worked quite well for weight loss. I wasn't super heavy (18st, now 14.5st) but I had put on quite a lot during COVID.

I wish I could say just pick the work that is more R&D in nature and avoid 'secretary' work, but you obviously don't have that choice. Personally I love anything along the lines of Lockheed's 'Skunk Works'[0] program. Pure R&D and risky too, because you don't know if it will work. F7ck around and find out is my mantra.

Buffett's MO for subsidiaries is businesses that generate low cost free cash flow that can be leveraged to fund more speculative paper investments. It's very similar to the conglomerate model - arranging for an internal cost of capital lower than you can get on the open market, to fund capital intensive longer term projects.

Selling something that is not what you say it is is false advertising, and falls under the purview of the FTC. Unfortunately, the testing, enforcement, and penalties are all extremely weak.

Trust in the marketplace is a very valuable asset, one that cannot be bought. It has to be cultivated and maintained over many, many years, and having the government do that makes perfect sense as it is a societal benefit.

Have you tried it with the Jabra Link USB dongle? Yeah it’s pricy if it’s not included (it was with my Evolve2 65), but while using it I never had any issues, as the computer sees it as a USB soundcard (which works pretty well on Win/Linux/Macos).

Unfortunately, I never had any luck with any Bluetooth audio device of any manufacturer on computers (as opposed to phones/tablets).
Anecdotal evidence at best. I could drive my first car (a ca. 2006 VW Polo) till it was completely falling apart. Everything, including the electrical wiring was something you could easily fix with common parts. Once my brother had the car for a year and he destroyed the motor because he didn't think about putting in oil at all. A new motor was 500 Euros including the work.

Skip to a new generation Audio SUV my father owns. He (a technically skilled car guy) cannot exchange the headlights himself, because there is some software part to it as well (and while he is mechanically skilled, software is not his forte). One headlight was 250 Euros parts cost, you have to disassemble half of the motor block to unscrew it.

He had constant issues with the car where some sensor or one of the many components was acting up, PCBs that had to be exchanged and so on. Same is happening with many people I know who have new cars of the past ca. 5 years.

My old Polo wasn't the most luxurios car, but if you treated it the right way it was very reliable at getting you where you wanted to be – which is quite an important attribute for a car to have. My girlfriends new car had 4 failures that lead to her being stranded in the middle of the trip in the first 6 months of her owning it. All related to electronics and sensors.
Perhaps the ASICs should be designed so that they are a little more general-purpose then. Perhaps capable of mining for the next cryptocoin on the block?
The film Gattaca (1997) speaks to this better than I can.
While I have heard a myriad of arguments against PoS, my opinion is that the ecological benefits alone are worth switching as soon as possible. We can continue to iterate on it to improve the negative sides, but we can’t afford to wait for a “perfect” replacement forever while PoW does such extreme harm.
The difference is that Buffett uses subsidiaries to reduce Berkshire's long term cost of capital for other projects, rather than trying to squeeze returns from them directly.
> I can extrapolate that most answers will be things like "LGBTQIAPP+" or based on externalities like skin color, but those are low hanging (and imo pretty bland) fruits.

They are overwhelming, brutal, oppressive experiences of millions of people. Not bland, but poison to the people and our society.

> why are you this way and why do you think it's a better way to be than the majority?

I think this majority is non-existent - there is just too much variety. And regardless, I don't care about some 'majority'; I don't make choices for or against them - not in response to them at all. I am what I am, I live the way I want to live, the way that suits me best (which is probably most 'efficient' in many ways, including economically, matching me to resources, needs, etc.). Why would I live any other way? In fact, that attitude puts me in the majority in the US.

The whole argument smacks of another attempt by reactionaries to encroach on the freedom of others, now trying to force conformity to what they want. I'm sure they wouldn't want roles reversed!

I fail to see how this is relevant. It clearly has value and value fluctuates over time.
Government subsidies are everywhere, but some are more indirect (e.g., environmental remediation after companies doing resource extraction take their profits and close up shop leaving a mess behind).

Solar subsidies have paid off in helping build demand and now solar gear is really cheap and the cost is split on the labor to install it (creating local jobs).

I'm going to guess that your folks consume Fox Entertainment programming? They are rather consistent in denigrating renewable energy: https://www.businessinsider.com/fact-check-fox-personalities...

Strictly speaking it wasn't his, it was the originator of that thread, jgarzik, and satoshi replied "We can phase in a change later if we get closer to needing it.", which doesn't strike me as a ringing endorsement.

At any rate, the suggestion was for one increase, not an infinite sequence of increases, which your suggested exponential growth amounts to.
> like a product for older generations with older tastes

Their product is very consistent, as well as the branding. There are very few brands that have been so consistent for so long, See's has always kept things relatively simple, clean, and consistent. It is easy to believe their commitment to quality.

The days of going to the butcher shop, the bread shop, having the dairy deliver, are basically over. See's somehow survived supermarkets and mass production. Seems that the See's family had the perfect candy shop model from the start.
Because the Raspberry Pi Foundation typically negotiates agreements with its resellers stating that they won't sell above MSRP.
Not mentioned yet: QBE (https://c9x.me/compile/)

Although I might recommend interpreter optimizations before you go straight to machine code. While writing a just-in-time compiler for your DSL will remove interpretation overhead in software and in hardware, you will probably want to have more type information so that you can generate better code. Check out my PL resources page, which has multiple sections on runtime optimization: https://bernsteinbear.com/pl-resources/

Happy to chat, if you like.
I guess if the network/power company can't/won't accept surplus power then it hugely devalues the financial case for domestic solar, since if your summertime production doesn't much exceed consumption then you have a big shortfall in the rest of the year. Here (Germany) there are limits on what the network will accept so people play elaborate games of trading off battery charging vs selling across the day, with one eye on the weather forecast.

But in your case you're probably not so much making money from the "free electricity" as reducing the potential loss on the cost of installing and maintaining the system?
Yay! Every site a Stormfront site! This is just what the USA needs, obviously.

Here is a pretty good Guardian article about the study, where I found this a few days ago: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2022/...

> On an actually uncapped Bitcoin instance, Blocks (Block size) and transaction fees will grow exponentially, rendering all such “Bitcoin is environmentally terrible” and “Miners aren’t profitable” calculations absurdly wrong.

This doesn't make any sense.

If anything were to make mining more profitable, we would see even more miners come online.

There is no scenario in which Bitcoin mining becomes less environmentally terrible by paying more money to miners. Those payments incentivize more miners to come online and, if significant enough, would encourage miners to bring older, less efficient equipment online relative to today's rates.
This article is about bitcoin miners. What I'm struggling to understand is, what does any of that have to do with bitcoin miners? Are you just wishing I'd pump BCH or something?

You have to buy the panels. They pay for themselves very quickly. After some initial period it's literally free energy.

My understanding is that net metering makes life more difficult for the utilities but it seems like the right direction to go to make it more robust.
Unless miners start colluding their strategy will become "include every possible transaction with fee greater than $0." which means fees will settle at the smallest possible value greater than 0.
Have you ever been in the military? I'm guessing not.

Glib though your answer is it hasn't been that long since people were shot for not following orders.
