There's a pretty big difference between BTC and a burnable fuel. It is not possible to turn BTC back into electricity directly, it is only possible to turn it into electricity by first turning it into money, which then buys more electricity (from any, renewable or non renewable) power source. You can't ship someone a container of memory sticks containing BTC and then they get power out of them without burning more fuel or building more solar panels/other renewables. The much better comparison would be hydrogen, which can be produced using readily available water and renewable electricity, shipped, then burned. The difference is that hydrogen doesn't really produce much in the way of by products when burned.
Step 1 is to get rid of the idea that some people are "criminals" who you shouldn't be interacting with. Over half of Americans have used illicit drugs.

You do you. The rest of us do our tinkering however we choose based upon our own situation, as well. Some people only own the "expensive pocket bauble" (you know, economics are a thing) and they're still out there hacking on it rather than whining about the walled garden. We all know that there are other ecosystems that are more modification-friendly. We don't need to hear your over-qualified internet rant. hence the "nut up" comment. "void my warranty" sheesh. What point are you trying to make?

There are plenty of kids out there tinkering and hacking in the truest sense on iOS and macOS using one of their relative's dev accounts.
Yeah - kind of like leaded gas and DDT, or BPA plastics, no one pays the costs when they are externalised to the environnement/population.

No one paid for the damages caused by DDT - YOU are paying for it by having a crippled biosphere.

If the costs were brought down to you, the meat in a burger would be 20-25$ easy - not thibking about steaks and the like. This would cripple the economy - but it's heavily subsidised

Virtually all of the electrical energy put into a computer is turned into heat, right? Some of it comes out as visible light from the screen and some tiny portion of it is.. converted into information I guess? But generally a 180W computer is putting out very nearly 180W of thermal energy, as I understand it.

My point is that laptops with 90W adapters can get too hot to comfortably touch, I think at 180W you're well past the point where actually using it on your lap is advisable.

True, if we're getting it the traditional way.

Fortunately, iron oxide can be reduced using hydrogen. In the article, they conclude that the system cost of shipping iron and iron oxide back and forth from an electrolysis facility (presumably from renewables) is lower than using hydrogen directly as a fuel.
Yes, in my experience Linux (at least KDE and xfce) is better at being responsive than recent Windows versions on low end machines.
I think the fundamental problem is keeping the huge bio tanks hermetically clean. The cleaning process is very energy intensive as is the medium growing process.

One way to cut cost would be to introduce small cells that seek out and destroy pathogens. We could design a bio tank organ that creates these cells by eating some of the growth medium. Also instead of using a medicine grade medium we could use organic sacks that grow bacteria from plant matter. Then we could move said bacteria to sacks filled with acid that would extract energy to create more biomatter.

Some of the excess energy could be used for the bio-tank to locomote around in the environment and harvest plant matter for digestion. Also by using genetic code we could make these new and improved bio tanks self-replicate.
We could call these new devices Clean Organic Walkers, or Cows for short.
A quote:

>No one wants to be in the video clip as a stone-faced bureaucrat with no good answers, being yelled at by a righteous—or self-righteous—politician fighting the good fight on behalf of the aggrieved public. In front of the cameras, you can’t say things like “it doesn’t work because we were forced to use an ESB.” You would look like you were trying to throw someone else under the bus, and the legislators wouldn’t understand what you were talking about anyway. Your job is simply to endure the hearing, produce as few viral sound bites as possible, and not incriminate others.

>As painful and sometimes humiliating as these hearings are, if you’re a career civil servant, it is the second system of accountability that matters more to you. The legislature can’t fire or officially reprimand you, no matter how bad a job they think you did (although they can put political pressure on the administration to do so). They can’t make you ineligible for promotions and raises. On the other hand, violations of policy, process, and procedure—real or perceived—can do all of that, even if there is no hearing.
Yep, Suse ticks many boxes. I don't know why it isn't more popular. I've installed it in desktop and laptop without issues.
My guess is that any product/brand that wishes to grow beyond a small niche market has to do so by agglomerating features I.e. trying to swallow multiple niches. The push towards economies of scale (and “growth”) makes it really hard for companies to stick with offerings catering to small niches.
Things Windows 10 has to content with when executing a new binary, that Windows 3.51 didn't

2. Kernel32 trampolines

3. All sorts of security mitigation techniques such as stack cookies setup etc.

4. Telemetry

5. Hardware accelerated GUI initiation vs 'dump everything to frame buffer in kernel GUI32 library'

6. Load fonts, graphics etc. that can work well beyond 640x480

7. Deal with the scheduler juggling hundreds of processes that let you from accessing winsock2 lib immediately, to have multiplex sound mixing, to system restore, all in the background.

What is that line? “No one ever got fired for buying IBM”?

I think the main appeal for enterprises is that if their VM’s start going down and thousands flush through the drain every second, someone at Red Hat is there to pick up the phone and hop on a call with their engineers. It makes them and their regulators happy and no other Linux distro offers that. I don’t think they care about open source at all.

From an ecological perspective, nonsense. Economically, somewhat sound.

> healthcare loses their incomes as people become healthier not being obese -> jobs are lost there too, plus those same people will now have a lot of energy and losing their incomes.

In most developed countries, an effect like this would be desperately needed in order to prevent the health care systems from crumbling under the weight of few healthy, young people financing many old and sick people.

Worst case would be Pharma companies making a bit less profit, stable or falling health insurance costs and health care professionals having enough time for their patients. Not exactly a disaster.

> “Places that have excess energy could make iron, and others can buy it. This way, you could commodify renewable energy so it can be globally distributed without the need for transmission lines. Metals can solve a big problem in the renewable energy transition: long-duration energy storage.”

My gut feeling is that transmission lines would still be cheaper. That being said long-term storage seems to be the value proposition here.

In my corner of the world coal is still frequently used to heat homes during winter. A single house uses around 4-6 tonnes of the stuff each season. This heap of coal takes a significant amount of space.

If my back of the napkin calculations are correct, the energy equivalent in iron dust would be half the volume. Of course there's the issue of weight - about 5x that of coal, but perhaps the cost of moving all that iron could be somewhat mitigated by having a rust reprocessing plant in the neighbourhood.
Not sure why this is dead, but AFAIK magnetism in iron and steel is dependent on "domains" of iron molecules that are aligned in a crystal structure so the magnetic effect isn't just scattered to all directions. That's why some kinds of stainless steel aren't magnetic - the adulturant elements break up the crystal structure. In this case I think the question would be whether these particles are big enough to form a "domain" and become magnetic.

Hydrogen is devilishly hard to transport and store. Hydrogen packs a lot of energy per gram, but the density is so low. You need a huge tank if you compress it as a gas, you can liquefy it but the density is still not great, it takes a lot of energy, and you have to deal with this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_isomers_of_hydrogen

freshly liquefied hydrogen contains a lot of stored energy in that form which will be released over time and cause quite a bit to vaporize, for long term storage you have to release that energy.

Thus people have looked at all sorts of schemes for storing hydrogen such as absorbing it in metals like palladium, metal hydrides, chemical carriers such as ammonia, methane, etc.
Making steel from ore using iron seems a bit weird. If you already have a method to reduce the oxide, why not use it on the ore?
> If I enjoy that food and pay for the cost then whats the problem?

Very few activities have costs that can be paid in full by the participant.

In your example, the burden of transforming the land, the carbon footprint of producing the food + transporting it is shared in varying degrees by the community, yet the enjoyment goes only to the purchaser. The cost paid at the store does not offset these other costs.

A free market is wonderful and the best economic system we have, but I think it’s also worth considering the impact our purchases have on the community.
The plane is infinite, so the special property that mathematicians want is that the tiling doesn't contain arbitrarily large repeating patches. Any tiling that necessarily repeats itself will contain arbitrary large repeated (translated) chunks when the whole infinite plane is considered. The tricky thing is to create a set of one or more tiles that can only tile the plane without repetitions.

> The lost submarine in this context had no similar support ship.

Sorry. Are we talking about the same case? I'm talking about the Titan submersible which were lost on 18 June 2023, five days ago as of this writing.

It absolutely had a support ship. The MV Polar Prince. Here is a picture of it towing the submersible out from port a few days before its disappearance: https://i.cbc.ca/1.6885535.1687464250!/fileImage/httpImage/i...

The people lost lived on the support ship, and only boarded the submersible when they arrived right above the Titanic. There the crew from the support ship bolted the crew of the submersible in, and the support ship remained in position and in communication with them until they lost that link. Then they waited for a long time, and only when the submersible was overdue that is when they raised the alarm. The only reason why we did know that the submersible went missing is because those on the support ship raised the alarm.

> And for that there is no reliable technology yet.

You can say that, but you are wrong. Sound waves propagate very well. I think what you might be confused about is that military submarines do not communicate with the shore during operations. They remain silent because if they start to transmit everyone will know where they are. But that is not because there is no reliable technology for it. In fact they can just blast a loud sound wave out with their active sonar and everyone all around the ocean will hear them who cares to listen.

I'm not saying that it is easy. All I'm saying that it is perfectly within our capabilities if we want to.
How do you stop actual terrorist groups from committing actual terrorist attacks, the like of which france has seen recently, without being "authoritarian"? A terrorist is almost always a normal person. They likely will not have committed a crime until they do the terrorism.

Like, this is paradox of tolerance stuff. How do you prevent bad actors from taking advantage of your permissiveness and liberal laws? I'm not saying france is in the right to detain someone for using a simple app, because they aren't, but that this action is on a spectrum, and everyone from governments to your local forum admin is desperately trying to find the right point on that spectrum. So what do you suggest?

If your answer is "don't try to stop the terrorists", then you should understand that human society really hates random violence that isn't "normal", so unless you have some way to make innocents dying for no reason "normal", people will give up any freedom to fix that. Maslow's hierarchy of needs isn't good science but people's desire for "safety" is a very very strong desire.
On a shorter timescale, I also really like using mouthwash to prevent snacking. A well timed rinse leaves a nice minty flavor in my mouth and also somehow completely suppresses the urge to eat carbs.
A minor addition, the agriculture industry had an enormous amount of subsidies and decades of research and work at the global scale to reach the current state. Comparing an early prototype with an industry of this kind is disingenuous at best.
No problem. One easy way to gain confidence that data has actually been wiped instead of just obscured is to use one of the gitrevisions [1] specifiers that sources data from the reflog. For example,

master@{yesterday}

resolves to whatever the reflog thinks the master branch was pointing to 24 hours ago. There are a bunch of places in the GitHub API and UI that look like they only accept a branch or commit OID but actually accept a revision specifier. So e.g

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master@{yesterday}

lets you peek into the reflog for the master branch on torvalds/linux.

I am sorry but this is a ridiculous argument.

What is hard to measure is what could have been done with the money to make the US military stronger but was wasted instead.

The worst part is all these inefficiencies are going to add up over the coming decades when we have to keep up with the PLA/China.

A PLA colonel makes less than a private first class marine and manufacturing anything is an order of magnitude difference.
That's fine and all, but you're not accounting for the fact that we'd need much fewer crops if we fed those crops directly to humans.

All of the problems you perceive about crops apply even more to animal agriculture due to trophic level efficiency loss. You're inadvertently making the case against animal ag.
So you agree that if I pay the cost it's not a problem? You just disagree about what that price is?

In other words, a plant based diet is primarily about your budget?
It’s. A. Trash. Can.

This isn’t some specialized part that the plane requires to fly. It’s just a trash can.

Hell, just go to Target and buy one that’s similarly sized. It would be cheaper to fly across the country to find one at this point.
You can't extract energy from iron by nuclear fusion, which is how stars "burn" fuel, but this is a chemical process, Fe + O2 => (some Fe&O compound) + energy.

Not sure I agree, on one hand you have actual, physical potential energy, on the other hand you have numbers on a computer that could become worthless depending on unpredictable economic factors.
Yeah, ok. But I would really love it if content creators stopped putting kindergarten emotion faces on thumbnails. Replacing a doorknob will never require a level of emotion indicated by hands on cheeks eyes wide “Oh” face… So just please, please stop.

That seems uncharitable to the OP. Context is important. I think that in the present cultural climate, the OP's interpretation is entirely reasonable. He isn't saying European settlers or colonizers didn't make bad decisions (though often we are fed tendentious caricatures here), or denying that there might be something that can be learned from a native population. It's the forced emphasis.

Writing is not just producing a bag of atomic propositions. What is written must be justified and relevant. When something forced occurs within some piece of writing, it betrays a bias, or even an ulterior motive. In this case, controlled burns (or letting natural wildfires play out) aren't a new thing. They're older than agriculture, and they are and have been used across the world in modern times for some time. Look at a live map of forest fires and you'll notice how many are controlled burns. It's not as if we're considering the use of controlled burns for the first time and discovering some long-forgotten wisdom of the natives here. Frankly, what's weird is that California is just now doing this.

But I also wouldn't make a big deal out of this article either. I think learning about precolonial practices like this is interesting, regardless of the bias or motives of the article's author.
Most livestock in the west is kept in poor conditions and fed grains. Fully grass-fed meat is not common here. Also, it takes about 4 years for a cow to be fully grown and ready for slaughter. How little CO2 and methane do you imagine a cow produces during that time?!
