Outrail posted:Are solar powered bitcoin rigs environmentally acceptable? no they displace that amount of actual useful demand which is then typically filled by coal. and since it’s only economically viable to run miners 24/7* year round it is useless from a load management perspective. none of this waste is necessary for the system to function nor does it improve performance - you could run bitcoin on an NES at today’s transaction times if you wanted. *partially this is because miners depreciate at a colossal rate - also at enormous environmental cost.

But the bitcoin rig makes the money to buy more cells and more rigs and pretty soon the planet is carpeted with solar powered bitcoin rigs with unlimited energy from the cells and unlimited money from the bitcoin rigs so we're all rich and have great suntans (from the solar cells).

However, a technological quirk allows some leakage from daycare land; the apps’ notifications come to my iPhone from Apple’s servers instead of Amazon’s, so I can still see updates coming in (“New potty for Ellev,” “New meal for Ellev”) even if I can’t check the app to see what my daughter is eating or excreting. why would you want something like this. why

Clipperton posted:just reading the amazon now and wtf is this poo poo daycares have already been doing poo poo like noting down every event that happens during your kid's day and then giving each parent a ~personalized report~ of the kid's day at the end of the day, or things like that it's loving catnip for the kind of upper-middle class white parents who have been trained to be as involved as possible in every second of their kid's day, even when it's a loving toddler who's spending a third of their day in daycare while the parents are both sitting around bored in offices all day. it's also a way for daycares to distinguish themselves from each other in an era where community is dead and every single middle-class service is actually run by a rotating staff of minimum-wage near-slaves behind the scenes. it makes the parents feel more like that little Aiden is getting specialized, individual attention once they started having the workers note down the times and anecdotes in computers instead of on paper, it's only a little extra to have it send automated updates or whatever. a lot of the time it also involves pictures and funny videos being sent out, as kind of a social media-ization of daycare what kind of 31-year-old mid-low-level manager doesn't want to check on their toddler's naptime status between meetings?

no, they don't want to be involved, they want to feel involved through reading reports, assessing scorecards, evaluating performance and indicators, but it's all bullshit loving hell, the one year old kid is already trained to ask the domestic robot to play movies to her, and the mother is befuddled for a moment before she realizes she can play - no, that she can distract the child with a toy plus imagine being the overworked daycare worker who has to write up the inane notes on what the child did that day, christ
