So what if Russia says "yeah we agree who ever has the most hash power wins", then the US diverts all it's energy into ASICs and filling the air with smog from the coal fired powered plants. Then on the day of the hash test Russia just reveals that it lied and invested in tanks and guns then rolls though DC in a day?

oh god. the verge is doing a "year of NFT" thing and wrote a bunch of articles. i wouldn't say they're pro NFT but they're also not really uh anti NFT? i only read this one so far about nba top shot https://www.theverge.com/23153620/nba-top-shot-nft-bored-ape-yacht-club quote:When I speak to Libruary — his username — for this story, he’s in Bali. He’d quit his job. He’s thinking of moving to Portugal. He’s dabbled in a lot of projects, he says; he mostly mints NFTs to flip them. And it all started with Top Shot. quote:When I spoke to Libruary last year, he’d been a sports card collector who liked that Moments were easier to display and more portable than his physical card collection. He’d even posted about his enthusiasm in a sports card forum in October 2020, where someone replied to his post by posting a GIF of a child tossing money from a window.

I feel like this is becoming a more pervasive problem as societal interaction moves ever more into social media space, where you can either passively or actively filter your interactions so you can avoid being told you're wrong. We're all being drawn into echo chambers and some of them are more warped than others. I'll admit, when Trump was hospitalized I was paying attention to the twitter-space that was arguing he was in much worse shape than he was letting on: smuggling an oxygen tank under his jacket when boarding the plane to the hospital, suspicion that the videos he was posting about immediately getting back to Presidenting were filmed in advance, etc. Maybe the big difference between my trip into that echo chamber and the coiner chamber is that when Trump recovered, my interest in the story was over and I didn't carve out my own personality to fill in the empty space with more deranged conspiracy.

Ultimately I never saw any proof brought forward about any of it, and I've moved on with my life knowing I won't get confirmation on it one way or the other.

Deep Glove Bruno posted:still ate poo poo where it counts: on the donkey kong arcade machine also I'm embarrassingly wrong: it was Jimmy Doolittle flying a B-25 Mitchell, named after the aforementioned Billy Mitchell, who lead the raid on Tokyo in 1942. However, Mitchell did see the future of naval aviation. I'm not sure what either man's high score in Donkey Kong was, though

Flowers for QAnon posted:“Computers were a big invention that allowed programmers to create programs that output controlled electrical signals. This technology was so disruptive it caused society to classify hardware and software programming separately. This thesis presents a theory on the invention of non-physical tokens that require physical energy expenditure to create (such as bitcoin). This, the biggest invention ever, will enable conversion of physical war (and the cost of life) by humans into cyber warfare performed digitally. This could cause society to perceive physical warfare and cyber warfare as distinctly different. Software doesn't I think this thread finally found its Stimpire copypasta

Interesting article. Some research showing what's long been suspected, that the vast majority of mining power is concentrated in a few entities. Mostly focused on the early years of bitcoin, but one interesting part is that at one point there was an entity controlling >50% of the mining power.

None of them seemed like true believers when they left, but who knows now. I work for a tech finance startup and a few developers have left. Not because they think theres anything to crypto, but the money they get bribed with is huge. Take the money in actual money and go back to whatever after the bubble bursts

I wouldn't want to be on the job market when that happens. Tech is actually used to maintain things people both want (entertainment) and need (medicine, traffic/cargo) in real life, while finance sucks but is how other sectors get money for things. This bubble bursting might contract value, but it won't be the cause of any recessions (indeed it might resolve some elements of a recession, since resources stuck feeding mining clusters could then go to sectors that actually need those goods).
