There are many ways to mask your "real" ip address, VPN being an easy start.

My take on it is I would rather code than ask the machine to code. It's frustrating though how many open source projects now are overrun with massive PRs and nobody to code review them. This feels like fallout from too much reliance

Buddha recommended to his followers a diet which consisted of a breakfast and a second meal at noon if needed. That is, for their health, primary meal early in the day and fasting the remainder. It's interesting that this advice seem

Yeah, I had it swapped around. "Said another way, I have a property worth X, but next year it will be worth more because money is inflationary."

This feels like the argument for why not deflationary currency. Said another way, I have a property worth X, but next year it will be worth more because money is deflationary. Why would I want to sell my house this year when I can wait un

I love the ethos of this movie. That it was about hacking and building things for fun, not for money and profit. This to me is what hacking and programming has always been about. It's too bad that overinflated salaries and the hype

I've managed to kick all social media except Github. That for me is the most difficult if you want to collaborate on software projects. No, I don't consider hacker-news to be social media, rather a news aggregator with a message

Thats because POW solves the Byzantine Generals problem as I understand it. Before POW, that problem was intractable (extremeley non-trivial). Its always lammented that so much energy is needed to solve the problem, although that seems to

In a sense, a POW blockchain such as bitcoin can convey global time/global clock if all participants understand the average block propagation is 10 "minutes"? Sometimes longer, sometimes shorter but converges to 10 minutes i

Agree that not all gdp is equal or beneficial. However, I think most people would be remiss to the idea of giving up on science and technology and a return to the agricultural era.

I think in the sense that if you look at the ratio of say GDP ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nomi... ) to CO2 emission, you could get _a_ metric of efficiency. The product produced vs the emis

You could argue the useful application has been that of a time-stamping service, which is what you need to order a transaction history.

In terms of Bitcoin consensus, it is actually the chain with the most work, not the longest chain.

Talk about skipping a `1.0` release. Is anyone else scratching their heads about this? Here https://hg.sr.ht/~icefox/oorandom/rev/46ca789e6bb68cfc5d838f... the project jumps from a 0.1.0 release to 9.3.0.

Why not just turn off the mining equipment when curtailment kicks in, and flip it back on again when there is excess?
24.
by dollylambda 11mo ago
You don't need to run it 24/7 to make a profit because the energy is essentially free or stranded, therefore the only cost is that of the equipment. I think the amount here is more than enough to pay for a few SHA256 specific CPU

Dumping excess energy into something like Bitcoin mining is an interesting way to spend excess green energy that would otherwise fizzle. Mining Bitcoin is sort of ideal for this type of situation because it doesn't matter the frequenc
