Surely that cannot be? If some relatively large set of Bitcoin related energy consumption happens in datacenters. Then how does it consume more than those datacenters? This only works out if all non-DC bitcoin related power usage (At ho

Because they aren't the same kind of "thing". Data isn't manifested in physical space in the same way as "my house" is. For one, my home is in one physical place. A bad actor needs to at least get to me, to...

This again? Making effective encryption that lets law makers access our data, isn't just "hard" in the traditional sense. I'm willing to bet it's impossible (At least with the kinds of technologies we'll have i

I'm a Xoogler myself, I understand the struggle. And I agree that I've never known any individual Googler to be evil, or intend to be evil (Although I've seen questionable decision making at times). But whilst no one Googler
