@Carnage the credit card companies don't charge an effective 50% markup to process your fee though unless you're doing prices in the region of individual euros.

Much less a 150% processing fee like that transaction. Though I think that sound you hear may be the yawning of @Carnage's sarchasm.

@izzion I may have misread for the fees and missed the sarcasm - posting after just waking from a post dinner nap is about as effective as my laptop waking up after being hibernated for the night thanks to Compatibility Telemetry.

@boomzilla I am recalling that NFT of a physical object which was sealed in a vault, where you would be allowed to visit and look upon the object once/year but not take it with you.

There are not Dutch Imperial Pools. We do recognize the Olympic swimming pool as a unit, but I'm not sure what the conversion factor to SI units is

@PleegWat About 1/2 futbol fields.

generally 102 meters /112 yards so yes ... 1/2 of a soccer field gives you an olympic pool length.

YUup. One problem. The OSP is a unit of volume.

So compare a cubic football field with a square OSP. Both now have the same units (m6) so the comparison is valid.

I would have thought that most water-cooling setups would use a closed, circulating system, not a "run it straight from the tap to the drain" system. Pumps are cheap(ish), electricity is cheap(ish), and water isn't that cheap, is it?

water isn't that cheap
If you pump it from a lake and don't use it for human consumption, it's really cheap

Then the article is still disingenuous, because it's not like the water gets "used up" when that happens, though if you add enough heat to water, it's bad for living things. But to actually check the details on that.

You'd still need to get the heat out of the water. Much easier to just dump the water together with the heat.
-
You can also find someone or something that needs hot water and turn your waste into profit. Some data centers already do that.

I'm pretty sure there is a limit on the temperature difference between cooling water taken in and put back out. Something to the tune of 2°C.

Just run a lot of water through the cooler. You can pull a lot of heat out with very little increase in the water temperature.

I'm a little surprised there aren't more datacenters up along mountains with rivers. It's not like you're using the water for electricity generation after all.

Banks want to chase the crypto buck — they think it’s cheap, free money from morons. This is true, but only if you break as many laws as crypto does.

He also claims it only happened because he was using different wallet software than the one he created because of some excuse about test versions and that his software would have caught it.
Then someone proves it wouldn't.

A "job interview" may empty your wallet. Downloading some projects from githb, analyzing them, and then talk with the interviewer about the solution are somehow involved in the scam.

But don't worry, AI totally isn't a scam bubble, it's way more legit than the primary thing it's taking money away from.

@topspin It's not itself a total scam, but by my conservative estimate there are roughly one trillion scams built around it. Thinking about it, it's not equivalent to cryptocurrencies, it's equivalent to blockchain. Remember a few years ago when blockchain was going to blockchainize the blockchain revolution, blockchainelly, with even more blockchain than anyone ever blockchained before? Yeah...
-
@blek the only thing I remember is people saying “yeah, maybe bitcoin isn’t that great, but the underlying blockchain technology is still revolutionary.”
I haven’t seen a single use of it that’s not better served by non-blockchain tech. (Unless you consider git to be blockchain.)
