Each year, we waste 1.05 billion tonnes of food, contributing 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Once the security falls, the price & Mkt Capital will fall.

Some future day ETH will flip over the market value of BTC.

BTC is stored electric compute spent on PoW computations.

People eager to run compute to increase the hash rate will ensure some value. However, as AI is more profitable & takes away the compute, then the BTC algorithm will proportionately reduce the difficulty & security of the network.

Yes, as a veteran, I can see that this is offensive and grossly disproportionately aggressive. The current fleet should be reduced and the funding redirected to economic and health infrastructure.

Perhaps, even reducing the national debt.

US Senator Sanders favors Trump plan to take stake in Intel and other chipmakers Liberal U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders on Wednesday threw his support behind President Donald Trump's plan to convert U.S. grants to chipmakers, including $10.9 billion for Intel, into government stakes in the companies.

Bernie gets it right.

Transit ridership in major French urban areas is now substantially higher than it was in 2015β€”while in the US, it's still way down. No major US urban area has higher per-capita ridership than it had a decade ago. On this metric, the US is headed in the wrong direction. www.urban.org/urban-wire/t...

Illustration of how gerrymandering is cheating

Illustration of how gerrymandering is cheating

To media, politicians and everyone else, your semi-regular reminder.

They don’t have to hack voting computers, or corrupt the count, or ballot-stuff, to β€œsteal an election.”

Voter suppression is cheating.

And so is gerrymandering.

Stop normalizing them when you insist an election was β€œfair.”

Republicans just passed a law that will take health insurance away from millions of Americans, make health care unaffordable and inaccessible for millions more, and take food away from hungry kids.

All so they can pass a tax cut for the wealthiest Americans.
