ethereum moved to proof of stake sometime back. BTC and I think a few other (very) minor cryptos still use proof of work which is where the significant power usage goes. Not something I track but I believe the vast majority of non-BTC cyptos are proof of stake or something not proof of work anyway and BTC is the only one that uses proof of work and is used at all. That might not exactly be technically correct but it is in the practical realm.
If he had to worry about simple things in life like food, shelter and paying the rent perhaps he’d be a bit more grounded in what’s important in life and not lose sleep over a potential problem and stop a life equivalent of shitposting on humanity. Perhaps being a billionaire should be seen as a type of mental health issue.
let’s tax income above say $1M per year at 100% for his own good.
Took me a moment to realize what exodus this was referring to which I guess answers the question. I deleted my fairly old account during the AMA at the beginning and I do not miss it. From time to time I have been back for those specific things that have developed communities that do not really exist on kbin but I’ll never post there again and I probably visit the R site maybe twice a month.
While kbin doesn’t have everything that I hope that it would, so far I find it good and I visit daily.
So these days my only social media, if you call kbin that, are kbin and Mastodon. X, FB, insta, whatever corporate BS are all 0% usage for me now. Very occasionally I view tildes but I don’t even have an account there.
I don’t think he was anyone’s favorite. If I recall correctly he was going to lose in Indiana before T picked him up to use him.
Let’s see.
If (voiceRecording = TRUE && BMI > 30) {
Type2Flag = “yes”
IPOValuation = IPOValuation * 1000
}
I am not sure the people who were in that hospital care that much. Both Israel and Hamas share blame in this situation no matter who’s rocket it was.
I think that is all true. He did his best to avoid the deposition and when suddenly forced into it, dropped the case. If I have it right, his witness list was him and Cohen - “my word vs yours” doesn’t make for a legit sounding $500M suit. I think it was done purely for revenge reasons. He dragged Cohen through the process, caused significant legal expenses etc.

His site sounds reasonable at least.
Not that I really know anything about this but isn’t this a state’s rights issue? Don’t states determine their own ballets? Anyway, this will be interesting to watch. I’d like to think we can’t be sure of the results.
No matter how it goes, I think this will be damaging to the GOP which is fine by me. They married the criminal and I am sure there are those who wish to cut him loose and those who can’t give him up.
Um, sure Vlad, that makes sense.
Safer than negotiating a ceasefire as a theory, maybe. Safer than negotiating a ceasefire with the RF? No.
Wait what, a tank in a warzone got blown up? Who could have predicted something like this could have happened? Totally unexpected and I am sure no one thought this was possible before sending it in. It’s almost like there is a cost to war.
Or sticks depending on how it goes.
I don’t think anyone considers them not to be incredibly dangerous. But in terms of logistics, organization, strategy, and leadership they have proven to be nothing like they were imagined.
I am no expert but my understanding is that plain old artillery is the main tool being used in this conflict, and that’s like how long have people been shooting cannons at one another? If you have 20x as much artillery as your more competent opponent you’re still very dangerous.
I wish Ukraine the best vs the invaders and I think they will prevail, but there is no doubt the cost will be high.
Overall I think it is not a good idea to criticize people who were on the mountain for what they may or may not have done. It isn’t a normal environment and people are often not fully in their right minds. Decision-making is often poor or confused and people can be certain of things that are not correct. I don’t believe the history of rescue attempts on K2, especially from dangerous areas is good and has led to even bigger disasters.
Now if an expedition company did in fact know he was inexperienced and sent him to the upper section of one of the world’s most dangerous mountains improperly equipped. Anyone involved in that decision should face consequences. Experienced and well-equipped people up on K2 are already taking a huge risk so sending anyone who doesn’t meet that standard is negligent to an extreme.
And further as the article suggests there needs to be a foundation or insurance policy of some sort that will support the family of someone like this.
K2 is an incredibly dangerous mountain. The possibility of a rescue attempt would depend on many factors that we have no way to know. In these sorts of situations even other climbers nearby might have a complete different opinion. In many cases like this people are often not thinking correctly believing they saw something that wasn’t even there or just completely misperceived due to attitude or exhaustion or illness.
70%/30% victory last I looked which is absolutely massive and a crushing defeat of this GOP cynical attempt to repress the will of the people.
Not long ago I think many people felt certain rights were theirs forever and never going to be lost and so there was no reason to fight. Watching what happens when a supreme court made up of people who promised congress that they would repost precedent and that Roe was settled law turn out to be corrupt liars and religious nuts with no underlying principles except those that support what they want at the moment was an extreme wake-up call. At least I hope so.
I assume that most of the few of these that actually get made, will end up being parked on rich people’s lawns as some sort of weird post-modern art meme sculpture or whatever.
