Commoditize your compliments.

As a Canadian, I find the current government's policy on the internet to be very 1990's. I fully support Google's and Meta's decision to remove Canadian news from their platforms. This is a complete "own-goal" by the government.

Ya, I have it on my Corolla. Nothing special.

It's a false equivalence (energy consumption, therefore bad). What if Bitcoin is solving a true market need (that is, preserving wealth in a truly decentralized way)? Would that make it worth the energy consumption?

You only need to look at what the current monetary system is based on -- the petro-dollar. Backed by the might of the US military, consuming crazy amounts of energy. What if Bitcoin eliminates the need for this?

"But people are getting stuck because they can't get results back in the 72 hour window. That's really not cool."

That's their problem. Should have thought of that before going on vacation, etc.

Yup. Apple is closer to Ford and GM than it is to Tesla. Tesla is highly vertically integrated, and probably moving more so. Apple is much less vertically integrated. They design their products, but all their manufacturing is like others -- kinda like Ford and GM.

Completely agree. The world's supply of semiconductors is dependent, in some ways, on the benevolence of the CCP. TSMC is like Arakkis. We need to diversify the supply chain.

ditto! Well done, and thanks for sharing.

It's kind of a dead-end if you ask me.
