As long as bitcoin's price dictates the rest of other coins' prices, it won't matter that there are "better" coins. Whenever bitcoin has a surge or a big drop, every other coin follows.

I wish there was an uninhabited, autonomous zone for folks who want "freedom" to play out their dangerous ideas away from the rest of society in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

You might be interested in the history of Kowloon Walled City after WW2

As a result of the absence of any widely recognized bureaucracy, the city's residents and businesses had no municipal codes to govern them. Enabled by the enclave's anarchic nature, trade in banned products thrived, ranging from narcotics to dog meat. From the 1950s to the 1970s, it was controlled by local triad gangs and had high rates of prostitution, gambling, and drug abuse.

Not always. During rush hour, most buses will operate at their maximum passenger capacity, if you're one of the many that's not seated, it's anything but relaxing or comfortable.

Since the whole problem lies with parents' work schedule, we should all push work time to begin at 10am instead of 8am, so kids can get to school a bit later in the morning. Everybody gets to sleep a bit more. Problem fucking solved

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

Huh, I wonder if I could've used that explanation back in my school days for some of my low grades. I don't think temperatures went over 33ºC, but 30º is a norm to this day (Brazilian midwest), but the majority of classrooms had nothing to help air circulate.

I asked my alter ego whether that definition of socialism was right and he said that I should ask my other alter ego, who said that this looks shopped, but couldn't confirm for some reason, so he went on to ask one of his sockpuppet imaginary friends whether this was true and came back with a slap to my face.

So, there you have it, slap on my face/true

Chico Pinheiro entrevista Miguel Nicolelis - 17/03/25 (www.youtube.com)
 

Entrevista com alguns meses agora, mas muito interessante. Miguel Nicolelis é um dos mais importantes neurocientistas do mundo. Alguns dos assuntos tratados incluem o trabalho dele com implantes neurológicos pra controlar exoesqueletos, algumas histórias dele recebendo premiação na China, porquê o Brasil não aproveita bem os próprios cientistas (política)

Dude says: "I'm not worried about the AI apocalypse, I always say "thank you" to them!"
Robots later catch him and state: "Throw that one in the grinder, his "thank you" used 748kw/h every day"

YSK: You can make supercapacitors out of cement, water and carbon black (news.mit.edu)
 

A 2023 study at MIT made this discovery, which could be a boon for storing electricity.

The team calculated that a block of nanocarbon-black-doped concrete that is 45 cubic meters (or yards) in size — equivalent to a cube about 3.5 meters across — would have enough capacity to store about 10 kilowatt-hours of energy, which is considered the average daily electricity usage for a household.

3.5 cubic meters of material ought to be enough to make quite a comfy house

There is a tradeoff between the storage capacity of the material and its structural strength, they found. By adding more carbon black, the resulting supercapacitor can store more energy, but the concrete is slightly weaker, and this could be useful for applications where the concrete is not playing a structural role or where the full strength-potential of concrete is not required.

They talk about making roads with the material, but I suspect electrical posts (utility poles) could also be made of this, which would certainly last much longer than roads and be cheaper to maintain and fix

The worst part of getting old is that you get less and less "first experiences" and are always comparing current with previous ones (programming.dev)
 

Double edged sword, since it's good that we can actually remember said experiences and maybe pass the wisdom down.

Steam summer sale going on... This is my haul (from GOG) (infosec.pub)
 

23 games + 1 DLC^[I nearly bought Blades of Time Limited edition, then I saw that I already had the base game in my library. It's one of the things that pisses me off with GOG, it won't say you own the game if you have the base/deluxe/platinum/definitive/whatever edition but are looking at a different version, and will gladly let you buy it again] for R$180 (~32 USD)

I know some of those aren't exactly bangers, or might just barely be considered good, but I ~~won't even play them all anyway^[I really need to get my shit together and start playing instead of just buying]~~ enjoy looking at subpar games from time to time
