Iceland has every reason to be wary, mining algorithms and technological advancement ensure that whatever equipment you have will be obsolete soon enough. The crypto-mining company might still exist in a year or two but it might not. These companies run on a month-by-month basis and they'll happily up sticks and move to another country if the electricity is cheaper.
If they're not making sure that these crypto mining companies pay for the electricity generating equipment then they could easily be left with big generating capacity and no customers to use it and pay for the loans that were made to build it.
You seem to be conflating social media with the whole of the internet. And your post is mostly baseless drivel with any logical reasoning, you need some more of that common sense that you speak of.
The downsides of social media are outweighing the few upsides. The downsides are: Full of memes and false information, a very bad place to learn. Confirmation bias. Attention span destroying Anti-social Propaganda Advertising aka brainwashing Herd mentality Bullying Gambling (loot crates).....Plenty more
Whilst I'm not saying some of your points are outright wrong, you are vastly overstating the level of affect.
Make a toaster that can toast bread evenly, this current bunch of retards can't even make a toaster that toasts the whole slice from top to bottom, a 5 year old could explain what the solution to that problem is.
1) " Trust nobody" Except the people who run the crypto currency, like bitcoin which is being run very badly and lightning which doesn't really exist yet. Do you know who all the players in any given crypto-currency are? Do you really trust them more than the government .
So far as I'm concerned cyrpto currencies deserve to die, the people that created them have shown nothing but greed and complete disdain for the environment. They could of tried to come up with solutions to lessen the amount of electricity needed to create crypto-currencies but they haven't, so fuck them, their currencies should die.
I don't think you get how this science stuff works, confirmation bias is for people who read conspiracy sites, partisanship if for politicians, science is not about these things, science is about having good method, good sources and being peer reviewed. This isn't the first study to show that we can achieve 100% renewables with storage and it won't be the last because it has been shown to be possible.
The bias, preconceptions partisanship are yours, the anti-intellectualism is coming from you, go look in a mirror.
They knew he might mistake the drill for a real event because he had done so before. They said "this is not a drill" which is very obviously not something anyone should say during a drill FFS.
They didn't check or get any confirmation that he knew it was a drill. They didn't tell him beforehand that there was going to be a drill. And then they sacked him!!!!!!!!!!
I sincerely hope he wins and gets a nice sum of damages but not an absurd amount.
There is room for improvement, in Firefox I have old style text menu, nav buttons, URL box, Search Box and dozens of bookmarks in 3/4 of the space that chrome or Firefox default uses to put half the amount of stuff. By default applications waste space with empty title bar and half empty menu bar. For some app's this doesn't matter, for a browser it's a horrible waste.
Unlikely he'll go to jail, he's a kid and this is the UK. Having said that, strings could get pulled or threats made, it likely depends on what the judge gets up to in his spare time.
And what's stopping you from putting the majority of your crypto-coin into a wallet and then you know, ENCRYPTING that wallet with a good password. Then you can back it up everywhere and anywhere because it's encrypted. I back up my passwords to my email accounts because they're safely encrypted.
This is one of those situations where you have to recognise you can't win the argument because every time you say something the reply is something that doesn't make any sense causing the argument to increase in mass.
And google don't have a fucking clue what a hacker is, for them, anyone who uses VPN must be some kind of hacker judging by the crap they throw at me in the form of horribly annoying captchas. Never mind that I'm logged in to gmail and youtube FFS.
That's better. I could point that it went down by 50% in the last few weeks. Is anybody here betting it's about to quadruple in the near future? If so, I've got some Bitcoin to sell you...
The word you looking for is out. I'll let you figure it...
You're really missing the point, this 4.4mm connector serves no purpose what-so-ever that isn't already served by 3.5mm and other already existing audio connectors. Why are Sony even pushing this? For patent revenue? USB-C for audio makes sense since that will likely become the predominate phone connector.
They need to take a leaf out of our book, those falls are phenomenal for the UK. But the elephant in the room is now natural gas, it is a greenhouse gas and we need to plan to move away from it. I feel that it's a half-way house that politicians are not dealing with a way of moving out of.
Looks like the sum quoted wouldn't pay the rent for a small studio flat in Helsinki: https://www.expatistan.com/cos... Maybe rent is paid for separately.

I checked, it's not a thing.
I could find no mention of any executions.

So you like to read right wing nut job sites then.

Is there not a point whereby the judge says proceedings are taking too long, IE deadlines and will close a case if those deadlines are not met?

Everyone using smart phones and social media would be my guess, more people distracted and hitting the car in front in traffic jams and at junctions.

I agree with KB, they're Google, they were Google before, they are Google now. Shouldn't even bother with the A-Z thing.
And google don't have a fucking clue what a hacker is, for them, anyone who uses VPN must be some kind of hacker judging by the crap they throw at me in the form of horribly annoying captchas. Never mind that I'm logged in to gmail and youtube FFS.

Doublespeak, Facebook looks for the best outlets for propaganda.

No, He'll just get gigantic bonuses when he goes back to work for them or he'll become a lobbyist. 'Revolving door'.

So what do you call it when 50% of your 'product' wanders off? It's a moot point really. Revenue is not customer based here, it's user based.

They may well of done but that doesn't change the fact that their electricity is cheap with a ton of fees and taxes to the point where those fees and taxes are 80% of the total for residential customers.
