another real fact: "Between 1964 and 1973, the United States conducted a covert "Secret War" in Laos, dropping over two million tons of ordnance during 580,000+ bombing missions, "

I’m about to read King Leopold’s Ghost. Great choice in username.

I must say it’s a little disappointing that things like “secret bombing campaigns” getting declassified don’t lead to much public response.


The revelation of secret bombing campaigns was one of the main reveals of The Pentagon Papers by Daniel Ellsberg. This arguably turned American public opinion against the war decisively as it revealed the USA had no cohesive strategy for winning and was repeatedly lying to the American public about the multiple fronts of the war in Southeast Asia for more than twenty years.

in few years the filters they will implent to AI models will be insane too. right now it only blocks bad content. future will be limitef for info

After more than 8 years of waiting with paid deposit, people don't even have a releasing date? how is this not a real fraud? what am I missing here? It's not a spaceship that would take decade(s) to make.

as long as he holds voting stock majority, he is good for centuries. nobody can even fire him from a publicly trading corp.

What if he starts sending his AI clone to the board meetings and it votes to fire him and replace him with itself? :P

Wtf I love AI replacement dystopias now.

This is just a lie. Coindesk is the worst media in the world.

They can't calculate correct price of mining because it's more complex and enerrgy costs are different in so many regions and inside the electiric producers etc. !


It’s not a lie, nor a damn lie. It’s statistics!

Exactly: "The average production cost was sitting at $88,000 per bitcoin in mid-March". Emphasis on average. Just as in a free market, those miners with higher mining costs are priced out of the market. Or are pressured to become more efficient. Those that are below-average probably already are efficient.

You left off the critically important part of the quote, IMO...

> ... according to Checkonchain's difficulty regression model

It's a guess based on oil costs (as a proxy for energy costs). Personally I think it is completely worthless.


did you calculate it with real inflation adjusted price? not the BS numbers in financial media, FED etc. Since 2020 unlimited printer, inflation is not few %.

What authoritative number did you have in mind, oh economic sage?

The correct number would still be somewhat negative (deflationary), as you'd expect. BLS says -8% https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUUR0000SEEE01?output_view=d...

yes but increasing solar will damage the energy lobby in the congress and other places. It's never about what is best, it's about what's best for lobby and their puppets


If you won't think of the energy corridor, who will?
