  • Little bit of A, little bit of B.

    In China there’s a lot of big coastal cities with very little open land for development. Putting small amounts of solar onto 1000 skyscrapers vs one big ocean plant, and the additional costs of ocean maintenance start to be less significant.

    Similarly, in some places there may be opportunities to align the deployment of the panels with other systems, e.g., a kelp farm or ocean fish farm where you can collocate ocean structures.

    There’s likely to be lots of new challenges faced by these structures, but it’s still good to work the kinks out now with some pilot projects



  • Idk why I’m going to bat for the dude, because he’s clearly a tool, but my phone probably has a photo of my SO’s ID if you dig hard enough

    Woulda been something like a “I’m buying plane tickets for our vacation, what’s your passport no.” kind of situation. Or, SO: “left my wallet, what’s my DL# so I can pay this parking ticket”.

    Not certain anything is there, but we’ve been together long enough, I’m not certain it’s not there either.

    ETA: Maybe also “we’re going on vacation abroad, State Department recommends keeping a separate copy of our passports in case something happens”

  • The core focus of early crypto was decentralization, not anonymity. Bitcoin is totally decentralized, but the entire premise is the blockchain contains a permanent irrefutable ledger of transactions. Basically everyone knows if Wallet A paid Wallet B. If you refill your wallet with anything remotely traceable, that means everyone knows YOU paid Wallet B, and similarly if wallet B has any ties to the real world, the lines are easy to connect.

    That’s not to say you can’t use it anonymously, but that was not the intent and thus it does anonymity poorly.
