  • Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption

  • Not all crypto are the same.Nano has been designed as digital money.It has no mining, 0 fees (none for transactions, none for opening accounts), finalizes transactions sub-second (typically), has no built-in throughput limits and works across (political) borders.I'd say these attributes offer some use and value.

  • I see it quite simplistic: if it isn't listed as SI unit by the BIPM it isn't one.Lending a helping hand on how to deal with derived units (e.g. km/h) doesn't mean those derived units are endorsed as SI units.But that's just my point of view.

  • Why not using SI units and m/s?

  • The enginnering part is for sure one of the reasons we don't see that idea in the wild (yet?).The fire hazard at home and degradation when stored full or empty (speaking of lithion ion based batteries here) go away if you lean on the rental approach.Wouldn't it be nice to save investment and weight by using the required amount of battery capacity while still being able to extend the range of your car easily when needed?

  • Wpuld you rather purchase an 80 kWh battery, alrhough you need most of the time only 20 kWh or purchase only 20 kWh and rent/swap some batteries when needed?I'm no talking about renting all battery capacity the whole year, just the extra capacity for the 2-4 weeks in the year when long-distance rides are in the mix.

  • It wouldn't be necessary very often unless you'd want to take advantage of swapping instead of reloading.

  • Then buy it. No need to rent it then.The main focus was on flexible energy packs not on the renting, although I'd find it convenient if done right.

  • I'm still dreaming of seeing EVs with flexible battery space, which users can fill according to their needs.Like a car comes with space for 10x 10 kWh slots.If 20 kWh serve your usual needs, the other spaces remain empty.And if you plan longer trips and don't want to recharge each 100 miles, you put in additional batteries. Those batteries don't need to be owned, but can be rented.Ideally there are lots of battery rental stations, where you can get charged batteries and instead of recharging the batteries in the EV, the rent'n'swap stations recharge them.During (EV) wise low use times, these stations can provide a buffer to the energy grid....one can dream...

  • Childhood vaccine exemptions are at an all-time high. Doctors worry diseases like measles could return

    Jump

  • Right, but that doesn't consider the part where it's about

    people will suffer who had no say in this or may actually not be eligible for vaccinations.

    It's one thing to risk your own health/life, but an entirely different thing to risk others' health/lives.

  • Do you know the old saying:if privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy.

    Just because people might do stuff with things that isn't intended or even illegal doesn't mean you should be banning said things.Otherwise we'd be in a world where we have no kitchen knives, axes, wrenches, food, money, cars, planes, ships, bikes, hands, feet - you know what I mean?
