I worked at Trader Joe's for about a year. It blew big time, I and my coworkers all had to work poo poo hours closing the store every single night cause deliveries come in daily. A friend of mine worked stocking beverages after close for a few years and his body is now all hosed up from the lifting. We had one dude who was ripped and very good at doing the overnight beverage stocking and everyone liked him but he got fired because he smoked weed before he came into work once.

Of course every time I talk to people who go to Trader Joe's they're always like "wow the employees seem so happy there!!" If you don't act friendly enough you get in major trouble though.

The concept of using a currency where you need to use endlessly growing amounts of computational power to mint new units of it is just unfathomably stupid.

so there really is no provision in bitcoin for reducing power consumption whatsoever huh? the difficulty of the hash is adjusted depending on the total power of the bitcoin network, but if one party has more than 51% of the total power in the network, they can start falsifying things.

so as bitcoin gets more popular it just has to use more energy, forever. lol it really is insane

Chakan posted:

Unless I'm misremembering, Bitcoin reviews the total processing power used to generate the last block and uses that as the basis for the next block, so that it always takes roughly the same time to mine the next block. It then distributes the mined bitcoins from the block (unequally?) based on the processing power contributed. So long as it's seen as worthwhile to mine, it will always be worth putting more energy into it, like a monstrous version of the prisoners dilemma. Is that right?

Theoretically if everyone decided to reduce the total amount of computing power devoted to bitcoin at the same time then the environmental impact could be majorly mitigated but that would require either the ability to trust other bitcoin users, or a central authority that could force people to comply.

Otherwise after everyone reduces their computing power, some party could swoop in and easily perform a 51% attack

we'll make so much money on financial speculation that if China goes hostile we'll simply pay them to leave us alone.

if we're the ones who start hostilities with China we will simply airdrop free money over the entire Chinese civilian populace, winning hearts and minds and removing the need for weapons manufacturing.

i went to college in NYC and it was a nice experience but I did have to commute and it blew because it was a ~1hr train ride from NJ to NYC and I had to spend a million years in nasty old Penn Station every day, and sometimes I would miss transfer trains in Newark Penn and then I'd be stuck there for an extra hour doing nothing.

Seems like the MTA and NJ Transit are both absolutely crumbling but hey you know. I still liked it better than driving everywhere.
