Because you want all heaters to *sound* like a bitcoin mining rig running at full tilt? There's very good reason not to buy the cheapest heater you can find.

The only person wooshed here is you yourself. Bitcoin mining rigs don't generate any money, not one cent due to the specialised nature of mining. They are space heaters, ugly, noisy and oversized space heaters. Nothing more.

Where do new bitcoins come from? Dedicated mining ASICs which for a couple of watts of power can crunch more bitcoin than your best GPU on a good day. You're not getting any portion of the profits because you are horrendously inefficient at what you're doing.

You know what is truly idiotic? The kind of person who thinks "clinical associate professors" is a made up name and attempts to use it in a derogatory way while talking about a specific role describing *practical* teaching of university reserach. You would learn much more from a clinical professor than a tenured one. Heck you would learn much more from a homeless bum on the street than whatever lead you in your life to make your stupid post.

The question is, is it more effective than just running a heating coil? The point is for those people mining bitcoins at home, they will never make a single cent. So all you've achieved is make an inefficient (size wise) radiative heat that could be better replaced with a heating coil and a fan.

It remains the worst and most expensive way to heat.

You don't need to understand math to understand why something is done and why it is a waste of time doing it. It's not solving any problem at this point.

Who said it's a shitcoin puff piece? Quite clearing in TFA and even TFS they point out the futility of this approach. Did you read anything beyond the headline?

Extraordinary outlandish claims require extraordinary evidence.

There's nothing knee-jerk about this. The mechanism of developing of resistance due to over prescription of antibiotics has been studied, causally identified, and the effect of limiting antibiotics is a clear and obvious solution to this mechanism.

If another mechanism exists (LOL caffeine, really?) that isn't remotely a reason not to limit this mechanism as well. You don't go up to someone say, "oh you have a broken thumb, so you won't have a problem with me breaking every other finger on your hand right?"

Handsoaps do not contain antibiotics. "Antibiotic" and "Antibacterial" are not the same. Antibacterial soaps are classed as antiseptics which is something very VERY different, and not something that bacteria can build up resistance to (and in some cases of questionable efficacy). Antibiotics work on a biological level (interacting with enzymes, proteins, to either kill or prevent the spread of bacteria), where as antibacterial (antiseptics) actively destroy cell walls in some cases quite indiscriminately. This is why something like Chlorhexidine (which you find in most antibacterial handsoaps, is only ever recommended, beyond soap, for a mouthwash, not to be swallowed in any meaningful concentration, and not to come in contact with eyes.

You're talking like the UK is an Island. It's not. The problem isn't the way livestock are fed in the UK, it's the way they are fed *in the world*.

We should not be taking the pressure of GPs, we should be ensuring we have enough qualified GPs to correctly diagnose cases and manage their workload. There's a good reason it is illegal for pharmacists to perform diagnosis in many countries. They are limited to providing non-prescription medication to address common complaints, or for filling prescriptions. Giving them the power to administer antibiotics for *ANY* illness is dangerous, they are not trained to diagnose patients. The symptoms for Strep throat look very similar to a common cold. The only thing a pharmacist should be telling you is to "take lemsip, and go see a doctor".

Citation needed. My first search showed that in C++ some 70% of bugs are related to memory safety, which is also why it's so significant that Rust reduced (but not eliminated) it.

It doesn't write bug free code, but it makes a whole lot of bugs a bit more difficult. A careless dev is not expected to be perfect with Rust, just to be unable to cause as much damage.

Shhhh managers and tech bros as talking. Don't disturb them with your "physics".

Countless popular titles have had that criticism. But I caution you against just looking at videos and comments. We're in the world of bandwagons. When it's cool enough to hate something to make a reaction video about it, then everyone makes the same reaction video. Welcome to algorithmic content creation.

It probably makes more sense given their scale for them to have their own power generation -- solar, wind, and battery storage, maybe gas turbines for extended periods of low renewable availability.

In fact, you could take it further. You could designate town-sized areas for multiple companies' data centers, served by an electricity source (possibly nuclear) and water reclamation and recycling centers providing zero carbon emissions and minimal environmental impact. It would be served by a compact, robust, and completely sepate electrical grid of its own, reducing costs for the data centers and isolating residential customers from the impact of their elecrical use. It would also economically concentrate data centers for businesses providing services they need,reducing costs and increasing profits all around.

Yeah but it didn't whip a lamas arse so no one remembers it.

The reason it was cancelled is irrelevant. The point is a sanctioned project under construction was halted by a different government. That is a demonstration of investment instability and risk.

The USA is now considered a far higher risk for investment than it has ever been in the past, it doesn't matter who is in charge of it now or in in 2029. It'll take a demonstration of stability to reduce that risk, and that will take multiple election cycles to happen. Trump has done some serious lasting damage.

No sarcasm isn't lost. Communication skills are. There's no reason for anyone to think your post was sarcastic. Not in 2025 where there's so much stupid shit posted on the internet. Sarcasm isn't dead, it's just statistically not likely to be so when it isn't obviously marked as such.

By the way I'm Gen X. So you can't even communicate with your own generation properly, let alone "kids these days" (yeah I shake my stick too just thinking that phrase).

Also a Gen X person popularised the emoji (which was invented by a boomer). Presumably he got sick of people not being able to understand his sarcastic posts on the internet, maybe look that up ;-)
