Nobody talks about dumping these things in the field. Glass, silicon, and aluminum can be reused or disposed safely. As I said in previous post - in EU electronic waste is disposed properly without dumping whole things into a landfill. Solar panels aren’t even the hardest e-waste to deal with.
Some solar panels are considered hazardous waste, and some are not
That’s horribly unspecific
Lead and cadmium
AFAIK in EU Leaded solder is forbidden since many years (outside of safety related equipment). Cadmium is regulated in similar fashion. Electronic equipment disposal and recycling is also strictly controlled.
The whole thing looks like fear mongering.
And how will they support themselves? Another crypto scheme to battle out with SEC?
Fuck Maduro, he managed to starve and impoverish his people despite having massive oil resources. What a sore loser.
hazardous waste
What’s hazardous in the solar panels?
Why not 700 years? It will save Disney 10 lobbying campaigns
Kosa means scythe in Polish. What a name…
Odd indeed. These distros have outdated libraries, and things just dont work out of the box - it can be an absolute nightmare for a new user. Also Canonical once screwed up components of the Ubuntu by sheer incompetence, and didn’t bother to fix them until next release 6 months later. Suggesting it to noobs is straight way to convert them back to windows
I used Ubuntu initially - These distros aren’t fine. Time wasted on fixing problems I shouldn’t need to fix is wasted forever. It was a never ending stream of issues that wasted countless hours of my life
This constant shuttling of information back and forth is responsible for consuming as much as 200 times the energy used in the computation, according to this research.
Press x to doubt. I know moving data costs more energy than computation itself, but that sounds like a pure BS.
Run Linux. Use KDE desktop for windows 7 like experience - I stopped using windows 7 years ago - as long as you don’t trap yourself in garbage popular distro like Ubuntu or Debian - you’ll be fine. Install Fedora with KDE, or Manjaro. After some learning curve (no disk mounting by default, wtf?) it does it’s job pretty damn good, (unless you don’t play games with anticheat ect.)
Papers please: for millions of Americans, accessing online pornography now requires a government ID
And I imagine everyone wants a picture of your ID. Which is horrible on so many levels…
Bitcoin is 15 years old alredy. Ethereum is 8.
All code is open source, rules are clear, I don’t know how can you repeat the scam accusations after all that time
True, but there’s no tie between your identity and your address. That should be good enough for most cases
Lightning scales very well.
Except when you need to get new liquidity.
I tried opening incoming liquidity channel with phoenix wallet and it asked me to pay equivalent of 80USD for 1000USD of incoming liquidity.
This is unreliable because during congestion users can’t open new channels. Theres simply not enough base layer capacity to address high traffic scenario.
Google wants to know, Facebook wants to know, your government wants to know, your bank wants to know. And they harvest enough data about you to actually know.
You can’t solve double spend problem off-line, it’s just not possible - at best you can use secure element chips to prevent copying and tampering, but this isn’t a reliable solution.
In practice, at least merchant has to be on-line - otherwise your payment is only as good as your word
At this point everyone should start considering cryptocurrencies as a replacement
If attacker has a ring 0 access he can already screw you up any way he wants
