That's honestly much smaller than I expected.

Carbon neutral is the indulgence of our age. And about as effective.

I remember people saying the same thing about crypto. Then it started consuming more electricity than Ireland: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/nov/27/bitcoin-m...

Jesus Christ what happened to people I'm tech that posts like this are considered normal?

Kind of amazing tech from 30 years ago is better than what we have today.

If you want to see just how much salt you need read a history book with the same delta t from now to then as from an event.

The amount of presentism in 2023 is ridiculous and completely uncritically accepted by most everyone.

The second woman I dated I married. It's been 20 years so far. This is the opposite or what anyone tells you to do.

Sure you just need to dress up as a cop and shoot them for the control group.

4chan from 2003 is not 4chan on 2023. If anything it's tamer than reddit was after the digg exodus.

Are you nailing it to a church door when you're done?

Wow so we still design CPUs on silk screens by hand?

Chip making is the first industry that was automates by computers. Much like how steam engines were first used in coal mines.

This is like you getting mugged and the police stealing your car afterwards.

We didn't see the productivity advances from the personal computer for 20 years either. It takes a very long time for people to learn how to use new tools.

Just the current power tripping ones who think they own the site.

The only thing more expensive than a nuclear reactor is a battery bank of the same capacity.

The people who can't be heard here still click links. For some reason the terminally online think that banning people makes them disappear in the real world too.

Hn has a taste for shadow banning. You don't get to see what people post because a majority of posts on threads aren't shown to anyone but the author.

This place is the iceberg meme basically.
