The first that comes in my mind is: he lived 70 years, born and raised in a rich country, he had a lovely family. He had a good life reason to be happy and he should start thinking about others with less luck like him, E.g. children dying to underfeeding, genetics diseases, war, etc.

look we can discuss a lot about what is expensive. But my comment was about that just a brute force "guessing" loop algorithm in PoW is being sold like a "Computation-intensive Operation" what in my opinion is just a stupid way to waste energy and belongs in the same club of institutions like Bank Industry and Gold Mining that also waste energy. PoS is loot better.

sorry with all respect but Expensiveness is related with how many zeros have the target because you have too loop more.

That is why you waste more energy (more expensive) now than years ago.

Hashing is the easy part and because it is not reversible miners waste energy looping and trying different nonces so you get a hash with the required amount of zeros.

For my is just like a brute force password try-loop with a hashing in between. And that is the whole science XD

Two fallacies:

1- "Mining Involves Computation-intensive Operations" => this is just a cheap brute force loop for guessing the nonce

2- "Bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency" => Whales and Pools can control the price. 65% of Hashrate is concentrated in China.

I would like to add to your comment that the stupid algorithm called "mathematical puzzle" is just a brute force loop in order to find the nonce => nonsense waste of energy

Have a Whale more calories than a person?

How no locks in JavaScript? Have you heard about async await?

We are disusing something so ridiculously as we were trying to explain how a baby alone could possibly win the FIFA World Cup 2018

Seems that you are not a programmer. Even with Intelligence people can write code (much much simpler and buggy) how can chaos build such a complex thing? Can you answer what was first? information (RNA/DNA) or the first cell?

I would change the title of the article: "Human kids drinking Milk of a Cow are 1.5 cm taller than normal ones"

Who knows what kind of hormones the Diary Industry puts on the Cow-Milk you are drinking.

Cow=> Not your mother, not your Milk!

Even by reducing meat consumption you need to know that a poor animal had to die just because of your taste.

Why not? there are so many people out there buying/selling child or necrophilia pornography in the darknet. I hope they get caught by the police.

But, please I'm not saying that @codeninjajosh is on target because of that.

Only by seeing the pictures I feel soo sad. Imagine what happens every day with children over the world because of wars and hunger.

The most common problem working with indian developers in my experience was that they cannot say 'NO'. the culture maybe?

Please with more than 16gb ram!
