>DR downtime was about an hour, but the bank fired him anyway

The US, not even once.

The guy should have had "reload in 10", an outage window and config review. There must be more to this story than it being a firable offence for causing a P2 outage for an hour.

If you think you need a vaccine for a disease with a median age of death that's 84 you've badly failed at basic risk analysis and you've been massaged by the machine.

The Honda-E is too small, has too short range and over priced. Maybe that's the reason.

If you're only amused by this you're failing to see that when Tesla are less supply constrained (with the opening of two further factories this year) that they will go on to sell significantly more.

Let me guess, you already have internet so it's no skin off your back to try to pull up the ladder on others.

This blog post reads like and advertisment because it claims there's no mosquitoes when of course there is and also no mention of pesticides, when you can be sure there is.

If gold is not the mainstay of inflation hedgers why would it not be; maybe because people don't know with certainty that they aren't buying gilded tungsten or that virtual gold purchases could disappear at any time? Maybe crypto is the gold that gold could never be?

The majority of people in the world can't get a credit card.

>which is what Covid binds to.

You mean the SARS-2 spike protein binds to the ACE receptors. mRNA vaccines create the spike protein so it's going to work in exactly the same way as natural infection. Recent research from Japan is showing that the spike protein from vaccination is not staying at the injection site it can get into the blood stream (and causes blood clots as are widely reported), crossing the blood brain barrier and affecting the heart. As a healthy 30 year old I would prefer to take my risk with covid than take these vaccines. I've done enough research to know what I'm talking about and the smartest people I know have reached the same conclusion.

Is there energy regulations on new bank branches that open?

You're assuming fiat onramps are part of the process and dont realise that in the future fiat doesn't exist. How could it?

Yes. It's in price discovery phase. Volatility is expected until it reaches a sufficient market cap to not be affected by single events. It's pretty silly to think what it's like now is what it will be like when the market cap hits that of gold.

>We were able to do that in the 70s with servers that had no more power than today's raspberry pis.

You weren't able to send value from one part of the world to another in minutes without an intermediary for a tiny fraction of the transaction amount in the 70's and you still can't do it today without crypto.

>How would cryptocurrency free us from financial tyranny?

Inflation is theft. Crypto prevents this theft.

It does very well for anyone who uses it as a store of value over a long time span. It's obviously not a currency, there are other coins for that.

People have been using the tulip comparison for over ten years and yet bitcoin is still worth over 30k euro today, a price never reached until last January. When will you eventually get tired of saying the same repetitive trope?

>I just think it has no value.

Don't use it then, but why would you also disparage the millions of people who are happily finding value in it?

>Just because someone does something first, doesn't mean that thing is useful or good.

Well done creating your amazing straw man.

The key to your misunderstand here is that the proof of work hashing is decoupled from transaction volume or market cap.

Wait until you hear all the energy it takes to run the current financial system, or the energy it takes to run the worlds gaming consoles, or any other stuff that you have personally found to be more useful than crypto currency. If bitcoin frees us from financial tyranny it's all worth it.

>over a trust network

There's your problem, you don't understand that bitcoin is trustless and the worlds first implementation of it's kind. If you can't understand why that's important I don't have the time to convince you.

It did in it's price discovery stage before a market was properly established.

>However, because it is also used so heavily for speculation, it is very volatile and therefore not an optimal store of value / means of exchange.

It's better than gold in every way, including energy use.

You'll listen to Bitcoin FUD all day but you don't seem to care about the hydro carbons purged in the process of strip mining the earth for shiny rocks though.

Don't buy bitcoin, it always crashes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbZ8zDpX2Mg

We'll be back here in four years when bitcoin is well above 100k being used happily as a store of value by millions of people and someone like you will say the exact same thing again. How long will it take you to realise that it's already a success?

>Even through the protocol reversing angle.

This is reverse engineering in the same way that I redraw a map of my drainage pipes when there's a leak in my house. My plumber is not going to sue me and neither will Bose.

Why?

Big pharma has deep pockets and believe me, this is part of their plan. Vaccine passports are the big pharma wet dream come to life. For a disease that 99.85% recover from.

Wait until you hear about Florida and Texas.

Tesla has first mover advantage in that they secured lithium salt flats in Peru back in like 2015. Last year they announced an aggressive pathway to halving the cost of kwh storage due in part because their business depends so much on it.

The recent master stroke of big pharma is making you think that being anti this vaccine, makes you guilty by association with all anti-vaxers.

I've done my research and understand risk profile, I don't need a beta version of vaccine for a disease that I have essentially zero chance of having any trouble recovering from.

If you think you need it and are below 40, you don't understand the risks.

EDIT: For the record, if I have kids they will be vaccinated. With vaccines that have been proven through multi year trials.
