ybrah··on Bitcoin Mining Now Consuming More Electricity Than Many Countries
Some guy on /biz/ has a bunker full of server racks that mined XMR. He got the bunker from a military auction. He said that he did not require heating for the bunker because the heat produced by the mining was enough to keep the entire buker warm. All he had to do is have good ventilation.

ybrah··on Analyzing Cryptocurrencies Using PostgreSQL
What's wrong with linking to 4chan? It's just a message board.

But yeah, these kids are largely responsible for the common layman's goldrush to crypto.

ybrah··on Analyzing Cryptocurrencies Using PostgreSQL
More people coming in, less people getting out.

Fear of missing out, and people refusing to sell at a loss.

I dont see any use case beyond being a speculative asset and a money laundering technique, but that is subject to change. Even just being a money laundering technique is a good enough use case to give it value; look up XMR/monero

ybrah··on Facebook staff reject female engineers’ code more often, former employee claims
Women are more likely to get hired to solve the unequal distribution of female/male engineers. This makes it more likely to have less qualified female engineers, and more qualified male engineers, since hiring requirements for men are more strict. A higher average of under qualified females compared to under qualified male engineers will lead to more code getting reject from the female counterpart.
ybrah··on Instagram Stories hits 200M users, surpassing Snapchat
I like stories on instagram because its not intrusive, unlike messenger, facebook, and whatsapp. The reason I still use snapchat and pretty much boycott stories that get handed out by facebook is because it feels like they're using dark UI practices to force it down my throat.

Why does messenger open up my camera when I launch it? Why does it ask me to put pictures that I send my friends on my public story? Why do peoples stories take half of my messenger screen? It's really intrusive, and incredibly annoying.
