Thanks for the link to the heist article. Really interesting. A high-trust society is easy prey for scumbags, as we're finding out at almost every level.

TSMC is getting a $6.6 BILLION grant, $5 BILLION in loans and a 25% tax credit, courtesy of US taxpayers. That is not good news.

“One man told Trump his electricity bill jumped from $2,000 to $15,000.”

That’s not mining BTC, that’s any electricity intensive business.

For example broadcast media.

5000 watt transmitters just cost more, see?

Chess resurgence is due to: 1) technology makes it much easier to find a game against matched-ELO opponents, 2) there are (weirdly?) a lot of fairly popular chess streamers out there. For instance, you can watch Hikaru Nakamura, one of the handful of best players in the world, mop the floor with randos probably 2-3 times a week if you feel like it.
