Yes. In Copenhagen, for example, this is very common. Even when it's freezing outside. Proof: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FDamnt...

Several commercial flights had to divert because of the debris falling back to earth.
The footage taken from the cockpit is pretty spectacular.

Could we please stop pretending that this is somehow "news"? Could we please stop acting like Bitcoin is somehow not a manipulated, fomo-driven, planet-destroying piece of rubbish that should die in a nuclear fire? Thanks!

The debate between EVs and ICE cars is missing the bigger picture. Personally, I sincerely hope neither of both options "wins", as both are incredibly inefficient and unsustainable modes of transport. Personally, I don't own a car. Instead, I rely on a mix of biking (about 80% of my trips), car rentals/sharing (10%), and public transportation (10%). I am well aware that not everyone can do without a private car at the moment, but I firmly believe this is the direction we should all move towards—not just for the sake of the planet, but also for improving our living spaces and enhancing our mental well-being.

Data scientists use Python for its simplicity, but core libraries like NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn are written in C, C++, and Fortran for efficiency. This creates a black box environment where users rely on high-level APIs without understanding the underlying implementations. While this approach boosts productivity, ultimately, the reliance on abstracted, efficient libraries can result in a gap in fundamental understanding and control. Part of the solution could be to move away from Python to more efficient yet equally expressive languages (Julia, e.g.).

Yeah, and child porn is bad too. Whataboutism.

You still believe in Santa Claus too, don't you? Bitcoin is wasteful by design. It's the only thing we've ever built were wasting energy and other resources like rare earth materials is not an unfortunate byproduct but a deliberate design feature. Yes, it's that fucking stupid. Bitcoin is one of those things that make me believe that we are not going to make it as a species. If humans are really that stupid, we are doomed.

Everything you said is false and you know it. Satoshi designed bitcoin as a peer to peer cash system. It's in the fucking title of the whitepaper. You know, cash, the thing that is used to pay actual stuff in the real world? Probably billions of transactions per day? And let me tell you a secret about lightning: it does not solve any of the problems you claim it solves.

People on exchanges are not buying/selling bitcoin. "Use cases"! Hahahaha!!! Good one.

If the guys involved in fossil fuels, weapons, and human rights violations are in, then adoption surely is imminent!

You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Bitcoin is not "money". When someone gives you some bitcoin, you still have to convert it to real money. How are those "unbanked" people going to do that, you think?

You keep the jokes coming! Hahaha, "new"!!! Hahahahahaha, "technology"!!! Oh, you were being serious?!

They don't see "real value" in the "asset". They see fools buying it for whatever price it goes. They see profit in their pockets.

You should spend some time here: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fioradio.org%2Fi%2Fcrypto-t..., you apparently haven't noticed that the rest of the world sees right through your tired arguments.

Bitcoin spends as much electricity as a medium-sized industrial nation, for a grand total of 7 transactions per second. It's not used in any meaningful way by "millions" of people. It's not being adopted by big businesses at any scale. It's not "banking the unbanked", nor is it a "financial life raft" for anyone except a few lucky ones that got in early.

We limit emissions by banning things that are wasteful. Bitcoin should be banned. Period.

Also, fuck you.

My comment was on the statement that speed is not important "at all" and that the German autobahn proves that. That is complete rubbish.

Driver education is important too. Of course.

But if you've ever been overtaken on the German autobahn by an idiot flying over 300 km/h, you'd agree with me that such speeds are not safe at all, never.

Exactly. I am baffled by arguments that make it sound as if car drivers bear no responsibility for their actions, or even as if they have no agency.

Even the word "accident" when describing a car crash implies that the event was unavoidable and that no-one is to blame.

That is complete rubbish.

There was a recent debate about this in Germany, when a government commission recommended a 130 km/h speed limit to cut transport sector emissions. Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer dismissed the idea as unrealistic and contrary to common sense, claiming German motorways are the safest worldwide.

Germany ranks tenth in Europe for motorway safety, with a death risk about twice that of Britain or Denmark. Studies by the German Road Safety Council (DVR) indicate 25% more deaths on autobahn sections without speed limits compared to those with limits. The German magazine Der Spiegel has calculated that a general speed limit could save up to 130 lives per year.

I don't think you have the slightest understanding of what the word "backed" means in this context.
