Trump’s Israel adviser suggests diverting $1 billion from Palestinian aid to fund West Bank annexation
  • I wonder - and I mean this seriouslyand not in an /s way - what happens, if you object "bOth SiDeS" with "Why not vote for Harris then?"?
    Surely you won't convince a Trumpologist this way.
    But doesn't that also give leeway to present voting for Harris as equally good choice in the eyes of Trumpologists?

  • Please Stop
  • There's attempts at having payments with 0 fees, that is, if you don't involve exchanges or payment service providers, who obviously charge a fee for fiat conversion.
    Using Nano you have 0 fees for the transaction and ideally as little as 0.25% fee at an exchange for fiat conversion.
    It's not only without fees, it's very fast (ideallly sub-second confirmation) and eco-friendly (requiring no special hardware, because there is no mining and using very little energy overall).
    What's lacking is places where you can actually pay for things with Nano, but that's the classic chicken and egg problem.

  • Please Stop
  • Fixing issues like energy consumption, confirmation time, fees?
    Just in case you haven't heard of Nano, allow me to tell you it's an attempt at creating a peer-to-peer digital currency with minimal energy consumption, 0 fees, 0 minimum account balance, very fast confirmation (ideally sub-second, sometimes a bit slower) and 0 supply inflation.
    It focuses on doing one thing and doing it well: transferring value efficiently, sustsinably and without middlemen.
    It's around since 2015 and still kicking, getting better and better with each release, ironing kinks out.
    It might sound too good to be true, but it's worth a look; make up your own mind.

  • “They brought Israeli civilians to watch our nude torture”: IDF torture of Palestinian prisoners is turned into entertainment for Israeli viewers
  • Someone doesn't like our comments. Have we kicked a hornet's nest? lol. I've only been able to see Buddhism practiced in the west. I couldn't have imagined how horrible it can be practiced elsewhere.
    In all fairness, what they do with animals is opposed to Buddhist doctrine.
    Then again a lot of what (fundamentalist) Christians do is opposed to Christian doctrine.
    The common denominator seems to be: horrible people doing horrible things in the name of $placeholder.

  • Senate passes $95 billion package with aid for Ukraine and Israel, setting up showdown with the House
  • I'm no expert on that matter, but I can imagine problems getting a bill passed with support for Ukraine only and even more so for a bill with support for Ukraine and Palestine.
    Apparently supporting Ukraine has a price beyond money sigh

  • Just 137 crypto miners use 2.3% of total U.S. power — government now requiring commercial miners to report energy consumption
  • Solar panels can have more than 200 watts peak per square meter and provide around 200 kWh per year and square meter, although these values vary a lot depending on where the panels are installed.
    Given these numbers, generating 200 TWh annually (which is more than the current electric energy consumption of Bitcoin mining devices) would require 10^9 square meters; that's slightly more than 31 square kilometers.
    Don't misunderstand this as defending the electric energy consumption of Bitcoin mining! I'd rather see this electric energy being used elsewhere.
    I merely wanted to show how much electric energy can be harvested using solar panels.
