In the beginning, the computer was invented. It had many uses, and people saw that it was good, and much money was made.

Then, the Internet was invented. It, too, had many uses, and people saw that it was good, and much money was made.

Seeing this, the techbros concluded that people will see any new technology as good, and that much money will be made, and so they invented , and said that it had many uses and was good.

-, once the CEO of and a billionaire wunderkind of the world, will be sentenced to prison time on Thursday in New York City.

Should the judge in his case impose the harshest penalty allowed, the 32-year-old would face more than 100 years and die an incarcerated man, a possibility his lawyer has called “grotesque.”

In advance of the hearing, lawyers for the US Department of Justice and for Bankman-Fried have engaged in bitter back-and-forth over how long of a prison sentence would be appropriate.
His lawyers have argued for a minimal sentence of just six years.
Prosecutors are advocating for 40-50 years for his “unmatched greed and hubris” in perpetrating the🔸 $8bn (£6.3bn) fraud.🔸

The US government has suspended its effort to survey operations over their ballooning energy use following a lawsuit from an industry that has been accused by environmental groups of fueling the climate crisis.

“In the US, where nearly four in 10 of all are now mined, up to 50m tons of carbon dioxide is released each year due to the operations, according to RMI, a clean energy thinktank.” 🤯

Lots of animals destroy their own habitat.

Yeast for example will keep producing alcohol for beer or wine until it's poisoned by it and dies.

Deer, elk, or moose will overgraze lands until the population crashes (unless predators are introduced).

These organisms are unaware of destroying their own habitat.

Human beings are the only ones aware of the oil oligarchs funding attacks on democracy to keep their wealth as the rich fry the planet

I'm not following cryptocurrency technology these days, but I have to confess I like the term "proto-danksharding." Also "blob-carrying transactions" and "gas fluctuations" and "multidimensional fee market."

Here is a breezy, accessible look at for "beginners." https://coinmarketcap.com/academy/article/what-is-eip-4844-a-quick-guide-for-beginners
