Let’s start the year by reflecting on the colossal waste of resources in Bitcoin mining:
During 2022 Bitcoin consumed 161 TWh of electricity in total, exceeding a country such as Sweden.
Related CO2 emissions were ~90 Mt; again negating the entire global net savings from EVs.

Before you make fun of that kid who still believes in Santa 🎅
Just remember you still think that pre-revenue startup is worth $2 billion 🦄

The sad reality of all the 2.0-era bad takes on how simple it would be to “fix” or “rebuild” Twitter is that they are wholly under-appreciating the challenges and complexity of this system at scale. If it looks like a simple app as a user, that is because the UX does a good job.

A rewrite is like rebuilding a plane mid-flight. The first Twitter rewrite placed Rails with Java+Scala; it took *years* and seriously debilitated product work in the process.
Rewriting Twitter all over again is the dumbest imaginable move, and I can’t wait to watch.

In case you haven't heard, the US military budget that just passed was for $858 billion. So for about 5% of that the army of your biggest enemy, Russia, is being eradicated. A bargain.
Also, for those not paying attention, Russia's stated intention is genocide.

Apparently @Namecheap is now selling bloch*in-based domains, and unless you hover over the illegibly low-contrast "i" icon there's no indication that you're buying something "not compatible with DNS" throughout the rest of the checkout process.
ALT Handshake (HNS) domains are new TLDs based on a distributed and decentralized blockchain-based system. They are not yet compatible with most traditional DNS systems. Learn more.
