thanks to LiteCoinGuy for posting another nicely animated vid explaining some of the flaws of the current financial system (narrated by Mike Maloney):  The Biggest Scam In The History Of Mankind"You are about to learn one of the biggest secrets in the history of the world...it's a secret that has huge effects for everyone who lives on this planet. Most people can feel deep down that something isn't quite right with the world economy, but few know what it is."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=iFDe5kUUyT0 thanks for posting, again another quality vid explaining the flaws of the current financial system. I'll post it at documentary thread, already have other vids from Mike Maloney listed there. ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=268955.0) |

i read about this one recently on german newssite followed by an interesting interview on german newsmagazine "Der Spiegel". though i have my personal problems with the common style of american documentaries (imo too much use of music & cut-methods to drive emotions and often commenting one-sided towards movies'argumentation instead of letting the audience figure out their own conclusion...by contrast to the socratian method of self-awareness without nearly no manipulation of human senses) this movie could be interesting for US citizens:  "Inequality for All" (USA 2013) ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2215151/) Documentary by former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich as he looks to raise awareness of the country's widening economic gap. Got much positive feedback at Sundance Festival (yea...doesn't say too much, but it's still a bit like Cannes for foreign viewers like me.) I haven't seen this movie, so I can't give any critique how well it is made (not available in cinemas in germany), topic sounds interesting not completely sure about Reich's past reputation as I have heard of him for the first time but it's on my watchlist for the future trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCbAyk8aRxI |

hey that's me in a nutshell! neat! google knows me better than most people i know know me. i wonder if maybe google wants to hang out some time.
google (or microsoft,apple) hangs out with you nearly every second of your digital life. I'm glad I'm that old that I didn't have to spend my whole childhood with that fucker. It's frightening that younger generations will be analyzed and observed from the first day they'll use a computer/smartphone to becoming an adult. That opens another level of perversion for marketing strategies. |

well a nice little ghost doesn't let me see this site and when I unblock i get the message where google tells me how to activate cookies. looks like I'm doing something totally wrong here...  Apparently. Google is telling me all sorts of stuff I didn't know about myself. For example, I now am interested in bicycles and East Asian music.  funniest recommendation i saw before using ghostery was a bunch of caviar adverts after searching for a western digital harddisk named caviar blue. it's always hard not to laugh in presence of employees when i have to configure some computers at work. You wouldn't believe what kinds of stuff usual office workers are googling during their worktime. |

Can anyone tell me more about this immersion cooling? Would they be individual cooling units that anyone could use to cool down any ASIC? Are there any risks of damaging your machine? How much money could these units save someone who is mining?
The precise details are still to come, but the basic idea behind immersion cooling is that air is a terrible heat conductor, which means that you need fans spinning rapidly to pump as much air past the heatsinks/chips in order to keep it cool. Those fans use power (and generate noise, which is less important in a datacenter) of their own and in a datacenter there's enough heat being generated that the ambient air in the room needs to be cooled as well, requiring AC units, which add to the power usage. With immersion cooling, you can immerse all machines in one giant container of oil, which has been selected to have low viscosity (= easy to pump around) and high thermal conductivity (= takes up a lot of heat). Unlike air, you can actually finetune the properties of the oil. The oil is then pumped around and can, in theory, simply be cooled in the outside air, provided you have a big enough heatsink. If set up properly, immersion cooling is more efficient than simple air cooling. The hardware is less accessible, so for a datacenter where hardware is regularly replaced or added, it's not so ideal. But a mining farm is pretty much set-and-forget. So unless you actually had a mining farm it probably wouldn't be worth the effort to buy a cooling unit? The thing that worries me is that the potential market might not be that big if it doesn't include hobbyists who buy one or two machines. What percentage of people involved in mining are running farms? Then how many of those will buy cooling instead of just opening the window in the winter? just my two satoshis here, imo immersion cooling isn't a technology solely for use in mining coins. i like the approach AM is doing there. sooner or later AM has to concentrate much more on several sectors in the whole mining market and try to push technological innovations. (though from my amateurish perspective i can't answer if this cooling concept could even be useful in other markets e.g. renderfarms). it looks very difficult to me to run succesfully a mining farm and develop chips/ asic designs for endconsumers as well as mining companies at the same time as a small company AM has to diversify somehow and get a foot in the door for coming demands of the future mining market. (if that should include hobbyists is another question) If they have innovative ideas on the side during their evolution as a company it's not bad to give it a try and perhaps even specialize. |
