when english classes give you a poem and tell you to read it. then later test you on a detail in the poem. thats not education. thats just testing you done the homework

however if english class gave you a poem and said can you translate the metaphor and find a situation in your life that matches. then that is educating. as it gets students to think, problem solve, interpret and then find a use.

as for creativity. in art if a teacher puts a flower plant on a table along side some colouring pencils. and ask them to draw it. thats not creativity.
as its all the same. same image, same material

but if a art teacher asks you to think of something that interests you and draw it in a way that can display your emotion towards it. then the student can be more creative.
EG suicidal kids would draw a knife, and use dark tones. (blacks and grey charcoals)
EG a superhero nerd will draw ironman. and use lots of colour paints and draw iron man doing some action scene
thus individualised,, custom, thoughtful, emotion provoking. chance to learn to use different materials. thus creative

many highschools just go through the motion of heres something. do it and ill check you done it.
not really using the oppertunity to actually be inventive, creative, energised about the subject

USA/UK knew of the risk in first week of january once the isolation and identification was truly confirmed.
anything before january was speculation and too early to cause panic. due to low patient numbers and due to the small amount of cases being linked to one location (speculation that it could have been food poisoning or touch contact spread)
yes some chinese doctors were repremanded for trying to incite panic before anything was confirmed by science. confirmed respiratory virus. and then confirmed spread via non-touch-contact method.
but once the official and science confirmed details were public. USA/UK could and should have acted.

chin closed its own flights and went on a high grade track, trace and isolate process..
but USA/UK did not. instead USA/UK actually purposefully done repatriation flights.

yep UK/USA went against responsible guidelines

yes in hindsight some doctors unconfirmed hunches did actually come to realisation. but it could have also been equal chance of being wrong. so raising an alarm without confirmation can cause panic.. yes in hindsight people can view the 'whistle blow' of a hunch as a good alert to have raised, now we know for sure that it was a virus. but at the time it was an unconfirmed hunch/possibility.

USA/UK done bad stuff before too.. like the ebola outbreak years ago in africa. USA/UK actually brought infected people into US/UK. rather then just provide funding to treat them within the outbreak country.

you cant blame china for US/UK action/inaction

So you're telling me that with x4 times the reward miners are consuming less electricity, raking in 10 times the profit, and not plugging in new gear because you've told them to?

YOUR the one telling me that miners are not plugging in new hardware
YOU said miners are still using 2019 outdated inefficient s9..
Again you're talking bs, do you believe that the hash rate is generated only by new gear?
There isn't a single S9 in this world who isn't mining at this time, they are still profitable at 10 cents per kwh.
i corrected you that they are using new s19 and gaining 2.4x efficiency

anyways.. avoiding your own distracting waffles.
stompix. your about 10% right in small parts you mention.. so lets concentrate on that

just like gold. if it remained as cheap to mine gold using just a kitchen spoon and a coffee grain filter ($2) then the price of gold would be $2-$4/ounce.. not >$1500

its actually the increase of cost of mining that sets the minimum price people are willing to sell for. thus setting the base value.

so while mining bitcoin, its base value is only ~$21k/coin right now. the speculative price is >$47k. this speculative bubble spread of $26k does not mean the hashrate will double.. emphasis: it wont..
repeat: the speculative spread will not cause the mining to grow by 200% in the short term the price went up. i promise you that.

it means that mining can grow by 200% this fortnight/month, BUT it will only increase by 2-5% not 200%
no miner is going to shoot themselves in the foot by pushing difficulty up by 200% in the short term
the mining wont jump that much.

the actual result is the speculative bubble of $26k above the $21k mining cost. means the speculative bubble can correct down. yep there is more chance the speculative price will drop by more than 5% than chances hashrate will rise by more than 5%

again this $26k speculation will NOT cause a 200% jump in hashrate purely because there is 200% spread to allow such hashrate growth

..
maybe try to understand more about the mindset of mining. they wont want to push difficulty up as it just shoots them in the foot.

remember 2020 had a halving. and although the speculative price went from $10k to over $40k the hashrate did not go 400%.. it only went up 60% in a year(100exa to 160exa) which is ~ 2-3% a fortnight

yep miners only want to grow at under 5% a fortnight per difficulty adjustment.
they do not react the moment a price tracks at 200% more profit. they play the steady rise game of small difficulty adjustments

badecker seems to have things warped

in 2016. obama accepted trumps win..
it was trump in 2020 that did not accept bidens win

meaning republicans didnt accept democrates
..

also badecker says trump done many good things.. but i bet he cant think of any that personally benefit badecker.. but some allow badeckers cultish leaders to get richer.. even while leaving badecker poor.

badecker when will you figure out your repeating of your influencers wishes actually negatively affect your life while making them profit

only he did not have the propaganda machine behind him to cause the same level of amplification.

sorry but i really have to address this point
you think trump didnt have an amplifier

.. um..
democrats mention trump a ilegitimate president. ..  no riot. no insurrection
republicans call biden an ilegitimate president... riots.. insurrection

seems trump had the propaganda amplifier on full. and caused many weak minds to bleed and go crazy

What you are pointing out has nothing to do with bitcoin because bitcoin or more precisely bitcoin miners are simply consumers of the electricity not the producers of it. How electricity is produced (renewable energies, less polluting methods, ...) is up to the electric companies.

most serious miners have shifted to renewable regions years ago.
its where they get the best deals from.
(mining farms have great contracts with electric suppliers that make excess renewable energy that mining farms can nibble at)
9147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Energy Consumption Future Plans/Thoughts on: February 11, 2021, 06:14:38 AM
just like you wanna pretend we are not using the most efficient miners. i can flip that... your pretend using of 300mh/300w efficient gpu. is actually just regular non-overclocked desktop PC of 250mh/450w standard PSU
and give you a 5x downrating on your GPU for your 2011 maths (ill get to that)


(but first) why would you think that although still profitable.
someone is still using 3.9kw for 39thash(3x s9) in 2019-2021
when they can get 95thash for 3.2kw
2.4x more profit

so lets play your game of downrated equipment

250mh/450w desktop standard psu non overclock
=10thash of 40,000 gpu = 18gw
fast forward to 2019
s9 13thash/1.3kw standard asic no upgraded hardware
=52,000,000thash of 4mill asics=5.2tw
..
so premiss still applies.. why? you might ask?
because if we used GPU to attain a 52mill thash would need 93600000gw(93600tw) in 2019
but that would be still be 18,000x less efficiency to retain GPU rather than use s9
....
but like i said we now have s19 which is a further 2.4x efficient than s9
so if you really want to get anal.. its 43,200x more efficient

so ill concede i got my 70,000x efficiency math wrong
but you thinking its a '500x efficiency in the other way'
means you need to concede a hell of alot more
..
point being
hashrates rise. yep thats mining logic.. it gets harder..
yes the hashrate rose from 10thash to 52,000,000thash in 8 years(5.2mill x) 2011-2019
but the electric use didnt rise by 5.2m x
it only rose by 288x

so arnt you glad that technology allowed for a 5.2m x growth with only a 288x expenditure
..
but now lets move forward 2 more years
a ~3.07x growth(52exa>160exa)
but a 0.6x electric expenditure(5.2tw>6.5tw)

arnt you glad we curbed the spike.
because if we were using just s9 in 2021 the electric would be 15.6tw for 160exa
because if we were using just GPU in 2021 the electric would be 288,000tw for 160exa
9148  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The globalist controllers have already LOST the end game on: February 10, 2021, 11:49:22 PM
YOU think the globalists have lost..
.. but here is the reality

there was no globalist agenda. no genocide.

YOU and your cultish influencers pretend there was an agenda. you made up stories. and then when it doesnt happen(because it was never going to happen) you cultish freaks can pretend you won and the opposition to you lost.

its like you turn up to an empty olympic stadium. you pretend there is an agenda for people to beat you in the 100m race. you make up stories that people are out to get you. you make up some story that your farts are soo powerful it can make opposition not turn up.

so you stand in the empty olympic stadium on a day that has no planned events.. and you declare yourself the winner of the 100m race and then go around proclaiming its all due to your powerful farts that defeated your opposition

reality is. your making up stories.

Don't expect companies to pay you what you're worth, they will pay you the least you're willing to accept.

some employees have actually used this as there premiss for getting less than others. as noted in my first post about 'men are better negotiators' excuse
9150  Other / Politics & Society / Re: lets talk equal pay on: February 10, 2021, 11:42:14 PM
Sounds horrible. Many moons ago I had a job where I couldn't get a pay raise because due to some idiotic internal rules they would need to promote me to a "manager" position in order to pay more and there were no open "manager" positions.

i know that feeling. hense i didnt mention a 4 point promotion but a 20 point promotion
so that it adds the wiggle room where normal 4 level promotion involves title upgrade which can only happen if position/title is open
..
as for the 'just pay for performance' this is hard in of itself to measure
someone on a salary that works efficiently but gets the job done in 40 hours. vs a inefficient worker that takes more time to finish the work. working longer hours to get the job done.

in many cases even if the same job tasks are complete.. the inefficient worker will complain that they put more effort in by working more hours and demand more pay for their time,, quoting the other worker leaves early and clocks off at 5pm while others are still working till 6pm

other examples are the efficient person gets mondays workload done by 4pm. and starts on tuesdays workload and leaves at 6pm along with the rest. then tuesday morning continues. and gets tuesdays workload done by 2pm. and then just sits bad and takes a nap. obviously hours ahead, but seen as lazy, bad time management. even when reality is they are ahead of the inefficient workers

thus when it comes to pay review.. the inefficient staff snitches on their co worker and so the efficient worker is seen as the bad employee that spends afternoons taking naps

..
solution to this is a basic pay (20 level structure) and ontop a performance pay where  workload is monitised
as a bonus

9152  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Energy Consumption Future Plans/Thoughts on: February 10, 2021, 10:24:52 PM
in 2012 people were mining with GPU. and the hash/kw was bad

the technology has evolved. we are no longer at
400mh/kw
we are instead at
30,000,000mh/kw(30thash/kw(95thash/3.25kw(S19))

thats a 70,000x efficiency curve from 2012 GPU mining

what you will find is that 1 years ago when the hashrate was 100exa it was based on
10,000,000mh/kw  (13thash/kw(13thash/1.3kw(s9))
now its 160exa(60% hashrate rise) but 300% more efficient asics
meaning the equivelent electric use
of 160exa is as if its only the electric of the network when it was 56exahash

yep we are at less electric use than 2020. and instead using the electric of june 2019
which only yielded 56 exahash

2019:   56exahash=5.6tw
2020: 100exahash=10tw
2021:  160exahash=5.4tw

no congressman is involved with the impeachment today
maybe you will learn its at a higher board level known as the senate now

oh. and they are not judging on prisonable penalties. they are only judging on if he should continue to receive the privileges he gets from the civil office of 'former president'

with trumps actions in regards to insighting violence and insurrection.. EG 'liberate your state' 'fight' 'be strong' 'dont let them when at any cost'

i do feel that he was using his fangirls.
and then when it didnt go his way. he disassociated from his fangirls

so if your still a fan. just realise that he wont be your friend in the end.
and if you do manage to cause chaos in his name. he will just send the national guard to arrest you
9154  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump Impeachment Public Hearings [serious discussion] on: February 10, 2021, 08:55:47 PM
if you asked me last year . i would have agreed the puppet loyalty would have strong ties.
but now trump has been demoted from president to civil officer.. some ties are cut. less republicans fear trump. less republicans feel the need for the ties.


this trial (that already voted to continue) is not a criminal trial to judge on prison time.
its a government business meeting to decide if trump should retain any business interest in the business of american politics
so politicians are the judge of this business decision. and so those that are begrudgingly tied to trump out of fear, know this is the best time to cut ties and be rid of trump puppeteering is now.

once decided on if/when to remove him from his current civil office role and remove all privileges associated. he is then just a normal citizen and it is then for the courts to decide if he should be arrested for a crime

so right now and for the rest of the week the only thing being decided is a business policy of if trump should continue to receive business privilege

..
its like education. a school board deciding if they should sack a teacher
its like healthcare. a hospital board deciding if they should strike a doctor off the medical licence register

after that. then the cops can swoop in and arrest the guy if the cops decide its a crime for the acts they did while in office

the senators are not acting like cops. they are acting like business board members deciding on the status of a demoted employee if that demoted employee should be fully removed from the business.


.
and just for interest sake
last week this was the layout of opinion on if impeachment should continue

democrats      unsure         republicans
saying yes      D      R        saying no

actual result        <| all these left of the line
as you can see.. only
35 republicans are vocally siding with trump. so it only takes 2 to swing into undecided.
and then
17 undecided join the democrats at the verdict vote

so there is a actual possibility that trump can lose all privileges. especially if it only needs 2 strong puppets to cut their ties
9155  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump Impeachment Public Hearings [serious discussion] on: February 10, 2021, 07:33:29 PM
the current state of impeachment yesterday was about if the impeachment should go on. yesterdays vote was purely about that.

as i said.. the bit about the final 'verdict'.. is a waiting game.
i do know the difference but i was mentioning current event. not future speculation.

we had not even heard the main arguments about things that will affect the verdict result. so far yesterday the discussion was just the legitimacy and lawfulness of if the impeachment process should even proceed.

to discuss the details of the verdict possible result.. is a waiting game

translating..
impeachment is a charge.. not a verdict.
so yes they voted and trump is being impeached(charged) - current event

future speculation is the verdict and if/when hi is removed from 'office of former president', and or losing all privelige, and or losing future access to government office

if you want to skip ahead and speculate the verdict
so far the 2/3 which is out of 100 they got 56:44. so its not much more to get the verdict. they just need to convince 11 more(67:33)

many republicans that have been puppets by fear. can eleviate their fears of trump by making him lose office then he no longer has power over them. many republicans followed trump under fear.
they can easily free themselves.
republicans know trump has hurt the RNC. he has stolen $150m from the RNC. he has done nothing for the RNC. so they carry no political favour that trump will make their lives better if he remained in civil office/privilege
9156  Other / Politics & Society / lets talk equal pay on: February 10, 2021, 07:19:52 PM
i have seen how some of the debates has been sparked before.
how 2 employees doing the same role. but one is paid more and the only difference noted is their gender.
this has sparked of conversations about the 'salary negociations at interviews get better results with male due to their better skill at negociating"

other debates are about how women dont push their managers for promotions/payrises as much as males.

other debates are about how some males are default put into higher level roles leaving woman at the bottom of the ladder. EG women are hired as secretaries where as men are recruited as administrators. thus default putting men ahead of the promotion game right from the start.

and other debates are about how woman in lower level roles demand high level pay even though they dont even have the skills to even attempted to do the higher level roles, yet they still want the equal pay as if they do the job.

i believe businesses should adopt a 20level scheme. gender neutral
which is based on 5 groups of 4 levels each
worker grader 1,2,3,4
superviser grade 1,2,3,4
manager grade 1,2,3,4
regional manager grade 1,2,3,4
corporate grade 1,2,3,4

where it then defines clear structure, clear promotion ladder grading

and the separetly where any 'benefits' are put into a 'pension pot' where after say 1 year of employment they can if they choose withdraw 6month per 2 year for any paternal/maternal break.

that way woman dont gain anything men cant have access too. where its not extra benefit. but instead same benefit but by taking it your just deducting away what you can get at pension age.

as for the grading
base it on skill/experience.
someone with no qualifications/experience. level one
if a job requires some experience,knowledge/qualification. then the pay should reflect the need. meaning no one doing a role that requires college grade/experience should be level one and instead graded on the level of experience qualification or job requirement of 234

this way it stops any debate about a fresh faced young inexperienced employee thinking they are entitled to the same pay as a a career worker that has already had the skills/experience for atleast a year

..
what do you people think are other best practices to ensure equal pay based on skill/level. where both men and women get equal benefits

None of this really matters though — we know that the votes aren’t there in the Senate already. 10 Republicans WILL NOT be joining Democrats in finding Trump guilty for impeachment.

the votes are in. they voted yes. the impeachment is going to proceed.
Quote
[yes:56 - 44:no] - yes win (6 republicans were on the yes side)
trump does currently hold office:
"office of former president"
this makes him a civil officer and one of the categories of people that can be impeached.
Quote
The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States.
so yep he is going to be impeached.

due to having office and privileges he cant be easily charged as a citizen for criminal charges. hence the need for the impeachment process
once he has his office and privileges stripped. he can then have the police or district attorney knocking on his door with charges under criminal law.

now its a waiting game

yep clearview was invented by a republican

the founders met at a republican club house. the discussions the clubhouse have are about devising new policies to control citizens for the economic gain of the elites.

i wonder if badecker would dare research what republicans really are like. and have the lightbulb moment that he is fangirling the wrong group..
or
just fangirl defend them and flip flop his own morals and stop caring about heath and freedoms.. (like he has done)
..
as for the difference between illegal and unlawful
it is not unlawful to enter another country. no one is physically harmed.
it is illegal to enter another country without the right passes/permissions/invitations.(passport/visa)
so republican narrative of 'build a wall' is not about law its about legal.. yet badecker wanted that wall too

the trick is not to claim every malady is caused by covid.

infact in america with an average death rate of 2mill. covid was only 300k

also yes wearing a mask 24/7 is silly. but NO ONE has been advising a mask 24/7
your suppose to wear a mask when out in a public indoor space where its harder to achieve social distancing.

EG. supermarkets. retail stores. work places
heck even emplyers are suppose to offer their employees regular breaks so they can take a break
....

anyway it seems lately the next conspiracy is that vaccines are causing more deaths.
sorry but no

in they UK they are actually monitoring people having vaccines and then flagging up anyone that has sought medical advice from their local GP, sought medical intervention. or just repored adverse effects

and the results of dec-january are in
1 out of 10 report tenderness in arm, flu like symptoms(fever, fatigue)

3 out of 1000 report mild adverse reaction requiring no treatment (cry baby complaints of arm pain, nausia, dizziness, change in heart rate)

2 in 100,000 report sever symptoms of adverse reaction requiring medical support/intervention

.. with covid having a 30-80% mild symptomatic rate(dependant on viral load)
even if you take the low rate of
30% covid lasting upto 14 days
vs
0.3% vaccine lasting 2 days

its quite clear which method of infection to attain immunisation is best
(hint: you cant damage your lungs if the pathogen doesnt enter your lungs and instead a pathogen is in the arm)
