Wouldn't the "no postage required" business reply label link to the original mailing anyway, i.e. clould that not be linked to your address?

While I don't know the numbers, I'd guess that traditional financial systems all together probably are processing orders if magnitudes more transactions. So while a pure total energy consumption comparison is one thing it would be interesting to conpare energy consumption on a few different factors:

  • total energy consumption
  • energy consumption per transaction
  • energy consumption per user
  • energy consumption per $ amount transacted

Not saying traditional finance would come out on top, I'm legitimately curious

I'm no expert on inspecting bridges, but I'd think that you still would need a professional inspector to do the inspecting, only that they would save the time of actually travelling out to the bridge themselves and instead could do it in their office, no?

And then there are probably things which still need to be done on site, such as non-visual inspections (ultrasound, X-Ray, Vibration testing, Tourque measuring on bolts, paint thickness,...? IDK)

His shooting [...] was one of at least 38 in the last five years in which LAPD officers opened fire on someone who ended up being unarmed

So on average, more than 7 unarmed people get shot by police each year, in Los Angeles alone, never mind the whole country!?

Right, grab a GPS mouse, a 12v charger, a few Red Bulls, load up NetStumbler and let's go :)

Throwback indeed

For some great irony check out this wan show segment where linus talks about how he doesn't like that a prototype (backpack) of theirs ended up in the hands of the public https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwgZaSYuBLc&t=3209 Time 53:29, in case the timestamped link doesn't work
