2140 according to google. I remember reading a thing a couple of years ago and I might be wrong but I think it's designed that after each x number of coins are mined the rate at which they're created slows down.

Can an existing coin move from whatever the superthirstry method is to the proof of stake thing? If not then bitcoin remaining the big dog is going to be an issue long term?

You know that thing you often see about how every crypto transaction requires enough juice to power a small german village for a week? Is that basically all the electricity required to operate the blockchain divided by the number of transactions? Or is each transaction adding that amount of...

Asos recently announced that they're going to keep track of their customers returns history. I assume it's related to that

I live less than a mile away from a bog; it's a large area, flat, away from people's line of sight. It'd be an ideal spot to cease turf extraction and put up a load of windmills.

I don't know. The former footballer Matthieu Flamini put much of his money into a synthetic oil company about 10 years ago, about 3 or 4 years ago there was a story that they'd cracked something that could do everything that crude oil can do. Reports said it could be a 20 billion a year...

It seems to me that planes burning fossil fuels will be one of the last things to be phased out as (if) we try to move away from the internal combustion engine, I've never heard a word about the idea of an electric plane. Perhaps superfast trains will solve some of the too many planes issue...

I am going to ask what might be a stupid question ... This "you should stop flying" thing. I am a big enough dude, 107 kg but an airbus A320 is about 83,000kg. When someone says "you should stop flying" is it because of the additional fuel required to get my 107kg off the ground, through the...

This was RT'd into my timeline this morning. They're having a good day

Hard Brexit now!

This article, which I just googled and it was the first thing I found, suggested that the average bus does 150 miles in a day (I assume that is referring to commuter/urban buses) and talks about the effective range being 20-30 miles with a need of a 5 minute charge after that so a bus with a 150...

All this big talk is from having spent one day wandering around the euro bus expo in Birmingham last year but IIRC the big push on electric buses were all on urban public transport and the most impressive machines were in the region of 150 miles on a charge I think so while you could conceivably...

The heating only goes on when the office is so cold my hands start to feel it, otherwise I layer up.

I mostly work from home, the nature of my job requires at least a couple of hours driving maybe 3 days a week but I don't have an off-property office. My office however is a building that isn't part of my house which helps to demarcate work from home. Psychologically I think working in what's...
