If you care about the environment at all. Please have a read of this thread. Bitcoin is terrible, please stop.
Let's discuss the environmental cost of bitcoin. Because despite all the push for sustainable and green investment in the tech sector, there's a giant smoldering Chernobyl sitting at the heart of Silicon Valley which a lot of investors would prefer you remain quiet about. 𧡠(1/)

Commonwealth is a good series yes. In general PFH does a good job of explaining things without deus-ex-machina type situations.

You should get on with that. Some of the Elijah Bailey books are wonderful. I imagine Rammstein in my head while reading them since about 2000 when I spent a lovely summer with those books and rammstein on my mp3 player :D

Mmm, 3 was my least favourite too (though it does tie useful knots in a lot of the story) - I think 2 is my favourite with 1 a very very close second. I like a lot of the world-building in 2 which was less present in 1 in favour of the science :D

I've been speaking with Charlie Brown, Managing Director at @Chartwells_UK over the last few days.
I've been losing my patience a bit. It's not been as quick as I wanted, but we are here now. Some of this was organised today, some is from other days but here's a round up:
