This is a hard business decision to make as it doesn't directly increase revenues and directly reduces productivity.
Might be smart in many instances to do cross training, and on the job perspective expanding, but at the end of the day: it's usually better to let the animous live...and the spice flow.
How well do investors understand the underlying network of computers required to maintain the public ledger and the trust and integrity of the digital currency, though?
Until nation-states fund and invest in the infrastructure, finding your confidence in cryptocurrency with little to no regulation is a massive risk.

There are many arguments against bitcoin, but I have a hard time investing in this one.
A lot of the people investing in bitcoin are doing so specifically to hedge against nation-states. It is decentralized FOSS based on sound mathematics. If this was really a concern, wouldn't people be skeptical of TLS to access your bank? One of the most popular TLS algorithms was written largely by DJB (not a nation-state).
Wild that as they grow and scale, sustainable or climate-sensitive power can't be sourced or relatively (directly) scaled.
It will be interesting to see over the next few decades if sustainable power sources (arguably Nuclear, especially under the recent Advance Act) won't just be a lagging situation.
75% of the emissions in the report are from "scope 3" which is mostly embodied emissions of equipment. So the necessary sustainable power sources would be in China mainly, not ones serving Google's datacenters.
Maybe because they are trying to influence policy goals? Google is a large customer but it is still a teensy tiny fraction of American electricity consumption. I don't understand why the press has decided that it falls on the information industry alone to decarbonize the US (and global) power grid.
Filtering (out) the meta categories would be nice (so you can look at just the meta categories or just the countries).
Something that I don't think is available at the source that would be a nice addition would be a per capita (looking at the population and using it as a basic sortable column for quick reference).
Great example of ground effect, between that and the amount of relative wind against its 'wings' providing a great angle of attack...the really impressive component to the entire situation is: how much thrust did that little guy start off with that it was able to maintain lift for so long?
They really do appear to be all in on avoiding memory leaks from C/CPP:
> Over the next few years we plan to continue replacing C or C++ software with memory safe alternatives in the Let’s Encrypt infrastructure: OpenSSL and its derivatives with Rustls, our DNS software with Hickory, Nginx with River, and sudo with sudo-rs. Memory safety is just part of the overall security equation, but it’s an important part and we’re glad to be able to make these improvements.
It seems like a really challenging endeavor, but I appreciate their desire to maintain uptime and a public service like they do.
