NextGen Nordics: Green bitcoin mining farm planned in Sweden

That anybody can say nuclear energy is 100% clean energy, that's some breathtaking massaging of the message. When Chernobyl is in the news even. The nuclear industry's marketing slogan should be something like "it's 100% clean, until it isn't, but you know, you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs ...sometimes a lot of eggs"

Citi to sack unvaccinated staff at the end of the month

The vaccinated Citi employees don't necessarily believe vaccination is needed for a safe workplace. The pressure is simply too much for a great many people, and they don't want to fight, they don't want to face the consequences of not getting vaxed. Many vaccinated people acknowledge that vaccination has no impact on transmission. And many don't personally see un-vaccinated poeple as any kind of risk, judging by their willingness to socialise with un-vaxed individuals in contexts where there's no official prohibition from doing so. If pressed to justify the coercion, some vaccinated people offer the explanation that the un-vaxed are more likely to fill hospital beds when they get sick with covid. A belief that's disputed by the medical profession, reputable and sizeable chunks of it.

Bitcoin may 'break down altogether' - BIS chief

Mr Fox agrees the sky is falling, hopes panicky chooks will follow him into his den so he'll soon be supping on yummy chicken, it's an old story. Bitcoin isn't facing a 51% attack, and it reaches it's maximum supply in the year 2140, so that's somebody elses problem as far as I'm concerned, you too unless you expect to live another 120 years. Only worth worrying about if you were literally born yesterday.
