A beautiful Ethereum mining rig by u/OgyDimitrov on the r/EtherMining subreddit Most of the comments agree, this technology showcase doubles also as a work of art. Magnificent!

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to develop Thorium based nuclear power in the United States... abundant, emissions free, on demand, scalable power
1/ Bitcoin critics continue to assert that mining is wasteful and disproportionately damaging to the environment. Contrary to consensus thinking, we believe the impact of bitcoin mining is a net positive for the environment. Here's why:

In Iron Man 1, Tony Stark is given materials to build a weapon for the local warlord... instead he takes those materials and fashions his prototype Mark 1 Iron Man suit out of it to make his escape from capture Perfect example of Pagnol's quote 🤣

Every now & then we find the abstract concepts of computer science in creative works Alan Turing discovered the "Halting Problem" Computers required what he called "oracles" to give them instructions Oracles are featured in Destiny & provide guidance to the Vex machine race

Stumbled across this design of the Nightmare virus in Megaman X6: "The design concept for the Nightmare was, obviously, DNA. I can't imagine what it must have been to do the dot work. I'd like to offer my sincerest apologies to the fellas responsible for the graphics"-- Suetsugu

We've previously mentioned the thermodynamic influence on some of the characters in the #CrashBandicoot video games In the latest entry into the series, the Quantum Mask is inspired by physics & designed with strong directionality to the center to reinforce a black hole motif
In the #CrashBandicoot video games, two characters are inspired by thermodynamic quantities "N. Gin" a rocket scientist cyborg alludes to the "engines" in thermodynamics, devices which convert energy into mechanical work Rockets use chemical energy to do mechanical work

Quite often product designers assume that end users will not be interested in the internals but they're wrong This translucent shell aesthetic from the 90s-early 2000's is missed today & also highlights how the underlying tech/components are themselves appreciated as an art form

Two stages in Sonic 2 are inspired by real world engineering, particularly chemical engineering: Chemical Plant Zone & Oil Ocean Zone CPZ appears to be a water treatment facility (purple potassium permanganate is used in water treatment) & OOZ seems to be a petroleum refinery

Elon Musk recognizes that its the element of creativity that distinguishes engineering from science
Science is discovering the essential truths about what exists in the Universe, engineering is about creating things that never existed https://t.co/aIEUtHoPxM

SciFi is an example of science inspired creativity. One sub genre is the Utopia, which consists of a seemingly perfect society often w/ some sinister element hidden & consists of a high level of technology mixed w/ spirituality Black Panther is the most impactful recent example

In Rachet & Clank: A Crack in Time the Great Clock (pictured) is Clank's spiritual home considered the most complex mechanism in the universe This takes inspiration from the Newtonian worldview which conceived of the world as fundamentally mechanistic in nature, akin to a clock
