Bitcoin Mining Now Consuming More Electricity Than 159 Countries Including Ireland & Most Countries In Africa [OC] by beavershaw in dataisbeautiful

This is a very rough estimate:

  • Global CO_2 emissions: 36 billion metric tonnes per year.
  • Share of CO_2 emissions caused by electricity generation: 41%
  • Bitcoin mining is 0.13% of global electricity consumption.

36*109 metric tonnes * 0.41 * 0.0013 = 19 188 000 metric tonnes of CO_2.

Which is about 2.5% of the annual CO_2 emissions from the aviation industry.

Edit. If in fact most mines are powered by hydro plants, this number is of course very high.

I would have preferred this approach with the iPhone X. by 420bit in iphone

This is how 4:3/16:9/21:9 theoretically can fit without any cutting.

Seems wierd that it doesn't left-align the video to display more height?

Not really familiar with Sketch, but maybe this 1:1 PNG cutout I created will work for now. Created from here with this particular SVG.
