At this point I just feel bad for all the plebs that buy into BIP110. They're like the folks lining up to take the C19 jab to save gramma. Will they be surprised when it fails and they need another soft fork because the first didn't rug the spammers hard enough? SMH. Keep fighting for sanity @Jameson Lopp

He claims it is stateless and anarchic, but in effect it is not. It is minarchism in effect, only not in name. We all know what happens in minarchism. The state is a monopoly on the use of force. Roth...
Are you saying that the free market would become like a minarchist state? But doesn't the State require a monopoly right to violence that no free market actor would obtain?

Its all laid out in Rothbard's "The Ethics of Liberty" and Molyneux's "Practical Anarchy"
Sorry, I'm not seeing it. Rothbard was an An Cap and argued against the State and minarchism. Are you saying he wanted some minimal State? That was not clear when I read that book.
Anarcho-capitalism is agorism with far more state than anyone would have time to manage and at an intensity than anyone could tolerate.
Care to elaborate? What State functions does an-cap require?
You are repeating what I said.
No I'm not. You said "It is physically impossible for efficiently operating solar panels to absorb 95% of the incoming sunlight."
That is incorrect. I'm trying to help you see the logic.
In a control volume analysis at steady state, you sum the energy inputs and output and the totals must match. 100% light in, 5% out as reflection, 15% out as electricity, 80% out as heat. 95% absorption splits into 15% and 80%.
The bare desert sand is probably 30-50% reflection and 50-70% absorption. The 50-70% absorbed light also leaves as heat.
So the article is not wrong on that point. But whether the difference between 80% sunlight being converted to heat and 50-79% is enough to affect the weather seems questionable to me.

"A small percentage"
As I said, it's about 15% to 25%. Making the 95% claim in the article obviously wrong. It's a trivial thing to get right.
Solar will of course turn a higher % into heat than man...
Here's a source: 4% reflected, 96% absorbed. Of the 96, only 20% becomes electricity, the rest is heat.

You're conflating efficiency with absorption.
A PV panel has to absorb 100 w to make 15 w of electricity. That's the efficiency. The other 85 w is released as heat. This is just the first law of thermodynamics.

It's tax season, don't forget how immoral taxation is. You're being fleeced in ways you may not even realize.

The weather mechanism may be dubious, but the energy absorption claim is not.
PV panels will absorb most of the solar energy, literally why they look black. A small percentage of that is converted into electricity and the rest is released as heat either through convection or radiation back to the surroundings. So a local warm zone above the panels is very likely.
Whether it's enough to affect the weather is another matter altogether.

Now the Sneetches had dollars and wanted their yield,
So McSaylor arrived with his great money field.
"For just one hundred dollars I'll make you content!
With an eye-popping yield of eleven percent!"...
What would Dr Seuss say about $STRC? 🤣
For the record, I love Strategy
Someday the Sneeches will figure it out.
Meanwhile @Michael Saylor wins...
GM @ODELL good for a laugh?
