So does an airplane crash would be more horrifying than a car crash, but that doesn’t change the fact that airplanes are safer.

Even so, any improvement is still good though

a better comparison: if you ask siri to time you like this 10 years ago, it would correctly start the timer app

Depends on the open source code license, some do not allow you to use it with modification without disclosing what you modified on the open source code. So you have to contribute any bugs you fixed for your internal use.

would be great if we can bring back those fancy trains with the same kind of dining and sleeper cars.

Then they would just simply stop giving out free steam keys for off platform purchases. Depends on how many people buy from publisher site because they get to keep their games in a single library, it might end up with the game publishers getting less revenue overall.

you might be confusing some units, that is also total energy used by nation divided by population, not a household energy usage. If you are using 12kW constantly, you would be using 8640kwh/month, which is way more than 400x of that 20kwh/month figure.

Even at the $0.15/kwh bill, that would put an average monthly American power bill at ~$1200 which would be absurd.

And we are harnessing its power WITHOUT boiling water

Probably, the $3/kwh is definitely not the price you get for a house.

It still kind of does, the point is to make it stand out from the background

You influence the public opinion on fossil fuels by spreading information about climate change, pollution and negative health effects

if you are playing dirty, telling them digging up those evil black liquid out can anger the gods would work too

Maybe Lays has a point

pretty sure revolution or guillotine comes first

Because we have seen enough people who genuinely thinks like that.

It is ruined, no more fun allowed.

Also such thing would be caught in a standard screening process used all over the world operated by their own airport

Also the other problem is political, without borders we could be transmitting power from places in daytime to places in nighttime. We already have grids that span across different timezones.

Why waste it on the ground when we could start desalinating seawater

The extra power issue is not that hard to solve, when you get close you can start mandating the inverters to have smart connection to the grid, so they stop providing power to the grid if demand is satisfied.

Then separate the infrastructure fee, my family switched to solar and has since paid $0 on usage, but still pays electricity bill in form of the minimum cost to maintain infrastructure.

Also with a big grid, there’s will be enough industry consuming large amount of power during daylight hours for a long time, that’s why with variable power rates power is still more expensive during daylight hours, you don’t have to worry about the generation outstripping load for a long time, and if we hit that it would be a good news as we can all focus on storing power and phase out fossil fuels.

Then what’s stopping you from rallying the contributors to treat the fork as the primary target for development instead?

Do you drive all thousands of miles in 1 single session? You the driver needs resting and that’s like the perfect time to charge them back up.
