Was steam link a failure? Isn't it basically the same thing as in home streaming, which has been great since it launched?

And they are really expensive now :/

How about a bar graph with split Y axis?

How do you beam data at a cosmic event so that it passes the cosmic event right as it happens? Or are we talking a continuous beam here?

Generally, by energy density we mean volumetric energy density. Specific energy is the common term for gravimetric energy density.

It's like selling a spy 275p. Sure, it has almost no value, but it also has basically no risk. You'd be an idiot to buy one, but the 1c you get from selling it is a consistent win.

Prysmian group makes up to 1100kv AC underground apparently. Nexans has delivered 500kv underground systems in the past, don't know how high they go. For these projects the cables are always custom made though, so there isn't really a catalog to pick from.

And thats thin for distribution. That is close to the minimum diameter of the cables we are planning to make for offshore windmills.

Well, no. You can't put 800kv in the outlets. Instead, you'll go 800kv HVDC -> 600kv AC > 70kv AC > DC > 50kv AC 50hz then feed it onto the existing grid for further stepping down. DC to AC and the other way around is expensive, but all your electronics already go both ways because it's the easiest way to transform voltage now.

How is it possible to not give private companies a big stake in energy prices? Federalize all companies that use or produce energy? And even then the government still has a profit motive.

Yep. The reason we have AC instead of DC on the grid is because semiconductors wasn't a thing when the grid started, which meant there was no good replacement for transformers.

150-300$/foot is peanuts compared to these cables. You gotta 10x that at least.

The problem is that the current grid doesn't have the capacity to move renewable energy far enough. This can be compensated for with storage, but that is very expensive.

Long undersea cables isn't a new thing. New windmills are built at sea every day. There are a dozen undersea high power cables in northern Europe. There is a planned cable from Egypt to Greece and one from Algerie to the UK.

Airport security is irrational. They can never decide how many trays they want you to use. Put jacket on top of computer vs seperate tray. Stack computers vs not stack. They keep saying shoes on, but with protective boots that's just stupid but some won't listen. With the newer hands up to the sides machines they always say not to take anything off, but they always trip on the shoulders on my wool shirts and then they spend a while searching.

Screwdrivers they only bother to steal like 10% of the time.

Hydrogen is one of the worst alternatives to heat pumps I could imagine, short of resistant heating powered by hydrogen driven turbines. Electrolysis is about 75% efficient. That means you need a lot of extra electricity. In addition you need facilities for electrolysis, which isn't cheap.

It might help a bit as a form of storage but is still worse than hydrogen + tubine + heatpump.

Cost to the individual shouldn't matter, the lowest overall cost should be picked. In a hydrogen conversion scenario the lowest cost often ends up being natural gas, which gets us nowhere.

I see you are confused about how the bidding process in a single payer healthcare system works. Yes, the government pays. That is the single payer part. That doesn't mean the government provides the healthcare. If i need a medicine then my doctor (who owns his own practice and is paid through copay, fixed government sum and extra pay for certain procedures) prescribes it, then its bought by the pharmacy from a foreign company and billed to the government.

The government negotiates the price for every step of the process. They dictate the copay, the fixed sum per patient to the doctor, prices of all procedures, what medicines and treatments are covered, who gets to cover them, and at what price.

To determine what is covered, who gets to cover what and at what price the healthcare providers negotiates with the government. This ensures there is effective competition in the market and prices are managed effectively.

Single payer doesn't mean there aren't multiple sellers. The sellers compete for business. There aren't any competitive issues unless the government decides to not allow competition anymore in their bidding process. Among the sellers you will find all the large American giants as well as local ones.

There are also profits in a single payer healthcare system, it's what drives providers to offer a better service.

You know, it doesn't help that its russian.

Maybe if you count by number of bytes, but by time on network it will be mostly in the 4g frequencies for a decade yet.

No, it's a specification. It covers many other spectrums as well.

Just want to say that it's not Huawei equipment that has made American high speed less available/reliable - Huawei is used everywhere, because they make some of the best products.

Depends on how remote. Any house in LOS of a tower can have an antenna installed, which is much faster than 4g and much cheaper than digging the fiber. It won't get every house, but it will help a lot of people.

Sales tax is avoidable. You can simply not buy anything and put it all in a bank account, so I agree that its something the consumer pays.

You cannot receive income without paying income tax. For that reason you might as well consider the tax part of the payout. Your income is paid by someone, and they are effectively paying your income tax as well.
