There aren't enough Physicians, they don't make much and they all seem to be working 12 hour days but being paid a salary that would equate to an 8 hour day. Doctors see downsides of a universal coverage are mostly about loss of a

The southeastern Wisconsin system takes the address idea further, the address grid is tied back to the Milwaukee grid. A local official gives the example W156 N8480: roughly 156 streets west of the origin and 84 blocks north. He specificall

Attending church can have negative consequences because religion promotes belief in unprovable claims, building life on a false premise: since the central claim isn’t true, the practices and rules around it may seem hollow or misleading. Re

Floating the idea of a youth simulator (like a VR app with integrated exosuit) could be used to measure physiological and cognitive age gaps. It might be valuable for science and medicine, but also for things like understanding empathy&#x2F

Geriatric simulation is interesting, but couldn't this also be applied to pediatric simulation for improved vision, hearing, strength and endurance? I don't see any show stoppers preventing the development of a youth-augmentation

I'd like to see a global foundation managing open standards, with local operators (commercial, nonprofit, academic, government) running radars, and multi-layered funding (enterprise subscriptions, public-good subsidies, and co-op model

I agree, personal energy abundance is disruptive: * Utility decentralization, economic liberation from near zero marginal cost of energy after initial investment. * Geo political: reduced dependence on hydrocarbon fuels, energy sovereignty

Truck at 100% = 131 kwh, Minus 10% loss in transfer = 120 kwh House using 12 kwh/d = 10 days, up to 24kwh/d = 5 days Local conditions are typically partly cloudy/rain but still system producing more than can be used.

I installed a similar EG4 inverter and battery system and had a similar experience. The big problem I ran into was that EG4 inverters are NOT compatible with my state's power grid (Hawaii) but because I had so much power, it turned ou

Yes, this wasn't economically feasible 10 years ago due to the rapid improvement in batteries, inverters, heat pumps for air conditioning and water heating, etc. I've been living off grid over 20 years but its only recently that

Personal energy abundance and off grid independence is the good life and it means using all electric appliances and vehicles, heat pump and hot tub, powered by nonpolluting energy generation. As the article alluded to, scale is important fo

I disconnected from the grid entirely so there is no bill. Since the local power company here is only paying 10 cents per kw for solar power (which they resell at greater profit), I decided to run a small crypo miner and I still have excess

I took advantage of the IRA solar power and $7500 EV credit, now I have an off grid home all electric appliances and excess power for hot tubs and EV's. The Ford Lightning acts as a generator. This was the greatest most life changing

In part with heavy rains, Puna geothermal fracking on Hawaii Island appears likely to be responsible for 2018 eruption. So no, not 'minimal'.
