What are they right about? E-mail is already decentralized. Anyone can send and receive an e-mail with only having network access as a barrier, and you only need a typical modern computer to send millions of them. Mailchimp's value pro

It doesn't get you anywhere to compare numbers between research and industry because ITER won't even generate electricity to the grid. I'm merely saying that if we have $20 billion laying around you can imagine the practical
