> On that same note though - in some free and open energy markets it is not unheard of to buy at <$10/mWh during excess production periods and sell at >$200/mWh at peak on-demand - plenty of margin for arbitrage there -

Casey is also very bullish on Musk and his Mars plans. I wouldn‘t be surprised if half of the plan is to have the tech ready to build the methane generation infrastructure for Musk‘s Mars colony.

Natural gas doesn’t stink. It’s the additives that are there for exactly the reason to be able to smell it if there is a leak.

Actually, the title is not correct. It's "Let's DFAB" which is very nondescript and "DFAB" might mean "Digital Fabrication" as far as I can tell now. It's also not only about clocks either but th

Since the other submission of an article on a ship with a magnetohydrodynamic drive seems to be an april fool’s joke: here is the Yamato-1, an actual prototype ship from the 1990s that had a magnetohydrodynamic drive and an awesome Star Tr

The BoM is of course only a small part of the cost and there is lots of work time and prototypes that need to be paid off by selling finished devices. I‘m sorry if that sounded like I thought that the price might be too high. Thanks for yo

The Elecrow page says that the analog front end used on the board is a ADS1299. The eight channel version of it is 60€+VAT on Digikey. The rest of the parts is most likely very cheap.

NeuraLink is using a specialized robot to surgically insert very thin electrodes into the brain. This device here uses good old wet or dry EEG electrodes that are touching the outside of the head (e.g. on an EEG cap).

Add a few other countries to the list and see how their curves look almost the same as Germany's... (The situation is not much different on the other graphs) https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-energy-use

Are you not concerned that two thirds of the nuclear conversion and over half of the enrichtment capabilities are controlled by Russia and China? [0] This feels like the "cheap Russian energy for Europe"-trap again? [0] see also

TLDR: Russia controls almost 40% of the uranium conversion capacities and 46% of the enrichment capacities. China is also controlling some amount, leaving only 36% of the conversion (Canada, France) and about 42% of the enrichment capacitie

Actually we have a Germany-wide ticket for public transport since last year. With 49€/month it is very affordable and entitles us to use public transport and regional trains as much as we want. The federal government funds the system w
