but everyone can afford a non-existant huge-ass battery under their house? (Not everyone has a house either, some rent, others live in apartments, lol)

"There's no reason" just "make it safe and cheap in huge size". Kind of like there's no reason we can't go to Mars for tourism. Just make it as convenient, safe, and cheap as a jet to London.

That's fine, since nobody attempted to disprove that in the first place. The idea that they're at a disadvantage to Ireland in that aspect because the latter has more numbers-wise was what was addressed. They might very well not b

The amount of skilled immigrants, researchers and engineers, matters for this comparison. Not just the total amount including random people arriving at the coast.

The difference is that nobody brags about churning out pages like the fastcompany.com link landing page. If anything, they're ashamed of it - and they only do it because managers and shady SEO types push for that shit. Nor are such blo

They have little interest to "showcase how good it is with doing that" since (a) people already see it's good and are hooked, (b) they don't want to stop the pace of changes and fall behind on features by focusing on sta

Not if you give it guidance for the architecture and don't just blindly let it one-shot after one-shot of huge chunks of the program. Besides, AI can also be told to do the refactor.
