off topic remark: As is often the case when I come across a youtube link, I briefly thought about clicking on it but somehow decided against it. I figure it's because the link (as always with youtube) doesn't contain any hint to w

Overhead wires work fine with the railway network but somehow I think that having all these independently operated trucks drawing power on one pair of wires might be a challenging problem. A single train draws a lot of power (several MWs) b

Sounds like you're underestimating the underlying logistics of swapping out huge/heavy battery packs. If you use the throughput (trucks refueled per period of time) of a conventional gas station as a benchmark to compare the batte

The tactic of pushing users by deliberately degrading ux has been obvious for a long time with mobile websites vs mobile apps as well. Usability of mobile websites has intentionally been kept worse than that of mobile apps. Probably from no

As far as my understanding goes, bio processes using whole organisms/cells like algae/bacteriae/fungi (as opposed to processes using a small set of enzymes or plain chemical processes using catalysts) inevitably come with the

Problem is: how are you going to convince great numbers of people to alter their daily routine that might also be quite synchronized across a country's population? Like tea time in the UK where apparently millions of people turn on the
