If the hangul emperor married a perisan princess and got Persian goods, it doesn't change the status or the lives of average people. On the Indian subcontinent traders had participation from all walks of life so I'd call it way mo

Don't you need the defects to have semi conductors? I seen some really cool experiments with superconductors and every computer works better cold. Isn't that why Google's quantum computer is supercooled?

It is the case for most of the settled people and civilizations. Just because a few traders, monguls and sea peoples exist doesn't mean most people don't live and die within a few miles of their birthplaces. This is even true toda

Many iPhones are free in the US since they're given away or hand me downs, only the hand me down was 2 years old and still good. If you had asked earlier, or was around me you would have gotten a 6S and 6+.

Fun fact: resistance sucks and makes your electrons bump into protons and crash causing waste heat. Super conductors are usually supercooled and have 0 resistance and every electronic works more efficiently cooler.

What does energy neutral mean? What does properly designed mean? And at what cost to comfort or the property? You could turn off all your electricity and heat yourself with kerosene and have used no electricity for the year.

It's an active volcano, you need to run power lines, the ground shifts, and it can blow any time. It makes sense to make your own power for yourself and you can sell it back to the grid.

I agree. The design is brittle and very weak. If apple doesn't support those standard protocols it won't even bring any benefits. I love lighting. It's slow at data (if you use it to transfer data lol) but it's a robust

Is Google beloved? It was good. I use YouTube and the experience sucks now, google kills all the cool software they make too. People grudgingly use it but it's not beloved by users. Advertisers might be different.
