You cannot use IPv4 100% efficiently. Even if you approach 90% usage, that would probably be very optimistic. AWS has probably millions of physical servers by now (they had ca. 1,4 million servers by December 2014 it seems) each with probab

Sounds like a very bad IPAM - probably was a good move to sell it, since it showed all the places, where the network was not managed well and brought in a decent sum. At least so it seems from the few sentences you have written. Also, in ye

I guess the car charging will make up a lot less than 35 GW constant demand though heating will probably make up a lot more than that over time. This will probably more than offset the general energy savings in electromobiles. Progressively

In 2020, I feel writing linear text for other than niche purposes is archaic. Conveying information that way is quite slow and doesn't really scale, that might be also one of the reasons, why we haven't really much progress in eff

Well, there are patents for running diesel engines with sodium, at least I was told so much by my father who researched the problem thoroughly. The density isn't that low considering using a fuel cell, you can convert the energy a lot

My father has an idea to use sodium (Na) as fuel for fuel cells. This could easily replace batteries by having more or less instant reactions to demand, being much more energy dense and being simple to handle. Also, there is no CO_2 that wo

That is very roughly... it is about 2/3 c and can be calculated by the refractive index of quartz glass vs air (e.g. SiO2 has refractive index between 1.55 bad and 1.4 good for the speed) e.g. 1/1.55 ~ 0.645 and 1/1.4 ~ 0.714
