Also an option indeed, but eventually the consumers pay for this difference. The incentive with the 'normal' merit order model is that the most expensive generator is that they make barely a profit if at all. Not too attractive. B

It might drop, but a little only. Apparently, paying €150 for a MW is acceptable for companies. But the alternative is shutting down, so the cost gets forwarded to consumers of their products eventually. This is of course dampened by middle

Doesn't need to be easy. It's being worked on by many many people.

> or example, if at a given moment you need 100 MW of solar at €10, 100 MW of wind at €12, and 1 MW of gas at €150, consumers will be billed €150 for each and every MW they consume. Since the power is exactly the same, people don't

The majority of power generation in Europe is still based on fossil fuels. And thus those are the price setters according to the Merit order curve [0], since they have the highest cost still. [0] https://docs.energytransitionmod

Computer for eg high-frequency trading are still 'reading'/interpreting the news, so even computers have this issue.

Policy, decisions, are all made by people, who read the news. I'd say this can easily lead to a self fulfilling prophecy: if you expect the economy to go bad, you don't hire or even fire people. If enough businesses do this, lots

Differential computing comes to mind. Kinda like prolog in that you can run a function in reverse.

Control loops with SQLite no just in the loop but written around it, could you please elaborate? Sounds interesting.

Which should be worrying. It's also why most people don't pass (nor try) the bar exam.

Would this event be in the Netherlands? A tosti is Dutch for what's called a croque monsieur basically anywhere else.

Being from the Netherlands, I don't think we in majority regret being in the Euro or Schengen. Of course, there's downsides and some people want out, but you'll have those in any country.

Is that an option even? Sure, unofficially, but another country officially adopting the US dollar as their currency?

Except that it takes about 6 months for a gun from Earth to get to Mars. It's hard governing a place you can't easily reach. And if a Mars colony really is self sustaining, stopping supply runs also doesn't do as much as you

Fusion brings the power of the stars directly to us, without it capturing the energy millions of miles later. It unlocks a Star Trek, post-scarcity future that PV and wind cannot bring due to their space requirements. Also, you could event

Not everything is expressed in cost, externalities like the looks and intrusiveness of something do matter. 1 fusion plant has less NIMBYs to deal with than wind-on-land, for example. But yes, could be that still it's too expensive by

Even if you 3D print a whole cathedral in concrete, printing something really detailed and the intricate takes more time than a straight line or simple curve, because the print head needs to ac/decelerate. And time, even that of machin

Interesting idea. Though I doubt working with(slightly?) radioactive steel during construction makes things cheaper. It cannot be used conventionally for a reason, it needs special handling I suppose.
