Thanks. That was a lot of time spent; I appreciate your commitment to inquiry/discovery. I still struggle with what I see as a Thomas fighting a war of technicalities to avoid the actual point, and I tried to leave significant rope to

I don't hate the idea of this. Ideally what I'd like & have suggested is that citizens be able to get attestation of their content at their desired level. I should be able to get anything I write signed by varying levels of go

How do we discriminate on what use cases are acceptable or not? How do we prevent arbitrary sites from abroad soaking up gobs of very exact detailed government signed data? I don't see the active question as: are there valid uses? Mayb

In my mind I was comparing versus the alternative stated of buying a generator & fuel for it. The generator will be up-front pricier, weightier, and bulkier, by far on each count. So it still seems like a huge win to me versus what&#x27

Yikes! I use a charging pouch for sure but definitely think of going further. I also have a pretty great charger & charge gently, usually 1A on my 4.5Ah cells. Barely anything. And I monitor cell resistance closely to spot trouble ahead

I can get quite a lot of night time light out of a $65 100Whr lipo and a $50 inverter. That sounds much better to me than a generator.

This was kind of the rural electrification challenge the US faced. Opting to wire almost everyone up was a costly endeavor at the time. But one we take for granted now. Given where the world is now, given how much easier decentralized solar

Yeah I absolutely hate it but yeah. Every time we feel sad & bad about the world, every time the Fear Uncertainty & Doubt is given places in our hearts, it makes us weak & susceptible. That's the premise of The Shock Doctri

It could also potentially have a massive chilling effect on the EU. Maybe it's still worth doing, maybe the value is there. Personally I think, in a time of great happening & uncertainty , countries are demanding for a lot of magic

Open source has gotten infinitely more industrial-commercial, but it has only further proven again and again and again the Bazaar model. Cathedrals develop fast & then quickly move to only ossify & stagnante. Bazaars beget diversity

Fair enough! "Promoter" is my sly but real take; he's promoting his own industry & legacy here. "Industry Insider Enthusiast" might be a nicer take, a fittingly general hat to toot from here.
