One of the ideas I've heard behind these smaller reactors is that since you have say 10 small reactors instead of 1 big reactor, you can decrease the overall output by just shutting down a few of the smaller reactors. It's absolut

That's a really weird claim to me. Is your objection that the plane isn't carbon-neutral because it still has carbon emissions, and the claimed "neutrality" isn't an inherent aspect of the plane but rather a choice

As a hobbyist, once I have a pattern, cutting out the fabric is by far the most tedious aspect of making a garment. It's just lots of precise handwork. Typically, when I'm making something, it's ~80% cutting, 20% sewing. By r

And were you to do that simple thing at a competitive price, it'd be great. But you don't. To be competitive you either need to drop prices or do more stuff to be worth the money.

No, the tradeoff is that even with volume, rsync.net storage costs are $15/TBmonth [0], which is ~3x managed alternatives [1,2] and ~10x DIY alternatives [3]. To be fair, ZFS snapshots are "free" but whether that's worth

Espressif makes 3 categories of ESP32-S2: - IC: Just the bare chip. Costs 99c as you say. - Module: The chip on a PCB with castellated edges and a PCB antenna (normal) or IPEX connector (the "-I" variants). These cost ~$2. - Devki
