How do they know the assets are actually in California? Isn't the Blockchain everywhere and nowhere at the same time?

The OP says there's no upside. I think that the OP is wrong and you're right. Could there still be downsides? Yes. But I think that there are possible upsides if the people in the company come to realize that you were right. They

Certainly that's not the full cost. It just subsidizes it heavily. (Not that it's a bad idea to do so. Just that $7 isn't the real cost.)

Oh, I agree. I'm just noting the irony that the activists embrace refugees coming to Venice but not tourists. And really I'm focusing on the way that they say "no one is illegal" when they clearly don't like tourist

It's true that the Chromebook isn't so good for many CS classes. But it is possible to start up Linux access on a Chromebook. So there's that. My classes, though, didn't need them.

I've had the best luck with a used Chromebook that I purchased on eBay for $100 or so. It's not like I had to install any software for my classes. It was all Google docs and sheets. And I didn't worry about someone stealing i

A few parts are dramatically slower. Images for me, for instance, really slow down the compilation, especially if latex needs to read a high definition image into memory. Raw text like that from a novel is very fast.

My issue with the wokeness is that it makes the stories very predictable. One race of characters is pretty much bad. The other race needs some saviorism. It's not the message of wokeness that is boring, but the repetitive and insistent

The unpleasantness is definitely a problem. It's like the cool writers want to prove they are making something challenging by stripping away all of the sugarcoating that we normally love in narrative (and food!). I realize that the kin

And movies and TV. Why try some random new stuff when any of the classic movies is both guaranteed to be good and probably available for free from the library's DVD collection?

These are all fair points. The extra costs and limits are ostensibly because of safety. Yes, I know that engineers can game the system, but they're listing real reasons why the plant should shoulder the costs to the larger grid.

I encourage you to keep going. Regular TV seems lame to me. A curated selection of YouTube videos is just the ticket. I often find myself browsing it instead of trying to watch some official streaming service.

1200 miles of range? I only need 100-200 regularly and maybe a bit more on special occasions. Can I spend 1/6 as much and get 1/6 the battery?

My understanding is that there's a much shorter, simpler form of "basic training" for folks like this. The military bands, for instance, use it. I think the idea is that they can say that they "went through basic just li

Yes, separate metadata has great advantages, but it can get separated from the main file pretty easily. Many social media platforms and email sites will let you embed PNG files. But they won't let you embed an image with a separate met

I know people like the Ripley novels, but I find them really creepy and predictable. This kind of wish-fulfillment fiction is kind of lazy. It's like the sci-fi where the author just invents a gadget that delivers what people fantasize

I believe the tires themselves have RFID chips in them. There are some various RFID readers embedded in highways and roads that quietly track all tires that go over them.

A fair point. Or is it "using software"? A person typing an essay with a word processor in doing more work than many of the users tweaking no code software.

What if some executive tweaks a "no code" tool? Technically, the name says that there's no coding involved.
