It would have been quite spectacular to watch the collision.

Yes.
But, as usual, the enemies of privacy cannot stop pushing.
When they discover that their files can't be recovered when there's a problem with their account then they'll learn what bitlocker is.
The whole thing is an obvious scam. Hence details do not matter.
Indeed. "Exciting" is for products you do not need.
But with the usual non-working minds of the nuclear fanbois, this will probably sell.

"The short answer is that the Tax Code enforces a Stock Transaction Tax (STT) on every sale, barter or exchange of shares in a listed company. Under Section 127(A) of the Tax Code, as amended by the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law, the STT rate is 6/10 of 1% based on the gross selling price or gross value in money of the shares of stock sold, bartered, exchanged or otherwise disposed.
The burden to pay the STT, as provided in Revenue Regulations (RR) No. 6-08, is imposed on the seller or transferor and remitted by the seller or transferor's broker. The stockbroker who effected the sale has the duty to collect the tax from the seller upon issuance of the confirmation of sale, issue the corresponding receipt thereof, and remit the same to the tax authorities. "
Would such a STT tax in the USA reduce a lot of possibly harmful churn from algorithmic trading? Or would it be extremely harmful to everyone by reducing liquidity? Wondering how that is working out in the Philippines?
The problem with "hot rock" is that, while it has incredibly high thermal mass and can retain a lot of heat, the thermal conductivity of rock is very poor - so poor that once you take the heat out, it takes weeks or months to put it back..
Oddly enough, you just described how it might work perfectly if you had a few sites to extract that energy source that’s more dependent on timing than physics.
Extract the energy from “hot rock” when hot. When it cools to a non-optimum temperature, you switch back to primary power and target the next hot site to pull energy from and wait for the first one to heat back up to become an optimized energy source again. Rinse and repeat.
Switch to geothermal sources in times when the primary is more expensive (such as heating costs in winter). Convert to geothermal when you can mimic nature year round and pull the energy effeciently.
Oh, and much like Japan nuclear wont forget tsunamis anytime soon, let us not forget about natural and wild volcanic activity. One cannot over engineer that safety valve enough.
To err is human, to forgive, beyond the scope of the Operating System.
