For the general population yes. For Amazon's use probably not. Since Amazon paid for the whole thing, it might be easier/faster to connect directly from Amazon data enter in Maryland to Amazon data center in Ireland than to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, or New England and then switch to another optical line for land based traversal.

I do not understand. Private companies have been laying undersea cables since Morse code was the default communications protocol. Your objection is over a hundred years too late. Second, while the summary does not detail what Amazon plans to do with the cable, the primary use will be to connect Amazon's internal systems first. The excess capacity might be leased. So this cable may not really connect to Europe at all for you or the general population.

A battery for a small amount of power is not hard to make. A battery large enough to power a city overnight does not exist. The alternative is a very large bank of batteries. While working with hydrogen has problems, there is a great deal more experience with large scale hydrogen use like in refineries today.

The main obstacle I see is you need to build large banks of batteries. There would be less infrastructure involved with storing a large amount of gas. Also this plan retrofits an existing gas turbine so it is being repurposed.

The number one objection that opponents have against solar or wind power is that it is not always available. Storing excess electrical power has been a goal. Large banks of batteries is a possible solution. Or pressurized caves. Or molten salt. This proposes using hydrogen. The main advantage is that burning hydrogen can use existing infrastructure if it is modified.

So you admit the article identifies a source; you simply dismissed it because you think it will not work.

I see there is another person who did not read the whole summary.

Only if you did not read the next paragraph of the summary.

Only if you cherry pick what is considered as "cost" like excluding cost of fuel.

This all started when McNally's viewers linked to one Proven's videos where they made many claims about how secure their locks were. McNally quickly opened the lock using a shim from an aluminum can he cut on camera. Proven's response to that video was to claim the video was faked using edits and suing McNally. McNally's response was to film himself getting a brand new Proven lock from an Amazon drop box shipment and opening the lock without any video edits again using an aluminum can. Then Proven tried to call McNally's wife on her private number. So the next several videos from McNally is where he orders, opens, and picks many, many different models of Proven locks one after the other in a row.

[sarcasm] The solution is easy: Just have another AI fix the mistakes of the existing AI. Then use another AI to fix the fixes of the second AI. Where is my executive level bonus for implementing this? It should be at least 7 figures.[/sarcasm]

The problem with your question is it is binary. Both situation could occur as AI creates more work for the people that EA did not lay off because EA thinks they could reduce staff that they could not. Remember EA specifically is being bought out in a leveraged buyout. The new owners may only care about the quarterly savings they get when they continuously reduce staff as they sell EA assets piece by piece.

An issue that most people are not aware is the possible switchover to ATSC 3.0 and the sunsetting of ATSC 1.0 for OTA broadcasts in the US. The main problem is ATSC 3.0 has DRM encryption when 1.0 did not. When ATSC 1.0 is retired, all older TVs will need a new device to decrypt OTA signals. Complicating this transition is the ATSC 3.0 deployment has been poorly and stupidly managed. It was rolled out last year with zero compliant and "authorized" boxes. As such many new TVs especially budget ones do not have the decryption hardware because the standards body took so long to authorize devices/manufacturers.
