Funny coincidence --- I just came across the sci-history fact  the original Aharanov/Bohm ( 1961 ) paper ( vector potential Quantum effect  ) was written in German for a German sci-mag. Wonder what *.ai translator would/will make of Einsteins "photon" ?

I have never understood the "high frontier" concept. Why spend trillions going to Mar ( which hates us and makes astroboiz eat toothpaste  ) ...  instead of spending millions  at off-shore Hawaii where every lunch is lobster or maimai .  And snorkling 1st class. We don't even talk of  sufacing into  sunny afternoons spent surfing, instead of hiding in a  gawdforsaken  ( -80 F ) cave while dust-storms rage just feet away. And does kevlar/teflon astro-sheik compare to  palm-frond hula-babe dancing ? What's the perv against our low frontier with all the untapped minerals 1000 generations of humans would crave ?   I just don't understand current priorities.

Yes. Watt peak. And it does, at least for me. Let's say I can get 120 Watts on average over 8 hrs at 300 days/year, this means that I can get 300 kWh a year. If I pay 20 ct/kWh, it will pay back my initial investment of $300 within 5 years.

There is nothing that forbids me to install more than one of those $300/800 Wp systems in general. But I am no longer allowed to just plug them into the next wall socket according to local regulations, and inform my utility after the fact. If I want more than 800 Wp, I have to apply for a larger system, and I have to get it approved. If for instance, I want 10 kWp, I buy 12 of them, costing me $3600, a power management system for maybe $1500, and I need a board certified engineer to approve the setup. At the end, I'll pay maybe $8000 for the whole 10 kW setup, but not $50,000.

That's not what I claim. But for $300, I can halve my energy bill.

No, but it's not about being off-grid. It's about generating about 50% of the electricity you need over a year yourself - for $300.

No, it was not because we wanted cheap stuff. No politician ran on cheap stuff, hell no politician ran on globalisation or mass immigration. That was all railroaded by the elite. The only politicians and media who were protesting it, were on the extreme fringe.

We the people are guilty of a lot of things, but we didn't vote for this.

That's a very U.S. centric problem. Apparently, the U.S. make it extremely cumbersome and expensive to build and own Solar, while I can go to the next departement store or to an online store and buy a 800 Wp setup for $300, mount it myself, and all the paper work I have to do is to tell my utility, that I have that 800 Wp system in place.

It's possible that the contracts that allow Tucows to act as registrar for .today, .is and .ph require disclosure in certain circumstances, which might include the FBI demanding the data.

If we listen to the current rhetoric, every country is a direct rival. And the idea was that people who trade with you are seldom interested in killing you, because that would stop the trade they profited from all the time.

Space itself ... if a self exists ... but if it doesn't exist how can you bend it? .  The "aether" assumption was well motivated. Maxwell believed it, Lorentz believed it. I suspect the  Aharanov/Bohm effect implies it. How to get-around the Michaelson/Morley result I have no idea. 

Sorry. The matter densities lost their minus signs in the exponent. It's 10^-28 grams per cm^3 respective 10^-31 grams per cm^3.

If you read Fritz Zwicky's original 1933 and 1936 papers, that's what he actually said about Dark Matter.

Helvetica Physica Acta, Vol. 6, p. 122

An expansion rate of 500 kilometers per second per million parsecs is equivalent to an average density of rho = 10^28 grams per cm^3, according to EINSTEIN and DE SITTER. From the observation of self radiating matter HUBBLE estimates rho ~ 10^31 grams per cm^3. Of course, it is possible, that radiating plus dark (cold) matter put together result in a massively larger density, and the value rho ~ 10^28 grams per cm^3 seems not unreasonable.

As you can see, Zwicky himself coins the term Dark Matter as the place holder for non-radiation stuff out there to resolve a discrepancy of 1 to 1000. Better measurements of the Hubble constant, which at the time was estimated to be 500 km/sec per million parsecs, and is now estimated to be 70 km/sec per million parsecs has shrunk the discrepancy to about 1 to 5, but still, Dark Matter is exactly that, postulated stuff to make up for a discrepancy.

Not much financial self-interest on Huangs part ... eh? Say nothing of  cultural fear; " loss of face" when the *.ai bubble bursts ( without constant gub'mnt prop-ups ) must give Huang nightmares.

It is always confounding how people always point at Dark Matter and Dark Energy and complain: See? Physicists make things up to keep their theories intact. And physicists then try to explain, that yes, they make those things up, because otherwise theories break. And people then complain: But you don't know what it is! And then physicists replay: Exactly. We don't know what it is. And people cry: But this is a problem! And physicists answer: Yes, this is a problem.

Epics version just sucks donkey balls, that's the problem. I don't mind free games but with Epic I consider that the only reason to even go there. I've you're used to finding and searching things on steam, it's so painful to use Epic.
