imagine how many more thousands they could save by replacing 200k in toy computers with a real datacenter platform.

Not so fast, mercantilist ! I can go out to the forest or beach  anytime I desire and gather a free lunch. Guess you are not much of an out-door person. Also, bread , beans and milk are SURPLUS products almost everywhere on earth --- production is higher than consumption --- so why does their cost inflate with available dollars ? Items in scarcity ... like caviar , 15 Y/O scotch,  GPUs or silk shirts ...  of-course   price differently. 

FIREFOX is no longer the best option. Librewolf  installs & works smooth as butter; a slash-dot poster gave me the clue, and I switched a couple weeks ago. Been with MOZ since Netscape, but they have changed; I never looked back.

First, we need a plushy of Kit. My wife couldn't tell you the difference between Chrome, Edge, or Firefox from a practical standpoint...but she wants a Kit plushy...so, merchandising works.

Second...Firefox seems to be spending it time making itself more and more annoying. As much as one could appreciate that not everybody knows how to use all the browser features...it's adopted Edge levels of nags, notifications, and "helpful hints". Be less helpful.

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.
