No. $2 a kWh. And neither your KelvinWatts nor kilowatts are units of energy.

They are at 500KA of current so far, claim they will reach physics breakeven at 650KA next year, Engineering break even at 750KA and commercial break even at the 1000-1500 KA
Currents are not measured in KelvinAmperes. Yes, case matters.

But within the traffic jam, the driver does not have to pay attention to the road.
Yes, and the car drives completely autonomous inside of cities where the speed limit is
It doesn't, though: "Mercedes-Benz is initially offering DRIVE PILOT in Germany, where 13,191 kilometres of motorway are approved for conditionally automated driving." Quoted from Mercedes' marketing material. So, no level 3 city driving.

Sure, it's a shame that they're throwing away those magnificent engines, but that's not what's driving the cost of the SLS up. It was supposed to be a half billion dollars per launch, even with throwing the engines away.
I don't see how that would ever have been achievable, with the four first stage engines costing 400 million dollars alone: https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-commits-to-future-artemis-missions-with-more-sls-rocket-engines

The article contradicts itself. It says the rollover occurs every 19.6 year, but then lists 2019 and 2022 (Honda) as rollover years. Those can't both be true.
*sigh*, yeah, there can be offsets involved in actual implementations. The article could be clearer about that. It probably will be in a while.
Also: Primary source. So, RTFM and go away.

Computer timekeeping systems never measure time in weeks. [...] I'm not buying the 1024 weeks theory, though I do buy the general "rollover" bug theory.

If you are in the slow lane doing 80-90 km/h, how do you match speed with somebody doing 250 km/h in the fast lane?
Accelerate.
Comment Re:sub 1ms ping to goog (Score 1) 119
On the shell I get 0.4ms ping times to Google. This is with fiber tth, a PC with wired Gbit/s to a switch and then a router to the fibre transceiver.
If this is true, then both your physical location and your routing are extremely unusual:
0.4 ms at the speed of light is equal to 120 km, or a distance of 60 km (ping is round trip) to "Google"
(whatever that actually means).
Probably even less, since light in glass is quite a bit slower than light in vacuum.

I'm not a web guy, but isn't CSS supposed to do this already? Isn't "nested" what is meant by "cascading" in Cascading Style Sheets?
No.
It's the scope of rule application that cascades through several rule sources,
not the rules within a single source - with "CSS from the web server" always
being a single source, the "author stylesheets".

Let‘s encrypt is brilliant, but (in it‘s simplest implementation) it needs an inbound connection resolving from to the common name used in the certificate.
It doesn't. Yes, you need a hostname that's resolvable via regular DNS, but that's all: There are other challenge types available for hostname verification, and the DNS challenge works well.
That means my internal network’s services need regular domain names (.k2r will not work)
True.

Nope.

It is to be clarified that Lyra is not a general purpose audio codec,
but a domain-specialized speech codec.
While it certainly is an impressive achievement, and will no doubt be
highly useful for low-bandwidth voice communication (the examples are
quite impressive), it won't make music streaming or any other non-speech
audio more bandwidth-efficient.
