100KV power lines should not be above anyone's front yeard, or back yard for that matter. 100KV lines should be at least 100ft away from any building, with the power utility having at least 30ft of right of way of each side of the cables. All vegetation in that right of way should be cleared

There is no reason that 25KV and under are not underground. Any reasonably developer country already has 35KV and under underground

Actually we had self-driving real intelligence in the form of the horse and the carriage. We lost that with automobiles.

Nissan Leaf needs has an effective range of 40 miles, at least the initial models. Wells Fargo coach horses were changes every 35 or so miles.

Please, the "Nissan affordable EV" had a range of a horse.

yes, it can only do it with the screen off, wifi off, bluetooth off and cellular radio off. In fact it will be able to do more than a week.

As soon as you start using it like the people actually use their phones 20 hours is the maximum.

The iphone 8 could be 30% thicker while still being thin but house 4 times as much battery as it houses now.

in a proper world PG&E should fail and the lawsuits should be files against all the shareholders who elected directors to guide the company that way and didn't remove them

Sorry, I fail to understand how the 1.618, expressing a ratio makes features less than one atom width. The Silicon crystal structure is not wishful thinking, it is defined by physics.

Now, switching to a different material is definitely a possibility, but still, what is a ratio got to do with it?

I don't think so. I think this is a corporation. That a developed country would use air power lines and not underground ones in the 21st century is beyond me.

What? She isn't even running

How is that even relevant?

It is not hard, it takes a long time to weed out those that are not serious and committed. How do I know - I went through it.

The dimension of one link of the silicon lattice is around 0.5nm (actually slightly bigger). That's the distance between 2 atoms. If you want a circuit you have to leave at least one atom on each side of that circuit as insulation, the total feature size becomes 1.5nm (ok, slightly bigger). And that is one fragile circuit (chain of single atoms) If you increase it to two atoms wide and still leave a single atom each side for insulation you get to a 2nm feature size. Though a single atom wide insulation would be insufficient and you would likely go 2 atoms insulation, 2 atoms circuit and 2 more atoms insulation, or 3nm feature size. We have 7nm process these days, increasing the density twice we get to 3.5 nm process, and doubling it once again we get to 5nm process, and one more time we get to 3.5 nm process.

Nah, Moore's law is dead.We have two more cycles of doubling and we are done to the limits of silicom.

They do fingerprints and a photo in Disney Land/World these days. So what are you actually complaining about?
