The problem is basically the fixed costs of the grid and all the other infrastructure, and the employees.
Strictly speaking: half of the cost on a household energy bill are grid costs.
If the energy costs ZERO ... the grid is still there to be paid.

Regarding Greta, some moron claimed I was "faithful follower" and had no clue about science.

He obviously did not grasp her simple 4 words :D alas, such is the world.

In most languages power and energy are synonyms.

Without using the correct unit, English is pretty difficult to understand in that regard.

For example, in German one would not use the term "Energy", but "Work". Then you have Power and Work as terms to deal with, which makes mix ups less likely.

However: in RL you need the unit anyway. So in tech we just write number + unit, and do not even use Power, Work or Energy, unless it is necessary.

There is not really much difference in the UI - except for niche Apps like the current Safari, which is close to unusable in my opinion.

When I used iPhones and iPads simultaneously they were more or less the same, never used an iPad with "iPad-OS" ... perhaps I should fool around with one in a mall, haha.

To say that is a misunderstanding of what it means to be "too cheap to meter".


No there is no misunderstand.

You say the same as I do, you just draw different conclusions.

As soon as you have your mobile BC miner and/or AI trainer in your laptop, the hotel rooms will shift from "electricity included" to: you have 10kWh free, the rest is metered.

Of course you could further nitpick about meaning of words and just bill/tax every household $1000 per month, and put the house holds on a 20Amps breaker ... and call it a day. Or night!

Firstly, in English, it's called the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP.
  No it is not.
Just look at Wikipedia :P

It is a purely american thing to pronounce what ever they want wrong.

but in English, that's the order the adjectives have to be.
Yes, if there would be an adjective in: "The Communist Party of China", then you had a point, but there is none.

And then you could blame China to speak bad English: because they define how their party is named in English, not you.

Stupid rant.
It's possible to have a high information society without the written word. Other traditions and methods of dissemination work just as well.


You do not have any of those traditions.

So learn to read.
And do read.

There is nothing elitist to be able what every 5 year child on the rest of the planet can do.

You have a hex code plug in for your browser, right?

The question is simply: what to you like about it and what not.
Can you live without what you like, or not.
Or do you hate it, but need it?

The Python eco system is mostly C(++) libraries where Python is the glue code. Web Frameworks and other niches are exceptions.

If you like the syntax/idea/concepts but need speed, you can try Mojo. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.modular.com%2Fmojo%2F...
If you like the above, but need speed and static type safety, try Nim: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnim-lang.org%2F (not sure how Mojo deals with static type safety - did not dig into it).

If you just want to fool around, try Godot Game Engine, its programming language GDScript looks like Nim/Mojo with some interesting extensions.

If you simply hate languages where white space has meaning: stay away from makefiles and bash/sh scripts :-P
