But is it a 3% gain if we include the costs? Or would it actually be cheaper to just hire humans with the money going to tokens?

But the whole game is lying and stealing isn't it?

Yes, and this is a policy failure.

This is not true. Batteries are cheaper than peaker power plants using fossil fuel. They also allow the operator to fulfill market demands at the minute level versus the hours previously that it took to turn on a peaker plant.

This is being done at scale in California and Texas.

This is the exact scenario they are being used in at scale. The company removes their gas peaker plant infrastructure and replaces them with batteries. Already have the grid interconnect and now can dispatch power on the millisecond level instead of hour level.

My solar panels amaze me every day. It is just crazy that a flat panel, that doesn't have any moving parts, and requires a once a year cleaning (at most), just eliminated my power bill completely.

SpaceX is a junk stock. It has no place in the S&P 500

He's a twat so its totally on-brand.

They have to say this because we know how to value a satellite and space company (aka at 1/100th of their offering price).

The market can stay insane longer than you can stay solvent.

In the short term the market is a popularity machine but in the long term it is a weighing machine.

Which is still 10x what it is worth

So the plan is to make the cost of living even more expensive for people without kids?

Do they understand the problem in the first place? Many people can't afford to have kids.

Consider in your presentations leading with this as a demo to motivate the technical infrastructure you've put in place.

It is hard to grok what Contracts, etc. etc. allow you to do in the abstract so working through how it allows us to build a decentralized GitHub might be a good anchor in a tangible use case.

Your goal, I think, is to build a movement around Freenet.

How does bringing in "the woke mind virus" or "virtue signaling" into a technical conversation help build your movement vs. cause people to tune out?

A wise boss of mine, after reading a set of threads that I wrote like this, asked me to go think for a day on the difference between "being right" and "being effective."

Some of the things you say in these threads might be "right" but I can assure you that many of them are not effective, which is counterproductive to the goal you are trying to achieve.

So he forked the project and went his own way. I am not sure I see the issue here. This is how we do open source on the internet. You don't have to join him, but he also has the right to go his own way too.

The fact that they aren't a usual event is probably exactly the challenge here.

A Iran drone then bombing UAE's oil infrastructure as payback?

And the Trump thing, which cratered his car business

Did you not consider the 5 second dopamine hit I got from owning the libs?

It will be hilarious if Google built a data center in Nevada only to run Incline Village out of power (where Sergey Brin pretends to live as a tax dodge).

This is going to work until all of the sudden it doesn't.

Starting to spike in certain states as well: https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2026/04/13/m...

Less headaches, free futbol matches!

Trump has blundered like an idiot into this in Iran ...

... but the upside is that the same dynamics are making it possible for Ukraine to beat back Russia too.

It is a bad time to be an invading force.

And running out of Patriots

If S&P change their rules, I am going to sell my index funds, taxes be damned.

Sadly, this is not the only trash that is going to be hoisted on us retirement investors. OpenAI is waiting in the wings as well.

I am sure I am not the only one. That doesn't seem like it will be good for the market.

Should write a MIT case study on that in "Bad Hypotheses 101"

I hate that I will have to invest in this crap with my retirement index funds
