Has anyone done any research on how much 'energy' is stored in wind currents? How many wind turbines can we erect before we affect the climate by disrupting air currents?

I haven't seen this approach before, and I like the idea of it. Dunno if it fits for all goals though. Would it be effective if you just measured total hours?

Has anyone figured out how to deal with the issue of latency for space-based internet? Things like online games and video calls will just not work if the traffic hits space. I coul…

Microservices: here be dragons.

I've been following this project for five or six years now. Fascinating stuff that EvilDragon has been doing, and his determination and perseverance is admirable. (CircuitCo, who m…
