    In America, all the gates (I have been to) subject you to constant noise pollution in the form of announcements over the public address system.

    Capital cost of these plants is significant, which is why most of them run 24 hours per day. If you only run them 8 hours per day, you triple the capital cost.

    This is a nothing story. Court cases have many checkpoints along the way and this case has passed a very minor checkpoint that is almost always passed. The real meat is yet to come…

    When sources were inherently dispatchable, like coal/oil/gas, reliability was free. Markets have not been updated to reflect the value of reliability. It may be just an oversight o…

    It addresses reliability by shedding the customers who don't pay a premium for reliability first. Most of the time, that can solve the problem. It is, as you say, imperfect because…

    Public transit only makes sense in urban areas. Urban areas tend to have high rates of crime. This is one of the driving factors behind the popularity of personal transportation an…

    I'm also an Omada fan. I just have two APs right now but I love controlling them from a single dashboard and look forward to adding their ER605 router so I can put my security came…

    You seem to have an unrealistic idea of how much a "drone" would cost. If you mean some lightweight slow Cessna 172 class vehicle, those are around $300K. But kind of useless in a …

    How would a P-51 ever catch up to an F-35, or even see it at night or in bad weather? Know what's a good drone? A dozen Navy SM-6s launched from a destroyer, cued by a nearly invis…

    If you take an unreasonable and extreme extrapolation of the DHS statement, you can claim the stated reasoning seems to allow that, but I wouldn't bet money on your being right. Th…
