No. Because neither storage nor generation is evenly spread. In some places you would have nothing, in some you could have potentially hours.

In practical terms, you would most probably get nothing, because situation like this would lead to complete grid breakdown and interruption of service.

Sorry, but this is so vague that I don't know if there is any impact at all. What is the bit rate of these communication channels? How did agents communicate with each other to coordinate on which channel to use in the first place?

There will be a point in the future, possibly near future, when AI will be capable of reliably producing encyclopedic content, and we'll have tools to verify that the content produced passes reasonable standards.

Today is not the day. Especially not regarding the verification.

>> As any wise country would do when faced with superior technology, we should import it with the condition of technology exchange.

Europe tried doing that. And our green technology sector promptly collapsed, because it couldn't compete with Chinese undercutting our prices. The only thing left now are wind turbines, but Chinese are making inroads there too. In the meantime, the green transition barely moved a needle when energy shock arrived in 2022 or this year. Rendering rest of our industry, especially chemical industry, uncompetitive.

Utilities are one of the cases where market dynamics break down. It's very obvious why, when you realize how difficult it is build even a relatively simple electrical transmission system, or a power plant. The barriers to entry are extremely high.

Furthermore, switching from one provider to another is inherently difficult. There is only one set of pipes leading to your house, how you going to switch to an alternative? Who is going to build the line for the 1 new customer?

And finally, splitting the business across the vertical doesn't work either. Generation of power is tied to grid management, this is tied to transmission maintenance and expansion.

All things considered. Monopoly emerges naturally and rent seeking is pretty much given. There are only two options left. Either the utility is operated by government for common good, or it the monopolist is so heavily regulated and controlled by the government, that it is, in effect, its extension.

Regulation by 3rd parties. People use phones for payments and accessing sensitive services. But these apps work only on Android / iOS. There those who don't seek this use case, but there are rather small and increasingly shrinking minority. This is compounded by the knowhow needed to install non-stock OS on phone in the first place.

This is a well known issue in Europe. Companies operating in the defense industry, even well established ones, can not access regular banking services. This issue affects even countries where ESG is not considered a priority, such as Czechia, because only branches of international banks operate here.

Because Vienna politicians have some sense.

In other words, people will lose jobs with no off ramp, horses will get dumped somewhere (because they can't be used for any work, or slaughtered), city will lose one more tradition and get a bit more bland.

No wonder, with the industrial collapse and increase in prices.

I believe that their fabs are running at full capacity already at this point. If they were to announce new GPUs, where would they make them?

I doubt it, because if they did, Russina and Chinese state media would be blasting it non-stop.

Yes, it's there. Th series is kind of all over the place.
