It would increase the weight of the boat though, by quite a bit so you'd end up needing a bigger battery. The battery also does not have 100% efficiency so add in another 10% for losses. You'd also need downtime to charge that battery up - about 15-20 hours if you use level 2 charging. Yes, 200 kwh seems oddly low.

I think the job market will get better by mid January 2023, when budgets open up. TC will probably be quite a bit lower than 2021 offers, but there's work to be done everywhere.

Reducing salaries opens a whole new can of worms with legal and immigration involved. Basically, if you hire someone on a visa, it is going to be a hassle to reduce their salaries - and the knock on effects could include restarting the immigration process. It might end up costing more than the dollars saved, and employees will likely leave anyway.

I moved myself and my job to Canada (L6 engineer at FAANG). It's been alright, I wish I could stay but didn't really see a way forward in the USA, immigration-wise.

I think folks in the US fail to see that they'll be competing with engineers of other nationalities - regardless of if they're in the USA or outside, and there's really nothing that Congress or anyone else can do to prevent remote jobs (and the trickle-down monies) from leaving the country.

Most American educated scientists aren't American, unless that's what you meant.

I have a TCL TV (with Roku) and searching for a show using the voice remote generally gets me the result and also which app is streaming it. I use it all the time these days.

iPhones are ridiculously expensive in India because of the import taxes - a decent chunk of the population would be able to afford them if they were brought in line with the US prices.

Isn't that Carrie-Anne Moss?

That's a pretty simplistic view - EU buys Russian oil as well but you'd hire them, right?

I'd guess a lot of the operating cost of nuclear plants is just the cost to break even - that's repaying infrastructure loans etc
