Why waste Billions? The french invented something more effective!

it’s Microsoft so probably not unless corporate account. You know the other solution.

Again it’s because businesses make revenue, i.e. Fiat money and people trade that money and exchange it for things etc…

That’s faith in a business not money

Comparison never made much sense, everyone uses money. The same cannot be said for Bitcoin

that it is

Yes both Western and Eastern Roman empire!

Not cost effective by any means, but then again none buys apple for cost effective anything. Some people just the brand it seems 🤦

they don’t say don’t anymore

No

10 in binary as well

I am sure chemical engineer wouldn’t mean much to them, I hope if I said I am a fancy plumber would at least convey the idea.

for once the comparison is apt

yeas

Your are kinda proving the point though, correct reply but missing the point somewhat.

Cameras can already read plates, it’s not that difficult via machine learning

Abstract:

We discovered a simple regime where a near-critical plasma irradiated by a laser of experimentally available intensity can self-organize to produce positrons and accelerate them to ultrarelativistic energies. The laser pulse piles up electrons at its leading edge, producing a strong longitudinal plasma electric field. The field creates a moving gamma-ray collider that generates positrons via the linear Breit-Wheeler process—annihilation of two gamma rays into an electron-positron pair. At the same time, the plasma field, rather than the laser, serves as an accelerator for the positrons. The discovery of positron acceleration was enabled by a first-of-its-kind kinetic simulation that generates pairs via photon-photon collisions. Using available laser intensities of 1022  W/cm2, the discovered regime can generate a GeV positron beam with a divergence angle of around 10° and a total charge of 0.1 pC. The result paves the way to experimental observation of the linear Breit-Wheeler process and to applications requiring positron beams.

Most people don’t live in the US, also a lot of people don’t live in single family homes and park on the street. No garage means you need to install lots of on street chargers.

Putting a charger on every street parking location will become disproportionately expensive.

All my headphones are wired so daily. I have a dongle for an iPad I use frequently and it works fine but charging it is a drain.
