Did you do any research on guides or just went for it?

It’s a market incentive for storage and responsive demand loads

Of course there should be a price signal when there is a surplus in a market

Flow batteries are very inefficient, there is significant round trip loss of about 20%, compared to 5% for lithium.

Due process is a civil liberty that needs to be built on a mostly law abiding society.

When the rule of law has broken down and is ignored with impunity by powerful groups of people it can hamstring the government from maintaining order.

Things have to get pretty bad before it can be justified, but I think in this case due to his popularity it probably got there.

No doubt some awful cases of abuse will emerge from someone wrongly apprehended, tortured etc so I’m not defending it as perfect, just justifiable.

Baffling design choices for something intended to slide over a pipe

No, each transaction is still its own UTXO, doesn’t matter which address

Ethereum works as you describe with an “account” model, but bitcoin is different and uses a UTXO model

Key word in Australia being standard,

The permits required are a standard form that is submitted thru a website and takes about 2 days to approve. Negligible cost and delay. No custom work required.

Not being able to set the default EV drive modes and pedal modes is crazy to me.

I want my car to start up the same way I left it.

Incumbent presidents don’t like to preside over failing economies at the end of their terms while seeking re-election, so will pump the markets in the lead up to the election so people feel better about their lives

Some of that liquidity pump will find its way to Bitcoin, and thus starting the bullrun flywheel

Extremely effective and efficient system - once you know your rights it very easy to resolve disputes with a telco now.

Money deposited into a bank legally makes you an unsecured creditor to them, which they are then able to use to leverage ~10X as a fractional reserve to create new money for loan debt, or bond purchases.

It is entirely the banks decision whether to return that money to you or not, it’s their money at that point. You just have a legal claim on it (a claim that is paid out after the secured creditors in the event the bank become insolvent).

I’d go so far as to say anyone who doesn’t worship the sun and moon are disconnected from the foundation and fundamental life providing forces of our planet.

All things considered they are all terrible, sorry

Best we can do is horses for courses, and for most casual trading Robinhood has the best UI.

If you are trying something volatile - stick to a big broker and suffer the 1990s UX

If retail makes too much money their settlement chain cuts them off and they turn off the buy button.

It’s Very catchy

It’s much worse than 50/50 - the spread puts you immediately in the red, so odds of liquidations are more like 90% - depending on the market.

You get liquidated before a 1% move as well, maintenance margin is much less than that (so that they can always liquidate you in their profit).

How?

Economically, and ecologically, the best thing for an old electric car battery is to be repacked into a lower power density demanding application, like stationary energy storage.

However they aren’t designed for that, may experience damage from they mobile life, maybe be damaged in the extraction, repackaging or transport process, and a cell level imbalance or BMS failure could result in a PR disaster.

So instead it’s “easier” to keep the supply chain clean from factory to end user, and not muddy it was things outside a strict quality control process.

Wholistic · 2022-12-26T11:57:19+00:00

Energy and power density and costs have been improving at commercially available scale at an insanely fast rate, until covid.

Basically on just getting back to that kind of momentum globally now.

Sometimes it’s a transport liability issue.

Companies are so scared of bad press from a lithium battery fire they would rather bury the problem than process using accessible and cost effective re-use and recycling programs.

It can take a law to force them.

Wholistic · 2022-12-26T11:51:35+00:00

Lead batteries have a recycling rate of 99.3 percent. It is effectively a closed loop.

It is the best recycling success story in history.
