What about the power wall for utilities. I haven't heard of any other similar offerings. That seems even more important than the home based ones. Plus open sourcing designs to the gigafactory. Hey Branson want to step up and build one

Correct me if I'm wrong but are not hydrogen and helium two of the most abundant elements in the galaxy? If we ever were to let it all float into outer space (if that's even possible) by then couldn't we just harvest it in sp

To anybody reading this article, While Dr. Spencer does have real credentials, he is a know denier. I'm not saying that makes him necessarily wrong, but he is extremely biased in his views, and often publish research to back up those

This is an excerpt (modified to fit a blog post) from the book I'm currently writing on Python web development with Django. Would love to get feedback from people. Is it useful? Does it cover the topic well? Thanks. j1z0

I don't entirely agree. I see your point, but let's not make perfection the enemy of progress. The more vendors that take bitcoin, regardless of what they do with it after they receive it, the more viable the currency is. &quo
