14kw is not often the same 14kwh the h stands for hour as in per hour.

I don't know what kind of house they are powering, but without natural gas or propane for the water header and furnace, 10kw isn't going to cut it for one home much less multiple homes. I use a 14kw generator on my house. It's capable of running my well water pump, 2 ton A/C, and incidental loads. It cannot run the hot water heater, 4 ton A/C, Oven, dryer, etc.
The number of competing companies in a market needed for free market prices likely depends on the barriers to enter said market.
AMD and Intel CPU market is relatively free of entry barriers.
Tim S.
3 party competition is enough for advances and price control. look at amd vs intel and how they keep each other growing and they are the only 2 major players.
You could paint it black to hide from amateur optical observers, but what kind of stealth could hide a large satellite in low orbit from other states with radar and infra-red observation?
It'd have to either hide on the moon, or in place of a known existing satellite that it swallows, with stealth making it look smaller.
But the chances of a $3bil project staying that secret from other states? Zero.
You wouldn't want to paint it black, it'd absorb huge amounts of radiation when in sunlight that would result in heating that would be difficult to manage.
PS. Not a satellite nor even a rocket scientist, so the above is conjecture only.
Yeah, painting it black will not good from collecting heat point of view (It would collect a lot of heat).
But, black would radiate the heat better than silver like most satellites.
And, that combination should make it easy to find using heat/infra-red detectors in space or on the ground.
Almost, have to have an shroud that flips between silver and black.
Silver for the side towards the Sun and black towards the Earth.
But, it would still likely be detectable by other satellites above it in orbit.

I was thinking something even worse; that Google sells the power to third party that then claims they are using clean power.
And, that company then sells to a forth party that can then claim they are using clean power. And it continues forever till the power line loses match the total of clean power.
Tim S.
So they're spending money on "clean" power they don't actually use (and apparently nobody actually uses) to somehow atone for "dirty" power they actually do use (and apparently also pay for). Who says environmentalism isn't a religion?
So, it is not clear if you support bringing back the Wooly Mammoth. The Wooly Mammoth is rumored to have been killed off by early humans in North America. Tim S.
If Man caused the extinction, then itâ(TM)s s moral duty to bring them back. If OTOH, they died from natural causes from nature, then probably not.
I read LLVM Project Blog; I think it said it was done partly for code maintenance issues.
As, in it should be faster to add patches for Windows using the same Compiler over all platforms.
So, we need to investigate the main stream media; since there were people in it supporting Trump and/or Sanders.
And, after the election they were stating things that align with the Russian goals of creating division in the USA.
Tim S.
By February 2016, the suspects had decided whom they were supporting in the 2016 race. According to the indictment, Internet Research Agency specialists were instructed to “use any opportunity to criticize Hillary and the rest (except Sanders and Trump — we support them).”
For the last 30-40 years popular media in the US has been promoting stupidity and turning dumb people into stars, making them famous, and in some cases rich.
I'm hoping that the pendulum has swung as far as it's going and will start to swing back the other way, but I'm probably foolish to think we've reached peak stoopid.
The officer fired a single shoot.
The officer likely fired accidentally because he used poor trigger control.
No other shoots were fired; therefore, the other police did not see reason to fire.
Even, the one officer that fired did not fire a second bullet.
This is a case of poor firearm training in the area of trigger control!
Why is it script kiddies instead of script monkeys?
Tim S.
The word also means a low-level worker. In Nelson's navy a powder monkey was a boy who would run down to the magazine to fetch ammunition. Today we have grease monkeys, code monkeys and editing monkeys.
Because that would be illegal I refer you to the (VRA) voting right act. Because about 50 percent of Democrats will not regularly vote for black candidates; the VRA require black districts to be drawn up with about plus 20 percent Democrats.
Tim S.
How is this not automated? Should just be a computer program that does "find the N points such that each point is the closest point to exactly P/N people."
That is, make a Voronoi diagram on population, not geometric distance.
No politics involved at all, but probably people wouldn't like it...
Do they really require the USPS to take over military pensions like I read in the past for prior military that get jobs at USPS?
Tim S.
Without subsidy the USPS will need to scale down massively, they can't compete in a free market environment.
The USPS is not subsidized by the US government/taxpayers. Their rates are set by the government, but they operate entirely on the funds that they generate directly.
Even then, they'll always run losses because the international treaties rapes every western postal service. If Trump wants to do something useful he should unilaterally get the US out of the treaty of Bern.
The USPS is profitable. The reported shortfall in their budget was due to congress passing a new requirement (which only applied to the USPS) that they pre-fund their retirement account fully within five years. Meaning that the full retirement package for every postal service employee is fully paid. If every employee retired now (even if they were just hired and thus are not eligible for retirement benefits...) the full amount of their retirement pension is covered.
It is not a bad thing, but it was done in such a way as to make the USPS look bad.
The world would be a better place without Facebook and Twitter. It would result in less outrage politics, less radicalization of loaners, less keeping up with Jonses, less depressed people, less echo chambers, safer roads, better sleep. If deleting Facebook and Twitter was a pill, we would all be taking it instead of vitamins.
So, is less radicalization of bankers a good or a bad thing?

Can these questions be answered in the affirmative for any advanced weapons system? Seems sort of an impossibly high bar they've set.

We've always been at war with Eurasia. Tim S.
Iran has never used nerve agent to assassinate someone and contaminate a British town.
They also haven't hacked our election systems, unlike Russia.
More importantly, they never bribed Moscow Donald to betray his own country.
Nuke it from orbit; it is the only way to be sure! Tim S.
