It's still going to be a fair investment and you end up with needing a wart on the end anyway. All you save is a small transformer and a cap or two on the appliance end.
What does make sense is if devices can standardize on 5VDC, power several from a powered USB hub with a single better quality power supply that has a standard zip cord and NEMA plug. It's backward compatible with the wiring already in every home and dowsn't waste hardware on rooms that have no DC powered devices.
That is what is claimed. A reduction in violent thought.
Stimulating more activity in the part of the brain that plans the future and evaluates consequences of actions. That is, If I rob the bank I might get shot or arrested. People with damage in that area tend to be violent, impulsive, and overly emotional.
It's one thing to be skeptical of it's efficacy, but even here I see people unwilling or unable to to let go of punitive "justice" even if it works as advertised.
Just keep whacking them turds! They're bound to disappear eventually! The safe assumption is that we have waste now and we will be producing more. We can either most likely have less waste or we can do nothing and definitely have more. Somehow I don't think just praying the cancer away is going to work as a medical policy. And it sure won't sterilize things as well as C60.
If the tDCS actually makes people not re-offend, then the problem is solved. At that point, prison is like curing the infection and then amputating anyway to deter others who might otherwise get an infection.
No, now you're whacking nails (and your thumb) with a pipe wrench. (Slaps the back of your head), use the right tool for the job at hand man!
Looking at things from a basis in reality, we have nuclear waste right now. We will have less waste if we re-process it. Even if we shut down every single reactor right now, we will have nuclear waste. Even if we magic all the waste away, we will want to keep a few reactors around to produce radioactive elements needed for everything from smoke detectors to cancer treatments. And that means we will have new nuclear waste. We can do something about it or stand in poop water splashing turds on ourselves.
That's TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), not ECT. In ECT they fit electrodes to your head, then give you a paralytic and trigger a strong seizure. Once the seizure is exhausted, the patient is put on oxygen and monitored until consciousness returns.
Actually, that process isn't horribly expensive. You're thinking of the process that removes the actinides as well. That is on;y necessary if you were hoping to use the reactor to produce plutonium suitable for a bomb.
As for the rest, I know how much you enjoy using your hammer, but when the plumbing needs work, it probably makes more sense to try a pipe wrench than to stand in a pool of poop water whacking random things as they float by.
If you think right of way is hard now, try doing it without government, that is, by negotiating individually with each and every property owner in the area you intend to serve.
If the markets ran on a 5 or 10 second quantum, anyone could do the same thing at a tiny fraction of the price. The HSTs don't want that because they prefer the protection offered by the high initial investment required.
It's a "service" sort of like convincing the street sweepers to skip the road in front of your auto shop (and the new construction across the street) so you can fix the inevitable flat tires.
Why do you think they're willing to spend megabucks to shave off fractions of a microsecond?
Nope yourself. Front running is when they speculatively buy and then cancel before it can go through if they can't find a buyer. This is the closely related but currently legal practice of finding a buyer and a seller and jumping between them using their faster system colocated in the same place as the exchange itself.
HSTs don't hold stock. They don't offer liquidity. They don't "make" the market. They DO drive up costs and skim off the top.
By "longer", you mean up to 1 second. By "best price", you mean best price offered in that 0.1 ms. Wait another few ms and you'll see the better offer that the HST has already seen and started accepting,
You and that other party can both come out ahead if the HST isn't there and you wait a whole second.
Put the cool aid down. There is no need to store the waste for millennia. Separate out the 95% mixed actinides (AKA perfectly good fuel) and store the 5% actual waste for 250-500 years (depending on how paranoid you want to be).
If the HSTs can buy from A and sell to B, the market already exists with or without them. Why not just A sell to B and they split the difference rather than giving it away?
Perhaps it's time for the new market makers to go.

Probably not since he doesn't believe in tossing regulations just because they're regulations and he believes there are needed services.

You'd lose that bet. You'd need wires the size of small tree trunks to keep the resistive losses under control.
HERESY! That would cost an extra $0,05!

If this simple treatment is actually effective, none of the people in prison will be violent anymore.
Kinda like if you cure the infection, amputation is no longer medically warranted.

Bernie had plenty of support, it's just that the DNC decided it was Hillary's turn, so he was out. Personally I voted Green Party as a response.
I'm pretty sure we were talking about within the U.S. But go ahead, rip those goalposts out of the ground and move them to a whole other country.

Thank you for proving my point.

Of course, based on the "success" rate, prison isn't effective either.
My suspicion if the tDCS proves out is that we'll have tough on crime politicians trying to either ban it or insisting on prison as well.

And they wonder why they're not objects of respect and trust...
Well there was that time the FBI was "CERTAIN" that the Kingsmen were encoding a communist agenda into "Louie Louie" (No, I'm not kidding!).

The HSTs are a net loss to the economy.

In other words, these "market makers" are just skimming and not so important at all.
As for liquidity, HSTs only buy is someone else is buying, no liquidity added.
Why add complexity?
If the HSTs can buy from A and sell to B, the market already exists with or without them. Why not just A sell to B and they split the difference rather than giving it away?
Perhaps it's time for the new market makers to go.
