Growing cattle is hardly required for survival. Veganists have been surviving without it for years. Now I am not saying the first self sustaining Martian colonists should be veganists, but all meat and animal products should come from small livestock. Chickens for example, require only little space (even free range ones. The ones that have so much space that they don't even use half of it.).
Hardly. What you wanted may have been there, but add revenue has allowed the internet to expand to many times that size. It now includes more stuff most people want to see. The sites that don't have ads are running at a loss (sometimes that's worth it), have other means of revenue and/or have low traffic.
Most of the stuff that would be there without ad revenue doesn't have ad revenue now either. For example Open Source stuff, info sites by manufacturers and programmers and webshops. However if you want a reliable review site then that site needs to pay for their datacenter space & electricity & food for the reviewers. That costs money. No ads, no paywall? How are they going to raise that money? Bribes from companies for good reviews? Do you really want to go there? No real reviewers but user generated reviews? Easy to get fake reviews.
Sorry, that should have been "GW scale powerconversion". TW scale in a single location is technically possible but not done as of yet. For scale: the average power consumption over 2010 was approximately 17 TW.
There is such a thing as TW scale powerconversion. You just need to order it. Most long distance runs are HVDV because that has lower losses. The same equipment can be used to convert from 50 Hz to DC to 60 Hz and back. The reason this was a problem during the Fukishima disaster is that there was no time to make it. Not that it was not possible to make it.
Caps are getting more common in the US. One of the biggest national ISPs, Comcast, has been rolling them out city by city. So far still not in most of the country, but they've been rolled out as a "trial" in Atlanta, Memphis, Tucson, etc., and will probably be extended nationally. Here's their FAQ about it.
5 GB? Please tell me that that is a mobile account!
Now split that 1Gbps over 100 devices in an office building. Not so fast anymore, is it? Not that I think this light based stuff is the answer. I think the answer was tested with the spatial streams in wireless AC. We just need more than 8 streams and higher carrier frequency so we can tune those streams better. We may end up with technology close to phased array radar.
I currently have some problems with wifi through thick concrete walls (bottom of a 15 story building). Your gamma wifi would probably solve that quite nicely.
Lawnmowers are hardly as nice as genocide. They are tools of mass torture that leave the victim alive for as long as possible, drawing out the torture for as long as possible.
First: Iceland uses "only" 4 times as much per capita as the US. Second: It does not filter out industrial use of electricity. Iceland has a couple of huge aluminium factories, using 1/4th of the nation's electricity. Third: I have no clue for the rest. Probably a lot of electrical heating because it gets cold in the winter.
The ones that can understand the use of English instead of their respective native language certainly won't be bothered with the archaic distance measurement.
Iceland has plenty of reliable and renewable geothermal energy. Everything they can do electrically they will do electrically. In CO2 per capita they are far lower than the US average.
Where I live it also get dark at 17:00 in winter. However, there are people with split rate meters that count night usage different from day usage. Night usage is cheaper.
Why? Almost everybody heats with natural gas. More than half cook with natural gas. Don't use electricity for the work that natural gas can do. Low entropy energy is expensive.
That really depends on your efficiency. Small scale is often more expensive. If a 10 kWh system costs $10K while a 100kWh system costs $70K then the country as a whole would be better off with 100kWh systems.
One of the problems with digging tunnels in a city is that it causes the ground to settle. Even with modern systems that have only little vibration and only little risk of caving in between the drill head and the tunnel wall. If the ground drops even 10 cm on one side of a building, what do you think happens with it?
I want somewhere I can pick up my parcel at a time convenient to me. Luckily we have that here in the Netherlands. I can have the packet send to my supermarket and then I can go get it with my next shopping trip. No need to stay at home for a simple delivery. Sadly Amazon doesn't work with it yet so I have to have that send to my work address.
Digging tunnels under cities is expensive. I won't say it's a bad plan, quite on the contrary, but it'll be expensive to get the tunnels in place. I would love to see it work, motor vehicles in inner cities is a bad plan and this would make it possible to eliminate trucks from the inner city. After that making the roads bike and walk only is just a small step.
Never is almost always wrong. For example, the wiki page on lenses. I think it is quite clear. It offers examples, formulas and the way of thinking when calculating a lens. Do you feel that that is jargonated? Is the notation obscure?

Luckily I live on the other side of the planet so I can die slowly from starvation.

It's either paywall, adds or a mostly empty internet.
Having said that: I block adds to block malware, because add networks seem to be too stupid to check what they serve for malware.

But not with consumer RAID controllers. There you'll saturate the RAID controller instead of the 10 GbE.

Yes there is. Increased electricity usage = increased CO2 emissions = increased greenhouse effect. Price is a good incentive to curb usage.

Hardly. PO boxes require having a PO box. That costs money. This in included in the cost of delivery (it's cheaper for the postal company).

Technical subjects usually have quite clear and correct wikipedia pages. As soon as politics enter it wikipedia is not reliable.
Add an RGB LED, add wireless power, sell em for 10K per buck and stick em on the wall as a screen.
