For all of the above, current "flow" is a convenient description, but is inaccurate.
From one point to another, electrons push on each other down a conductor and the ripple effect cause force transmission.
A physical electron does not travel. It simply moves out and back.
The electron is on the valence, or outer band of an atom.
For DC, the ripple effect is circular where energy (not an electron) travels in one direction from the source, through resistance and back to the source.
For AC, the energy activity can best be described as "scintillation," where valence electrons vibrate (in close proximity to their own nuclei, as in DC) back and forth, causing energy to alternate in direction.
To Make America Great Again, we have to tap into the CEO and shareholder desire for asymptotic revenue stream at nanosecond growth rate and use that accumulation of wealth and give back to those at the source.
When money flows in one direction, we have something like Rome:
Even as Rome was under attack from outside forces, it was also crumbling from within thanks to a severe financial crisis. Constant wars and overspending had significantly lightened imperial coffers, and oppressive taxation and inflation had widened the gap between rich and poor. In the hope of avoiding the taxman, many members of the wealthy classes had even fled to the countryside and set up independent fiefdoms. At the same time, the empire was rocked by a labor deficit. Rome’s economy depended on slaves to till its fields and work as craftsmen, and its military might had traditionally provided a fresh influx of conquered peoples to put to work. But when expansion ground to a halt in the second century, Rome’s supply of slaves and other war treasures began to dry up. A further blow came in the fifth century, when the Vandals claimed North Africa and began disrupting the empire’s trade by prowling the Mediterranean as pirates. With its economy faltering and its commercial and agricultural production in decline, the Empire began to lose its grip on Europe.
... but the comments are garbage, so I'll just add to the landfill:
I watched the trilogy last year and it's a goddam fucked up waste of time.
The first movie was interesting.
The second went off on some tangential plot of vacuousness and the third didn't have many of the original characters and an impotent, wimpy, fizzle of an ending.
I don't really care who got what out of the LOTR deal because I only think of myself and I didn't get shit.

OK, I guess.
This is in my wheelhouse.

Yeah.
I'm 71 years old and an eye witness.

Reading between the lines, as your sig suggests, I think you're pulling my leg.
Hey, I down with it.
... the path to grokking this is to chase the money.
Obviously, this is a business move for Microsoft.
"Millions of dollars," is a negligible amount, compared to the order of magnitude of Microsoft's disposable income, which is in the billions.
So, what I'm getting from this is that Microsoft does not want the source of PSE power, but it does want to use PSE's transmission lines .
That's what Microsoft is paying for: the use of infrastructure to deliver alternative sources of power.
There's probably something I'm missing because Microsoft makes moves that benefit their bottom line.
There is no way in fucking hell that Microsoft is doing anything for the betterment of any entity other than itself.
The electrons never reach anyone, regardless of whether it's AC or DC.
At the source, an electron transfer in the valence band of an atom affects the valence band of a nearby atom.
And so the chain goes.
It's more a matter of pressure transfer than actual flow.
No electrons propagate from the source to the destination. Only the force is transmitted.
This is true at radio frequencies as well, including WiFi charging (or communications).
I agree with you and would like to append another important parameter: money.
Higher education has been corporatized and has attracted the loan shark industry.
Capitalism has evolved, predictably, to be the dominant predator on the planet.
Smart people know the difference between bullshit and wild honey.
Under-educated people have few personal resources at hand for making critical, informed decisions.
They look to their role models to fill in that void.
Sadly, asshats like Rick Perry, the pussy grabber, and Ben Carson (the pyramids stored grain) and Fox News are their go-to sources of information.
Right now, the American leaders have the needle pegged full right.
I predict that the trend is permanent.
Ahead of us is isolationism, paranoia, tariffs, and the sinking of America on the world stage.
What once was a source of pride is a whole country that looks like Detroit.
So you just self-identified as a member of the under-educated group, right?
... the list.

Moreover, the problem gets worse the more cores you have.

I don't tell people I use Edge.

By that time, people will be discussing today's encryption right after the giggles subside regarding punch cards.

We're not too good at this. lol
My remarks are directed to Zucky.
He's using Alaska as an example of "basic income," when, basically, the basis population has an issue.
Bullshit.
Education is a nerdy matter.
Your remark is directed to Zucky. From TFS:
Mark Zuckerberg praised the Alaska Permanent Fund and used it as another platform to lobby for universal basic income ...
Indigenous people are, basically, people.
... in the ass with Melania Tramp's strap-on, but CNN is a piece of shit for threatening to dox the guy.
The creator of the gif should sue CNN for lack of humour.
... oh, wait.
Freeman says, many homeless people come to Anchorage from a village for one reason or another, and get stuck here.
Around 70 percent of the 700 or so homeless people surveyed say they’re Alaska Native. Many are from rural villages.
... thanks for asking.
... infected the testing algorithms and caused Photobucket to cut linking services unless members pay a $400 ransome.
... after a standard is established whereby the speakers are not proprietary to a single channel.
Until then, the market share will resemble Facebook vs Google+, where Amazon will be the dominate player.
