What if your entire neighbourhood produces a surplus ? If solar panels are good for me, they are also good for my neighbour. And when the sun is hitting mine, it's very likely also hitting theirs.
In places where there's not a lot of money, teachers are cheap too. Probably cheaper than a computer. And you don't need high degrees to teach somebody how to read and write or do basic math. Basically, if you can do it, you can teach somebody else.
If you have dynamic market prices for electricity that vary throughout the day, there will be incentive for people to store their solar power in the middle of the day, and sell it in the evening. Or somebody could even buy the surplus power when it's cheap, and sell it back when it's expensive.
I don't have a solar, but my electric bill is itemized and contains a transport cost item. It makes sense that in case of solar, you pay transport cost both ways.
In other words, a poorly written article. Plenty of pictures, but not a single one showing a daytime sky with some clouds, a quarter moon, and an accurate representation of what the nova would look like in comparison.
No, that's not how it works. The mother and fetus have different blood circulations. They meet in the placenta, but they are always separated by membranes that selectively filter all the substances. The mother and fetus often have incompatible blood types, so it would be deadly to mix those.
The mother is breaking down the proteins into amino acids first. Our bodies don't use foreign proteins from our food directly. Everything gets broken down into amino acids, and then resynthesized as our own proteins.
Honey is very close to pure sugar, anyway. It provides energy, but not a lot of building materials for the infant body. There's no good reason to feed it to infants.
Just browsing some of the Mechanical Turk challenges, it looks like a very hard way to make a few pennies. It would be much smarter to just get a regular job.

Figure out what the real transport cost is, and split it between the consumers and producers. It's not that hard to come up with a fair system.

charging them by the KWh is an unnecessary disincentive to participate
As long as it's a realistic charge, I don't see the problem. If there's very little loss, and the neighbour wants the power, the charge can be small.
A lot of this is the cost of having a monopoly
Where I live, there's no monopoly. There are plenty of power companies to choose from.
Why can't the kids learn basic reading, writing and arithmetic from regular teachers ?
Time to hit them repeatedly with a clue stick.

Use some sort of market rate. If there's a lot of supply, but not a lot of demand at a given moment, the price drops.
I'm still waiting for my package to arrive by 3D printed truck.
We can do 3D printing on a truck using a computer.
Did the voters really have a choice?
No, it was in the stars.
For instance your laptop should not let me unlock your desktop session should it?
If I told you the password, why not ?

It would be about as bright as a quarter moon.
Yes, so nothing special. 90% of the people wouldn't even notice, unless it was pointed out to them.
but for the most part, the developed world is going to weather any "total collapse".
How about the millions of people in Africa that are trying to get to Europe ? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...
A long winded article where the crucial information "a little brighter" is hidden between 2 pages of fluff.

If that's all it is, then there's not much of a problem. People can just order one of the other CNC machines.

It would need agreement from John Conner.
And if she'd eaten them when you were in the womb, you'd have had her contaminated blood
Can peanut proteins really pass through the placental barrier ?
You can't refute averages by a single counter example.
