I was just not understanding 'trade' grids as you seem to believe they exist. Traders set schedules and operations makes best efforts to follow. Operations balances the power on a link in real time, just as they have systems to do automatic generation control. The math is hairy, everybody knows that at the detail level, the grid is a chaotic system. Much as it looks scheduled at the hourly level.
There are times, when links are marginal that units are regulating the next region or three over. There is no reason that you can't. Traders just like to think all link flows are scheduled, tagged etc etc. What do you think happens when a big unit 'falls over'? All plans are in the crapper as the operations guys keep the lights on.
There are also units that physically exist in one region but are exclusively tied to the next region over. Usually this is the result of utilities gaming environmental regulations. (e.g. the both is and isn't a remaining coal fired plant in CA, depending on if you are talking about CA the state or CA the control area.)
Reality is also a little fuzzy on the distinction between generation/trading and distribution. Local cogen or small hydro for example was often small enough to generate at voltages you'd call distribution. To say nothing of rooftop PV (which is fair, they are so small, they just have to take the local utilities offer).
There is always a reconciliation process. Where 'as scheduled' is compared to 'as played out'. It's usually fairly friendly as the schedule is 99% accurate 99% of the time. Everybody involved has FERC (don't recall the Brit equivalent) rules hanging over them (e.g. 'take no actions that would compromise system stability').
For example: Makers of cheap Frog wine (vin Ordinair) went 'on strike' to protest that they were being put out of business by better cheap wine from overseas.
Think about that. Your product is crap, you customers prefer a cheaper better product. Do you: (Adopt the technology that is making cheap wine better OR Go on strike)? If you're frogish, strike it is.
He repressed them right up until his psychotic break on the road to Damascus.
Reading his letters, he clearly had deep psycho-sexual issues. I think he was molested as a child.
That said. He was the man who wrote 'if they will not work, they shall not eat' (para) the wisest words in that book of wishful thinking.

You realize that it won't be the government holding the doctor to task? It will be the medical boards and the hospitals review committees. Both of which are private.
Healthcare does not _have_ to be the governments business. You would prefer it that way is all.
You obviously don't get the 'limited government' thing, nor why it's important. Enjoy your tyranny.
Never heard of two grids. There is local distribution and 'the Grid'. Are you sure you aren't talking about the hour ahead markets simplified understanding vs what actually happens and the whole reconciliation process between those?
Power is always in instantaneous balance. So traded power is always being produced and used at the same 'instant'.
Bullshit. Those 'loopholes' were all passed deliberately.
In some cases smart people use the loopholes for purposes other then the social engineering they were originally intended for (unintended consequences). But the 'loophole' is a deduction/credit that was DELIBERATELY PUT INTO LAW.
You are using your own private definition of 'loophole'. All deductions are 'loopholes' to someone who doesn't like them.
So what? I still hold the ST-225 debacle against Seagate.
For those that don't remember: Seagate had a warehouse full of reject drives (failed testing), some genius listed them as good inventory for the SEC. Some other genius followed the first great decision by shipping them, thinking they would recognize the revenue and get their bonuses before the returns rolled in.
Bottom line they shipped 100% bad drives to the market for months. You could exchange forever and never find a good one.
He was definitely the richest man in the 20th century.
It's only when you get into shady history that questions arise. Rothschild, the pharaoh, the pope etc.
I attribute those old giant wealth stories to mythology. Technological progress and all. Still...Rothschild? By the time that got really huge it was a family, not an individual.
Mein Kampf was a very expensive book. He did make millions on that alone. But there was a time when every 'good German' HAD to have a copy. so it's not like that wasn't affected by the politics.

You realize the Mexican military has/had a cartel all its own? IIRC PRD has just finished, more or less, taking over their territory.

Strictly 'catch and release'...
Seriously? Do they send them to a neighboring school for the hard subjects?
The EU of France should be free to try blocking any site they want.
But there is no reason for Facebook to do it. Their money might not be green, but it converts to it just fine.
The login credentials where in reach of the warrant and the server allowed logins from America.
Seems pretty cut and dried. Their was a terminal that could get the data in reach of cops with guns and warrants.
If the data hadn't been available in the USA the case would be different on a practical level.
Sure they have local court cases that say they matter.
What does that matter? Seriously, I can start serving up Danish language pages tomorrow. What are they doing to do? Send the Danish army after me?
I can sell ads to anybody in the world from California (or anywhere else).
You don't have to operate in a country to serve up a web site in their country, in their language and to charge their business for ads.
Facebook might have made a mistake by incorporating in France. Easy to fix.
It certainly limits how obnoxious french laws can be before everybody just leaves (but continues doing business with individual frogs).
But if you target french customers, and do business with french business, but have your servers in the USA, than the frogs can suck it.
Until they leave and make the French customers buy their ads from a website hosted overseas.
Which has a cost. That cost is the maximum cost that French laws can impose on overseas companies.
And if the frogs get too obnoxious, out it comes and they can pound sand.
Easily solved by making Frog advertisers buy their Facebook ads in another country.
I suppose the frogs could go after the advertisers. But they really prefer to sue overseas companies.
The French sometimes strike for silly nonsense.
For example: Makers of cheap Frog wine (vin Ordinair) went 'on strike' to protest that they were being put out of business by better cheap wine from overseas.
Think about that. Your product is crap, you customers prefer a cheaper better product. Do you: (Adopt the technology that is making cheap wine better OR Go on strike)? If you're frogish, strike it is.

New testament, ovulating.
Count the years and keep your head down. We're back to god of wrath. Best just go fishing.
Sure it's nonsense. But there are no bad reasons for getting good and drunk and dancing naked around a fire in the woods.

No. It was about 1988-1990. ST-225s were 20 MB drives.
