i've maintained that if i was obama, post-presidency, I'd have founded a competitor to the NBA with players as owners.

US professional sports are really useful because they constitute one of the most "vulgar" capitalist scenarios imaginable: workers very transparently create *all* the value in these leagues where ownership very transparently does *nothing* but control the means of production

"no sleep til brooklyn" is a dumb song cuz those dudes were like 20 minutes away from brooklyn that whole time.... did the beastie boys have narcolepsy? even if they were walking from the farthest part of manhattan , at 20mins/mile, the trip only would have taken 5 hours

@LesleyABR @OunkaOnX did the Bengalis build NYC?

@RedPandaKoala 2/?
bc that would allow ppl to connect dots, and try to thwart them. It'd also prevent those scientists from leaving any relevant work for others to build on.
We wouldn't know who they're killing; because they'd be killed before they accomplished anything.

@RedPandaKoala 1/?
Not a very plausible scenario for a pretty obvious reason:
Presumably the time-traveling "greys" know who they want to "ice" before they travel back in time.
If they want to ensure their mission isn't discovered, they wouldn't ice the scientists after they're scientists...

@shanaka86 US could still nuke BTC entirely by declaring every BTC transaction a suspected transaction with Iran (since 5% of BTC is mined by Iran, there's a 5% chance any time you buy/sell BTC you are transacting with Iran);

If I was in OFAC that's what I would recommend.

@tejalshah1969 @ReallyG @shanaka86 they know that gold's gone.
russian elite will move it beyond RU grip.
the price of the trade: nominally imposing capital controls while implicitly furnishing a mechanism for capital relocation by wealthy elite to hedge against RU instability.

@rSl95H5SAI12871 @ThomasBeyer @IconRepulsive @anishmoonka We might be talking different projects too.
This ^ is Phase I.
Phase II has a claimed LCOE of $0.08/KWh, or $80/MWh.
Last year in the US, the average LCOE for solar PV projects was $66/MWh
It's borderline competitive but really only with FIT (feed in tariff) aka govt subsidy

[secret name @KingProle]

@rSl95H5SAI12871 @ThomasBeyer @IconRepulsive @anishmoonka you are mistaken, your units don't match - i'm talking MWh and you talk KWh.
Levelized Cost of Electricity at Dunhuang is .83 yuan/KWh, or 830 yuan/ MWh, which is about $120, and why the government set the feed in tariff at $170 to cover contingencies and ensure profitability.

[secret name @KingProle]

@ThomasBeyer @IconRepulsive @anishmoonka following up:
China set a feed-in tariff for this specific project at $170 per MWh.
they're trying to wean off coal. china gets 55% of its electricity from coal. US is 15%.
also US deploys cost effective solutions bc mkt comp.
China's grid is state owned, consumers no choice

[secret name @KingProle]

@ThomasBeyer @IconRepulsive @anishmoonka gov't subsidies.
advances in pv efficiency and battery storage make these unviable economically.
Ivanpah (project in CA; the largest concentrated solar array at time of completion) costs about $180 per MWh generated. PV: $30-40.
these plants also incinerate birds and insects
