    Everyone focuses on nuclear power. Meanwhile China is building SimCity's microwave power plant. :p

    This. Bitcoin, for example, can only process as high as seven transactions per second. A server that mediates the actual transactions and the requested transactions is necessary from day one to have more than just a very small number of people actively using it.

    I believe it when I see it in action. Until then I'm pro nuclear :) Alos Sweden was a leading country on nuclear research before Chernobyl, after Chernobyl all research around nuclear was banned. We might have been closer to fusion if things went down different

    And then we have thousands nuclear weapon test explosions world wide.

    I would say it was Harrisburg and chernobyl that did it. ITER tocomac didn't get Swedish researcher because of above reason.

    Also research on modern gen nuclear could also have benefited. But nope, politics wins over reason.

    To be honest I don't know how that works, since Sweeden is in EU. And EU is member of ITER group.

    The ban was lifted in 2006. It was in effect between 1986 and 2006

    edit: ABB managed to work around it though since they been involved with the BWR 90+

    Actually, there are ways to trade items without game marketplaces. It's via another marketplace though, like dmarket, but still, the option is available. Anyways, it's not related to the original question. But the idea mentioned by TS is actually great. What I fear most though is a new way of earning money by renting your hardware will lead not only to the GPU shortage, but also to SSD, HDD, CPU, and other components. And no one would prefer this I guess. I long for 3090 at a decent price but my only options are burnt by miners cards or extremely overpriced ones. Which one is the lesser of two evils?
