If the power goes out there will be no signalling on the tracks, no barriers or traffic lights at level crossings, no lights or announcements at train stations, etc.

Even though a diesel locomotive technically could run with no external power, no regular train will be operating during a general power outage.

Same goes for an EMP, even though that would likely fry the diesel locos control systems anyways

I was asking myself, how much money do you need to have, to be in the top 1%?

So for context, according to this article, you are in the top 1% worldwide, if your net worth is above ~872'000.-, that is 19 million US Americans.

With 94'000.- you are in the top 10%

In Switzerland we basically had ISP monopolies back in the day on cable (DOCSIS) and on the phone (xDSL) networks. Prices were ok, but not low. Then fiber optic as a viable tech came around, but neither of the large ISP was particularly eager to build out a fiber infrastructure, as it was more lucrative to just sit on their "old" tech, knowing the ohter party won't be building fiber, so won't have a better offer either

So what happend then was that munincipalities built their own fiber networks, renting them out to the ISPs, large and small ones, either as an IP service or as dark fiber for ISPs which want to provide their own equipent. Only the largest ISP still builds their own fiber infrastructure, in parallel, and they are required by law to rent out that infrastructure to other ISPs as well.

This has really leveled the playing field, brought good competition and lowered the prices.

So I think government owned infrastructure is the way to go, but it takes a long time to build out and needs the right policies and legal framework to succeed.

Larry Ellisons Oracle gobbled up many great companies and open source projects and sucked the life out of them, such as Sun Microsystems, OpenOffice, MySQL to name just a few

Nice!

Though if they were double sided, there is no way we can see all these cards in the same shot. If it starts at odd numbers (i.e. #1), #3 and #4 would share the same card front and back, if it starts even (i.e. a cover graphic and #1 on the same card), #4 and #5 should share the same card front and back.

There's a big difference between being sponsored by the very product you are reviewing in this specific video, and being sponsored by something unrelated while being openly and obviously presented as sponsored content.

By not ratio-ing them on their age?

Alternatively when creating the ventoy installation you can chose to leave X amount of space behind the ventoy partition and then create your own data partition there afterwards. You lose the advantage of "dynamically" sharing the available space between ventoy and your data, but with the seperqte partition you can use whatever filesystem you like for your data, and there is a clear seperation between ventoy and your other data.

I think there are a lot of ways this is technologically solvable. Imho this is an economic challenge, not a technological one.

Not so much my style, I like the more ... idk "epic" sounding stuff better.

Still, thanks for the recommendations, I appreciate it!

That's cool, thanks! Immediately reminds me of the Homeworld intro scene.

Wow so many suggestions, I did not expect that. You all are amazing, what a great community! Thanks, I know what I'll be doing tomorrow 🎧

Right, didn't think of that :)
