If a developer of a 300 million dollar project can’t afford $5000 to get in line for $30-$50k study to determine the requirements for a 1-50 million dollar interconnection, odds are that developer’s project is going nowhere with them anyway
Regardless of whether it's designed to shorten the game, it lengthens it significantly. Monopoly only ends when enough money leaves the economy. With the free parking lottery a LOT less money leaves the economy, leading to extended play time.
> Monopoly only ends when enough money leaves the economy.
Not true. Monopoly ends when one player can take money from others faster than they can accumulate it. There can still be net money into the players, just not net money in to most of the players.
I would disagree that 31K is not a lot of money, but then again, maybe it is not a lot of money and my opinion is warped. I think if the government took a few points off for performance as a preferred return on the massive endowments, all of this would go away.
it's $8k a year. that wouldn't even cover rent for a school year at this point.
i think a lot of people seem to believe that the federal government is handing out $50k+ a school year when theres a very small limit. people who need to borrow likely have to tap private lenders.
Please stop. You’re completely misinformed here on how much is available for students to loan. I know multiple people that took out massive PLUS loans from the government that carry interest, are not discharged in bankruptcy, and far exceeded the limits you are talking about ($70k a year for grad schools).
Yes, actors and actions. It's the crux of the use case. I'm still operating under the assumption that UML invented the modern use case. I will not be googling this next.
Love how half his face and such are covered by legal blurbs you need to 'accept'. Call me cynical John, but unless you are ready and willing to explain technically why Meta has dropped the value of so many funds and retirement plans, and also the ball so hard on VR, AR, and come clean about the metaverse being a total marketing ploy to manipulate more money out of the gullible hordes to sell ads: Don't bother.
Virtual billboards anyone? Really, John. Do us a favor and tell the truth about your technology and the goals of your bland, non-relatable team that makes you fill out a W9. I mean, spying on citizens, being a blight on society, contributing to child suicides, playing both sides of the publish or perish card, et al.
You are the chief TECHNOLOGY officer above all (contractor or not), right? I am not sure you will reply, but I hope you read this and focus on the technology. It would be nice to publish your slides before the 'unscripted' talk.
