Japanese auction sites work this way too.

If you make that big of a decision at the dinner table without excel, it implies that you make the decision without doing the math, which implies you are stupid.

Hater.

Trying to make them look interesting is a bad idea, tried numerous times in the past. The best a designer can do is to make them disappear and not draw your eye. Trying to make them look interesting generally isn't the way to go. It's been tried and abandoned in California and numerous other places. I'd add some citations, but most writing about transmission lines is internal to the companies building and maintaining them. You can't make them into a beautiful sculpture because you ultimately need their utility of supporting the conductors, and that hardware is difficult to make aesthetically pleasing.

No it doesn't make sense. Transmission lines should be a boring as possible so you're eye is not drawn to them. There is no way to make them look beautiful. Good designers try to make them disappear to the extent possible.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Quite a lot of public art is not regarded as beautiful by everyone either and is certainly not regarded as worth paying for by even more people.

It's also cultural. One of the things that struck me when I visited the US (many times over a twenty year period) was how little public art there was compared to most places in Europe.

I live in Asia and I'm in charge of air conditioning at my company. A ductless A/c is approximately $1,200 installed. $20k? You should put a split unit in each room. If one breaks, go sleep in the other room. I have 6 of them installed in my apartment.

The $20k quote was for two ductless units, with two heads each, which would just cover the bedrooms in my home.

Quite the racket here in the US. They’re still a luxury product.

Go check if insider trading on either of these markets is even against the law. The SEC makes laws for equities markets, not online gambling.

The best part about the crypto market is that it's completely unregulated. No centralized governing authority means none of the protections that are typically afforded to equities exist. HFT quickly jumped on the opportunity and now makes a killing on it, us included. Plus with every consumer trading app now enabling crypto trading, the number of suckers in the overall pool has been significantly expanded.

Me still....

The only thing new here is running them continuously. They were typically on standby for peak shaving or to avoid rolling blackouts during high peak loads or unanticipated contingencies. I operate 15 "747 engines" to produce electricity. They were installed in 1995.

He has the key written on a piece of paper in his wallet. The US government has his wallet. And his Bitcoin.

So he was effectively carrying $15B in his wallet? That's insane. I don't even carry more than $100 cash.
