But, it doesn't change much, really.
Folks need to move on from charge rate fetish or go deeper.
My >5 year old Tesla does 250kW, this says 1000kW
But - you dont actually charge 4x faster at 1 MW. Nor do you want to.
250kW doesn't charge 2.5 faster than 100kW either, in my experience.
This is because this is the limit, not the average. And the averages are slower for many reasons. Including you dont want to slam energy into your very expensive battery that much faster than you take it out, it will wear it out.
And you know what? 100kW is good enough to charge over a meal or store visit. Packs are usually less than 100 kWh, and sessions are <<100%. And plugging in longer at level 2 / 11kW is better for the battery and grid if you're in no hurry.
This seems like the most relevant fact that most folks dont know. Games industry is WAY bigger than streaming. Digital media companies know this, and want to get a piece of the market.
• In 2022, the global gaming industry generated an estimated $184.4 billion.
• In 2022, the global recorded music industry generated $26.2 billion.
• In 2022, the global movie industry generated $26 billion in box office revenue.
This is the issue with how this whole thing is framed.
Of course the university doesn't owe grad students anything besides an education.
But, being a grad student need not involve any teaching or professor research support. That's labor. It's customary labor that may be exchanged for education, but it is indeed an exchange of value for labor and subject to everything that entails.
Source: got a real grad degree without any of that BS just paid tuition (partially via my employers tuition reimbursement:)
Lobotomy, electroshock and castration are historic treatments for various extreme mental disorders that were, probably mistakenly, considered necessary evils lacking other treatments.
These days prozac, benzos and lithium fall into a similar category.
