Second that, if i'm not mistaking, there is a guy running his 4000 $ monthly biz running on the free tier... Can't remember which biz or where i saw it though.
It was just API calls if i'm not mistaking and he wrote a post where he slimmed his app so it could fit in the free tier again.
Wait, my back of the envelope says you'll need to pull down around 650mb a second to stream 4K. That's uncompressed, sure, but anything in that power of ten isn't feasible.
I can't wait until code is no longer seen as this mechanical and mysterious thing. Stuff like this will no longer need to be explicitly be "Art with Code", instead it can just be "Art made by describing it"
Yes I was the previous owner of popcorn-team, but for some reason the other owner kicked everyone before closing the repo and the website. popcorn-org and popcorn-time.tv are the new project I maintain.
Good on them. In reality, however, fuel from the sun is free and we have unlimited land. Getting the cost down and economies of scale are what everyone is really focussed on.
From a policy perspecive, land is probably one of the biggest factors limiting large-scale PV installations in the U.S.
Basically, every square meter of land in the U.S. is already being used for something that people will defend, even if it is sparse desert land. Sparse desert land is a natural ecosystem, and there are many people and nonprofits who work hard to protect natural ecosystems from disruption by man.
You guys might be one of the few countries with effectively unlimited land. But remember the power has to get from where it's generated to where it's needed.
