More power to Jerboa, but I think the progressive web app works just great, and of course already has the preview feature.

Microsoft continuing the tradition of alternating good and bad releases of the OS.

Reminds me a lot of Google Glass, which was a failure, and it was considered too unnerving while being much less intrusive.

If it does flop, I’d be curious if they’re not concerned about it hurting their brand then they lost money. I don’t follow apple very closely, but I don’t remember the last really failed product

Interesting, mine is 60+ characters and was fine. Might be a 64 limit

Yeah, might be. I’d be curious how the transfer efficiency compares between sending microwaves from space through clouds and terrestrial power transfer from a site miles away with different weather. My gut is that the terrestrial solar wins, but it’s not my area

I’m pretty skeptical of this as well. The linked Nikkei article explains how it helps for clouds, since Microwaves pass through, but I don’t understand how it helps for the time of day. If the satellite is facing the sun and trying to send a microwave to an area away from the sun, it’d need to pass through the earth itself or relay around other satellites (in which case I’d assume a mirror of sunlight is far more efficient).

There was also the suggestion of it being useful to deliver power to war torn or remote regions, and they wouldn’t need any terrestrial power transmission. But… they’d still need a receiver, in which case they’re likely better off just having their own terrestrial solar panel. This feels a bit like a solution in search of a problem.
