I looked at the article below the one OP shared.

A trending article was about a restaurant owner in France that put a fine for people who don’t come with the same number of people as their reservation. Fascinating, such wow.

Link to the mentioned story:

I would say the link is bit more tenuous than you would present it. A Russian guy works for telegram with one of his businesses. Other businesses he owns are suspected of working with FSB.

To be sure, Telegram is most likely not very trustworthy but I thought that the fact they developed their own crypto would be suspicious enough so that people wouldn’t use it for sensitive information. Still it has not be confirmed that Telegram’s infrastructure is run by FSB.

I assume this is just a joke… Because with the relationship Telegram has with the Russian government this would be quite unlikely.

Perhaps it would have been smarter to prevent these predatory behaviors from social networks in the first place. Because it is probably constitutionally more sound to ban some behaviors rather than outright ban social networks altogether.

I’m sorry.

It all relates to the density of energy in fuel.

Fossil fuel is so energy dense you can get away with pretty much any way to distribute/dispense.

what infrastructure are you left with? Trucks?

Trucks and most importantly thousands of strategically located gas stations. Even if you distribute a different kind and less dense energy I would argue it still makes sense to have spread out stations all over the place.

If we want to keep using our existing roads and highways we will need those stations even if they distribute something entirely different.

The idea of shipping liquid fuel in trucks and dispensing it out of hoses at special fuel stores is just silly.

I don’t necessarily disagree with that but I hope you see that this type of infrastructure is exactly what we currently have and have proven to work.

It wouldn’t be that stupid to reuse an existing infrastructure that is already built. The issue with our current fuel infrastructure is that it is moving fossil fuel.
