During my fever on Friday night I was convinced I was in an alternate reality, travelling the US via casino-trains.
(If I can remember it, in the dream, there was some pre-1920s judgment that said that gambling on a card game played on an interstate train was not subject to any state's regulation. Fast forward a century and the US had a highly developed rail network, but most passenger trains were also casinos.)
I feel as though I should illustrate the difference that this one single constraint can make by two examples.
The rules of Simon Says are maximally authoritarian. You must perform any action ordered, with the only restriction that the authority must say "Simon says" first. Were you forced to stay in this system, it would be the most despotic autocracy possible. But it's not. It's a silly game because you can leave at any time.
Let's flip this and imagine a room. During a specific period of time you will have absolute control over everything in this room. In this room you have total freedom. This is not even the limited freedom, the coordinated freedom, the compromising freedom of civil society. You could, without consequence, perform any action you wish in this room. You could say anything, destroy or steal any object, order any individual to perform any action, kill any person in the room with you and take anything they own. This is the sovereign freedom, the absolute freedom, of dictators and kings. The only restriction is that you are not allowed to leave the room while you have this freedom. In fact, you really only have this level of freedom because the room is actually empty other than for you. I am, of course, talking about a form of torture still common in the US: solitary confinement.

Australia just fired up its first solar-battery hybrid on the main grid—and it's a game-changer for evening power.

This is the model for clean energy's future: 20 similar projects just won government backing.

Abstract: Digital network failures stemming from instabilities in measurements of temporal order motivate attention to concurrent events. A century of attempts to resolve the instabilities have never eliminated them. Do concurrent events occur at indeterminate times, or are they better seen as events to which the very concept of temporal order cannot apply? Logical dependencies of messages propagating through digital networks can be represented by marked graphs on which tokens are moved in formal token games. However, available mathematical formulations of these token games invoke "markings"-- global snapshots of the locations of tokens on the graph. The formulation in terms of global snapshots is misleading, because distributed networks are never still: they exhibit concurrent events inexpressible by global snapshots. We reformulate token games used to represent digital networks so as to express concurrency. The trick is to replace global snapshots with "local snapshots." Detached from any central clock, a local snapshot records an action at a node during a play of a token game. Assemblages of local records define acyclic directed graphs that we call history graphs. We show how history graphs represent plays of token games with concurrent motions, and, importantly, how history graphs can represent the history of a network operating while undergoing unpredictable changes.

Home batteries are quietly becoming a game-changer for grid stability. As installations surge, utilities are tapping residential storage to manage peak demand during extreme weather—deferring costly upgrades while boosting resilience.
The key to scaling? Treat it like market development, not just tech deployment. Simple enrollment, risk-sharing models, and coordinated action between utilities and manufacturers can unlock massive participation.
