You don't even need to complete the ring so that you can start with a lot bigger radius. The larger the radius the less the weird gyroscopic effects when people turn their heads in certain directions and the closer it replicates earth's gravity. Then you can expand the ring by increasing the arc coverage.

The best explanations I've heard is that these theores are not mutually exclusive. They can all be true at the same time and merely describe the physics from a different angle.

Yachts don't rely on solar. Sometimes they have solar but only as a small auxilary system. They primarily rely on propeller regen where the prop flips into drag mode stealing a fraction of a knot from the sail-driven ship. I've seen some yacht owners try to install a small wind turbine but it's not worth the trouble because of the noise it creates. They also tend to have at least one gas generator as an emergency backup.

I watched it in 4K on a large 43" 4K Samsung from 2 feet away and I can see a lot of problems. Some of it is compression artifacts but some is the iPhone. Honestly it doesn't look that much better than my 2014 OnePlus One phone with 4K camera.

I really hate the pitch and all these photog pros showing you how you can shoot movies or professional photos with a phone. They either use daylight which is 1000 times brighter than indoor or they use $10,000 of pro lighting. In that situation, any camera will work great. But wait till sunset or try and do some indoor shots and the tiny phone sensor and/or try and shoot some fast moving subjects that require decent shutter speeds and the phone will fail miserably.

The whole point in using a higher end $1000+ camera is that you can use it in 50% to 80% of lighting and motion conditions that a phone sucks in.

It was frustrating how my Dell XPS Laptop would frequently wake up in the laptop bag. When I open the bag, the laptop was near smoking hot. I fixed it by disabling Modern Standby but a Microsoft update killed that registry hack and I was forced to fully shut down the laptop.

Then my work Dell Precision 5530 started doing the same thing and I'm forced to shut it down. The problem was that particular laptop took several minutes to boot due to a slow BIOS post and corporate bloatware.
