Not publicly accessible, could you fix permissions?

The big question is what do these sell for? Cost dictates how broadly these can be used.

The core obstacle is financing - solar traditionally takes a long time to pay back from energy savings, so the financials of solar on warehouses didn't work out. The IRA made it possible to sell the tax credits from solar deployment on warehouse roofs (e.g. https://www.reunioninfra.com/) so now solar on warehouse rooftops can make financial sense in many more instances.

Nathan Myrvold demo'd this at TED 2010. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwyMuwNYKvI

Safety is a blocking issue last I heard - something powerful enough to zap a bug can also permanently blind a retina.

Children; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. They no longer rise when elders enter the room, they contradict their parents and tyrannize their teachers. Children are now tyrants!

What does something like this cost, and then what's it's all-up install cost? IE trying to get to a $/kWh figure.

There's no cheaper electricity source then renewables, by a long shot. Why bother with nuclear?

Access to the infrastructure is pretty easy - e.g. a WiFi Pineapple is $99. https://shop.hak5.org/products/wifi-pineapple

There is no absolute protection against compromise, but it would be polite for every web site to implement https and hsts to at least make it harder for visitors to be compromised. It costs them very little.

Maybe the analogy is soap in the bathroom at a coffee shop - most customers will not get cholera if the soap is missing, but is it moral for the shop owners to take the risk when the cost is so low and the downside is so high?

Practically, you don't do a cert for your site, you do it to protect visitors to your site getting compromised by a MITM attack.

A site without a cert is basically telling its users "I don't care about you."
