There are various service which offer a 'virtual' address with digital forwarding of letters for less than 10Eur/Month, so it's not an insurmountable obstacle.
That’s not a concern with typical GPU workloads, which are batch/throughput-oriented.
One of the reasons why inference providers sell batch discounts.
Way better utilization of expensive hardware as well ofc.
So using electricity for heating would be just throwing free heat away. Heat distribution networks are of course not free though.
Electric heating would be an economical win if the electricity could be harvested by solar and wind generators, and stored. Storing solar heat directly is much trickier.
How does that compare to traditional solar cells?
Article doesn't talk about efficiencies but it seems production perovskite modules are slightly lower than their silicon counterparts, which will affect downstream costs like land or mounting hardware a bit.
They actually don't. Everything from dating and fitness to manufacturing and politics is in decline in activities, and more so in effect and understanding. You can't convince (enough) people anymore that it is even important as many don't have capacity to do it. And it isn't even something new at this point.
