Moving #isocontainers one at a time via #hgv to & from Castlebar 250km to port is incredibly inefficient. As diesel hits €10/gallon this practice is completely #unsustainable #uneconomic #modalshift #roadsafety #carbonfootprint #mayofreight #railfreight fleet.ie/castlebar-rail-frei…

The GDP Handbrake Global GDP is restricted by several “but we’ve always done it this way” technologies that are technologically inferior to other solutions, and their only moat is “but this very old supply chain is reliable” even though said supply chain is not. So what are they? 1. Transformers, ancient technology that has no moat whatsoever other than no buyer ever needs more than one. And so it’s never worth making your own, even though it’s not even difficult. It’s one of those pieces of equipment where accountants just accept that is has a 36 month lead time, and never ask “what is it made of?”. 2. Steam Turbines, 18th Century technology that was long ago surpassed by the Brayton cycle which is more compact, more efficient, can be closed loop… but steam is simple and old. So old simple people still buy it. But seriously we only use it because the supply chain is so calcified and the newer alternatives are seen as “too fancy”, even though they are actually very simple too. 3. Marine Diesel Engines, heavy, maintenance heavy, load, slow, dirty, heavy, loud and heavy. We haul the world’s bulk freight and dry cargo with engines that run on carcinogenic sludge. Their main benefit is a politically acceptable / discrete way to dispose of extremely nasty petroleum fracking tower byproducts. 4. The AC Power Grid, moving AC power over longer distances has significant reactive power losses. HVDC convertor stations made HVDC more economical a long time ago. HVDC is today vastly superior and still improving but we are locked into a 19th century decision that limits transmission to <400 miles. 5. Lead Acid Batteries, there are more lead acid batteries in operation than Li-Ion. They live on because the lead acid recycling infrastructure is highly circular which means they are extremely cheap to recycle now that they are in circulation. They are very difficult to economically dislodge. 6. Portland Cement, the way we make concrete hasn’t changed in 200 years. We should be using geopolymer cements. There are cements that scrub the air clean, are stronger and cure faster. But building codes lock in crappy technology. 7. Non-Isomodal Pallets, it sounds boring but a whole lot of pallet standards do not neatly fit inside isocontainers. This is a huge P.I.T.A. But their mere existence locks in their existence. These technologies are holding back maybe 1,000 basis points of GDP. Maybe $10 trillion a year. They are all mostly crap. They were all eclipsed decades ago, and major capital projects are just too weakly run to move beyond them. Oh I can’t get a transformer for 3 years? Four years lead time on a steam turbine? Oh well, we will just place an oder and wait in line, whilst the discount rate totally destroys our NPV. There is locked in junk everywhere, this is by no means an exhaustive list.

Ports are the new cities. The Port of Los Angeles handles $300 billion of goods each year. That’s just over 1% of US GDP through a single 4,000 acre site. There are 3 other US ports at this scale. Now it takes 7 days for goods to clear customs before they are released into the US economy, and that’s a bottleneck on port throughput and US trade. Now that we have Starlink, surely it’s not long until we have smart shipping containers that can monitor goods being loaded, monitor for tamper detection, record and stream on demand video, etc at the country of origin and can run their own pre-customs checks at sea before imports are landed in America. This should be something that AI can get very good at quite quickly, by aggregating data and learning where the risk is in real time, and where Customs Authorities should focus their attention. Low risk containers cleared by AI pre-checks could be released much more quickly. This alone could improve port throughput, increase US trade, increase tariff revenue, increase GDP and lower inflation. It’s very doable now the technology exists to automate at scale and remotely. Seaward customs is one of many quick wins now available to the whole economy. Find 10 similar hacks and you have a decade long economic boom that self compounds. There are lots of big gains around 100 year old infrastructure. Pair AI isocontainers with nuclear propulsed cargo ships, and the world gets a lot smaller, working capital tied up in stock gets recycled faster. Start thinking about the second and third order effects of AI and you start to realise the future global economy is going to cluster around 2-400 vertically integrated gigaports. These are the new cities of the new economy.

Ukraine destroying Russia’s entire fleet of long range nuclear strike bombers in a single afternoon, with just 4 weaponised isocontainers (autonomous containers full of drones) is the most @thinkdefence thing I can possibly imagine.

Great picture but you must admit to fewer isocontainers and much less mud now. Actually if you do visit you will find it a grand little airport, the hub of our fantastic 🇫🇰 Figas service. And very convenient for the beaches and penguins 🐧

[AMPLIACIÓ] @bomberscat incorpora dues dotacions més, un total de 19 a l'incendi. Segons explica el cos, "cremen tres sitges amb dipòsits de fibra en isocontainers de 1.000 litres aproximadament" #ElPrat Imatge: @ajelprat

Los bomberos y servicios de emergencia continúan trabajando en la extinción del incendio en el polígono pratense. Se han incendiado tres silos con depósitos de fibra en isocontainers de aproximadamente 1.000 litros. El incendio está prácticamente controlado.

Ja en són 19 les dotacions #bomberscat que treballen en les tasques d'extinció de l'incendi de la depuradora del Prat de Llobregat declarat poc abans de les 10 de la nit. Cremen tres sitges amb dipòsits de fibra en isocontainers de 1.000 litres aproximadament
