1. Lower your asking price. The days of 6 figure boot camp grads are over, at least temporarily. 2. Get as much professional experience as possible. There's an entire world outside of the startup/HN crowd where you can thrive in a

BNPL is just a non-asset-backed sub-prime loan. We've seen this movie before and how it ends. BNPL firms can't survive a recession or higher consumer delinquencies.

Dumb question: could we build a big pipeline from the Pacific Coast and just pump billions (trillions?) of gallons of ocean water to the Great Salt Lake?

Blue Blocker lenses. Also, I get "Plus One". Talk to your eye doctor. They can do "ADD +1.00" to your prescription to make things larger but still in focus. You won't have to hunch forward either. Then I make all of

They work great, but are terrible for video calls as they reflect the light back so your eyeglasses look like "mirrors" to others on the video call.

I'm a stock Xbox Series X console player in DMZ mode. I also sometimes get the random crashes and "DEV ERROR" messages after being removed from the game. I also have been removed from games several times with the "Player

Sort of the anti-Google. Whereas Google will release something, get user traction and then try to make it 'best in the world'. If it doesn't get to world class status, then it cancels it and moves on, pissing off the early ad

Follow @davidfowl on Twitter/Github and look at "Minimal API" code for beautiful C# code and examples for specific scenarios. C# is VERY different from even just what things were 2 years ago. You can now build a full-on app

And this is the problem OP is talking about. Outdated thinking from a 15 years ago is how cargo cults hold onto all the power.

You can do anything you put your mind to. But if you have doubts or not fully committed, then you're more likely to fail. In other words, just do it. Don't look back. You only have so many years of your life left. Make it worth it

The regulations here are prohibitively expensive. Your state probably has a public service commission that won't allow you to compete with the local power company. Competition in the utilities business is illegal.

In the U.S., the National Electric Code requires UL-listed components. The inverters, the panels, wires, even the racking must be UL-listed and not simply "UL tested". The manufacturer has to pay UL a few million dollars to list t

That already exists. It's called SREC credits. Large corporations pay SREC credits to homeowners and others to reduce carbon. Those credits can be cashed out, and many just use the money to buy more solar panels and batteries.

For one, very sunny places like California are getting very close to the "too much solar" on their energy production. Until microgrids take off, this is going to be a very serious problem in the next 12-24 months. California will

Bad installations make for ugly looks and can ruin the value of the entire neighborhood (who wants to live next to the guy with the odd-shaped panels on his roof?).

In the USA, most HOAs have the ability to place a lien on your house. When you try to sell your property, you have to pay that fine or your house can't be sold. They can also file a lawsuit against you in court which the court can forc
