How much space do you think an EV charger takes? They are the size of parking meters. They are built into lamp posts.

If you don't charge at home at least 90% of the time, the EV loses most of the benefits. This will slowly change as more EVs are sold and the charging infrastructure improves.

I discussed this with an Uber driver with a rented Tesla. I asked him how much it cost to charge at home. He said he doesn't, he only uses pay chargers $10-$20 per day. Some people don't charge at home, even if it would save the

We already have a leap year, where we add an extra day every four years. So why could we not adjust the clock every 500 years when it gets out of sync by 20 minutes?

Solar powered 'reefer' trailers have been around for a long time, just not economically viable until recently. Dozens of companies showed new designs last year.

I'm for that as well. Some minor issues that I've thought of. Currently the day changes (Mon -> Tue) at midnight local time. If the day followed UTC, then would California change from Mon->Tues at midnight UTC, which is 4

And you can still use UTC as your indicator for day and night. In 100 years, it would only drift around 1 minute.

It's a minor problem. One minute off in a hundred years is something we can all live with.

Maybe we could power the trains along the rail, or in catenary above? Add a very small battery to power it maneuvering around the rail yard?

Computer assistance can prevent over-votes and warn of under-votes. It also resolves any "voter intent" questions (i.e. hanging chads). It can also format the printed ballot to increase the speed at which a machine can read them

We need a voter verified paper trail, based on an open standard, that can be read by different tabulator machines running different software, and still be hand counted just in case.

Yet the West wants to "solve" their drought by shipping Mississippi over the Rockies. Maybe just stop farming water-intensive crops in the desert?

Wrong. Everyone loses when I refuse to pay $20 for a package when I only want one channel? I realize I can't pay $1 per channel (20 channels for $20), but I'd be willing to pay $5.

"Hobby projects can make up to 3000 API calls per month for free." How many API calls on a page view? One? Many?

That's a bad example. The unoccupied hotel was vandalized before the homeless were moved in. Yes, it a boondoggle, but nothing to do with homeless.

I don't see it as a replacement for sendgrid. I believe the API is more for the management of a FastMail mailbox. For example, this might allow IFTTT to monitor for emails and take an action.

Theoretically, the Department of Interior can impose cuts if necessary to protect reservoir levels. This would likely be challenged in courts all the way up to SCOTUS, and take years to resolve. It's a huge mess
