It would be worth looking at your investor-owned utility which has had an energy monopoly for half a century and has little incentive to innovate.

The "phased rollback of net metering" is a bit more extreme than you suggest. Have you heard of income-based billing? [1] [1] https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/working-for-you/sdge...

If the CPUC is going to establish statewide policy on the claim that solar is taking from the poor and giving to the rich... incentivizing non-tax-paying churches is a really bad idea. Granted, the CPUC's position is untenable. I think

More on cars than kids? Wow. I am genuinely surprised.

Yep. So much double-speak and lying through the teeth here. The audacity to mention "we're investing in assistant" in an announcement about how they are decidedly de-investing is rich.

Thank you. I can't believe how much FUD is out there from IOU (investor owned utilities) lobbyists that the general populace has accepted uncritically as fact. We need to encourage distributed generation by policy for so many reasons,

The semiconductor industry is split into two key components: - fabs - engineering design centers Broadcom is hardly a semi company anymore after all its high-margin software acquisitions (see: VMWare, Computer Associates/"CA Techn

I have found Tesseract to be both better than I expect (it feels great when it works most of the time) and worse than I expect (not quite enough correct data to fully rely on).

The two situations are different. The Thai rescue had Elon exhibiting strange personal behavior. I never agreed with it. When he admitted he built a staged rail company to subvert public high speed rail and encourage more sales of his cars,

I'll try to take this as a serious comment, but I'm unsure because it displays a lack of awareness. The goal of the project is to go where people want to go. The CAHSR project took in a lot of feedback as well as local political i

Mine serves as a fun party trick. I never built this out but I always wanted to build a little display that shows the overhead plane's src/dest, speed, and altitude using the antenna.

Commenting here for sympathy. My only advice is to find every regulator from the local to national level that governed financial and consumer issues where you used to live in the US. State level ones are usually the right balance of having

> 2,400 queries per order? That's not that crazy IMHO. Isn't that off by at least an order of magnitude though? It forces them to operate a much larger cluster than should be necessary.
