you misunderstand how the "+4" storage design works for solar. a 1MW solar plant nameplate capacity will only produce 1M for an hour or two a day, the hours before and after that peak will be some fraction, the sum total off the

that only further proves the point, those cases may have more lax safety thresholds but they still wind up wildly over budget all the time.

this inevitably turns into an argument over the definition of "realistic" that then in turn becomes an argument over hope/positivity-vs-doomer that then inevitably turns into an argument over values. with that caveat out of t

IMHO I think the general globalism/market-liberal ideological consensus that most of us were a.) raised to believe in and b.) happy to use as a justification for why we make 2x - 10x the median income, is crumbling. (note I'm not

there is a small but growing cohort of people who both a.) work in all or predominantly remote orgs and b.) understand the carbon cost of flying. if your team meets those critera then this is the only way to make these decisions. even if

first off thank you, anything even remotely down this road is the right direction. as a UI bug, when I typed "ewr" or even "newark" it shows zero search results. strangely if i back off just one character on either then

fwiw, the reason github pages is the fastest is because they're cached by fastly. you can cut out the middle man and put your static site directly on their edgecompute platform now (up to 50MB): https://www.fastly.com/

Its interesting as a theme to spot check things these days with: "is what I think is normal really a zirp/vc-bubble anomaly?"

you are mistaken. its combination of aerodynamics and composite bodyweight give it particularly excellent range. also as a byproduct of the teardrop aerodynamic design it actually has a somewhat absurd amount of luggage space. third it is

we have lots of ways to replace lots of carbon in lots of places. system engineering does not work in binaries, there are dozens of curves with plenty of room to bend.

I take an optimistically cynical view of this pattern. As a rule, we tend to solve things wrong the first few tries. Carbon offsets and credits and the policy and technology and market pricing soup is going to be an absolute shit show bef

You might find some of Adam Curtis's films help you feel less baffled. Not that they have 'answers' but good contextual analysis that will give better understanding. Century of the Self, and Can't Get You Out of My Head

Do you happen to know if electric motorcycles are meaningfully diverging on these? Like how many EVs adopted single-pedal driving, are there e-motorcycle analogues?

V2G is mostly relegated to "someday, hopefully soon", but there are two incremental steps that are already getting traction in the market today, V2H and V2L.

yes but the upgraded/replaced transformer will be much cheaper than the battery, so it would take some other circumstance (an impossible to upgrade transmission/distribution line) for it to make sense. our grids will start to grow

having worked on globally distributed caching for the last decade, the absurd abundance of low-hanging-fruit here is genuinely exciting. the system has as closed to zero 'intelligence' (software) built in as can be right now, so

One of the reasons renewables will have an easier time replacing fossil fuels than people who worry about intermittency/baseload think is that for most people, in most places, the grid simply isn't that reliable anyway. Cheaper a
