US grid transmission losses are estimated to be 5%. You'd come out ahead pretty quickly if your neighbors can't use your surplus.

> Selling your surplus ev power to grid is a huge waste, charging your neighbours car is a better use. Electricity is fungible (ignoring transmission losses), so what's the difference?

Marketplace airs on stations that might happen to also air NPR. It's more like dual booting Windows and Linux on your Dell that has a Windows sticker on it.

What it's really saying is we need a better metric now that front and back of house have decoupled.

I'm more bothered by ads in mass transit because that's a government-owned bus/train it's on. At least I can vote with my dollar if I don't want my car to show me ads.

One big problem is layoffs cluster around events like the dot com bubble, the financial crisis, or covid, so there are weird things happening. You might be able to look at companies' quarterly profits to identify healthy companies that

Who would even buy Chrome? No one's building new browsers, and MS even walked away from the browser game. Mozilla and Firefox haven't been relevant for a decade. The only buyer I can see is private equity, and that's sort of

It was in 1995. We briefly flirted with 18%, but it's 20% now. At least for restaurants, taxis, and barbers. I've been prompted for tips at self checkout kiosks and tip a generous 0%.

Is this burying the lede? OCR is a solved problem, but structuring document data from scans isn't.

You'll be happier finding a replacement meter that has an interface to monitor it directly or a second meter. An old phone and OCR will be very brittle.
