Fun fact: 87% of the world's energy is from fossil-based fuel[1]. Over the next 40 years (e.g. in our lifetimes) that will go to zero[2]. We are living in the generation that will be most remembered, not for the Internet, but for the t

Holy hell is this a puff piece. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of SolarCity, but this story is written as if they invented the solar boom that's happening now. Three major factors contributed to making solar as viable as

Great to hear! Able to mention any names? I haven't heard of any YC-backed solar companies beyond Bright, nor seen any at Intersolar or any of the bay area solar industry events. It would be great to see some new faces in the bay area

You listed two things that are optional plugins and are being aggressively deprecated. The vast majority of Chinese users who use VPNs aren't technologically savvy and just want to read the NYTimes or watch Netflix. Now any embedded ad

WebRTC doesn't just leak the client IP address, it also leaks the public IP address of all network interfaces on the machine. If you're on a VPN, it can mean you leak your real IP address, too. Many Chinese use VPNs to circumvent

You should definitely consider joining them! We aren't going to find enough talent from within the existing energy industry, so we'd love to have people come in from outside.

I have a startup in solar software, and the big thing that I don't think people here realize is that 64% of the installed cost of solar in the U.S. is soft costs (i.e. not hardware)[1]. The industry is incredibly inefficient when it co
