It is not good enough to replace workers of a skill level I would hire. But that won't stop people doing it.

It's not brought up because this is not the source of the growth whatsoever. It has only served to keep our gasoline and methane costs low compared to the rest of the world. That's nice for people but does not create massive econo

Government debt only becomes a problem when it becomes a problem to pay it. We're nowhere near that point in the US.

Wowwwww. This is the most blatant white supremacist rhetoric I have seen on HN.

If I can just break into your house can I just take your stuff? It's not my problem you worked to earn it.

That's one way to frame it. Another is Sol-ark incurs costs of developing, marketing and supporting their official devices and the contract manufacturer is able to sell their own version in the Chinese market. Greedy people who don&#x2

These devices do not depend on the cloud. If I want to take my Sol-Ark inverter offline I can just take the wifi dongle off it. Dunno about the bootleg Deye one.

Why are you blaming Sol-Ark when Deye is the one in breach of contract taking illegal actions the entire time? Seems very disingenuous. They also did not force Deye's hand in this action and seem surprised by it.

It's really nice to be able to check whether the state of your power is at home before you go there if there's a question.

To be clear, Sol-Ark isn't only the distributor but per their own claims also designed and engineered the units too.

by greenthrow 2y ago
Title is a bit misleading and makes it sound like Sol-Ark did this. They did not. Title should be "Deye manufacturer reportedly disables all Deye inverters in the US". They are the same entity but this wording avoids confusion abo

Flashing is easily fixed with a capacitor and also not a bad thing if it turns off when it loses power immediately. The only explanation that makes sense to me is it being separately controlled is a feature not a bug.

As usual when you take a dismissive stance ("this is obviously a waste of money!") you are ignoring lots od details. The use case of a mail carrier is not well suited by a massive eSprinter. They have no need for something so larg

Having this strong of an opinion on something you admittedly don't understand (the appeal of podcasts) is not a great choice. Maybe ask people instead of making up stuff.

You might as well wish that the factories produced teleporters. You're putting the cart before the horse. You have to fix the demand side first. I know there's an online demand for public transportation and bikes and if you are in

That is not remotely how tariffs work.

Western country populations seem to be willfully falling for obvious fossil fuel propaganda over and over again. Future generations will rightfully curse our names. (Including today's children.)

Owner of residential solar in snowy state and snow isn't even worth expending the effort to clear off. It doesn't block as much light as you'd think, and if there's enough light to generate power the panels will heat the

Because people need power in Wisconsin and even there solar is cheaper than fossil fuels. Also snow isn't a big deal for solar. Clouds are the problem.

It's news because the US is a big time laggard in renewables for a variety of terrible reasons. (Mostly oil/coal lobbying and utility monopolies stifling competition.)

The article is pure hogwash but apparently Christian propagandists are downvoting anyone who speaks up for factual history.

This is absolute ahistorical nonsense. The rise of Christianity is definitely not a story of Cooperate bot.

1) Batteries very rarely need to actually be replaced. It is inevitable that transmissions and ICE engines will need very expensive large services and always need regulae maintenance that adds up over time. 2) ICE engines absolutely do not

This is brought up all the time by anti-EV folks. Usually in the form of "the grid can't handle everyone switching to EVs!" Which is obviously silly because no one is snapping the infinity gauntlet and turning all ICE vehic

It's not theoretical, and you don't need them to talk to each other to reduce accidents. Nor is the tech you mention necessarily unique to EVs. There's evidence already that the safety features shipping on modern cars, includ

The greater wear on tires issue is over stated. By far the greatest impact on tire wear is how you drive. My first set of all seasons in my BMW i4 M50 went more than 25k miles. The cars being heavy issue may get better due to EVs longer ter

As someone driving EVs for more than 10 years; maintenance is far less. The articles claiming maintenance is more expensive on EVs are lying. What has happened is there has been a non-scientific survey by Consumer Reports showing people sel

This article brings up some very simple software engineering problems and the most obvious/widely used approach to dealing with them, but this is by no means the only approach that works best at scale. Also not necessarily the best app

So many times HN posters have extolled how Bezos hasn't interfered with the WaPo and those of us who expressed concern about his purchase were chicken littles. It has never been true and it's plain as day now. He bought it for the
