Depends on whether you're talking about a single battery cell or a pack.

My point is that nuclear isn’t suitable for peaking, and given the lead times and capex for building new plants, and the rapidly declining price of storage, it makes them an undesirable financial investment especially when you consider that

Nuclear is great as a baseload, but as wind and solar reach overcapacity, peakers will be more useful to react to changes in weather. But by then, energy storage will be economical and scalable enough to obviate gas and coal for this purpos

The vast majority of mammalian biology research is based on mice. So many ‘in mice’ studies cross this forum, but this is the first time I’ve seen the ethical aspect raised. To that end, while I was reading the article I was thinking about

And for lithium batteries, maintaining an overcapacity drastically increases the lifetime by reducing the depth of the cycle. e.g., you get vastly more cycles at %50 DoD vs %80. This would increase the lifespan to be many decades

Those would be provided by a CDN, with some storage service underneath that. Configuration secrets that (transitively) point to these services should be injected by the build system and have no business being in source code.

They mean 'configuration secrets'. Those variables used for internal authorization and configuration that should never be leaked outside the organization. If source code of AGPL software is modified and used for an online servic

by h0l0cube 3y ago
Best practice is to not have secrets in your source code. Those should be supplied by an internal service, or injected by your build pipeline at the least.
