If the price of solar continues to drop rapidly, why would anyone buy solar? Waiting a couple years for another 50% price drop seems like an obvious choice while we're still in the $5k-10k range to outfit a home.

At the risk of meta-discussion: wow that is the worst scrolling hijack I've ever seen. All the info could easily be in one conventionally-scrolling page, but scrolling is completely disabled, forcing mouse clicks to scroll down, up(!

This reminds me of a similar error from 2005[1] where a trader mistook the "price" and "quantity" fields of the trading software. Instead of selling 1 share for 610,000 yen, 610,000 shares were sold for 1 yen. The mistak

I doubt it's the data itself that your browser is struggling with. It's more likely the parsing of the comment content, generation of 20,000 templates, keeping track of probably a quarter million DOM nodes, listening to a hundred

Have you ever started a js app thinking you don't need jQuery? It usually goes great until you need to make a request. One look at `XMLHttpRequest` and suddenly including a 92kb (unminified) library starts to sound appealing. I'd

The biggest breakthrough might not be in technology, but in policy. Nuclear propulsion has offered high-Isp and high-thrust together in the same engine since the 60s[1], but for various reasons it hasn't flown. With the right safety pr

Don't let it stop you from applying. It might stop them from hiring you, but let them decide that. Seriously, if a position interests you, apply. There have been plenty of ITAR exceptions.

Have you ever tried using a safety razor? The blades cost pennies. I also find I get substantially less razor burn. Switching to shaving soap instead of aerosol cream keeps my total shaving cost to <$10/year.
