   Grid tie pricing should be reimbursed first, at spot retail rates. Anything above your grid fees should then be credited at spot wholesale prices. All electricity customers should be forced to pay the grid tie fee, without special peak cons

   The barrier to move an hour and a half is less than moving across country, but it’s not insignificant. Your kids are changing school/school districts. You’re finding a new church. Your friends who you met for dinner each Friday - not g

   I’ve known many Intel process engineers who’ve worked 80 hour weeks for years on end. This 48 hour TSMC demand would be a relief. Unfortunately, while TSMC moved to AZ, the moved to the other side of Phoenix from the existing Fabs. An Intel

   Sad, but not surprising. With social media, and YouTube making it easy to disseminate warnings on vehicle quality, people are much more educated before their purchases. Scotty Kilmer’s YouTube channel has convinced me against buying a new G

   Towing range is going to be a problem for things like hauling a boat, or a trailer. It’ll be effectively worthless, as you’ll have a range of 100 miles with a trailer, meaning that you can’t be more than 50 miles from a supercharger. Maybe

   Isn’t the government’s purpose to enforce property rights? Medallion owners didn’t just mint these medallions in their own shed. The government created the medallions, and intentionally limited supply to prevent road saturation (and other q

   Any bailout should be paid for by a tax on ride sharing service. The government had granted the medallion owners a monopoly, and then refused to enforce that monopoly when the ride sharing services came into service. It would be like invest

    I own a massive gas guzzler, and a Tesla. The massive gas guzzler is used to pickup the kids, and drives less than 50 miles a week. I use it to pull a boat a few times a year. And sometimes we take it on road-trips (sorry Tesla, the superch

    Minor audio glitches due to read latency never happen? My assertion is that there exist audio applications which incorrectly utilize buffers, which would then be improved by more consistent read latency.

    It’s only UBI if a person can sit around, smoke weed and play video games without working? Ok, then your roommate can hire you for $0.10/hr to clean the apt, and you can hire your roommate to do the dishes for $0.10/hr.

    I’ve wondered if Universal Basic Income could be designed to eliminate illegal immigration. First, we eliminate minimum wage. Second, we provide a weekly UBI check based upon hours worked for that week. The hourly UBI payment would be rough

    You write that reads will not trigger wear leveling, and then you go on to explain multiple scenarios in which reads will trigger rewrites. Those rewrites can cause elevated read latency. I have done SSD code reviews with multiple SSD vendo

    I would have preferred a review that wasn’t quite as dismissive. SSDs have periodic higher read latency that could impact audio playback if the host buffers aren’t large enough. The flash translation layer periodically reshuffles data, even
