Why? It's got 3+ redundancy and is simple & fast to snapshot to geographically redundant backups.

Wouldn't moving taxes from income to sales-based resolve many of these issues?

What are the established alternatives? ZFS has tools do execute the actual snapshots and to do the actual mirroring, but nothing to manage which snapshots to keep or how to actually reliably get a snapshot from one place to another.

True, but if you write Ruby all day and are most familiar with it, a script like this takes a matter of minutes to write compared to trawling the man pages of grep/awk/sed to implement the same thing you're only going to thro

I know you probably already realise this, but they obviously mean kWh. I normally wouldn't comment, but to most people a kW is a kWh and, in context, it's obvious they're talking about kWh.

You need to wait a bit longer for the images to load.

This is completely off-topic but I find it so hard to convince myself to read a 14,000 word (or any other long-form) article anymore. At least the New Yorker doesn't try to maximise ad revenue by splitting this across 25 pages.

Which was my point :). You seemed to be suggesting you could just buy 2x $3500 batteries and go completely off the grid.

You shouldn't. Tesla have a much shorter track record than someone like Iron Edison. Also… if you read my comment, you'll see the batteries are cheaper than Tesla's… and if you look online, you can see they come in various co

Fine. 4.8kW Li-Ion battery for USD$3,278 1.9kW for USD$1,678. My point is that Tesla isn't really doing anything really unique here. Sure, they're giving it more press than anyone really has before, but the products aren't es

They provide a 10 year warranty on their Ni-Fe batteries… but their spec sheets allow for a much longer lifespan: https://ironedison.com/renewable-energy-batteries

So why not solar power (1kW), storage (3.6kWh) with 25+ year life, inverter (2.8kW) and other electrical systems for just USD$8,702. The batteries are only USD$2,910 of that. http://ironedison.com/edison-power-plus-system

You definitely could, but that will increase costs even further. You're potentially replacing all your lighting, climate-control, water heating, cleaning (dishes/clothes), cooking & fridge/s to be more energy efficient al

2 is not enough. 4kW seems to be the maximum potential drain from the battery. That wouldn't power an oven… let alone anything else at the same time. 4kW inverters seem to be around the $1000 mark… but they don't seem to increase

10kWh of deep-cycle batteries aren't that large. It's not like people in apartments are going to be using this product.

Doesn't include inverter or installer markup and can only provide 2kW output. It will get expensive by the time you actually have all the bits you need inside your house. How is this better than deep-cycle batteries (with 20+ year live

Sorry, that payroll tax was incorrect. WA doesn't have a payroll tax. They have an unemployment tax/insurance… and is based on how many employees have become unemployed from you. It would be pretty easy to consider this to be quit

I'm curious as to how you think this will fail? Do you think they'll suddenly get a lot of pressure to decrease their revenues? Do you think they'll suddenly lose a whole bunch of clients because they're paying above m

You're right, I didn't see the 120 employee figure. I'm going to work this out a little different though than you assumptions, given the types of jobs that are here, I don't think the average will jump a huge amount thou

People keep comparing this to Bluebird, which is great and all, but Bluebird's JS is 72KB minified, whereas this library is just 3KB. That's what makes this a "small" JavaScript library for managing asynchronicity. And w
