Given the revelations from the organization named US Right to Know, this should no longer be surprising or controversial (hell, more than one US federal agency has concluded it was lab leak). That said, when I post such revelations on HN, t

Was hoping for something regarding how this death benefits Putin whatsoever, especially at the time it occurred. Disappointed, but not at all surprised to see nothing new here. I can think of others who had much more to benefit from Navalny

Exactly, or at least have more tiers of pricing based on the time of day. I visited another state and was pleasantly surprised to see four time windows that shift based on season. In Southern California, there are only 2, and I doubt most c

Look at the Time of Use plans that CA IOUs have on offer and you can see why this is happening. Most of them only have 2 modes: high and low, with only 4-9 as peak. If they actually wanted to manage the duck curve, they could easily put a s

The point was that the comment was based on prejudice. It was deleted and the user reprimanded, so clearly not just an “SJW” jab (itself a ridiculous cliche to invoke in this context). Whether the comment was purely based on religious affil

$700 million seems like a lot of money for this. Hopefully this will succeed. Zombie malls are such a plague in many municipalities. The local jurisdiction needs to start imposing vacancy taxes and deadlines to fill them. Beyond that, turn
