Nothing is ever that simple. Nevertheless I would rather opt for upgrading the infrastructure than upgrading the installation at every home/office. IMHO, smarter grids are much better than batteries all over the place.

This new push towards off-grid, battery-powered solar power just doesn't sound right. Batteries might have improved, but they are high maintenance and polluting. Moreover this requires the addition of a lot of new electrical circuitry

I totally agree to this. Gruber just praises everything that Apple does and knocks out other ideas. I see bias in his analysis of other ideas and products. Works for him because so many people want to hear exactly that.

In some ways I like Google Now. It can organize things on my phone utilizing Google's vast knowledge about my activities online. But the same thing bothers me deeply. Our lives have become subjects to these machine learning algorithms.

Funny thing about trying to standardize products or frameworks - You start with one fine product. Someone wants a bit extra, so they make a fork of the project. Then someone tries to make an all encompassing product to cover all the subsets

I learnt Flask first and then Django. I like Django more. Figuring out which Flask package to pick is lot of unnecessary work. In most cases, you would end up using templates, ORM, Security, Forms, Admin, Migration anyway. Django's def

I like these slides that are hosted on golang.org -- navigating them on the browser gets a bit restrictive though. I figured if you "Print/Save to pdf" from your web browser, you can get a nice pdf copy.
