And the majority of people will charge when power is cheapest, meaning peak power won’t increase nearly as much.

This is cool! I've made my own last year, but it took some time - I'd have probably paid $20 to skip the effort. Being personalized means I can have a few tasks show up every weekday which is handy.

I've found switching every other drink for an Non-alcholic beer is working quite well. They're pretty tasty these days, and your hands are still busy with a drink.

We should guarantee a price to refill the SPR, so US oil companies will continue to invest in US production for the medium term. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1572896629489041410?...

Some dams have additional capacity for flood mitigation, like Wivenhoe Dam in Queensland. Unfortunately that’s not fool proof either: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%932011_Queensland...

This is the monitors fault though right? Because the manufacturer flashes them with the exact same identifier, so the laptop has no way to tell them apart. There was a blog post about it here recently. https://notes.alinpanaitiu.

I want to host a Calibre server somewhere in the cloud but not spend more than a $1 or two per month to do it. Anyone done this?

Here's a font that worked for me: ```curl -Lo spleen-16x32.bdf.bdf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fcambus/spleen/master/sple... ``` Added a Dockerfile to make the build easier here: https://

I don't think it'll play out this way. There's no new tech needed to scale up recharge stations, and they can continue to scale up linearly with demand, so you'd expect the supply will increase to meet demand. Fast-charg

Yeah, you could if you plug a keyboard into the remarkable as it’s just running Linux. The plug position is a bit awkward though.

I’m doing the same, though I had to fork Yaft to get a bigger font.

Do you mean "how am I SSHing to the remarkable"? That's pretty straightforward - follow https://remarkablewiki.com/tech/ssh . I'm just doing it from my laptop. You don't have to SSH though, you

I've been using my Remarkable 2 as a terminal for Vim via SSH. Works a treat - like having a super capable typewriter: https://imgur.com/a/hyLjg14

In this case it’s really on the executives at the utilities, who have a lot of power over the local politicians. This podcast did a great explainer: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/howtosaveaplanet/dvhz9ab

For me, only occasionally, but when I do it’s often a huge help - can save an immense amount of time not re-doing that work. Most of the value is in helping align my thoughts as I go though.

Some areas of space have a more matter than others e.g. galactic clusters, where the relative speed of the galaxies to each other is higher than the expansion. This video from the excellent Space Time series helps explain it: https:/

No, obviously not. Previous theories without dark matter (or MOND) aren’t sufficient to explain what we can observe. So additional complication is necessary.

It’s both, but the contribution from distance will be much greater than from the relative speed for an old, distant galaxy.

I use a remarkable for this reason, and so I can scribble notes in the margin.

This is cool. I’ve been running a few personal projects on Glitch for the past year, and some have grown up enough I’d like to have them run on a more robust platform. Going to give this a try.

Has any city tried combining those HAWK Signals (flashing amber on crosswalk) triggered by a camera looking for pedestrians (/ cyclists etc)? I think that would be a cost-effective combination by making the pedestrians much more obvio
