Is that CA number because more properties are generating lots of Solar PV and so need less from the grid? You still have the problem, especially with PV, of the duck curve that requires other producers to ramp down (and potentially be paid

Meanwhile light city EV's exists - such as the Volkswagen e-Up. Much more fun to drive than it has any right to be. Hoping that the ID.1 will be half as good, if it ever sees the light of day.

The more salient point is that you might know the limitations of the tool, I might know the limitations of the tool, but millions of people who don't are using it for things it has known limitations for, because the marketing blitz tha

Isn't this the whole point of Thread? You have a low power mesh network for inside a deployment (house, office, factory, whatever) and it's the border router which does the "communicate with the internet/lan/wider n

And if you don't want to buy an air compressor, an electric computer duster saves you money in the medium and long term. I haven't bought a can of compressed air in years.

You get those meetings at Meta as well ... because there are re-orgs multiple times a year and so the org leadership is sent to sell their teams on how this is now the perfect org structure. Until the next one, of course. There's a fam

Even the way they want to go public, as a Public Benefit Corporation, calls into question whether the board then would allow Musk to take a controlling stake.

For electric and gas that works as it's all just accounting. Energy company A buys futures for has and electricity and it all gets provided via the grid. For trains it's much harder - yes, there are two providers on the WCML, but

Privatize the profit, socialise the losses. The one privatisation I believe the UK got right was British Telecom. We now have a strongly regulated infrastructure side called OpenReach - the price they can charge for last mile connectivity i

Yes - and states actually control much of the curriculum. However, the DOE does things like make sure there is funding for children with additional needs, which lets be honest, are not going to be replicated in certain states if the DOE is

No, but enough people voted for the party that put the supreme court justices in place who ruled on citizens united over the years. Voting isn't a one time thing, it has repercussions that can be felt decades later (see shortages of AT

There's a load of places you can shoot yourself in the foot, e.g., not using constant time comparison functions, which leaves you open to timing attacks.

Sadly I don't think it's used any more - it was migrated away from. I worked in integrity there and quite enjoyed whenever I had to make some changes to the Haskell rules :)

Autism diagnosis requires (or at least should, for it to be done properly) a multidisciplinary evaluation. In the case of my children, there were certain tests that were absolutely definitive, and not reliant on interpretation - namely, idi

Because no parliament can bind a future one - and there is a general right wing movement that the BBC is "biased" (despite them stacking the news leadership with their own appointees since 2010), and so the tax would be rife for c

That's absolutely false. If people claimed that it was definitively lab leak in origin, it was (correctly) labelled as false. Can you cite me examples, with wording, of people positing it, but not claiming it outright, who were censore

Were they? Or were those who claimed it was the only possible answer, without the evidence to back that up?

I worked around this by exposing most HA entities to HomeKit using the built-in HomeKit bridge. That way you get all the "this is just integrated with Siri and it's easy for non technical people to control" as well as much mo

One solution to this if you're using Shellies to provide your "turn a dumb light switch into a smart light switch" is the scripting it has on offer. I have 100% Zigbee lights, and each lighting circuit has a Shelly Plus 1 wit

My biggest boons was adding a tuneable LED strip along the back side of my desk, which softly lights up the wall behind my monitors, and getting a Colorimeter. The colorimeter in particular has been great - most monitors come eye-searingly

AFAIK they were dismissed with prejudice, so can't be brought again.

That's a particularly uncharitable take. If we assume good intent, what OP was getting at is that we had that form of governance, it failed, we then slowly marched towards democracy, and now it looks like a backslide.

And don't forget the amazing workaround Zimmerman of PGP fame came up with - the source code in printed form was protected 1A speech, so it was published, distributed, and then scanned and OCR'd outside the US - https:/&#x2F

Except they reversed course after the outrage, and people are happily still using those speakers, albeit with the S1 app.

If this is the thing YEARS ago, they backtracked and they still work via the S1 app.

Yes - interested in this too. Is this for both ARC and L2ARC, or just L2ARC?

In a first instance? Unlikely. If you KEEP saying it, despite being told that it's making your coworkers uncomfortable, then you're just being an asshole, and sorry, people don't like working with assholes.

It's more than to buy one of the super rare models (GT3 RS) you need to buy other cars first ... and at the moment, that means a Taycan. They're damn nice cars though, IMHO.
