There is no power. Power is IV, current times voltage. The voltage will be the rated voltage of the panel at that sunlight level, but the current is 0 (minus some very, very small (microamp) internal currents). Alternately, power can be exp

I know red wine is just as bad for me as any other alcohol, which is to say quite bad, and in any dose. I meant I've largely quit because of that. But I just can't quit you, Red Wine.

In music, there are a wide variety of genres with a wide variety of sophistication. And for the most part, there are serious artists doing serious work in all genres, including pop, c&w, hiphop, etc. The most esoteric Jazz musician will

This goes against the conventional wisdom that a properly glued wood junction is stronger than the wood itself, and that under such forces it is the wood that will fail.

How is it more visible? Dowel joints are great, as far as I know Krenov never used anything else on his cabinet carcasses. I'm not sure why they developed a bad reputation.

An economic migrant changes locale to find work. A digital nomad has work but conducts it from various places, not just the locale if the business. It's not just a racist term, they're different.

It's one of my great regrets that I didn't get into YC in 2007. There was no Dropbox yet, but we were building essentially the same thing except integrated into Windows rather than on the web, with an office collaboration focus. (
